Huzzah for Batmans

If you haven't already seen the BatMans you must stop what your're doing IMMEDIATELY and go watch it. If it's not yet playing, go stand in line to watch it. It's amazing!

In truth I haven't seen it yet myself, but so's not to get too far behind the times, I'm going to write a movie review of it anyways. So here goes.

BatMans is long, 42 hours long. There is lots of action and singing. The BatMans has cooler gadgets but they are all ripped off from other movies. A few of BatMans so called "new" inventions; the "bathroom buddy" (taken from gremlins), the "pincers of peril" and "bully buster" (from Goonies), and how about those "Opti-Grab" glasses that leave the BatMans permanantely cross-eyed (from The Jerk). Ledgers joker is scary, I had to put my bucket of popcorn over my eyes every time he told a funny.

*Spoiler Alert *
Two face only has one face! It's just ugly on one side. This was the real reason I wanted to watch the BatMans and I'm still a little upset. I saw this guy on T.V once that really had two faces. Well it was more like a mouth with teeth growing on the side of his cheek. Weird.

BatMans gets 41/2 stars.

I like movies.

I've blinded you....with Science!

Attention! Attention! I have unraveled a glorious mystery.

As I was sitting at work, thinking about how I should be doing homework, or studying for my CCNA certification, my mind drifted (as it usually does) toward...anything distracting. When I try to study, my mind goes into a pre-programmed protective mode that sends random thoughts of distraction to keep me from learning. It's quite amazing what my mind will do to distract me really. One such distracting thought was my blog. It's been quite a while since my last post. As I looked over my posts I wondered why I'm so horrible at posting -- I want to post and know full well how much my contribution to the blogosphere inspires humanity. "What does it all mean" I said to myself. As I looked deeper and deeper into this enigma, I started to see a pattern so obvious it is embarrassing I hadn't noticed it before.

If you look at the frequency of my posts, they can clearly be described by the following equation.

I have unconsciously been posting using the Golden Ratio!

Adolf Zeising, whose main interests were mathematics and philosophy, found the golden ratio expressed in the arrangement of branches along the stems of plants and of veins in leaves. He extended his research to the skeletons of animals and the branchings of their veins and nerves, to the proportions of chemical compounds and the geometry of crystals, even to the use of proportion in artistic endeavors. In these phenomena he saw the golden ratio operating as a universal law. Zeising wrote in 1854:
[The Golden Ratio is a universal law] in which is contained the ground-principle of all formative striving for beauty and completeness in the realms of both nature and art, and which permeates, as a paramount spiritual ideal, all structures, forms and proportions, whether cosmic or individual, organic or inorganic, acoustic or optical; which finds its fullest realization, however, in the human form.

True that Adolf Zeising! True that'

Mix'n It Up

So my old blog "Tales from the Byrdnest" is now going to be totally devoted to my family and mostly run by Emily (there might actually be regular postings now).

I still wanted a place of my own, a place where I can be me, a place...

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

So the three postings of the same day in March -- that's me moving my crap and making room over at the "other" blog for quality content.

If you want the mind-numbing left over slop content, that'll be waiting for you right here.

I Come From Awesomeness

I come from awesomeness.......see!

I've always had an interest in my family crest. I love seeing the different images my surname brings up.

In the top left image, Cruce Spes Mea translates to "In the cross is my hope". I'm so totally awesome because my crest says that.

I have no clue what is even printed in the picture to the right of it, but I'll give 1000 points to whomever can let me know what it does say. Until then I'll just have to take comfort whatever it says is so insanely awesome the translation to english will melt your brain.

Amongst the wisps of genius that strike me and my bru-ha -- creating a modern family crest using bits and pieces from crests of yore' is one we'd quite like to bring to fruition.

So I was thinking about all that has happened in the last month and thought 'hey, I have a blog, I should post to it'. So I logged on to the old gal' and perceived I am only posting once a month! *Lamesville to me... :(

I am retarded in my blogging capacity. Yes I am active in what I perceive to be more "noble" pursuits like my family, school, work, etc. But I am my own retard none the less. Then I thought to a larger degree, much of you whom will read this blog are retards as well. Yes my own dear family and friends, when I spend time with one of you, your retarding my ability to see my other friends, family, and pursue other activities. I love you all, but you are all so retarded!... with work, with family, personal interests, what have you. Anything you do retards something else. Even as I write this post I am at work, being a retard. I should be doing productive work stuff. And you, you have a million things to do, why are you even reading this post you retard?

I say we make a resolution to undue our "slackening of tempo"...regroup, focus, organize, do! Since everything we do is retarded, the goal has to be getting the biggest "bang for our buck." So next time we hang out, lets not sit around like a couple of retards. Let's spend that "good quality time" you always hear about. Unless Hero's is on T.V. let's turn it off, get rid of all those retarded distractions and make the most of it. Same goes for doing homework, I have to set some rules for myself on how much I play with my kids, those retards! I love them dearly but they are a couple of the biggest retards you'd ever want to meet. Although my wife is quite the retard it's cool, she can be as retarded as she wants and it's fine with me.

Basically, what I'm saying is there is so much life has to offer, lets not let it slip by because we're too retarded to realize what we're missing out on. There's always going to be something retarded we have to engage in, just don't be such a retard about it.

Herrro Blogoshpere! It Is I, Kyle, Embace Me For All I Am!

Ahhh Yes,

I, Kyle, am now amongst the multitude of those so noble and bold as to present their views and opinions for all to judge and molest!

I also have been meaning to keep some sort of journal on and off for about 6 years now. Never happened.

But with adventures of such immense grandeur happening to me daily, I have decided to begin a chronology of these events for posterity and what have you.

While I am a friend of free speech, always glad to meet new people, and hear others points of view. Please keep in mind that this blog is essentially for my family, friends, and kids. So if your a passer by and wish to leave a comment please do so, but keep your posts clean for hecks sake....gosh!
