A very reviewable Christmas
2003-12-27 05:17:40
My parents rented out a beach house on the nearby coast, and DAMN was it a great place to stay at. Four bathrooms, room for ten and a view that could inspire hardcore artists. The living room had a TV, stereo system with a 6-CD player and VCR. I knew I should've brought my PS2 with DDR...
I got somewhat bored so while we went shopping at the nearby store, I stopped by the apartment-sized video store next door and rented Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and Jason Goes To Hell (Friday The 13th Part IX). Nightmare 4 wasn't all that bad (too many retro references), but Jason Goes To Hell is just crap. However, I found four things in it I loved:
1. The scene of the FBI taking on Jason is just too badass. Jason's standing there, while a group of a few dozen soldiers fire bullets at him and eventually drop a bomb(!) on the guy.
2. The line: "In my professional opinion.... this guy's deader than shit."
3. The Necronomicon (The Book of the Dead, from the legendary Evil Dead series) clearly shown and flipped through for a few moments partway through the film. Hopefully makes way for Freddy vs Jason vs Ash in the future.
4. The very brief cameo of Freddy at the very end.
My brother Matthew is easily one of the most interesting people I know. His knowledge of Biblical study and research is vast and astounds me. He told me that the fish that people see on other's cars referring to Christ refers to the era we live in right now. Each 2000 years or so, we enter a new one and exit another. Each era is that of a Zodiac sign. We're exiting the one of Pisces (which explains the fish) and is known as the age of "I Believe" which makes sense, considering all the wars involving religion in the past two milliniums. The next one we're entering is Aquarias (remember the song The Age of Aquarias?), which stands for "I know". I found all that incredibly fascinating and makes me want to look up the remaining and past eras/ages we have left or have gone through.
Christmas Eve will remain my heart forever. Not as a joyful night, but as something very disturbing. People are getting ready for the dinner (cooking and such), and I'm to the side working on a little 50-piece puzzle someone had brought. During so, I slowly began to feel emotional and philosophil (one of those points in time where I become somewhat unstable). Dinner is ready and we all come to the table. We begin saying prayer for the meal and as that happens a tear uncontrollably rolls down my cheek. I'm crying, having a very hard time holding the tears back, and having absolutely no idea as to what's causing me to do this. The confusion of this only adds to my tears and after we stop praying I wipe the tear quickly from my face, not wanting to attract attention or cause a scene over quite literally nothing. I say I have to go to the bathroom and walk over to one, close the door and begin silently letting all my tears go. I'm confused and lost as to why this is being triggered and after a few minutes, realize that everyone at the table might get suspicious if I spend too much time weeping in here. I flush the toilet, look at my red red eyes in the mirror and wipe them to prevent anyone suspecting my odd cry.
Next comes to the part that creeps me out.
The following morning, Christmas Day, my mother informs me that one of my cousins passed away last night. Cousin Nicky, a guitar-playing lovable bear of a person, was blacking out repeatedly at work on his night shift. His co-workers told him he should probably go to the hospital, but he refused and shrugged it off. Afterwards, someone saw that he collapsed onto his desk, and died of a heart attack. I take slight comfort knowing that he didn't suffer really, going while passed out.
There could be a slight connection with my outburst and Cousin Nicky's death, but it doesn't make much sense. We weren't very close, didn't know each other that well. This is the third relative of mine to pass away in that area of the country in the past year, and something about that frightens me but it just doesn't make sense.
And now I shall weep, for you who reads this. -

Gonna ask a girl I know at church out. She's cute, I think she likes me as well, and she's into video games. All that's left is to just get her into anime, and if God willing, AMVs. I can taste the awesomeness of such a relationship now... if she says yes. =
Still need to watch a copy of Millinium Actress I rented, dag nab it. -

Iron Cheffed with AtomX last night. I about put my fist through the monitor when Premiere crashes at first, then got used to it after about the sixth time. Atom still holds the record of having it crash 23 times in two hours. None the less, he won. Congrats and all that swanky jazz. :O

He got 30 seconds done and I got 50. The way I see it, he won because his transistions were better than mine, considering I had almost none. =P
I start my new job at Red Robin today at long last, and I'm getting a little bit of the jitters but I'll get over it, then adapt quickly, hopefully. From what I've heard, it's a great place to work at. High-spirited enviroment and good people to work with. Gotta read the rest of this handbook though...
Grah. Can't complain. oO
