http://thecraponthewallthatismybrain.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 19, 2008. I have a mini-vacation coming up due to that I need to use up my vacation days before the new year (they don't carry over) and I know that I won't be able to use them during sweeps and the holidays. I figured that I'd get some stuff done/fun during my four day weekend. In lieu of a day planner, I'll just use this blog space. Saturday, October 25th. 10:00am- Get free from work. 11:30am- Get last minute items. 12:30pm-4:00pm- Eat and nap. 4:00pm- 6:30pm- Last minute cleaning.

The Crap on the Wall that is My Brain: Grand Canyon
http://thecraponthewallthatismybrain.blogspot.com/2009/12/grand-canyon.html
Friday, December 25, 2009. When I visited the Grand Canyon, I found a quiet, unassuming spot to sit and stare at the earthly void. As I sat on a ledge under a tree, feet dangling over a cliff, I wrote down the following:. October 13, 2009. As I sit upon this rock a foot away from a long descent, tremors occur throughout my being. As the tremors ease in my body, I truly know what it means to gaze upon such beauty and respectfully fear it. By the way, use Bluetooth blocker. Good day, sun shines! There have...

Saturday, December 27, 2008. Barnes at the Movies: The Spirit. Is the solo directorial debut of comics mad genius Frank Miller, following up his co-directorial credential of his creator owned property Sin City. . Miller as a screenwriter and director introduced a genre I have yet to encounter: campy noir. 160;in the comic book aside from his "Mickey Mouse" gloves. But we are not talking about whether the movie is true to its source, we are talking about the work on its own merit. 160;with the volume a...

The Crap on the Wall that is My Brain: Destination Discovery and Delusion: Erik's Road Trip to California Days 1 & 2
http://thecraponthewallthatismybrain.blogspot.com/2009/10/destination-discovery-and-delusion.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. Destination Discovery and Delusion: Erik's Road Trip to California Days 1 and 2. October 10, 2009. I decided to listen to a Batman audio book. As I traveled along the coast, I felt like I was going nowhere being that I was technically still in Florida after a few hours but if I were to look to my right I could see Alabama. The coast wasn't kind weather wise with sporadic rain. On the plus side, I gained an hour due to switching time zones. October 11, 2009. I woke up, had a cold...

The Crap on the Wall that is My Brain: April 2009
http://thecraponthewallthatismybrain.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 23, 2009. As I looked out the plane window, I learned that baseball is America's undisputed pastime. Hands down. My proof? Freeze is a game in which we all stand in a circle while two performers act out a scene. When inspiration strikes, a person yells, "Freeze! Not really, no.". You really have a natural ability.". The class stared at me. I appreciated the compliment, but I just sunk in my chair. I love getting laughs, but I usually am uncomfortable being the center of attention&...I can...

The Crap on the Wall that is My Brain: September 2008
http://thecraponthewallthatismybrain.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 21, 2008. Fall Films I'm Going to Watch. Ed Harris and Aragorn from Lord of the Rings. Sold Renee Zellweger.well, I'm still gonna watch it. The film might be fifteen years too late, I still want to see Al Pacino and Robert De Niro as two hardened NYC detectives. Miracle at St. Anna. This seems to be a different Spike Lee joint as he tells the story about an all black American battalion trapped in a Tuscan village during WWII. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Simon Pegg burns every br...

Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Casual Conversing with Conan O'Brien. Yep I met Conan O'Brien. It started as a typical Saturday with me waking up at 3 am and doing three straight hours of news and a few news cut-ins until 10am I decided to hang out an extra few hours after work because Ernie said three words: "Conan is coming.". Like with everyone, he approached me and reached out his hand. Hi Conan O'Brien.". He sat down and was interviewed by our head anchor, Jim Payne, for almost 20 minutes. ...

The Crap on the Wall that is My Brain: Word of the Month
http://thecraponthewallthatismybrain.blogspot.com/2009/05/word-of-month.html
Monday, May 11, 2009. Word of the Month. 1 My car was given 6 months to live just two weeks after paying over $800 to get a part replaced. Thanks, rusted frame. 2 My professional contacts in Los Angeles haven't returned my emails and phone calls, not even to say "sorry kid, I can't." If you don't want to help, then don't offer it. Just give me an eff you email and I'll stop wasting your time and mine. 8 I still haven't found great fellowship; the pastor at the church I go to can sympathize with struggle ...

The Crap on the Wall that is My Brain: November 2008
http://thecraponthewallthatismybrain.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Barnes at the Movies: 007: Quantum of Solace. Isn't a bad movie nor is it the worst Bond movie. It was like a Bond girl: fun for the time being, but ultimately forgettable. Is a direct sequel to the rebooted Casino Royale. However, if you are going to do nonstop action, at least shoot it and edit it well. The ideas behind the action scenes are pretty inventive (a gunfight on top of wiggly scaffolding? Is that Bond's hand reaching for the gun? 160;Was that the handbrake?
