It's cloudy outside. I thought it was going to rain at first. But the weather reports doesn't have any chance of rain being reported. So the sky is merely cloudy for the sake of being cloudy. That's fine. I know that the sky is still bright blue above all of those clouds. Nothing much is going on in my life beyond drinking coffee, surfing the Internet and working minimum wage. I keep hoping to win the lottery, but I'll need to purchase a lottery ticket in order to win the lottery. You can't just stand next to the lottery machine, say that I deserve the win the lottery because I'm a nice guy and expect to win. Getting involved and buying a lottery ticket is the only way to win the lottery. Well, anyway, it's a cloudy day and the weather outside feels like Summer. It's a good day. I'm feeling calm and I'm feeling at peace with myself.

According to Ancient Norwegian mythology, the world isn't flat nor is it round. The world simply grew from a tree branch. Ancient Norwegian mythology pretty much stated that everything, the universe and the afterlife and everything else in between grew from an old ash tree called Yggdrasil. And growing from the branches of the old ash tree Yggdrasil are nine worlds (or plains of reality).
The first plane of reality is Midgard aka Miðgarðr---That's where humans live.
The second plane of reality is Asgard aka Ásgarðr---That's where the GODS and dieties live. It's the primary plane of reality that all the important dieties reside.
The third plane of reality is Vanaheimr---That's were the lessor secondary GODS related to future prediction, fertility and wisdom reside.
The fourth plane of reality is Jötunheimr---That's where the frost giants, rock giants and other giants reside.
The fifth plane of reality is Álfheim---That's where the elves reside.
The sixth plane of reality is Hel---That's where all the corpses, both good and evil, reside. In other words, the sixth plane of reality is the afterlife.
The seventh plane of reality is svartálfar---That's where all the dwarfs live.
The eighth plane of reality is Niflheim (or Niflheimr)---That's a mostly empty plane of reality that's covered with ice. Sometimes people living in the sixth plane of reality called Hel would rent out space, but it's mostly empty and never used by anybody or anything.
The ninth plane of reality is Muspelheim---That's a mostly empty plane of reality that's covered only with fire. The Sons of Muspel and plotting to wreck the ice bridges of the eighth plane of reality in their quest to destroy worlds might be living here, but it's mostly empty aside from those group of individuals.
Oh yeah, today is Norway Constitution Day (Norway gained independence today on May 17, 1814).

Well, with the need for maintenence successfully being concluded, the correct functioning of Livejournal has been restored. Livejournal is back online once again. And so here I am typing on the Internet once again. I can freely post on Livejournal once again. I'm not sure what the problem was that required almost a full day of maintenence, but it's good that it isn't a problem anymore. And so continues my existence in Cleveland, Ohio, the United States of America. The sky is a deep shade of blue and the weather feels more like Summer. I'll need to mow the lawn soon. I'll put the lawn mowing on the list of things that need to be done before the weekend ends.

I apologize for the delay; a combination of a late movie-watch and LJ screwiness meant I couldn't post until now. At any rate, I didn't have access to this week's Hit Me With Your Best Shot movie, so I had to find something else. And that something else was a Western called White Comanche.

I could swear I’d vaguely heard of White Comanche before I discovered it on a DVD set. My gut tells me that I must have seen it mentioned in one of those books of bad movies, under the “so bad its good category”. It’s hard to fully disagree with that assessment, especially because I decided to watch the movie only for the potential William Shatner ham factor. However, I’m happy to report that while it’s not a great movie by any means, it’s also fairly entertaining, both as a novelty and as a western.

There will be no review this weekend: I'll be out of town. I hope everyone has a great weekend, and I'll see you all next Wednesday.

Is it ok for me to type something on this blog? I hope so. The last time I tried to do this, I wasn't allowed access because livejournal was under maintenance. And while the under maintenance bit is still around, I appear to be more successful in typing this. Or rather, I hope to be more successful at typing this. The Gentle Reader and I will see if I'm more successful at typing this. It will be almost roughly one more hour to go before midnight by the time I'm able to type this. Hey, if I have to wait until midnight for the ability to type this Internet blog, he's the wait that I have to endure. Whatever was holding me back from typing this isn't holding me back anymore. So I get to type this Internet blog. So that's a good thing. And now I'm about to push the button that will post this Internet blog and I hope to be successful the first time around.

When I moved into this room 6 months ago it was empty and clean, like my insides, which had been exhaustively purged via Rohne.

That's not a new brand of laxative, but the hunky, hulky South African who I would have loved had he not fallen back in with his ex. The extraordinary feeling of lacking that bursted and ballooned within subsequent to that revelation carried with it the consolation prize of a need to act on and improve my environment.

This is not an urge that captivates me today. Hence my room is a tip and I barely care. I try to care. it just doesn't matter like it did when I was heartbroken.

I used to see ambition as a negative force to be avoided. Now it seems fine as long as it's balanced. So if I want to do better professionally I should try equally hard in my personal life.

When you think about it there is nothing to fear. People often say the more you have the more you can lose but I'm not scared of chaos or nothingness. That is where I come from and where I'll go back to. Same with all of you.

In the meantime, it's a good idea to make maximum sense, a feeling that comes from organisation built on organisation built on heart.

Demons are the feelings and behaviours that lead to nonsense, at least to me now armed with my new ambitions.

Good news everybody, Merida is officially the eleventh Princess of the Walt Disney animated cartoon film empire. And now that Merida (From the Disney/Pixar film Brave) is part of the Disney Princess Line, all she has to do is to start wearing makeup, lose some weight, wear a sparkling dress with excessive decoration that shows off more skin, wear a pushup bra that shows more cleavage, redo her hair so it doesn't look as if she woke up in the morning, lose the bow, lose the arrows, stop acting like a tomboy and wait around for a guy to rescue her instead of seeking out adventure on her own without a guy leading the way. That's all. Nothing for Merida to worry about. Merida has the job as the eleventh Disney Princess of it's Disney Princess Line once she has done all of that. It shouldn't be that hard to do.
Other Princesses of the Disney Princess Line are...
1. Snow White (from the film Snow White) based upon the stories Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Young Slave, The Glass Coffin, Sun, Moon, and Talia),
2. Cinderella (From the film Cinderella) based on the stories Cinderella, Cenerentola, Rhodopis, Ye Xian, The Story of Tấm and Cám, Kongji and Patzzi. The story of Cinderella was based upon an actual human being named Cordillia who was daughter of Celtic Britton Tribe King Lear. However, the actual story of Celtic Britton Tribe King Lear and his daughter Cordilia actually had a happy ending with King Lear deposing and killing his evil daughters Goneril and Regan before taking the throne of King of the Celtric Britton Tribe for three more years. His daughter Cordillia became Queen of the Celtic Britton Tribe for five years beyond that. Shakespere had a darker tragic ending which probably didn't happen in real life.),
3. Aurora (from the film Sleeping Beauty),
4. Ariel (From the film the Little Meremaid),
5. Belle (From the film Beauty and the Beast),
6. Jasmine or الاميرة ياسمين‎(From the film Aladdin),
7. Pocahontas (From the film Pocahontas) She's an actual human being who first married Kocoum and later married John Rolf),
8. Mulan or 花木蘭 (From the film Mulan) from the legend of Hua Mulan in the story Ballad of Mulan),
9. Tiana (From the film the Princess and the Frog (From the novels The Frog Princess or The Frog Tsarevna, Vasilisa the Wise, Vasilisa the Beautiful, Vasilisa's Doll, The Frog, The Prince Who Married a Frog, The Enchanted Lake and Doll i' the Grass))
10. Rapunzel (From the film Tangled (From the storys Rapunzel, Rūdāba or Roodabeh, Petrosinella or Parsley and based upon an actual person named Saint Barbara or Great Martyr Barbara born in the Ancient Roman Empire mid third century and died by decapitation by her own father early fourth century to late third century with a feast day on December 4)).
Future Disney Princesses from the Disney Princess Line will soon feature a brand new addition named Anna (from the upcoming soon to be released Disney film Frozen (From the story The Snow Queen).

I've been spending money like a drunken sailor, mostly on books and DVDs. But I still want more.

At the moment I'm tempted by The Adventures of Captain Marvel. The 1941 movie serial. I'm quite the fan of those 1930 and 1940s serials. The Lost City (1935) remains my favourite, although Undersea Kingdom (1936) and The Phantom (1943) are great fun as well.

Emily Van Camp plays Amanda Clarke aka Emily Thorne. Her biologic father was killed by Victoria Grayson and no she's driven to wiping out the entire Grayson all the way to zero---Both the good and the wicked, bankrupt the entire Grayson Family before killing a lonely and destitute Victoria Grayson as the final act. And for both seasons, the television show Revenge kept vaguely suggesting that Daniel Grayson (Played by Joshua Bowman---Emily VanCamp's actual opposite gender love interest and best friend as well as her fictional opposite gender romance and mortal enemy) must be the first of the primary Grayson family to die. Well, the bad news was that Daniel Grayson was in Grayson Global offices when Amanda Clarke aka Emily Thorne detonates a bomb. The good news is that he survived without a scratch. The good news, is that Amanda Clarke aka Emily Thorne murdered one of her Revenge seeking minions by accident. To be more exact, Declan Porter (Played by Connor Paolo) and the biologic son of Jack Porter (Played by Nick Wechsler) and the possible step-son of Amanda Clarke aka Emily Thorne was murdered by a bomb that his possible future step-mother planted and detonated. Well that's not convenient. Because Declan Porter was needed to lure Charlotte Grayson (Played by Christa B. Miller) to the graveyard. Now now that Declan Porter is dead, somebody else needs to chop up Charlotte Grayson with a kitchen knife so that Amanda Clarke aka Emily Thorne's revenge against the entire Grayson Family can be completed. In other words, nobody in the Grayson Family is affected beyond losing the corporate headquarters of their multi-nation corporation. Amanda Clarke aka Emily Thorne lost her future step-son and a crucial ally. I guess it's a good day to be a Grayson Family Thug after all.
So this is the bottom line. Amanda Clarke aka Emily Thorne tried to protect her future step-son Declan Porter and ironically ended up blowing him up to the graveyard. Victoria Grayson tried to protect her son Daniel Grayson and her daughter Charlotte Grayson and not only destroyed the would be murderers of her two children, but even gained a third child named Patrick Grayson. Now there's five Grayson primary family members for Amanda Clarke aka Emily Thorne to wipe out instead of just only four. Gosh darn the luck.

For those who never saw the Doctor Who series, here is a brief rundown. He's over nine hundred years old, he comes from the planet Gallifry, He claims to be the last Time Lord from Gallifry, but others of his kind keeps popping up. Everytime he dies, he simply grows a brand new body that has no physical resemblence to his former physical body and keeps living. And in that capacity, Doctor Who is almost nearly immortal. He lives in a spaceship that's bigger inside than outside and shaped like an old fashion telephone booth called the Tardis. His super-hero name is Doctor Who. His official secret identity is Doctor John Smith. The presence of the Valeyard suggest that either he's going to become evil psychopath or he used to be an evil psychopath and now on a mission of redemption. Oh yes, his actual name, the name he was actually born with, the name the evil self used before becoming heroic (If the Valeyard was a part of his past and not his future) was Baldrickpercyblackadder. No joke. No illusion. Baldrickpercyblackadder was the name Doctor Who was born with. We finally learn the true name of the Doctor in the latest Doctor Who storyline arch episode The Name of the Doctor.

Well I worked almost twelve hours yesterday at Red Lobster Restaurant. Mothers Day was a huge day for business at the minimum wage job that I worked at. Somehow, fish and Mothers Day goes hand in hand very closely. Still, I'm not complaining. I need the income. And so it's Monday. A new week is starting. Time continues to move forward. The sky is clear after being covered with clouds for the entire weekend. For once, it probably won't rain (While rain was always a possibility throughout the weekend). Still, the rain was good for all the ducks, fish and plants so that's always a good thing. Briefly touching the window alerted me that it's still cold outside. Still, the weather get warmer.

Today's review: Avanti!

I can tell what this movie wants to be. It wants to be both a cute romantic comedy with a subplot of "uptight person learns to relax when they travel to a foreign country." But while the movie is pretty to look at and certainly light without being outright funny, it has a few problems that keep it from succeeding at its goal.

Yesterday started off just like Summer. It was scorching hot and dry. Then the outside tempreture dropped to a cross between late Auttumn and early Spring as it dropped close the forties with rain lightly falling. Then the rain stopped falling, but the outside tempreture is still could outside. And yes, it might rain again. There's something about rain that makes the outside tempreture automatically drop roughly ten degrees or so. Don't worry Gentle Reader, Summer wll return to us all evenually.

Is it raining yet? It was supposed to rain today, but rain hasn't fallen yet. Perhaps it might rain later today or perhaps it won't rain at all. The Gentle Reader and I will see what happens in the hours to come. At any rate, it's Friday. The weekend has arrived. It doesn't feel like the weekend because the weekend is normally the time when most of my work hours often congregate. For me, the weekday often feels more like the weekend than the actual weekend itself. There's nothing wrong with that. Since minumum wage employment is my only source of income and perfection in restaurant employment is crucial, it's a learning experience that makes me a much better person.

I’m a big fan of the American mystery/suspense/science fiction anthology TV series of the late 50s and early 60s. Series like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Thriller (the one hosted by Boris Karloff) and the most underrated of them all, One Step Beyond.

I had a bit of a health scare this week. Actually a very big health scare. Hopefully now resolved, so I'll try to be a bit more active here.

Gentle Reader, it's only a few weeks to go before the start of Summer. It already feels like Summer. Gone is the arctic tempreture and here comes the tropical breeze (Or at least the wind feels like a tropical breeze). The day started with dark storm clouds and the chance for rain. But now, the Gentle Reader and I have the clear blue sky above. There might be rain tomorrow and the day after that (Good news for ducks, fish and outdoor plants). However, Tomorrow is still a few hours from now. I won't have to deal with the rain today. So now that Summer is finally here, I'm going to enjoy the moment for all that it's worth.
