TOP 100 FAVORITE MOVIES: Part 1

Comedy, Horror and Sadness!
I made a list of my top 100 Favorite Movies of all time list and I am sharing it.
 
Harry and the Hendersons:
Wish I had Harry for Show and Tell
Patch Adams: 
Very sad and inspirational. 
The Omen:
Scared me, but still watched it! 
Short Circuit:
Wish I had him for Show and Tell too!

BATTLE: Pee Wee Herman vs Ernest P. Worrell

Both made me happy!
The battle! Sure most people might have their mind made up, I enjoyed both characters very much! Pee Wee Herman was more of a kid, that had his own house and talked to his furniture, living in a trippy world on his TV show. Ernest did not have a TV show.. instead he made movies and I only really love three of them, but with Pee Wees show to back him up he is looking pretty good. Throw his show aside I am going to judge the movies alone, and it comes down to Ernest Goes to Camp vs Pee Wee Hermans  Big Adventure.. for this I pick Pee Wee Hermans Big Adventure! Ok now bring back Pee Wees Playhouse, you have your winner of this battle: Pee Wee Herman. Most of my fun happened in regards to the bow tied adult child. Also I believe Ernest should have hung up his hat after Ernest: Scared Stupid then Jim Varney would have focused on other movies and would have had a better career. Just my two cents.

Fact: Longest I grew my hair was 12 inches.

*nom nom nom* kitty yummy.
Not sure if I could write a paragraph about that but I shall try! I always preferred having medium to long length hair. My parents gave me so much annoyance over my hair I wanted to drop kick them in their sleep, but I did not. This picture was roughly around 2007 and I do miss it sometimes. When it came time to cut it, my girlfriend was was excited, yet nervous because it would be something totally new and I was a bit timid about it but I went for it.

The day I chopped it all off I was very sick, I had some left over jello with some whipped cream.. I do not know how I didnt vomit all over the girl who was cutting my hair but I felt like I was going to pass out and vomit on my way to the floor. So after I drove over to my girlfriends house for the big reveal! She saw it and loved it, meanwhile I'm leaning against the wall trying not to cover her in jello/whipped cream.. it was suppose to be a fun night but I ended up going home early and eventually threw up all that I had. Wow.. probably shouldn't have gone this route of telling you about my hair.. Oh well, I already typed it.


Real Fact: The average scalp has 100,000 hairs. Redheads have the least at 80,000; brown and black haired persons have about 100,000; and blondes have the most at 120,000

Fact: We watched Benji in school, I hid my tears.



When I was young I had the best dog ever, his name was Ben. My parents found him abandoned looking through trash, he was a small dog similar to Benji. He was my best friend and I think that was a reason why when I cried while watching Benji. Back in probably 1992/93 in the first or second grade we all gathered into the library to watch one of the Benji movies. The scene that made me sad was when Benji was lost, his owner came down in a helicopter and called his name, Benji looked at him but did not get to him. It made me incredibly sad to see a dog lost in the woods and to see the owner yell for him worried and sad.

One of my weaknesses is when sad things happen to animals. Even in the movies when they are acting! Either every animal in a movie is a terrific actor or I just have a soft spot for them. Looking at clips on youtube make me kind of sad! I love the poster for the movie, its pretty sweet.


Real Fact: The title theme of the film Benji was nominated for an Oscar, and won the Golden Globe Award.

Fact: My first french kiss happend during Warren G's "I Shot the Sheriff" Video.

Not the best song but whatever!
Lets see this takes us back to the 5th grade which would have been 1997 for me. My friend had an older sister who was two grades above me and we all hung out, did outdoor things, ride bikes, eat chips, played games and whatever else there was to do. So I knew that his sister liked me, I liked her too and one of my other friends said she wanted to make out with me, so I was game. The plan was for after school her to come over my house which was one block away and we were going to make out before my parents came home.  So she came over, we talked and we stood by the window next to the door, next to the TV, the Warren G song "I Shot the Sheriff" came on and I looked at the TV, she looked at the TV, I was standing there nervous and she said "Ready to make out?" I said yes and we made out. I told her I really liked it and she said she would see me later. So once she left I felt like THE MAN, and had to call one of my friends who was in her grade and told him I just made out with her, he said it was cool and that was that. Not a story with a climax... but thats a fact!

On a related note, three years later I became someone elses first french kiss.. it happend in the middle of a mall.

Real Fact: French kissing involves all 34 muscles in the face. A pucker kiss involves only two.

Fact: The idea of Time Travel boggles my mind and I love it.

Ever since I was younger I always wanted to go back in time, this started a while after legendary rapper 2pac was gunned down in Vegas. Are you saying wtf right about now? Typing this I even said wtf in my head but hold on, let me rewind.. the idea of time travel came into my mind watching Back to the Future, it was mostly traveling back to the 50s/60s like good ol' Marty McFly but after 2Pacs death and the controversy around it, I thought it would be cool to go back in time and either stop it, or find out who did it. Then years went on and time travel has become mostly in the sense of nostalgia/memories of being young, living where I lived and that whole package deal. Also, looking at antiques, mostly vintage photographs are somethings I find fascinating. Going outside and exploring places, seeing old railroad tracks that haven't been used in decades, or old buildings that have not been taken care of and seeing nature take over. Just opening your mind and thinking the world existed long before you did is mind boggling just like the idea of going BACK in time before you were born.

Real Fact: Time Travel to the Future Is Much More Common Than Time Travel to the Past

The most common type of time travel involves a trip to the future. Getting a glimpse of the future is reported much more often than stepping into the past--even momentarily. Thousands of people have precognitive dreams or visions each year, but only a few claim to have visited the past. Many more experience what is known as déjà vu (which means "already seen" in French), a sense that they have visited a place or experienced an event before it actually occurred.

Is future travel easier? Actually, precognition may not be an easier process than retrocognition. It may simply be that it's easier to get others to believe your trip to the future. If you write down what you see and give it to someone before the future event occurs, people will believe you. On the other hand, tell people that you've visited a time in the past and seen the Battle of Bull Run and they are more likely to laugh or to think that you've gone crazy. Since there's no way to prove that a time trip to the past was real, many people may choose not to tell anyone about it.

Fact: Playing Tekken on Playstation 1 was one of my happiest moments!

This cover, feeling of joy!
Sound pretty sad? Twenty Seven years of age and one of my all time happiest moments comes down to renting my first Playstation 1 game. Well sad as it may sound, it's the truth! It was amazing to see the graphics, sitting there 2 feet in front of the TV on the rug sitting on my feet while either smiling big with my mouth wide open or smiling while biting my lip as my eyebrows were raised up to my hairline. After my couple days of renting it from the 'then Holy Grail of movies/games that was Blockbuster, my dad took me to Toys R Us to buy it!

Real Fact: Playstation 1 was released in 1994 then Playstation 2 was released in 2000 and Playstation 3 was released in 2006.

Fact: I have loved the WWE all my life.

I took this photo at Survivor Series 2008.
Ever since I was young I always loved to imitate my favorite wrestler, as well as Superman, Batman and everyone else who was awesome. When I was a kid it was the excitement, it was the entertainment which then changed a bit once I understood more about the business and how its staged. Yes folks, politically correct term for us wrestling fans is "staged" not "fake". They do get hurt every time they go out there but exaggerate the pain for the crowd. Fake is Hollywood, Staged is wrestling.. So after finding out the world behind the curtain, how things work, why certain wrestlers are at the top, why they lose it all becomes a whole new world to a wrestling fan. Now the title is "I have loved the WWE all my life" I was specific by saying WWE because I wasn't always a professional wrestling fan, that would indicate I followed other promotions such as ROH, NJPW, AJW.. during my teenage years I became a hardcore pro wrestling fan and bought many VHS tapes from online stores, many DVDs featuring FMW, ECW, XPW, Japan Death Match tournaments, (nobody dies just an intense name!) and even backyard wrestling dvds *pushes in back of the shelf with shame* but nomatter what other type of wrestling I watched it was always the WWE.


  No matter what was going on in my life, wrestling was always there. I watched it every week on TV, read about everything online and it never disappointed me. I looked at the wrestlers on TV as my second family and it always made me happy and really has been a huge.. a HUGE part of my life.

Real Fact: Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XIX was the first main event at WrestleMania to feature two wrestlers using their real names.

Fact: I recieved 4 stitches above my eye on my 11th birthday!

Not actual picture!
The plan was to wake up, go over my cousins house for a while and eventually end up at the bowling alleys. Well to pass time me and my cousin Steve decided to mess around with hockey sticks... with no pucks. They had plenty of plastic 2 liter soda bottles laying around so we were slap-shooting those bad boys around. So my cousin Steve says "Watch out." and I said "I'm not in the way" two seconds the lip part of the bottle is shot right above my left eye, it stung like a son of a gun! My cousin Steve then said  I was bleeding in which I then touched my gushing wound and saw the blood on my hand. Up the stairs I got holding my fountain of blood getting my aunts attention who happened to be a nurse. "I'll call your mother! You need stitches!" 


Next thing you know I'm walking down their driveway to my nanas house where my mom was at holding a paper towel over my bandaid which was not doing much at this point due to it being completely soaked. My mom rushes me to the hospital, and all I can remember is doctors around me, laying down.. with this big cloth over my face and the feeling of a fire poker stabbing me in my already throbbing wound. I believe I cried, it sucked.  


One hour later I was at the bowling alleys hitting those bumpers, eating cake and ice cream! 
I cant remember many birthdays, not the best memory. I do remember years later going out to eat with my mom and dad on my birthday and all they did was tell me how I need to do better in school and how I should be punished if I didn't do better. Oh yeah, not the best time at Brigham's that's for damn sure!


Real Fact: The earliest reports of surgical suture date back to 3000 BC in ancient Egypt, and the oldest known suture is in a mummy from 1100 BC.
