another great movie!

The Brave One    i just finished watchin' this movie with Marsha & Diana   i was surprised at the ending, but definitely liked it   liked the whole movie although it kept me on egg shells...anyways, brb...

ramblin'

so, yesterday i had my "first" guitar lesson again   it's been a couple years since i played   so i'm startin' over with a new instructor and i like  him already   he gave me a little tune to play as a warm up  introduced me to some new notes and started me on the same book i used the last time   i'll see him biweekly which will allow me to practice more and build some confidence  my fingers must get broken in and calloused  but it'll all be worth it   i'm excited   he told me to only practice 20mins a day til my fingers are no longer sensitive   knowing me, i'll do more than that....anyways, i chatted with my oldest niece on myspace last nite   i saw her for the first time in over 20yrs last Christmas   we had a great talk including about her mother, the reason i stayed away so long from them   anyhow, she's doing good as well as her  new daughter, Rylei (above pic)   she looks like her dad   anyways, it'll be great to keep in touch with her now   i'll have to get back and see the family more often, but goodness i also have other places to go   need to win that damn lottery..lol....next weekend i'm headed back up to Tent Rocks   was there a couple years ago   taking the hike group up this time   will take sum more pics again if i can   think i'll do b&w this time   the only hinderance that may come into effect is Madison, Marsha's grandbaby   IF they go, i told Marsha i'd help her with Madison  she's a handfull ...nothin' much else happening...o yes, i get my motorcycle out of the shop next week   it's in for a major tune-up at a major cost because they ran into problems   one of the spark plugs broke inside the head   my guess it's probably an original plug since the bike was made   o well, it'll be in great running shape after this   i may just ride it to Ft Worth, TX in June for my nephew Kaleb's birthday   i'm ready for sum ridin'!   ....well, that's all folks!

more movies..

my road trip has been postponed   i was planning on going to Chaco Canyon and another place near there this weekend but due to the weather i cancelled it   i want to go when it's warm and sunshine preferrably  so instead of the road trip, i did two movies yesterday   i saw Fool's Gold at the theater with Matthew McCaughney(sp?) and Kate Hudson   it was a FUN movie   lots of laughs...then last nite i rented The Bourne Ultimatum  another action packed movie that was enjoyable   i also rented Ghandi which i'll watch a little later today   thought it'd help with the book i'm reading The Ghandi Reader   haven't known much about him except he was a great spiritual leader   i'm enjoying the book   i love some of the things he has said already   look forward to the movie   anyways, i'm feelin' better today since having a rough weekend with the 501 Blues this weekend   just wish the sunshine was out   it's another gray overcast day-yuk!   but Life goes on....

i don't get it...

so, i'm readin' the news headlines tonite    they're goin' to take the Gray Wolf off the endangered species list and then allow people to hunt them   killin' them years ago is why that got put on the endangered list   makes no sense to me....also, i just read the headlines on this one, but  there's pythons in the U.S. now roaming in the wild   although they say they're harmless, don't you think we have enough snakes here already   and besides pythons are huge   i wouldn't want to come across one even if they're harmless   i didn't read the article because i didn't want to know where those snakes have been let loose    do people not have common sense anymore?
