peanut butter and jelly and the end of the human race
for some reason i have picked up an addiction for the delicous combinations of pb&j. i like them with a banana and oj in the morning and cheetos in the afternoon. i eat them for snacks every now and then or just for the fun of it when i get the shakes. it's like being a kid again. i even whet to the zoo the other day with nate, lins, and the kids. it was a treat. our zoo is horrible, but for some reason i wanted to just stay all day. then they pretty much had to kick us out. i've watched a couple of new movies. apocalypto, mel gibsons movie about the end of a mayan civialization and why it was driven to extinction caught me by surprise. i think mostly i was so sucked into the movie, and thinking they had destroyed themselves i wasn't expecting the end. my one main complaint is, if you watch the making of the film, they go so big to making it acurate, real sets, makeup, even hand woven outfits for hundreds of extras, but then he throws in lines like, "were f++ked." mayans dropping the f bomb pulled me out of the picture and into my center were i hear kids use it everyday. has the word been around really that long, did mel do extensive research to find the mayan's coined the phrase? if not then i'm sorry but it was enough to make me rant for a while. i know i'm critical about movies, most people think i never enjoy movies, or life, or people, like because i find little things i therefore i must hate it, them, or whatever. i liked this movie, i just could have been more convinced about the historic end to a human race with out the f word screwing it up for me.

dave, i haven't seen it yet, but when i do see it, the same seemingly small thing could destroy the whole for me too.
by the way, my dad always called pb&j "choke and slide"... just think about that next time you are balancing the perfect amount of jelly to compliment your peanut butter :)
