... theres this world out there..
... it thrives on the values honor and strength.. power and kindship..
... a world that somehow lives on.. even tho theres only one woman in it..
.. a woman whos an orphan.. yet has an uncle..

... this is the world of chinese super ninja...

its BANANAS (as sam would say)..

prior to tuesday nite.. i had never actually sat through an entire kung fu movie...
granted i dint sit through all of it cuz i passed out near the end.. *yo.. it was FOUR IN THE MORNING!!*
but it was an experience, i tell yoo.. one that i felt was worthy of a blog!

the fight scenes were surprisingly satisfying at times.. but i can see why bruce needed his own style of fighting.. cuz its definitely all for show.. (dint yoo wonder why it takes someone so long to die?).. it was soooo funny tho!! men would have their intestines hanging out with five knives in them, but theyd just git up and keep fighting.. and whenever they do bite the dust, its this dramatic spin and scream in slo-mo before they show the victor with a smug lil grin.. and who could ignore the way no one can talk while the ninja are moving.. cuz then they wouldnt be able to mute the sound and give the ninja their identifying characteristic of the silent footsteps..

it goes without sayin that it is a ridiculous portrayal of asian culture.. i mean.. theres one girl in the movie and she can fight.. the dubbed in speeches were high-pitched and the emotion behind those voices.. sooooo corny.. of course everyone had a fan and looong hair.. those side-burns are a trip! but how can yoo take those stereotypes seriously with a film so far removed from reality?

i would say.. this isnt a date movie.. and its safe to say there is no deeper level to it.. its like slapstick comedy.. yoo just gotta kinda take whatever yoo can git from it.. which is usually a couple hours away from yoor crazy life to relax and NOT THINK AT ALL..

p.s. blue bear STAYS!!! its raining blue bears!! hehehe woohoo!!!

in light of recent events, ive come to believe that i should.. in fact.. blog publicly..

good gosh.. am i really doing this?!?!

my inital motive in blogging was to make clear my convictions.. but only to myself.. typing is infinitely faster than writing in a journal.. and i dont have to carry around a lil book cuz there's computers EVERRYYWHEERREE!!

*siigghh* i was thinking the other day.. its not gonna be long before people start splitting for everywhere.. not that they havent progressively done so since the first seniors left at the close of my freshman year.. =( WAH!!! .. but yeah.. i guess i kind of want people to have a way of checking up on meeh.. kind of glance at the links on jon yangs page.. (cuz yoo knoe he has everrrryyyooneesss link.. ) and see my link.. and wonder about me.. (not that you guys dont ALWAYS).. and just.. click on the link and look at whats on my mind.. and whats outstanding to ME now.. cuz yoo knoe.. its all about MEEH on this page.. yeeeh yeh..

but enough about that..

now back to meeh.. (did the topic ever really stray??)
it suddenly occurred to me this morning.. that these last few months.. these are the last few months i get to live with my sister and brother!! =( i knoe i knoe.. anna's just moving down the street.. ny's not gonna be more than a drive away.. and i only come home every other weekend anyway! but.. all those awful mornings when anna or ryan burst into the room waking meeh from my pleasant slumber and telling my mindless stories, until ive suffered so much that i will escape it by abandoning my will to sleep and i git my butt out of bed.. or when we've all stayed up way too late watching tv and we race to the stairway so we dont have to be the one turning off the lights and running upstairs in the dark.. or when we all need to go to church in the morning.. and we try to wake each other up so that mom doesnt start honking that horn.. and the early morning fights for the shower.. and the late night hot dogs that dont get eaten because a drunken ny fell asleep in the laundry room.. or all of us gathering in mom's room while shes trying to read.. we wont have those moments anymore..
i remember thinking this the night before ny went off to college.. i was really freaked out.. and while i couldnt be happier with their plans to move on.. im nostalgic for our childhood..
damn.. the home we've shared these last 18 years is being exchanged for homes of our own.. and soon there wont be a place we call "ours." .. its definitely the right time for them to leave.. and its fortuitous that we even have such fond memories of home.. but one thought in my mind just kind of echoes: can i still steal the remote control if at their homes?? i mean.. i dont live there.. but they are my siblings?? i feel like they might pull.."its MY house".. but really.. i can always pull that "but im a guest" deal rite?? rite?!?! and once they move out.. does that mean that the remote at the house is MINE? cuz they dont live there anymore? and they arent really guests?...
haha in a nutshell.. i wish all of the best to my sister and brother.. and im crazy happy that eric and lorie will be official members of our family.. and so will their family!! the ambrosio clan expands.. thus beginning "ambrosios: part 2"... git yo tickets.. its gon be CRAZY~! hahaha i cant wait to see where their lives will take them next.. and its a definite comfort knowing anna and ryan are in such good company.. its strange that i never had to think about whether or not eric or lorie were rite for them.. some things in life are just certainties.. and theres no doubt in my mind that this is how its supposed to be.. good things for good people.. im getting a little gooshy..

soo...
did yoo knoe intestinal fortitude is a euphemism for guts?? hehehe.. neat eh??.
