Hi, I have returned

Hi, I have returned to my blog after a good time away. Got very involved with the Facebook world and of course that crazy little Farmville! When I am not on the FB page, I am reading my Nook or going to visit my grandbaby in Maryland. He will be 2 yrs old already in April!!! My has time flown by! Hubby had to have a vein ligation last month. It was fairly simple and done as an outpatient. Being a retired nurse, I did take good care of him! My dog Bandit is doing well and basically, we had a pretty good, healthy year! We had a quiet Christmas and will share New Years with my hubby, son, daughter in law and grandbaby! The only BIG thing that has occurred is the snow which we got here in New Jersey!! It blocked us in and was over 2 feet high. What a storm it was! Worse one I had seen in years! Well, Happy New Year everyone! Will try to get back to writing my stories soon!

BRUNO-------A SICK MOVIE!!!!!!

Went to see Bruno last week with my husband and I only went to see it because the critic on channel 7 said it was very funny. Since I never saw the first one, Borak, I figured we should see this one. Well, this movie was a disgusting, perverted, senseless piece of garbage. The actor should be ashamed of himself and so should the directors. It was very sexual and just plain nasty. If people in this country can actually say they liked it and thought it was so funny, then all I can say is God help this country.
What the heck happened to good decent enjoyable movies???? This movie should have been given an X rating too! When mens private parts and sexual gadgets and simulations of sex are shown on the screen, there should be some kind of X rating. This surely was just one big BOMB!!!!!

A BEAUTIFUL SEND OFF FOR MICHAEL

Today I watched the most moving, beautiful memorial service I have ever witnessed. It was for the King of Pop.Michael Jackson. The music, the words of his friends and family and the pictures were just heart wrenching and very emotional. I personally loved his music. I first saw him and his brothers on the Ed Sullivan show years ago and just followed his music. Every song and dance he performed was unique and very entertaining. When Usher sang his song and then walked down to the casket and put his hand on it, I lost it. I just felt so sad. When Brooke Shields spoke, the same thing, I cried. Al Sharpton, even though I really dont care for him, gave a wonderful eulogy and every word he said was true. Yes, Michael was different. He was not supposed to be like any one else. He had his differences and I dont believe one should ever be put down because of those differences. He was one of the worlds most talented individuals and no one will ever replace him. At the end, his daughter Paris told the world how much she loved her daddy and how she will miss him. That was a perfect ending for a perfect memorial to Michael.
God Bless you Michael and may you Rest in Peace. I will miss you.

DEPP SHINES AGAIN!!!

Went to see Public Enemy starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. Wow, great movie. I personally think Johnny did a wonderful job portraying John Dillenger. Christian Bale was the agent Melvin Pervis who was trying to get him. Depp is an actor who can play any part of any kind of character. He can be very serious, funny, really sexy, anything!!!
He is just an A+++ all around! The movie of course had a lot of gun battles and stuff, all which was a big part of the 1930's. We still have the different mobs and their capos, but you cant compare it to those times of Dillenger, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson. It was very good and held your interest. We all knows what happens at the end, but Paul and I liked it alot! Go see it and enjoy!

TRANSFORMERS!!!!! A REAL THRILL RIDE!

My son and family came to visit this past weekend, so needless to say, I had a wonderful time with them and my grandson! He is growing bigger and bigger. He now weighs 13lbs 2oz. After they left on Sunday, my hubby and I took in the new Transformer movie. It was kind of weird to start, but then got much better! It was non-stop action with these autobots and the special effects were just awesome!. My husband of course drooled over Megan Fox, who is a very beautiful young woman, and Shia was his typical self. It was a good movie if you like robots and things like that. Far fetched but worth it! It made out real good at the box office too!
Looking forward to seeing My Sisters Keeper and Johnny Depp in Public Enemies which is the story of John Dillinger.

A HAPPY DAY // A VERY SAD DAY

Today, June 25th is my sons birthday. He is 29 years old today and is the father of a 2 month old baby boy. It is a happy day for me and the family because I look back at the memories of his birth and remember how he grew up. I think of his first words, his first smile, first step and now think of what a fine young young man and dad he is. Yes, it is a happy day.

In another sense, it is a very sad day, not only for me for the world. The actress Farrah Fawcett, and the POP ICON, Michael Jackson both passed away today. Farrah was 62 and was battling rectal cancer sine 2006. She fought very hard to defeat this dreaded disease, but just couldnt go on any more. She was a beautiful woman and will me sadly missed. She played a great role in Charlies Angels on TV and played some really good parts in movies such as the Burning Bed and Extemities. She was also known for her long, flowing blond tresses which she lost because of the cancer. Farrah is a real Angel now with her wings up in a beautiful place called Heaven. Rest in peace now.

Michael Jackson was 50 yrs old and went into cardiac arrest in LA today. They tried to resusitate him heroicly but for what ever reason, he just couldnt make it. Michael was a POP ICON, one who will go down in history. His musical and dance talents were phenomenal. I remember the first time I saw him and followed him and his music for a very long time. Thriller, Billie Jean, Bad, and many more will go down in history as the best songs ever. He was strange in many ways and was accused of many things such as child molestation. God only knows whether he was guilty or not. He changed his body and his face numerous times and became something that he didnt even know. He became introverted and just very weird, but his music and his MOON WALK, will always be remembered. Rest in Peace Michael,and always know you and your music will always be remembered!

Yes, our lives are and will be always filled with happy days and sad days. We have no control over life and death. That is why it is so very important to cherish each and every day that you breathe. Live life to the fullest and learn to love everything and everyone!!

New Movies! Taking of Pelham 123, The Hangover and The Proposal

Have 3 movie reviews this time! Since Paul and I love the movies so much!! The Taking of Pelham 123, was a great action thriller starring John Travolta and Denzel Washington. It deals with a hijacked subway train with hostages and is a fast, relentless thriller. It is a remake of the 1974 movie with Walter Mathau. If you like action this is a great one not to miss.
Hangover - is a very very funny movie. My husband laughed so hard almost the entire movie. This comedy is about a bunch of friends who go to Vegas for their buddies bachelor party and somehow end up having no memory of the wild night they had. They lose the prospected groom, gain a baby along the way and have a disaster of a time. Acting was good and movie was a true comedy!
The Proposal- This movie stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. It is a cool, classy, romantic comedy and we loved it! Betty White also stars in this film and is her usual funny self even in her 80's.
It is the story of a chief executive who forces her assistant to marry her so she will not be deported to Canada. They travel to Alaska to meet his family and then all the fun starts. It is funny and quite entertaining.
Thats it for the movies for now! Until next time!
