YES OH YES OH YES!!!!! I'M BACK IN! Phew!!!!!!

Last night, I decided to look at some of the other blogs on joeuser, but I was doomed from the first click. Apparently, you can’t see your own site in the listings. I’m very competitive in nature, as Tink will surely vouch, and I want to know where I am in the standings. So I decided to log out, look it up and log back in. What I didn’t realize, was that all this time my computer has been logging in automatically for me since it saved my password, leaving me to sit on my ass oblivious. This is all good and fun, except when I went to log back in, I didn’t know what the password was!!! While this problem could be easily rectified with a password retrieval service, Joeuser did not recognize my email address. I was left still sitting at my computer, but now with a thumb up my ass. Numerous tries to log on, with what I thought would be valid ids and passwords, resulted in more thumb-in-ass goodness. But today! TODAY!! it let me in for some reason with the email and password I tried a dozen times last night. Ahhhh.....Rectal comfort once again.

It must be a sign. Never log out! Never!

For those of you just tuning in, the score is now Steve 1, Joeuser 0. And what a stunning fourth quarter turn-around we’ve seen tonight.

Skipped second so that I could walk to Future Shop in the bitter cold (WHY OH WHY DID I NOT GO BACK FOR MY JACKET!), to pick up The Wall soundtrack. Amaaaazing, this double cd is, amaaaaazing. Despite being a complete dub of the movie with occasional edits, such as a softer scream during Comfortably Numb and Stop, Pink Floyd has kept it’s perfect record of pleasing with a complete set of lyrics. The truth is in there! Yet, possibilities and theories have already started bubbling in my head. The most convincing so far, refers to dictator Pink emerging once he enters the institution. I’ve also greatly considered the fact that maybe this is a work of a few short films intertwined all representing a physical, or emotional wall of some sorts. While this might be the most likely answer, I don’ like it. If so, it seems more like a cop-out than an art flick. Until I have the time to sit down and read through the lyrics carefully, I’ll just have to rack my brain some more, not that there’s anything wrong with that. I mean, I’ll be honest, I like it when I don’t understand everything about a movie. If I knew everything, I wouldn’t be able to watch it again. What’s the point? To reinforce my ego? Not needed. I’d say it’s pretty big already. (I had another one of those moments today where I thought I wonder if this is all an elaborate hoax, designed to fool me and only me. As absurd as this sounds, it could be true. You never know, but maybe you do. And you’re just not telling me. Maybe everyone knows. Maybe I’m going to turn into one of those people who are afraid of the wind, because it doesn’t seem right how I can’t see it, yet I know it’s there. Maybe.)

Where was I? Ah yes. (It seems I’ve lost my entire inner monologue. Everything I think, I know type. Funny how the fingers just do as they please.) Knowing everything - bad. Knowing not everything - good. Vanilla Sky - good. The Lion King - bad, very bad, heinous even. Sorry to all of you Simba pals out there, but I hate that movie. Absolutely no replay value whatsoever. Saw it once in the theater as a double bill with beauty and the beast, and I liked it. Twas good, but not more than once. (Wow, I just noticed I’ve written a crapload. Gotta learn to cut back.) There are some stories that you can watch again even if you know the outcome. The Great Escape; you know how it ends, you can vividly picture McQueen soaring over that fence, and you know the heartache of their massacre, but you can still watch it again. Armageddon, not so much. We know they have to go up to the rock, the drill breaks, the car flies over the gorge. Yet it smells to high heaven. Well that might be a bad example actually. I have a problem with apocalyptic films. Now believe me, I’ve already gone through the possible plot endings and final sequences. It can be done! So why hasn’t it happened yet? Imagine the sheer eye-candy!!! A fire ring engulfing the entire globe destroying everything in it’s wake. You could do close-ups of the earth crumbling under the shockwaves and the tidal waves engulfing the coasts of wherever. And the shock the audience would go through. MY GOD! Play it up in the commercials as the feel good flick of the summer then BAM everyone dies. It would be like Independence Day but without Will Smith, and the whole surviving thing. Even If I become a gas pump attendant at a Petro Canada in Oakville, I am going to make this movie, unless anyone with talent makes it before me. Man that’d be one hard project to pitch to a producer. “I wanna make a movie where everyone dies. Me, You, Everyone. Can I have 10 million?” Isn't it amazing how I can go from "yay! Im back in joeuser." to "everyone must die?"

Oh and to all you misdialers out there: “How does a person misdial a 4 instead of a 9? It boggles the mind.Rotary or touchtone, it makes no sense.”
