Jessica

First things first. Episode 3 was utterly amazing. My favorite movie ever. Since I hate spoilers I won't ruin it for anyone else by giving any details. All I have to say is watch it in the theatre, don't wait for the DVD. I hope Mur is somehow mistaken (Lucas throwing ppl off the scent to disguise his true intentions, or maybe having a change of heart at some point down the road) and makes more Star Wars movies. I don't know how I'd feel about made for TV SW projects. Thoughts of those silly Ewok movies/cartoons dance in my head. Even thou I love how Battlestar Galactica has played out on TV I don't think I'd want SW to go there.

Second things second. I'd like to introduce you to Jessica, my new mistress. Mistress because all my future gf's and wives will have to share me with one other. She's a Nissan 350 Z. Silverstone with Burnt Orange leather interior. In a word; so damn sexy.

Third things third. I think the fabu photo shoot everyone is talking about went a long way to getting us ready for the show. I don't think it's a coincidence that we had an awesome practice yesterday. It's been a long while since we've all been together and just had fun. With everyone's divergent lives it was a good unifying activity. I've seen personally worried because the run thru's have lacked a certain intensity and energy. Yesterday all of that seemed to change. It wasn't technically perfect or anything close to perfection, but the level of performance was noticeably improved. Hopefully we're on pace to peak in two weeks. We'll see, but I'm now a little more confident.

That's all for now folks. Smell ya later. Rhoel.

Just like Christmas eve

Tomorrow is the day I find if what is seeming sweet will convert to bitter gall. Exiting as that is I'm trying not to think of that right now.

Every since I can remember I've been a Star Wars fan. I was 6 years old when I saw the first movie. I only saw it once but instantly I was a huge fan, even thou admittedly I couldn't remember anything of the actual movie. From the age of 6 I started collecting the toys and eventually got into buying two of each toy, one I'd play with, the other I'd leave in the package. I did this till one Christmas my mom sent all my toys to the Philippines with the intention of replacing them later (because they were packaged she thought them new and current) not knowing they were irreplaceable. I think I collected the toys till I was like 15-16.

I remember seeing Empire when I was about 10. It was my best friends b-day and we went to the theatre and got to vote which movies we got to watch. I figure one of the two had to be Star Wars so I wasn't too worried. Son of a...Empire only got one vote! We watched Caddy Shack and something else. At one point I left to take a peek at Star Wars and came in on the lightsabre meets the Ton Ton scene. I was soo amazed. I didn't know that kangaroos could be ridden. After explaing to the others what I had saw in the other theatre they all got up to take a look. It wasn't till Caddy shack was over did I realize that they all didn't come back. Mofo's watched SW and didn't bother to fetch me. Mofo's!!!! I went home so pissed off that my mom took the whole fam to see it the next day. I cried at the end when I thought Han Solo was dead. My mom tried to explain to me that he was sorta sleeping indefinitely, "He's dead!!! Bwahhhhh!"

When I watched Return, my brother took me. We took the bus to Granville street and stood in line all day. From the line up I saw some guy get beat down by three other guys. I saw a guy on a bike get hit by a bus. It was funny because the guy didn't get hurt but the cops questioned him for like two hours on how one could be so stupid as to be hit by a bus moving 1 kph. I can't believe it, we got the last tickets of the last showing, we came into the theatre and the movie had already started. The movie ended at like 2am and we had to call our dad to pick us up from dt. He was pissed.

Phantom was the best episode so far. Empire was the best of the original series but Phantom was just insane. Lucuas comes up with the coolest bad guys. Vader was the original baddy, then Boba Fett, then finally Darth Maul. OMG, how cool was that guy? The only thing of significance that I remember watching that movie was me, my bro and Coy jumping up and down yelling during the final fight scene between Qui-gon, Obi and Maul.

Clone Wars was a movie I originally didn't really care for originally. Anakin grew up into a whinny biatch, Padime fell for a whinny biatch and Obi,supposedly the greatest Jedi ever, went out like a chump. The more I watch this movie the more I appreciate it. IMO More than any of the other movies the storey line was the star. This was the story that had to be told to set up not only Episode 3, but the original 3 movies. I'm glad we finally got to see Yoda kick some booty.

Today I will be watching Episode 3. Revenge of the Sith. I fricken can't wait. And tomorrow...I can't wait for that either. Good news or bad, lets put that sucker to bed.

So close I can taste it

I never talk about a deal until it's complete. I try to stay unemotional and logical especially if there's a lot of money involved. But it's been such a long time since I've been this exited about something, so much so in fact that I really want to talk about it even thou there's a good chance I may not get it. So if I'm just gonna ramble and if I accidentally talk about it I promise to be very vague.

Man last weekend almost sucked. First off thanks to everyone that wished me a happy birthday, normally I'd think that that sort of thing is kinda like a formality (well it usually is for me) but it's surprising how good it makes one feel. Back to last weekend. Well first of all having to drive to Edmonton on ones birthday really sucks. But ya gotta do what you gotta do. Thankfully I was able to avert that chore the morning of ma party. It's too bad that this Edmonton trip was hanging over my head all week because it would have been nice if I planned my weekend a little better.

Damn, I gotta go. Anyways at least I didn't talk about my thing. Well in a few days I'll know if it's a go or if it's a no go. So my next blog entry I'll either be ecstatic or really disappointed.

Rhoel.

Reading over what I just wrote, I feel the need to mention that it's not a house or condo or anything like that.

Time time time, see whats become of us...

I just noticed that it's been over a year since I started my blog. Quickly looking back on the past 12 months I've been on two tours, prepared for another big show, been in one relationship of note, almost moved to Edmonton, almost moved to Calgary, witnessed the Canadian Idol first hand...and that's all I really looked over 'cause there have been alot of blog entries.

I knew that I'd like this blogger thing and there was never any doubt that I'd keep on it. Looking back on my old entries I'm very greatful that this is acting like a running commentary on my life of which I can go back and rememeber and re live. Like chapters in a book still being written. I think on my very first entry I likened my blog as a very bad novel of which I am the writter and main character. Looks like things are unfolding as expected. I can't wait till I can go back a few years. Rhoel.
