I Can't Believe It…

They are making a Transporter 3. I actually liked the first one, but the second one was horrible, and the third looks to be the worst of them all. But that isn’t even the worst part of it. The worst part is, that it looks to be a ripoff of another movie that he did called Crank. In Crank he has to do something to keep him alive, in this movie he has to stay within 75 feet of his car or he’ll explode. Jason Statham is good at choreographed martial arts, I’ll give him that, but seriously he freaking makes some horrible movies. I know this is one movie I will not be going to see in the theaters.

Ashamed to be a White American

Two punks out of Tennessee hatched a plan to not only kill 88 African Americans, to not only decapitate 14 of them, but to also try and kill Obama. It is known that I am not the biggest Obama fan around, but why kill someone for honestly trying to help this country? It shows that white supremacists are still around and that this will be the second of probably many attempts on his life. It is a shame that this is still happening in our country. It is times like these that I am seriously ashamed to be a white American. I am just happy they were caught before their plan could be executed. The FBI saved 89 lives as the way I see it. But still for the time being, I am ashamed to be a White American. I am out of words. I am just in utter disgust right now. I just hope these punks get what is coming to them.

I Thought I Knew, But I Had No Idea!

So I tried to rip off MTV’s line of that old show MTV Diary except putting a personal twist on it. I don’t know if any of you got that. Anyway what I am talking about is who I am going to vote for for President. I have reasearched so much, and I keep going back and forth. First I was going to vote with John McCain, as he is more in line with my values, but over the last few weeks of researching, I really don’t think he is going to be any different than Bush. I actually thought I was going to vote for Obama. Then I realized that he may not be the choice for me either. The problem for me is that I am a registered absantee voter. So I have to vote tonight to make sure the polling place will receive it in time. I feel it is my duty to vote, if things go wrong, then I shouldn’t be allowed to complain. Plus way too many people have died to protect that right. So I am a little frustrated right now and needed a release. Maybe I will just vote for Bob Barr, that way I can say no matter what, that I voted for the other guy. At least I know how I am going to vote on the propositions! This post is fairly pointless so allow me to put something on here that has actual meaning! You all should be registered to vote and then actually vote! Many people have died for that right, and we as a people should be thankful for those sacrifices. Please go out, and decide who YOU want for our next President. There is only 9 days left.

New Design Template

I decided to change the template of Shane Haven once again. I really liked the last template with a minor exception. This exception however, bugged me to no end, so I changed it. When one posts it is customary to have a title. Well the title always made the upper case letters lower. It was a design of that template. It annoyed me. I have spent way too long trying to decide on which template to change it to. I do like the black background with white (or grey) text but there were no other two column templates. Again if they would allow free template changes, I could have manually edited the HTML for that. But instead I am forced to change the template i full. So I went with something cleaner and easy on the eyes. It isn’t AS easay on the eyes as the last one, but I am not annoyed by the lower casing of the title of the posts. Now I will be annoyed by the background being white with black text. I think this template is clean, and simple, so for now, this is it! It isn’t as exciting but it works. At least until I get fed up with this template or I find one that has a black background that I like.
I came across an interesting movie trailer today. It just so happens, to also be Clint Eastwood’s last film, entitled Gran Torino. Basicallly you have a grumpy old man (Eastwood) who doesn’t seem to like anyone in his old age. He may also be racist (as the trailer suggests) and is unpleased with his new neighbors who are Chinese. Some bad things start to go down, and Eastwood gets mixes it up with a local gang.
Personally I haven’t ever been much of an Eastwood fan. I liked the old western movies that he did in A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and the best of them all The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). Other than those I haven’t cared much for most Eastwood films. This probably is his last film according to USA Today. However this film seems quite interesting. I would possibly even go see it in the theaters. I am not one to want to go to the movies very often as I think it is often a waste of money. Something draws me to this movie though. Maybe it is the whole social item of overcoming racist tendancys, or maybe that Eastwood is just a grumpy old guy who still is somehow badass. I am not sure but I am going to be following this film a bit closer until it’s release in December. Without further adeu, here is the trailer. Enjoy!
