Nelly Climbs Into Diddy's Underpants

Good Afternoon Ladies & Gentlemen,

More on the title of this entry later. Yesterday my brother called and really wanted to hang out…like, he bribed me with thirty bucks to come hang out with him. Of course when it was all said & done, he ended up just buying dinner…so I really drove down there for three pieces of Dominos Pizza, which filled my stomach for a few moments…but not my gas tank. Remind me never to fall for that stuff again. Also, we hung out…and my niece was there most of the time…but he basically just talked about last week and how mad it made him and everything…so I just kind of zoned out as he talked half the day…and the other half was me playing with my niece Kairi, who's getting ever so spongy that I really have to watch what I say around her. Now, my brother swears like a sailor…so she's pretty much doomed to half of her vocabulary being four-letter words…but I'll be damned if I get blamed for it by her mother because she overheard her daughter swear. If she says "Your mom" or "That's what she said" or "I'm Rick James, bitch!" completely out of context…then maybe you can blame me. If you're reading this Ashley, don't blame me for her vulgar language…blame me for her tongue gestures and fondness for high fives & fist bumps.

Other than that, we watched "The Incredible Hulk" with Edward Norton, Tim Roth, and Liv Tyler. It was…exactly what you would expect. So to say this may be a bit of a spoiler…is a bit of a stretch. Bruce Banner (Norton) is on the run from the government. Government finds him. Stan Lee cameo. Chase scene. Hulk get mad. Hulk smash. Hulk take nap. Bruce meets up with old girlfriend (Tyler). Lou Ferrigno cameo. Government finds him. Chase scene. Hulk get mad. Hulk smash. Hulk save girl. Hulk take nap with girl. Government makes a monster. Monster hurts people. Hulk get mad. Hulk smash. Iron Man cameo. Roll credits. It was still pretty cool and I like the Hulk comics and all…but yeah, it's exactly what you expected…and about a thousand times better than the other "Hulk" movie made by Ang Lee a few years ago. So yeah, if you like comic book movies…you've probably already checked this out…but if not, give it a shot. You might like it. It even has a few funny moments. Translated from Portuguese: "You wouldn't like me when I'm...hungry."

My Big Fat Geek Wedding - Comic-Con was this weekend in San Diego and the video game, comic, movie, and electronics giants were all in attendance with upcoming news, demonstrations, rumor speculation, and the like. Now, normally I'd be all over that stuff (at least the ones that I give a damn about) but then I read this story about weddings at Comic-Con…and you know this blog is pretty much Bohemian always talking about Truth, Beauty, Freedom and above all Love. About fifty people showed up to this wedding dressed as Jedi Knights, Storm Troopers, Elvis, and other characters for a "Star Wars" themed wedding. Friday's wedding ceremony, based on the language, costume and lore of a fictional Mandalorian race in the "Star Wars" movies, was the brain child of Tenille Kuhlman, 30, and Thomas Kuhlman, 39, avid fans who decided that the convention was a perfect place to gather far-flung members of their close-knit Star Wars fan club to celebrate their special day. The couple met online two years ago (shocking), said Tenille Kuhlman, who said she was at first was hesitant to embrace the Mandalorian lifestyle. "When I met him I knew what every Joe Blow knows about 'Star Wars.' It just sort of turned into life for us." Oh, it gets better.

The guests -- in full regalia including helmets, boots and jet packs -- formed two lines and created a light sabre arch leading toward the altar. "I don't have my fake gun!" somebody shouted. "That's OK," said another guest. "This is a wedding ceremony. I left mine in the car." The crowd fell silent as Tenille, escorted by armour-clad P.J. Reindel, a police officer from California who she met online, walked her down the aisle toward Thomas, who stood under an archway decorated with white faux roses. The bride and groom held their helmets in their hands, a solemn sign of Mandalorian respect. As they grasped wrists, Tom Hutchens, a 30-year-old IT professional and erstwhile Mandalorian preacher, began the ceremony. Wow!!! People thought I was weird because I want to dress up as superheroes (Superman and Wonder Woman) and have the instrumental theme to Monday Night Football play as we walk down the aisle…but now I don't seem so crazy, do I? Luckily, like the naming of my future children, I will probably have no say in the wedding arrangements either. We'll just have to save the dressing up for the honeymoon…or realistically, the weekends prior.

Nelly Climbs Into Diddy's Underpants - I figured (and was really, really hoping) that the story was going to have nothing to do with what I was thinking…but I just wanted to share the headline with you anyway. You're welcome.

Anyway, that'll do it for today. Have a great day everybody!!! Good to be back at work…for the time being.
