The Mad Bull’s Blog, Version 3

Whats up, my peeps? I have not had much of a weekend so far. Friday I went to work at the normal time but I didn’t leave until about 10:30 PM! Saturday, I had to go in at 11:00 AM and I didn’t leave until 8:30 PM. We have been putting a new software module into production, and at the same time running our usual end of month run. Busy, busy, busy!

The fact that I have been working so hard makes today stressful, because I want to enjoy today to the fullest and so I am racking my brains to come up with the best things to do. So far I have upgraded my site to Wordpress Version 2.3, I have upgraded one of my plugins, I have changed my Wordpress Theme to “Blueblog“, and now I am writing a post. Later, I will have to have some “outside” fun! The beach sounds good right now, we’ll see…

Anyway, at least I will get back the time. Since I don’t get overtime, thats the way I get paid back. I can get the time back when I want it, so now I have a decision to make. When exactly will it be most advantageous to take off a couple of days. Right now I am thinking of Friday coming for the first day. Can anyone say “Long weekend!”

But how best to spend that long weekend? I know, I think I will visit whichever of my family members sends me a ticket, whether that be Mamacita or Seven, Piet or Ciya! Brother and sisters, Mom, are you listening?! Its going to be like a competition too! You all can race to see who can get their ticket to me fastest! In the event that the tickets all arrive near the same time, then you can make your offer more attractive by offering me spending money! WAIT!

That was a brilliant idea! You know what, the spending money has to be a part of your offer! You’ll have to choose some other way to sweeten the pot if the tickets all arrive at the same time. So y’all, get right on it! You know you want me to come visit you! The clock has started, the competition has begun! You can go search up the tickets online starting NOW!

Oh well, I can dream, can’t I? I guess I will just spend the weekend chillin’ right here at my yard!

So, what else do I have to tell you? Well, I watched three movies recently, one is showing now, one is just out on DVD and the other has been around for a bit on DVD. They were pretty good! I took MBJr. to see this movie called “Stardust“. It was a real “magical, mystical, fantasy” type of film, and it was good! It certainly takes your mind off reality for a couple of hours. Really nice little movie, I recommend it, and you don’t have to be a kid to enjoy it! The only thing I didn’t like so much was… click link below to continue reading, folks!

The only thing I didn’t like so much was the little gay undertones with the sky-pirate captain. It didn’t really bother me but I thought to myself, “Do they have to put that sort of stuff into every movie you might carry your kids to?”. This is the first time that MBJr. has picked up on this stuff in a movie, incidentally. There is a cross dressing scene and when he saw that he rolled his eyes and commented that the captain was “wierd!”. Anyway, the movie was thoroughly enjoyable and as I said, I recommend it!

Carice Van Houten - The Black Book

The second movie that I watched was called “Black Book“. This was a story about a jewess and her trials during World War II. Excellent show, though it was all in some foreign language, probably Dutch since the female lead hails from the Netherlands. I had to watch sub titles. Or maybe for some reason my DVD player malfunctioned and instead of watching it in English, I saw the foreign language version or something… don’t let that put you off the movie though, it was excellent. The star, Carice Van Houten, was quite pretty too! You know how I asked the question recently, “Do blondes really have more fun?“, well, she really looked nicer as a blonde, though she was also quite nice to look at as a brunette! It goes both ways though, I have also seen women I prefer as brunettes.

The third movie I saw was Children of Men. This show got an excellent rating on the Rotten Tomatoes website, (click pon de link above to see how much) and a guy I work with told me it was the best movie he had seen all year. It was a good film, but I never really enjoyed it. I don’t know if I was dense or what, but too many things were too vague… what were the terrorists fighting for, really? Who were the people behind “The Human Project” and what did they really stand for? How did humans come to stop having children? I mean, was it some mental condition, or radiation poisoning or what? Wierd!

Then on top of all that, the film was kind of depressing! Still, it was a good film. Watch it if you want to… if you like films that generally paint grim pictures of the future and ask questions like “Where is the human race heading?”, then you’ll probably like it.

Anyway, thats all for now, folks… Take it easy, and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Huh? Whats that? Oh, you are wondering what the title of the post has to do with the post’s content? Ok. Well, its like this. The Miss Cayman Beauty Pageant finals were held last night. I didn’t go. What? Why are you surprised? I never go to these things! Thats a waste of money! After all, I don’t know any of the ladies, and I can see pretty women right here in my yard, and almost anywhere in Cayman, so why pay 30 bucks to lgo look at eight of them for a couple of hours… plus, I will eventually find out who won anyway, and I will get the pictures and maybe even the video online!

Anyway, I was interested to find out who won, so I went to Z99’s website to listen to the radio to see if they would mention who won. So far they haven’t said a word, but I haven’t changed to a different station because the “Z” has been laying down some nice tracks!

Anyway, when I went to the Z99 Music Player site, the first song I heard was Kanye West’s “Stronger, Better, Faster, Longer!” song. I quite like it. I even like the name of the song, so I lifted it and am using it as the posts’ title. Thats all there is to that. Hey, big up to Kanye West, he sure has kicked Fifty Cent’s butt all over the place, hasn’t he?

Peace and love, enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Wow wow!
