send all care packages to Guantanamo Bay!!

Well tonight was my first of 4 fantasy baseball drafts. I think it went good overall. My pitching is sick. I think best in the league. I missed out on Manny which makes me very sad, but I got Teixeira who is no scrub. I love the drafts they are so tense. I sit there and yell at the screen that the guy before me doesn't take my pick. Today I was screaming for Zach Duke. I got him in the 11th round. I passed him up in the 10th, but then I got nervous. So with 5 guys in front of me he was one of the better pitchers left. So I started getting very anxious. I know this is really insane. It is only a game. I have way to much wasted energy. I'm starting to think 4 teams might be a lot to handle. I guess we will see.

I like that we have 2 of the 3 contributors posting. The 3rd one will soon, but she is in the middle of mid terms at college. I can't wait for her to debate the other 2. It should be funny. Speaking of which today we were AIM each other and I was talking about terrorists. So she said you are going to get us both arrested. Then I remembered who our President is and I got really scared. This damn Patriot Act is going to ruin America and all the freedoms that we have enjoyed up until the last few years. So anyways if I disappear and never come back you know where I will be. Guantanamo Bay!! Please send me movies and my IPOD. Do you think they get Netflix there???

Anyways on to movies. I recently made a big change in my life!! HA HA!! I decreased my Netflix from 6 movies to 3 movies. Here is the shocker..... I joined Blockbuster online. I always swore I wouldn't but here is the deal. I now have 3 out at a time with Netflix and 3 out at a time with Blockbuster. Now a laymen would ask why the hell would anyone do that right? Well this is the thing. When you are a heavy user with Netflix or Blockbuster they start to what's called "throttle" people. Which basically mean that they start to not give you first choice on newer movies and they delay your shipping by usually a day. Now to a normal person this might not matter, but to me this is blasphemy. I am considered to them a "heavy" user. So I decided that if I split it up between the two companies I can rent a lot more. Plus Blockbuster now gives once free rental a week at one of their "brick and mortar" locations. So now on top of both services I get an added bonus of 4 more movies. This is key for the few New Releases that I do watch. So now everything is solved. Why I do not like Blockbuster I have found a way around the system. As much as I love Netflix they are still a business and they are just trying to save themselves a couple of bucks on the OCD customers. Which I understand. I will NEVER quit Netflix though because they still have the BEST selection around. One thing I have noticed about Blockbuster is that they don't have a lot of the titles that I can find on Netflix. So they both serve a purpose.

I have watched a lot of movies since last time, but I have to go to bed. I will talk in length about them next time. Before I go though I saw one of the my top ten favorite of 2005. Oldboy. It was amazing. It was VERY weird and had a VERY weird twist at the end. This movie is violent and graphic. Not for everyone, but if you enjoy action, violence, drama, suspense and an original script this movie is for you. Warning: this movie is Korean and it has subtitles. Highly Recommended!!
