It's a Movie...Clash of the Titans

I was surprised that I enjoyed this movie so much. I had seen the preview at some point and it just didn't look like a movie that I would enjoy. I typically like greek mythology type movies and shows, but something about the movie just turned me off. I am happy to say that I was wrong and that I was hooked from the beginning to the end.

The movie wasn't to complicated or crazy confusing like some time pieces are for me. At first thought I saw it as strictly a guy type action movie, and don't get me wrong their was a lot of fight scenes and guy stuff going on, but reading in the lines picks up a under tone of self sacrifice and doing what is right not only for yourself but for other. A man willing to avenge his adopted family even against his biological father.

I made the statement to my cousin and sister that I was surprised that the hero character didn't get with the chick in the movie typically that is a guarantee in action movies. But to no avail there is not love scene for our hero which I enjoyed because I think that is overdone. It isn't all surprises or over complicated but I love the fact that the hero was a hero not just in name or words but in actions.

Over all I am so glad that I watched it and gave it a chance. Up until the opening I was sure I was going to be bored out of my mind and not interested. Wrong.

My Goodness I'm Confused

My my my I can't seem to make up my mind. I go from wanting to return it to searching on Amazon for a cover. Bought it by the way and it is f*n cute as heck. I had to literally put away my credit card before I went an spent another $25.00 on ebooks that I might not be able to read if I decide that the Nook isn't for me.

Here's to hoping that I am able to stop my self from purchasing anymore accessories for the Nook that may get its pink slip and returned to the stork I bought it from. I would hate to offend those who are actually bipolar but man I feel like I am on a roller coaster of fudged up mixed and mashed emotions. Yesterday, Happy, happy, joy, joy, all up on the yellow brick road on my way to Emerald City with my peoples, next I am on my way to panic attackville with a side of gloomy. Pick one already, Grrrrrr!

I am hoping that I form a closer bond with the Nook. Part of me sees the benefits, but other times I only see the downs. Whew...I just gotta breathe through these crazy panic attacks. DAMN YOU buyers remorse!

Books - Some say that real life is the only way to go, but I say there ain't nothin' wrong with taken some detours in a fictional world where the good always triumph and love is something that makes you stronger not crazy to the point where you end up on that show snapped...yeah I know some of chicks head'n in that direction. Put the knife down, I ain't got bail money! Thats a whole other story though...

Love, Live, & Laugh...while you read

The start of a rocky relationship

So on July 16, 2010 I took my ass to Barnes and Noble and picked myself up a Nook. I have been thinking about getting an eReader for a while but was so confused as to which one to get with my limited funds. I mean sure it would be great if I had an extra $400.00 just sitting around to spend on something that many would consider a luxury, but I don't.

I went it with my mom, sister, and nephew & spoke to a guy and I bought it. I picked up the Nook with Wi-Fi not the 3G. Like I stated earlier it was rough to collect enough money just to get this one. I was hella excited. When I got home I took it out and I took pics of it in the box. I read the guide, and the 8 page contract of lawyer speak. Plugged it in and then throughly passed the hell out.

Woke up this morning hella excited and I have internet at home but (to be completely honest I am not the most computer savvy person out there) I ended up having to walk on up to my local coffee bean to register the nook using the hotspot their. I was excited and wanted to blog how much I loved it, but my love affair quickly turned sour when....

I had a huge panic attack. I am an avid and self addicted reader. The thought of something happening and my losing my electronic books is a frightening thought. I am primarily a Border's fan but now I have a Barnes and Noble product that will use primarily B & N eBooks.

To be completely honest I will be contemplating returning the Nook and not getting a eReader period. I admit I have some commitment problems. If I can't physically hold the book I'm a little nervous. I was one breath relaying to my sister and cousin that the only things that I can think of happening to my physical books is - God/Universe/Powers that be forbid - a apartment fire, extreme flooding, or another avid reader thief who comes in to steal them.

Imagine spending a couple hundred on books and then all of a sudden that shit is just gone...just thinking about it makes my heart race and my eyes water.

Well for now I still own the nook and have approximately 12 days to return it to B & N. I will continue you to blog on my newest adventure in to the world of BOOKS or rather eBooks and the Nook.

All the best on all your real life adventures and most importantly the literary ones.
