The wife and I decided to get out today and catch a film. Both of us wanted to see the Dark Knight as the trailer looked pretty damn cool.

Now, I’m not going to give anything away but I will say 3 things about the film:

• It was a bit longer than I expected, maybe 15-30 minutes longer than it needed to be.
• The movie lives up to the hype. Its worth checking out.
• Heath Ledger is creepy good in this film. I’ve heard people say that the award shows should give him the awards for this film not because he died, but because of how great his performance is. And it is worth the admission, you won’t be disappointed.

Seem like everyone else has checked it out this weekend so you might as well get off your lazy ass and see it as well.

Awesome Video….well done.

Recently, a top Pakistan official has been spouting his mouth off about the US and the hunt for Bin Laden.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Pakistan Official, has the following statement, “there are no U.S. or other foreign military personnel on the hunt for Osama bin Laden in his nation, and none will be allowed in to search for the al-Qaida leader.”

I understand that the Pakistan government believes that they have the ability to catch Bin Laden on their own. But he’s been hiding out there for several years with little to no results so far.

I really wish this was a joke. But unfortunately, it is not. The name of the AHL team in Des Moines Iowa is now called the “Iowa Chops”.

I knew that we were screwed when I heard that the new NHL affiliate was going to be the Anaheim Ducks. Its an NHL team based off a Disney movie. We should have expected the same corny half ass marketing for the AHL club.

Well, its been a few weeks since I posted and that’s for a pretty good reason. I have been taking some R&R in the great country of Germany. My wife and I escourted over her grandparents where we eventually met up with her parents. The total vacation was 12 days, but it seemed like 12 hours. It went by way too damn fast.

I’ll have pictures posted to the flickr account here in the next few days and will begin my semi-regular posting again here shortly.
