Ok, first off...

"If you would like to make a call, please hang up and try again. If you need helpd, hang up and then dial your operator."

This makes no sense. How can I hang up and dial the operator. I just hung up!

Anyway, I will not be blogging here anymore. I know you are upset (and by you I mean you, that one person who reads this), but this is life: change.

As a matter of fact... Big Fat Tiger Home is going down for a while... sorry peeps, I mean, peep.

4 Superman Movies!!!!!
Mood:  not sure
Topic: Normal
Did you know that there are four original Superman movies? I didn't. I thought there were 2 maybe 3, but I definitely didn't think there were four. Shows how much I know about Superman.

The reason I bring this up would be the new Superman movie. I figured that I would go back and watch all of the other Superman movies in order to get where I'm supposed to be before watching the new one. The new movie is supposed to continue from the last movie (number four). So I am going to watch the original ones first.

But will it be worth it? I personally liked the first Batman movie, directed by Tim Burton. Batman Returns was pretty good too. The others were just short of ridiculous. Then a new Batman movie was made. This movie, Batman: Begins, was stupid. I did not like the characters, I did not like that guy playing Bruce Wayne, I didn't like Alfred, and I really didn't like that they went all the way back to the beginning. Everyone knows about Batman, and if there are kids who don't know, then let them watch the original movie or the animated series.

I thought the animated series was the best version of Batman, ever. This may be why I did not like the newer movie. However, while I liked the animated Superman series (later becoming The Batman-Superman Adventures and then the Justice League) I liked the Clark character from the Superman movies much better. Then again, who didn't like Dean Cain as Superman in the Adventures of Lois and Clark? Lets just hope this new guy can live up to Christopher Reeves' performance and do a lot better job than the guy from Smallville.

Just some things

Topic: Normal
Over the years I have compiled a list of quotes that I have said. These quotes are original, and I made them up. Should any of these quotes resemble a quote, saying, proverb, anecdote, etc. by another person, it is merely coincidence.

----------------------------------------------------

I imagine it would be a dreadful thing to know everything. Who would want to talk to you when you already knew about that and every other subject?

I would not trust a magician to run the government. Not that he would use magic to manipulate the government, but in times of crisis he may just disappear.

No one can see the big picture when they are in it.

Like a painting, we are the details that God works on all our lives. Because we are part of the painting we will never understand the other details around us. But the big picture is a masterpiece.

Listening is the key to the door that opportunity likes to knock on.

"Nevers" never goes away

You can't create something to get recognition. You must create to show the real you.

The only thing you can expect is disappointment.

Wishes are something a cartoon makes.

Feelings drive emotions.

Bombs don't just blow up.

Nothing has power unless you believe it does

If you learn nothing else from your mistakes, learn that you will make mistakes.

Some say asking for help is a sign of weakness, but I say admitting you need help is a sign of strength.

Hatred is not real. It is simply the lack of love.

I find it to be quite fun talking with myself. Not only am I certain I understand what I am talking about, but I also know that I agree with everything I am saying.

If you are never wrong, then the only possible alternative is that the other 3 billion people in the world are.

There is always somebody going against the grain, and they are the ones we remember, the rest just looks like smooth wood

It's just like a scientist to give a definite answer to an unsolvable question.

It's never good to run away from your problems, but sometimes you need to get some distance from them to see them better. Then you can find a solution.

Pain is the result of working your muscles and bones to the extent of their capability causing harm to the body, and when you fail, the spirit.

Life is a lot like running: If you keep looking at where you've been and not at where you're going, you're bound to run into something.

When you get right down to it, a lot of sayings sound good but make no sense.

Sayings don't mean anything unless it directly relates to some aspect of the listeners life.

Science is the art of producing a theory that people will be astounded by.

Don’t complain about others unless they can’t complain about you.

Those who cheat get somewhere faster…
…those who work hard, get there smarter.

Success comes after the right choice

There is no real difference between fantasy and science fiction, except that in science fiction the hobbits and fairies have blaster rifles instead of swords.

Plan for the future, live for the moment.

Put the past behind you but bring it's lessons with you.

Movie Magic
Topic: Normal
OK, I can understand how movie makers can make billion-year-old, dead dinosaurs come to life on the big screen. As a matter of fact, I have made a few movies myself. You can check them out at MSHV.

Anyway, one thing I can't understand is how the characters in a movie cannot see something that would be physically right in front of their eyes until they get right next to it. The characters in a movie can walk right toward a giant monster in an open field but they won't acknowledge it's existence until they are three feet from it. Then they are finally like "holy crap, a giant monster!"

How is that?

Then, in the same movie, a character might be able to spot someone very far away. They see a spec on the horizon and all of a sudden "holy crap, they're alive!"

It's crazy.

I mean, it would make sense in an animated movie cause the monster wouldn't be drawn yet. But in a live action movie something like a half torn down house is right there. It's right frickin there! Why can't they see it!!

Buy and Return
Mood:  silly
Topic: Normal

If you don't have much money but would like a cheep thrill (sort of) then go to the nearest store.

Find a place like a Target or a Walmart. Pick a store that will give you cash back for a return.

Buy something like a radio or some other electronic device that costs a bit of money. Make sure it's a device that you really don't need or don't really want.

Make sure you pay with cash.

Take it home, open it up, listen to it or use it for a while.

After a day or two take it back and return it.

Are you ready for this...

When they refund you your money you will now have a bunch of money in your packet. It is actually a rather neat feeling. No you cannot get the same feeling by going to the bank. This is totaly different for some reason. It's great.

So I dare you to do it. I dare you. I so dare you. I so so dare you to do it. Do it, I dare you.

Lifeguard Trainer
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: I'm gonna be a Lifeguard Trainer
Topic: Normal
Well, just 2 more days to go and I will be a certified American Red Cross Lifeguard Instructor. I am so happy. Yet I am also a little concerned. I had to take the LGI class in another Red Cross Chapter because my chapter doesn't have anyone who can teach me so I can teach Lifeguarding. So, over there, they have rules set out and speak about certain rules and regulations as if they are obvious. Where I work, certain rules and regulations are not set up.

Like this thing called an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). Neither of the pools I work at had EAPs until last year, when I wrote one up for one of my pools. The equipment we have is horrible, the rules are not written down anywhere for reference, and no one knows what to do in the case of an emergency. Its horrible.

So now that I know more about safety and emergency preparedness, I feel an obligation to make sure that the pools I work at get their act together. If they refuse to get stuff working, I will have to quit. If I am working there and something happens, and we get sued, I could be sued because I knew about the problems but chose to work there even though the problems exist. But I don't want to quit.

So you see my dilemma.

And that is the problem of the day... for Big that is. See you all next time when we discuss more things that don't matter to you, but are my life.

Big, out.

6 in a row
Mood:  lucky
Now Playing: I just won 6 solitare games in a row!
Topic: Normal

Ok, this may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but then again, some of the things I write may not be a big deal to anyone else either. So who cares. I just won 6 solitare games in a row. This is neat to me, so just be happy for me (nod and say "that's nice").

I had begun my nightly game of solitare (played to strengthen my mind, not for lack of no life) and I first noticed that I had won the first deal that was presented to me. As I played along, I won the second game and was a little excited at the fact that I had won two games in a row. Shoving it off as mere luck, I played another game (I either play till I lose [which normally happens quickly] or I play until I've won a game or two). I also won that game, and spread the word around of my achievement. (Yes, I do realize you can see where this is going) I got something to drink and proceeded to see what would happen if I continued, cautioning myself to not get cocky. As I played this deal I realized soon that I would have four wins behind me. "see what happens when you don't get cocky and full of yourself, and actually still concentrate and play the game," I thought to myself. This proved useful as I played through the fifth game. I was going along as smoothly as any other deal I had played before when I got into a pickle. I did not have anywhere to move anything, except for the four discard piles, but moving up there what I had on the field would not prove useful. So I moved a couple cards from the discard piles, to the discard piles and then the key card revealed itself. The game, after that, was over quickly.
Number 5! I ran to tell my brother. He was unamused because I only draw one card from the deck at a time, instead of the usual three. Hey! If they didn't want people to be able to draw only one card, the program would not have that option. Oh, by the way, I was playing the solitare that comes with Windows. Proof that I did not cheat (unless you count the one card draw as cheating).
So I am now repeating to my self not to get cocky, and instead of relying on "bad luck, good luck," I started to remind myself of what I learned in Statistics class. The laws of chance and probability. If you flip a coin 100 times and it lands on heads 68% of the time, you do not have a 68% chance of getting heads on the 101st flip. There is only two options, and on a normal coin there are only two sides (the coin having a similar weight on both side of the coin). You will either get heads or tails on a single flip. That's only a 50% chance of getting heads. So the number of heads before the 101st flip does not help determine the chance of getting heads on the 101st flip. Likewise, the number of times I won Solitare before does not determine my chance of winning the next game I play. It is simply my stats of how many games I have won versus how many games I have lost, up to that point in time. Well, book smarts don't help at all, because I lost the seventh game.
And, oh ya, I won the Sixth, but lost the seventh. You gotta admit, that's pretty neat. I won six games in a row. Six. Well, I thought it was neat.
So basically, don't get cocky about things, and pay attention in school, because I must haved missed something in stats class. That only makes sense, since I was winning until I thought about statistics. So school is useful if you pay attention, and if you (ya, you sitting there stareing at the screen) don't pay attention in school, then maybe you should cause you wouldn't lose at solitare.

Big, out.

Update
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: Just to let you know...
Topic: Normal
Just to let you know, most of the things I write here are really what I think. Likewise, some things I write here may not make any sense at all. The ones that sound kinda funny are most likely the ones that I do not mean, for real.

So this is suppose to be an update, ok, here's and update in my life, which you really don't care about, I know. But that's too bad.

So my brother broke up with his girlfriend. She kissed another guy or something... So anyway, he says he does not want to get back togerther with her. However, they still see each other more than I see my own feet (no I'm not fat, I just don't look at my feet all that often). So what's up with that? They are broken up, but they still hang out and call each other like they did when they were going out. Needless to say, I am confused; not to mention bored, but that's another story for another time.

So there's my complaint for the day. See ya next time. Well actually I won't see you, but you know what I mean.

P.S. - thanks to those who read my blog.

Day One

Topic: Normal
This is the Beggining of the Big Blog. That means that I will start here and go forward into the one's and zero's that is the internet. Yay me.

Expect to see many philisophical things here (who puts "philisophcal" and "things" right next to each other), as well as some of the most interrupting, and annoying blabbering the whole world has seen. Nothing here will get to the point in any sort of quick manner. Except for the things that do. Duh, huh?

So thanks for reading, and sorry too, in a way, that if you do find this interesting you have to listen to me blab alot in the middle of the points I will try to be making.

Anywho, l8r.
