No Fry Week

Justin Business

Hey People

Didn't do much today, I weighed myself and I have gained a couple pounds since the last weigh in 2 weeks ago. So when I went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch with my mom (Monday lunches with my mom have become a routine thing ever since March 2008) and I just got 2 sandwiches and a drink, No Waffle fries. I want to lose weight and I will do any drastic things that need to be done. So this will be a No Fry Week. Now I know that just staying away from french fries won't solve all my problems but it's heck of a start. 

Anyway, then took a trip over to FYE to look for good priced movies and music whether it be used or new. I should never go to these places without my list of things that I want since I can only think of a couple items every time I go to a place that sells movies and music.  Then went to Walkers (Convienient Store) to redeem my free drink I won through their Freedom Rewards Plan. Then went home and my cousin Andrew called me up and we chatted about nothing. Not much else to report

Movie Business

Shockingly as a movie buff especially with comedies, I have never seen the original version of Airplane (1980) until today. I got it really cheap while at FYE. I laughed several times catching the jokes that I didn't see during the many times the movie is shown on TV. My mom would always make the movie sound so horrible growing up just because of 2 seconds of tits on screen. Nudity ruins movies for her I guess. 

After typing this blog I'm going to catch a 2008 comedy special from comedian Eddie Griffin that I have never seen before called Freedom of Speech. I absolutely love his work especially Undercover Brother and his theatrically released stand up movie Dysfunktional Family. Speaking of him, I would like to re-consider a movie that I have dissed before on this blog and that would be The New Guy where he had a supporting role in. I watched it several months ago with my girlfriend and had some fun espcially reminiscing of how things were when that movie came out which was when I was in high school. 

Music Business

I finally bought an album that always seems to pop up during the last few summers, and that is the self titled release by the band Flyleaf. I first heard them in the summer of 2006 with the single "I'm So Sick". Then in 2007 I would always hear the album when I arrived at work most likely because one of my co-workers kept a copy there. I've borrowed it in the past and now I finally have it. The album has 4 very good songs and the rest flows nicely. They are the other band besides Paramore in the topic of rock bands with female lead singers that have rocked the last 5 years. I don't find the lead singer "hot" as other people I know do. Ehhhh she's alright in a elfish way, like the good looking girl (in the form of a fairy or something) from a fantasy movie.
 

 J-Ray Business
This morning before going out to do all that I've mentioned above, I recorded the last portion of the story that makes up the bulk of my next album Terrable. So now the running time is 3 hours for the project. What's left are a couple collaborations with Andre (The Dirty Mexican), an intermission track based on the title, a Messing with Music edition, and numerous background vocals so the album won't be super boring. I want to have the album completed and released by November.

Thanks for reading
