Solid Weekend...

So, this past weekend was quite entertaining to say the least. Saturday, I decided to make the trek to Pickerington to hang out with Amanda and her family for the day. It was basically a night full of competitions, drinking, and frying just about anything we could find (e.g. cookie dough, apples, candy bars, ect...) Unfortunately, I had a poor showing in corn hole (I blame the alcohol), but I made up for that with a decent showing in Wii bowling and spelling bee competition. Who knew "acupuncture" only had one "c" following the "a"? Eh well...in my mind, I am still a gud speller.

Anywho, I got home yesterday (Sunday) and was completely exhausted from the fun filled weekend. Therefore, I didn't really feel like leaving my bed. My Mama had rented "Slumdog Millionaire", so after my little 2 hour nap I decided to watch the flick. I am not gonna lie, despite all of the awards this movie had received, I was a little reluctant to watch it. I just didn't think it would be a movie I would enjoy. Well, as you may have already guessed, I was wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and the thought provoking message of hope that it sent. There are opportunities for ALL individuals despite where they are born and how much money one has. Talent lies where you least expect it. In life, people are going to try and hold you down and keep you from achieving your goals and dreams. With determination, motivation and focus you can overcome these challenges and obstacles in life and love. Slumdog Millionaire was a great movie with a powerful message and I recommend it to anyone who has not yet had the chance to see it.

In other news...Michael Vick is back in business, the Indians are on a 4-game winning streak and Erin Andrews is still HOT!
