So I thought I should share this piece of valuable information. I'm sitting here, waiting for an advanced screening to start and I just so happen to overhear a group of entertainment journalists discussing Frank Millers new movie, The Spirit. I wish I could say that what I heard was good. These guys were ranting about how embarrassed Frank should be having directed this "royal piece of sh*t." They continued to say that studio heads will know that the "Frank Miller experiment is a total failure." "He should go back and stay in the comic book world."
Just a little FYI, you might want to sit this one out while its in theaters, wait for this one to stink on DVD. I know I will!
"I'm on my way!"

Flying anytime soon? Not after this...
I'm only 2 weeks from my trip home and this video comes up on the internet. Somehow I'm not so anxious to get on a plane anymore. This jumbo jet nearly crashed over the weekend as it attempted to land in the midst of a tropical storm in Germany.
The Lufthansa jet, with 137 passengers onboard, struggled through the strong winds of a powerful winter storm to land at Hamburg Airport, Spiegel Online reported. An amateur video captured the dramatic landing.
Now I'll go change my pants...and then my plane ticket while I'm at it.

Afraid of "Failure?"
I had a major failure today, and it was hilarious. I was supposed to set up a conference call for my boss and I accidentally sent out the
wrong phone number late yesterday. Out of sheer habit I put an 818 area code instead of the 866 area code. And this morning, one minute before the call was to begin, I dialed the number, and some guy named "Victor" answered. A wave of panic came over me as I realized that ten other people were about to make the same mistake. I took a deep breath sent out an apologetic email to all attendees saying that I sent out the wrong number and added the correct one. I then dialed the correct number and everyone joined the line in a matter of minutes. Just as business was about to begin, one of the attendees mentioned poor old "Victor." My boss then joked that we might as well ask him to be on the show since we had all called him. Everyone on the line was laughing by this point, including me. Although the whole experience was quite embarrassing, I was relieved that everyone had taken my ROYAL FAILURE so lightly. I am really lucky that my boss is so great. He is by far one the best Executives in my department.
After that moment of great dignity, I realized that I am not being so good with my goals this month and I know it's mostly because I have not written them down. This is proof that an integral part of accomplishing any goals is actually writing them down. I'm not about to make excuses, but part of the reason is because of my recent move. Things have been pretty hectic, but I am still doing my best to keep up on my goals.
We all fail, in fact some of the funniest stories of our lives come from our own major screw ups. Coincidentally, I stumbled across this website today that is nothing but examples of people failing at life. The Fail Blog is a collection of photographs of undignified moments from others lives. It will be sure to pull you out of any bad mood. Even in the wake of one of the biggest failures in NFL history, this could even help Patriots fans realize that it's not over after failure.
You can always get up, dust yourself off and try again, right? Kind of like this guy....
