Warm Weather
Every thing is better with warm weather. I mean i love to snowboard, but besides winter sports everything is better with warm weather. People our in better moods with warm weather instead of being coupe up all day indoors. Sports are better in warm weather. Would you rather play ultimate frisbee in the snow or on a warm sunny day. Feeling the warm of the sun makes every think better. Whens the last time you have every heard someone say, "Damn it's sunny outside." That shit just doesn't happen. I'm not trying to bash winter but everything is better whens its warm outside. Snow is fun but does it energize you. The sun period is cool because its warm and everything is better with warm weather. This easter weekend is going to be warm, which means people are excited. Easter egg hunts in the rain are no fun. The only problem with warm weather on easter is all the chocolate could melt, which would be a major catastrophe. Candy is the opposite, its not better with warm weather. The only time warm chocolate is good is preparing it for fondu. Sugar based ain't good warm, period. Especially because it can melt and than become very sticky. Little kids with sticky fingers is awful icky. Warmth means the sun is shining and when the sun is shining the earth is living. Without light their would be no no life. Light is warm, so logically their is no reason to not love warm weather. Ever thing is better with warm weather.

Movies
I've been watching a lot of movies lately and wanted to take some time to reflect upon them. Watching a lot of movies however makes it harder to remember specific details of some movies. I most recently watched The Departed. An overall good movie. I had no clue what was going to happen in the ending, which always keep a viewer intrigued. The rapid die off of all the character towards the end of the movie was my favorite aspect of the plot. It was interesting to see the head guy to die first and than everyone underneath him after. On a completely different genre of movie i watched Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story. This film was very insightful in the history and recent struggles with our economy. The movie in a nut shell revolves around the history and idea of a middle class. Starting out with the creation of the middle class after the second world war when the first unions were formed after long strikes. These unions caused the government to instill vast regulation in order for the middle class to have a right to a good life. Once Ronald Reagan became president the business sector was deregulated and the middle class was back were it started in before WW2. The Movie than continues to show various past administrations focusing mainly on Bush and Clinton about how the financial and treasury sectors were being run by wall street. Both Bush's and Clinton treasurer were business men right off wall street and most of the people work in the treasury were future CEO's/employees of Goldman Sachs. The movie basically ends with the crash of the stock market and the election of Obama. Obama is exactly what wall street didn't want to happen. A man who promotes change and represents middle class america. Although wall street donated considerably to Obama's campaign in hope that future regulation may not hurt so bad. We will see.
