Later this evening I am going to be embarking on a journey... not a journey of Biblical proportions... but still a journey nonetheless. Consider me Moses... Now, imagine me going to the Promise Land. It's a perfect analogy. Except the me and Moses really have nothing in common, except that you consided me Moses in our little hypothetical situation and that you imagined me going to the Promise Land.

Now let's just say that that Promised Land was California. Well... you just imagined right!!! I'm going to California. I'm gonna saddle and load up the car with supplies and I'm leaving... oh yes... I'm leaving... nay to return til 5 days hence...

So BYU's last game was a horribly depressing exibit. I've never even heard of a game that was this boring. The Final Score was BYU 0 (first shutout since the 50's or something like that), Utah 3. I've seen soccer games with much higher scores. Plus... it was like 20 degrees outside. And the game was so close that you had to stay and watch. It was just a horrible experience all the way around.

I officially have changed my major... I am now going to do Marketing and Advertising. It's in the communications school. What really drew me to the major was the whole "communications" thing. It's about time I had a phoney major. Maybe now I can get a good grade on something. Probably not... but at least it's worth a try. Amen... and Amen.

So... the new Russell Crow movie caused quite the stir amoungst the masses... but to be honest, I'm not quite sure that I'm a great fan. The story line lacked of... depth... I don't know if that's what you would call it. But there were all these extra story lines that had no bearing on anything. There really were no twists or turns in the plot to hold my attention... just a long, long movie... seemed like to me. But I was probably drunk or something ridiculous like that at the time... so you never can be too sure. There were some pretty cool battle scenes and whatnot, but even then, I just imagined Maximus Arelious in some arena fighting some dude with a lion. I don't know... maybe it's just me.

My beloved brother is attempting to hook me up with some girl that he doesn't know... I think... For some reason I doubt his ability to play matchmaker... But most likely I think he's probably trying to make me look like an idiot... I mean... that's what I would do if I was him. Sounds like fine silk and hors'deuvres for the rest of us.

"You can get anything you want at Allison's Resturaunt... [something... something] around the back, 1/2 a mile from the railroad tracks..." Amen.

MATRIX REVOLUTIONS!
Provo, Ut. A powerful array of lights, mech warriors, and bullets. All shimmery and shinny with Wyld Stallions guitarist Neo to boot.
It's not that I thought the movie sucked... It just wasn't a Matrix movie. Me and my roommates came to the conclusion that they should come out and make an official statement saying that the movie released wasn't actually Matrix:Revolutions... that it was all a big scam, and then come out with a new movie. Because the movie itself wasn't exactly... bad. It had lots of good action... yada yada yada. But I think it would do better with the title "Machines vs Humans," or "MechWarrior," or "Kick A*^ 4: Return to the Underground." The movie felt like it was an entirely different movie from the others. Like it had a different writter, producer, and director. It didn't answer any of the question that arose during the 2nd movie. In fact, it left me even more confused. After the 2nd movie I was able to think of two logical solutions that could possible explain everything. The first was the matrix inside a matrix thing... and the 2nd was that Neo had supernatural powers in the real world (which sucks and throws out most of the reason why the movies are so cool in the first place). Bill S. Preston Esquire is not Jesus. And what was up with the boss machine dude at the end? "It's so beautiful... All the lights"??? And Trinity giving a 20 minute discourse with 7 sharp tubes going through her torso. My only hope not to ruin the other 2 movies is to continue to believe that it is still a matrix inside a matrix and just nobody knows about it. Lets hope that it is enough... Selah.
