Top 5 Films of 2019
Top 5 Films ofĀ 2019
So hereās the thingā¦I just got done tabulating all of the new films that came out this year (2019) that I was fortunate enough to seeā¦and it barely cracked 10 movies. Wowā¦justā¦wow. Iāve never had that happen before. I mean, looking back at 2019 it makes sense. I started a new job that made me work ungodly hours, the kiddo is now a toddler so that takes up a lot of free time, and things keptā¦

Fall Games (I like sports!)
Fall Games (I likeĀ sports!)
Ok, so Iāve been a lifelong sports fan. No surprise there. However, my excitement for certain sports kind of ebbs and flows depending on a multitude of variables. Are we competitive this year? Is there a particular player Iām excited about (oh Jimmy Gobble, how I miss thee)? Have I/will I be able to attend any games? Is there any new storylines throughout the season? The list goes on. Some yearsā¦

Before someone becomes a parent for the first time, you never truly appreciate your free time. For realsies. Before our kiddo came, I didnāt understand the amount of time that I had at my disposal. I mean, there were times were I used the free time well but most of the time it was a missed opportunity.
There was one constant though. Board games were a frequent occurrence in my free time. Didnātā¦

Hello dear friendā¦Iāve missedĀ you.
Itās been a while, hasnāt it? Iām sorry Iāve been away. Life has been crazy busy. I let everything else take priority and you got pushed to the side. I feel really cruddy about that. Hopefully, someday, I can make it up to you. Let me start by feeling you in on everything that has happened since we last spoke in February of this year.

āThis is gonna take cracker jack timing,Ā Wangā
Iāve been debating doing Ā a weekly (or bi-weekly) film review of films I love (or hate) or possibly films Iām seeing for the first time despite how long it has been out. Like a classic 1980ās flick that has flown under my radar or a small, indie film that came out 2014. I think itād be fun. While I wonāt have any great insight to a film (there are lots of folks who know film and pop culture wayā¦

Biggest Film Disappointments 2016
Biggest Film DisappointmentsĀ 2016
So a little over a week ago I posted about my top 10 films for last year. If only those had been the only releases in 2016. There were some major disappointments that not only t0ok advantage of my hard earned cash, but also wasted my time. There wasnāt a ton of agreement on my top 10, but Iām fairly certain this list will be very agreeable.
Note: Even if a film is on this list of disappointments,ā¦

Yesterday evening, I was driving home and listening to the Chiefs play the Texans in the AFC Wildcard. At this point in the game a victory for the Chiefs was a forgone conclusion. We were up 30-0 and had just hit the two minute mark. Basically there was a better chance of winning the Powerball that night then the Texans making a comeback (I didnāt win and the Texans didnāt make come back.)
