I Believe In Science

Movie Review: Nacho Libre

From the Director of Napoleon Dynamite, Jared Hess drops presents Nacho Libre. This movie stars Jack Black, Ana de la Reguera, & Hector Jimenez and is a hilarious flick about a orphan turned friar who always dreamed of being a luchador (Mexican Wrestler). He recuits Esqueleto (Jimenez), a homeless man who robs anyone on his turf for nachos, and they together take on the many experienced wrestlers in Lucha Libre.
A very entertaining movie with some predictable parts and some wierd twists. The most memorable part in this flick is when Nacho (Black) sings before one of his big matches. Very Tenacious D style.
If you loved Napoleon you'll like Nacho. Peep it. Definate Owner.

Darn Irish

Movie ReviewTristan & Isolde


Starring James Franco (Spider-Man & Annapolis), Sophia Myles (Underworld & Art School Confidential), and Rufus Sewell (Bless The Child, Knight's Tale, & Legend Of Zorro) this movie shows the dark side of the Irish Kingdom after Roman rule.

Not much to say about this flick except the fight scenes were pretty impressive. Other than that the movie was pretty predictable, something I don't like to hear from people, but if it is it is. It wasn't a bad movie, but then again I'm not sure what more could have been done with the story.

Definiately check it out if you are into midevil romance stories. Borderline Owner.

Saw this on DVD so no friend comment, but if you saw it feel free to give a comment.

Zuma Freaks



Awwww man. I'm sure a lot of you heard of this game. It's called ZUMA!!!!!! Man it is extremely addictive. If you like puzzle games like Tetris, Bookworm, & Collapse you will love this one. I had learned during my weekend of seeing my 2nd father that my 3rd sister, Erin is also a lover of games, especially puzzle games.

I got a copy of the game over the weekend and played it on my 2nd Moms computer and got re-hooked. Erin later jumped on and played for a while and she did great for her first try. I'm sure she's playing it as we speak (I left her the 1st copy I baught and purchased another in Texas).

Today my wife tried it out and now she is addicted. Very shocking given she rarely plays games due to her tight schedule. She played for 3 hours today I think. Whoa.

We are taking a break from the game and going to some stores in Frisco & Plano.

Also send your prayers and thoughts to Heather for she is doing better now, but is still not at 100 percent.

Love Ya Girl.

TRY OUT ZUMA........YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

The Future Dynasty Falls

Oh my gosh, our precious Mavericks lost the championship to the Miami Heat. I can understand being a strong a fan, but crying or having a bad day because the team lost that is just ridiculous. Your team and the fans screwed this up by declaring this a new dynasty. They also predict they will sweep the finals after winning 2 straight games at home in the beginning of the playoffs, but uh oh....they lose one in Miami. They brush it of and still felt a dynasty is in the making. Then they lost their second game and they were like oh shoot the series is tied, but still stayed optimistic. They lost the 3rd game in Miami and were all of a sudden behind in the series. The Mavs return to Dallas and they strongly felt they will bounce back and for a while they were doing great, but like in the previous 3 games they dropped the ball and choked for the last time losing the game 95-92 and lost the series to the Heat 4-2.

Man did that game screw up our work flow that night, for we were working an overnight and stayed 2 hours later than predicted, which I did care that it happened. Also hear other fans cry and say things like: "I'm in a bad mood", "I can't work tomorrow", "The officiating was screwed up". No one blames the team and everyone is being freaking babies on this.

Now I am a hard core fan of the Wisconsin teams (Packers, Bucks, Brewers, etc.) even though I live here in Texas, I never reacted like this at all. GET OVER IT!!!!!! The last time I saw this happen was when the Chicago Bears were on the road to the playoffs a few years ago and in the second round of the playoffs they were foolish to play the Bears Super Bowl song from 1985 and they lost the next round. Jinx for real.

I don't know. Just stop crying about this and accept that your team sucks (Just kidding). It's not that horrible. The Mavs did great and got to the Finals.

Congrats to Miami on their first NBA title.

So Hard To Say Goodbye.......

Cuised on up to Minnesota to see my father-in-law, Garth Crouch. Not a very fun drive up (yes I said drive) as we went through some entertaining states (NOT!!!), Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, & Iowa. The trip took 15 hours, wooooo weeee!!!! Man was I warn out. My wife tried to help me out with the drive, but she was too tired from working before we left. We were happy to make it up to St. Charles though and my mother-in-law was very happy to see us.

A few hours after arriving we went to see daddy Crouch at the nursing home and it was a rough time for us. I have seen him in there before during the middle stage of his condition, but in this final stage it was tough. He seemed to be pretty comfortable as they want him to be before he goes. We went back to the house and chilled some more to finish out day one.

Day two started with me, the wife, and mom going up to the Twin Cities to pick up Erin at the airport. It was good to see her. It has been a long time since her wedding. We we back into Rochester and met with Grandma Crouch (Garth's Mother) to have lunch with her. It was nice to see Bernice, too. We ate, had conversation and of course left. We went home watched a few flicks and ended day two.

Day three was short because me, Jen and Naomi for we had to head back, but before we did we went to see Garth to say goodbye for the last time. The first visit, although he was comfortable, he was not very responsive, but the second visit was much better. We played some of his favorite CDs, talked to him and to each other. One of the best things that happened was when I walked and started to talk to him. His eyes were closed, but she slowly opened them. Then he slowly gave a smile. I don't know if it was towards me or he just saw a figure in front of him, but it made my day. We finally said goodbye as he snored away in his bed and headed out.

One thing I wanted to point out before I end his chapter is on Garth roommate. His name was Russell and he has a pretty sweet set up on his side of the room. He has digital cable pumping into a 42" Phillips plasma TV, Cable internet going into his Sony Viao desktop computer, Photo printer and a few accessories. Everytime he had the TV on though he only had it on "The Weather Channel". I have to admit I was pretty impress especially for a man in a nursing home.

Well, it was time to had back to Texas and boy did it suck. Drove through dismal Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Man those states suck it bad. To top it all off we ended getting trapped in rush hour traffic in Denton, TX. We were stuck for almost two hours, but we finally made it home.

It was good to see everyone, but I really don't want to go through that drive again. Ouch Ouch!!!!!

Long Journey Home

Well folks, me, my wife and Naomi (my 2nd sister-in-law) are preparing to trek from Texas to Minnesota to Garth L. Crouch, my father-in-law. Unfortunate circumstances (Don't want to get into it now) have moved us to make this visit, which was long over due. I'm also looking forward to seeing Erin, my 1st of three sister-in-laws (Aleisha's The 3rd), whom I have not seen since her wedding.

As my wife stated in her blog, I would like to thank all of those (near and far), who have given their support in this trying time. This also includes my homies on the D7-Best Buy Project Team and my Boss Man, Jon.

I have a lot of work to do here before we leave tonight. Breaks Over.

Keep us in your prayers as we drive safely to Sota Land.

Later Peeps
