Terminator Salvation

  

Can't judge the movie so much solely based on the Terminator Trilogy. If you know the trilogy, then you know the story. The plot takes place after it was much described by Kyle Reese in Terminator 1 in which John Connor has a major role in the resistance of the machines. SPOILER ALERT! I thought the best scene in the film was Arnold's appearance in the movie! (well a CG version of him of course) And it very much replicated the old Arnold of the 1980's. Young and buff. Very good job on the look-alike! Even though his appearance was just for a total of 30 seconds. Anyways the story was okay and has potential to build up for a sequel where John does actually send Kyle Reese back into time to save his mother, Sarah Connor. The entire movie was predictable and okay. 3.8 stars/5 stars.

2009

While this year proved to be a challenge for me with reaping the benefits of its rewards, I have come to know (realize) the importance of life and how to approach it as I've grown a year older. A couple things that I have obtain and will never throw away are:

• God's will and keeping His relationship | devotional time with the Lord (I love you Lord, thank you)
• An importance to family
• The trials experienced over the summer with unemployment
• A leading role in my new job
• A MBA degree in Project Management (and graduate certificate in PM too)
• Keeping relationships worth having; leaving behind past relationships that hinder you from doing what you have to do.

Kobe's Career Thus Far

 

We're headed towards the end of 2009 and Kobe Bryant has accomplished more that we expected out of him since the Kobe/Shaq era. J.A. Adande of ESPN writes an interesting article depicting the accomplishments of Kobe Bryant. He also weighs in his past, present, and what we may look forward to in the future of him.

Some Goodies

 
 

Some of the goodies I've gotten last weekend were:

• Apple Snow Leopard (so far working fine on my Macbook Pro laptop, I don't see much of a different except quicker shut down times)
• Apple Magic Mouse (looks nice, I'm used to bigger fattier mice, this is thinnest mouse I've ever held. I think so far so good with the bluetooth (that I had to purchase seperately - thank you Newegg.com!) connection to my Mac Pro desktop.
• Tommy Hillfiger wallet. Nice and thin too! 

Early Christmas gifts are nice to floss before Christmas but let's not forget about our family, friends, and God. 

2 Day Off (sort of ...)

Nice to get off of a 2 day consecutive day work and class seminar. That was really tiring. Looking forward to the Christmas holidays.
