Today, I salute a great American. Happy Birthday,
Tom Selleck
It's crazy that Magnum is 64. Insane. I still watch Magnum, P.I. on a semi-monthly basis. My brain can't take too much mustache.
I am not very happy that Matthew McConaghuey is going to play Magnum in a possible remake..but then again, who could possibly replace Tom Selleck? I hope that the movie is not made, because it won't be made the same..Hollywood will completely fuck it up.

Last night I finished The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. It was a good read. The guy knows how to write a masterpiece.
Gabby moves to Beaufort, NC to be near her boyfriend, Kevin. Soon, she realizes her dog, Molly, is most likely pregnant. Gabby thinks her neighbor's dog is to blame and, one night, she decides to confront the neighbor.
Travis is a single man living next door to Gabby. He and his dog, Moby, enjoy the weekends with Travis's friends and family, relaxing to loud music, and cruising around the lake.
Gabby "talks" to Travis, and through other choice meetings, they become friends. One thing leads to another, and Gabby has to make The Choice.
Sparks keeps you guessing throughout the book. The beginning is slightly slow to move, but as it with most of his books. He combines the scenery of North Carolina with a love story that we all envy. Alas, it is only a book.
It gets 4 1/2 stars from me. I couldn't put it down.
Hey Congres..WHAT THE FUCK?
How long did it take the TV companies/stations to prepare for this digital switch? Probably longer than your fat asses have been sitting in that chair. So why are you delaying them anymore? Give people their fucking coupons, let them use expired coupons..something. This is completely ridiculous. And I know that delaying it until June, that the same thing is going to happen. People are still going to bitch about not being ready. That is their problem. We've heard about this switch for years.
Usually whenever my parents saw I had bad grades, we'd have a little argument. It never turned physical..and why should it?
Lewin C. Powell III admitted in court he killed his mother over his grades. He beat his mother to death with a baseball bat and beat his father enough to fracture his skull twice. His father survived. Powell is 16. He and his attorneys agreed to a first-degree murder guilty plea, and the prosecutors dropped the attempted murder on his father and other charges. According to his attorneys, Powell has had lifetime problems and should spend his life sentence at a maximum-security psychiatric facility. All because "he just snapped that day." He wasn't abused by his parents, apparently.
Maybe he should go to a psychiatric facility. But some prison time would do him some good. He took a human life. Over bad grades. And brutally attacked his father. Over bad grades. Is that what society is raising our youth to do?
