I just got done watching the movie: Lord of War (2005)
I think it was a good film, in the vane of “blow” and “traffic” but with a different angle and a semi-moral overtone. The best part, IMO, is the ending and the open and blatant fact that when it comes to weapons of any sort, [...]

I just got done reading : The Brutal Christ of the Armageddonites – by Jon Basil Utley

It improves my ultimate frisbee game (seriously).
It reminds me and anyone else [...]

If anyone in the ‘ville hasn’t heard about the New Skyscraper for Louisville – check it out… It looks really cool (in my opinion) and would be a great thing to claim for the city… not to mention, it’d be very nice to have a modern art museum (in a building island, no less).
