Érase Una Vez En México

I watched Once Upon A Time In Mexico yet again today.

Hollywood movie makers should be held accountable when it comes to casting. There should also be a law which states that every movie has to be passed for production by some kind of medical review board.
The inclusion of Enrique Iglesias and Antonio Banderas in the same movie should never have got past the medical screening. Casting them as Mariachi's strumming out soothing, erotic, guitar music was an even worse decision. Having them accompany the music by singing in Spanish was the final nail in the coffin.

Millions of Women all over the world reaching frantically for the Xanax to calm the onset of anxiety as we stare at the screen, drowning in that olive skin and those gorgeous eyes. The part in the video where he lowers his head slightly and peers out from the top of his eyes just makes me shiver every time. Rewind, play, rewind, play, rewind, play, Where's the Xanax? Oh god, help me!! (It's at 1:40 ladies. I think )

In the same way that web sites can disable right click, youtube should have made viewing of the video below subject to court order and a fee of 1million dollars. They certainly should have disabled the ability to save to favourites.

Right, I'm off for a cold bath and then watch the latest Jason Statham movie. Yeah right, that will work then.

Enjoy

Experiment

So this morning I started my little experiment.

The challenge is to last as long as possible without spending a single penny. I have not stocked my cupboards with groceries, have not filled the car with fuel or anything else in preparation. I have to live on whatever I already have, what I can forage, make, or what people give me.
There is no reason for doing this experiment other than I want to.

Rules

Use of utilities. Gas, Water and Electric are permitted

I can buy dog food because they didn't ask to be part of this stupidity

I cannot put any more fuel in the car. When it runs out, I walk

I can accept gifts from people but am not allowed to ask for them

I am not allowed to tell any friends and family what I am doing in case they try to help
I just finished my morning coffee and am about to take stock of the food supplies that I have and get creative with a menu list.

Put It In Your Diary

"Put October 4th in your diary" he says

"Why"

"iphone5 release" he says

"Why? I don't see the fascination personally"

"Ok look, lets say you are driving down the road and cant find the lawyers office that you are going to. All you have to do is get out your iphone, google his address, put the information into the gps and whammo!! sorted"

"If I don't know where his office is why don't I just call him before I leave home and ask for directions? That way I can find out where to park and make sure that I am there on time"

"Yes but it may be hard to find and that's where the iphone comes into it's own"

"I could wind down the window and ask someone. Do you think that might work?"

"Huh, yeah okay but what if it's raining"

"Good point. Is there an app that will teleport me inside the lawyers office?


Why? Why are people so reliant on stuff like that? What is so difficult in applying a little forethought into our life?
Everyone has gone mad, they are so reliant on other people and technology that their life is no longer their own. There is no wonder that society has lost the skills that we once had. If someone else doesn't do it for us, we are screwed. "Oh hell, now what do I do" and it breeds this I can't, I won't, It's not possible attitude that has caused so much moral apathy.

The friend that I was speaking to in the conversation above has been going on about the release of the iphone 5 for ages now and it seems as though his life is on hold until it is released and when apple finally release it, he will no doubt be stressed because he can't get hold of one quick enough. Needless to say, his iphone 4 will be no use whatsoever and will miraculously cease to work due an outdated app such as the numbers that you have to push to make a call. Suddenly he will have forgotten how to do that and it won't be possible to resume person to person contact until he has the new model with new shiny buttons that double up as some form of aid to cleaning the house and putting his socks in the wash basket.

And if he ever misplaces, loses, or has it stolen....well I am staying away from him until he gets an iphone 6
