PARTY PLANNING COMMITTEE

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN WHERE IM IN CHARGE OF MY WORKS CHRISTMAS PARTY FESTIVITIES. I PLAN THE GAMES AND ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE NIGHT AS WELL AS THE GIFTS AND PRIZES. I AM THE ENTIRE PARTY PLANNING COMMITTEE AND THE SOCIAL COORDINATOR AS WELL LOL. THIS WILL BE MY 5TH YEAR DOING THIS AND MAN... IT DOES NOT GET ANY EASIER... MAINLY BECAUSE IM RUNNING OUT OF GAMES. EACH YEAR I TRY TO PLAN NEW GAMES TO PLAY AND THINGS TO DO. EVERY YEAR I ASK PEOPLE TO GIVE ME IDEAS... AND NO ONE EVER DOES. DONT ANYONE DARE THINK ITS EASY!!! THE GAMES HAVE TO BE FAIR FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYONE HAS TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IT. I GOT IN CRAP ONE YEAR FOR MAKING A GAME THAT WOULD BE EASIER FOR MORE WESTERNIZED PEOPLE, WHICH IT WASNT. EITHER WAY, IVE GONE THROUGH SO MANY GAMES THAT I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE COULD BE PLAYED. IVE HAD TO RECYCLE A GAME OR TWO OVER THE YEARS JUST TO FILL IN TIME LOL. THE ISSUE IS IF I DONT DO IT, THEN NO ONE WILL, AND THEN THE DINNER WILL BE JUST THAT, A DINNER. THIS WAY IT GETS EVERYONE INVOLVED AND RELAXED A LITTLE. SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO ENJOY MYSELF, BUT IM SUCH A GOOD PLANNER THAT I HAVE TO DO IT EACH YEAR. I ENJOY DOING THIS BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WOULDNT MIND SITTING BACK AND JUST ENJOYING MYSELF TOO. I CANT SAY MUCH ABOUT THE PARTY ON HERE RIGHT NOW, JUST IN CASE MY COWORKERS COME ON AND SEE THIS. HOWEVER, I WILL SAY, THAT THIS WILL BE THE BEST PARTY IN THE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY!!! THIS IS ALL GOING DOWN ON FRIDAY, SO I WILL UPDATE YOU ALL NEXT WEEK AS TO HOW IT WENT. ITS GOING TO GO GREAT! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

HMMM THATS WEIRD... USUALLY EACH POST GETS A FEW HUNDRED VIEWS BUT RECENTLY THE POSTS ARE ONLY SHOWING A COUPLE OF DOZEN VIEWS. WHATS GOING ON WITH THAT? OH GREAT... NOW I FORGOT WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO SAY... OOPS LOL

THE NEXT POST WILL BE AFTER CHRISTMAS, SO FROM EVERYONE HERE AT RICKYS RANDOMNESS, WE WISH YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

12 STRONG

SO WHERE WERE YOU WHEN 9/11 HIT? DO YOU REMEMBER? I WAS LITERALLY AT HOME EATING BREAKFAST BEFORE GOING TO SCHOOL WHEN MY MOM SAID COME TO THE TV SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. WE ARE 3 HOURS BEHIND NEW YORK SO WHEN THE FIRST PLANE HIT AT 8:45AM, IT WAS 5:45AM HERE. AROUND 6:00AM HERE WAS WHEN THE SECOND PLANE HIT. IM NOT QUITE SURE WHY I WAS UP SO EARLY, BUT I THINK MY MOM TOLD ME TO WAKE UP. ANYWAYS WE BOTH WATCHED AS BOTH TOWERS CAME DOWN SHORTLY AFTER AND THEN I WENT TO SCHOOL. WHEN I GOT THERE, THE SCHOOL WAS PRETTY EMPTY... I THINK IT WAS SCIENCE CLASS OR SOMETHING WHERE ONLY ABOUT 1/3 OF THE CLASS SHOWED UP. I GUESS EVERYONE JUST DIDNT SHOW OR WAS AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN NEXT. I THINK WE CARRIED ON THE DAY OR THE DAY ENDED EARLY. ITS HARD TO REMEMBER RIGHT NOW. I THINK IT ENDED UP BEING A HALF DAY. THINKING BACK IM PRETTY SURE IT WAS. I REMEMBER HEARING THE PRINCIPAL GO ON THE PA SYSTEM AND SAY SOMETHING AND THEN WE BASICALLY ENDED THE DAY MIDWAY THROUGH 2ND BLOCK. AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

NOW THE MOVIE 12 STRONG COMES OUT AND IS BASED ON THE TRUE STORY OF THE 12 FIRST RESPONDERS TO THE ATTACK. THE MOVIE HAD REAL NEWS REEL OF THE EVENT BACK THEN IN IT, AND MADE THE MOVIE MORE AUTHENTIC. THE MOVIE STARS CHRIS HEMSWORTH AS A NEW CAPTAIN WITH NO COMBAT EXPERIENCE TASKED TO INFILTRATE AND HELP TAKE OUT THE TERRORISTS/TALIBAN, MICHAEL PENA AS A SOLDIER AND PLAYS THE SAME TYPE OF CHARACTER AS USUAL, MICHAEL SHANNON AS A SEASONED OPERATOR, ROB RIGGLE AS A LT COLONEL AND CHRIS CO, AND WILLIAM FICHTNER AS THE COLONEL AND CO OF THE FOB. ITS WEIRD SEEING ROB IN COMMAND WHEN HE USUALLY PLAYS THE GOOF OR A VARIATION OF FUNNY AND IDIOT. WILLIAM I CAN SEE IN COMMAND, HOWEVER WHY IS HE BALD... THATS MY QUESTION. ANYWAYS THERES ALSO A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE BUT I DONT REALLY KNOW THEM SO THEY ARENT HERE. SO THEY MAKE IT IN TO AFGHANISTAN AND THEN PROCEEDS TO SHOOT STUFF UP. TONS AND TONS OF ACTION, AND LOTS OF REBELS/TERRORISTS DIE, BUT NOT ONE SPECIAL FORCES OPERATOR. THE MOVIE SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP AND FRIENDSHIP THAT WAS BUILT BETWEEN CHRIS AND THE GENERAL OF THE REBELS FIGHTERS. WORKING WITH EACH OTHER THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE OVER A KEY CITY AND DRIVE THE TALIBAN OUT. I GUESS HAVING AIR STRIKES HELPED A BIT AS WELL. THE MOVIE IS OVER 2 HOURS LONG AND IT DIDNT HAVE TOO MANY SLOW PARTS. OVERALL IT WAS A PRETTY ACTION PACKED MOVIE. LOTS OF SHOOTING, LOTS OF KILLING, AND LOTS OF BLOWING SHIT UP. SOME REALISTIC SCENES AND SOME UNREALISTIC... AND SOME JUST OVER THE TOP THAT MAKE YOU LAUGH. THEN AGAIN THERE WERE PARTS THAT ONLY THE GF AND MYSELF LAUGHED AND THE WHOLE THEATRE WAS SILENT LOL. WE HAVE A DIFFERENT SENSE OF HUMOUR I GUESS YOU CAN SAY... LOL. ANYWAYS IT WAS AN ENJOYABLE MOVIE AND GIVES EVERYONE MORE INSIGHT INTO WHAT HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER THE 9/11 ATTACKS. THIS IS ALSO A TOTAL PATRIOT HURRAH MURICA YEEHAW PEW PEW MOVIE. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, JUST SAYING. OH AND THEY ALSO RIDE HORSES INTO BATTLE, SO THAT WAS FUNNY. I GIVE THIS MOVIE A 7.5-8/10 DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU STAND ON THE WHOLE WAR THING.

TODAY WAS BUILDEX, BASICALLY A BIG CONVENTION FOR BUILDING/BUILDERS/CONTRACTORS/BUSINESSES/MANAGEMENT/DESIGN. OUR COMPANY GOES EVERY YEAR TO CHECK OUT THE BOOTHS, MEET PEOPLE, TALK AND NETWORK WITH PEOPLE, AND IM MOSTLY THERE FOR THE FREE SWAG AND LUCKY DRAWS. SCORED QUITE A LOT OF STUFF AND ENTERED A TON OF DRAWS. LETS HOPE I WIN SOMETHING, SINCE THE PRIZES ARE PRETTY GOOD AS WELL.

IT ALSO HAPPENS TO BE VALENTINES DAY TODAY, SO WENT TO DINNER WITH THE GF. GOT HER FAVE KOREAN FOOD, AND THEN WE ATE TOO MUCH... AS USUAL LOL.

SIDENOTE... IM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING... WONDERING... THINKING... PONDERING... ESTIMATING... CALCULATING... REVIEWING... POSTULATING... IMAGINING... CRUNCHING... DECIDING... IF I SHOULD KEEP THIS BLOG GOING... THIS PAGE IS OVER 6 YEARS OLD... IVE POSTED EVERY WEEK WITHOUT FAIL FOR THE PAST 6+ YEARS... THATS 331 POSTS INCLUDING THIS ONE... IT IS QUITE AN ACHIEVEMENT... BUT SHOULD I KEEP THIS GOING... HOW LONG SHOULD I KEEP THIS GOING FOR... DOES ANYONE EVEN READ ALL THIS OR EVEN READ ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POSTS... WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK... SHOULD I KEEP GOING AND CONTINUE... SHOULD I STOP... SHOULD I GO BACK TO POSTING REAL POSTS... OR KEEP DOING WHAT IM DOING... ALL YOU READERS OUT THERE... LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK... CAUSE I OBVIOUSLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK RIGHT NOW... THANKS.

REVIEW: NOCTURNAL ANIMALS

I SHOULD JUST TURN THIS BLOG INTO A MOVIE REVIEW BLOG... SINCE IT IS LOOKING LIKE THAT ALREADY LOL. IL JUST KEEP IT THE WAY IT IS AND SEE HOW THIS GOES. ANYWAYS SO THIS WEEKS MOVIE IS TOM FORDS THRILLER NOCTURNAL ANIMALS. IT STARS AMY ADAMS, ISLA FISHER, JAKE GYLLENHAAL AND A BUNCH OF OTHERS. HERE COMES THE SPOILERS!!! BASICALLY THERES 3 STORYLINES, 1 IS THE PRESENT, 1 IS THE PAST, AND THE LAST ONE IS THE BOOK THAT IS BROUGHT TO LIFE. THERES ANOTHER SMALL STORYLINE THAT INVOLVES THE HUSBAND OF THE AMY ADAMS BUT THEY NEVER REALLY DID MUCH WITH IT. I DONT KNOW HOW I LIKE AMY AS THE MAIN CHARACTER... THERE SEEMED TO BE SOMETHING OFF ABOUT HER. MAYBE IT WAS THE CHARACTER SHE WAS PLAYING BUT I JUST DIDNT REALLY CARE FOR HER. THE BOOK STORYLINE WAS GOOD. JAKE HAD THE MOST OUT OF THIS MOVIE AS HE WAS IN THE PAST AND IN THE BOOK STORYLINE. HONESTLY I THINK TOM FORD COULD HAVE REALLY JUST MADE A MOVIE OUT OF THE BOOK. THE REST OF THE MOVIE AND THE FLASHBACKS FELT MORE LIKE A FILLER. I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HER READING THE BOOK AND BRINGING THAT PART BACK. IL JUST TELL YOU NOW, IT WAS PRETTY DARK BUT I LIKED IT. IT WORKED AND TOTALLY FELT IT AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS NEXT. AS YOU CAN EXPECT SINCE TOM FORD MADE THIS MOVIE AND DIRECTED IT, THERE WOULD BE SOME COUTURE IN IT, AND THERE WAS. IT WASNT TOO MUCH BUT YOU CAN TOTALLY SEE THE PLUGS INTO THE MOVIE HAHA. THE ENDING THOUGH... I SORT OF EXPECTED THAT KIND OF ENDING. IT JUST SEEMED LIKE THAT WAS WHERE IT WAS GOING. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO END A GOOD 15 MINS BEFORE IT ENDED JUST BY THE SET UP OF THE SCENES. I JUST WANT MORE OF THAT BOOK STORY, THE REST I DONT CARE FOR... THIS WASNT A MOVIE THAT I WOULD HAVE CHOSE TO WATCH, BUT IT WAS REALLY ENJOYABLE. OVERALL, I LIKED IT AND I WOULD GIVE IT A SOLID 7.25/10. THIS WAS MORE OF A REAL REVIEW COMPARED TO SOME OF THE REVIEWS IVE GIVEN LOL.

OH SNOW SNOW SNOW... YOU REALLY SCREWED US. YOURE PRETTY AND ALL BUT WHAT A BITCH TO DEAL WITH... ANYWAYS, WORK IS WORK. BUSY AS USUAL. ITS CHRISTMAS SO THAT MEANS CARDS AND GIFTS AND FOOD.

IM IN CHARGE OF THE COMPANY PARTY FESTIVITIES AND ALL AND MAN DO I HAVE TREAT FOR EVERYONE. LOTS OF GAMES AND LOTS OF PRIZES. I REALLY CANT WAIT. ITS GOING TO BE A GOOD ONE. LETS SEE WHAT ELSE I DID... OH I WENT TO THE CHRISTMAS MAZE WITH SOME FRIENDS AND THE GIRLFRIEND :) YES, YOU HEARD RIGHT. ONCE AGAIN I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND HAHA. ITS BEEN A WHILE AND ITS ALL GOING GOOD AND IM SURE SHES READING THIS RIGHT NOW. SOOOO HI THERE :) THE MAZE WASNT REALLY A MAZE... IT WAS PRETTY COOL I GUESS, BUT WOULDNT GO BACK AGAIN HAHA.
