Need I say More

No Ordinary Family

Last night was the pilot episode for ABC- No Ordinary Family. Being the geek that I am I had to watch, even giving up NCIS.  Now I have not watch any show on ABC in Some time because nothing has looked good. I believe the last show i watch on a regular  base was Lois and Clark. 

Now the main cast I loved.

Michael Chiklis Coming from “the shield” and “fanatic four” comes out as the out of place dad feeling like the world is passing him by. The family is breaking up right in front of his eyes and all he wants to do is get his family back on track.   

Julie Benz Coming from the hit show “Dexter”, Where she died, Plays the hard working mom wow only goal in life is to climb the leader.

The Show started with Jim Powell (Michael Chiklis) wanting the family to go with Stephanie Powell (Julie Benz) on vacation/work trip. After a plane crash Jim finds that he is super strong. Stephanie, having no time finds that she can run at the speed of sound.  They have 2 children a girl and a boy. the girl can read minds and the boy finds that he has vast intelligence. 

As i watched this show i find myself liking it more and more and I was also thinking about after it was over. I could really relate with the dad in so many ways. That was one of the biggest things for me to find in a show. 

I am hoping for the best with this show because it looks to be a great family show. I will have to turn off NCIS for another week to see what happens next.  Overall I give the show a 8 out of 10.

ok first i want to say.  GREEN DAY, WHO WOULD PUT GREEN DAY ON THIS LIST!!!  I mean come on.  Justin Timberlake is on it as well, i mean come on.  where is Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton (i know cream is on the list but they gave John and Paul their own numbers and the Beatles were number 1) . How can The Boss be Number 21.  He has to be in the top 5 on my list. 

Now i Know that my list would be different but what i saying is that some of these people on the list should not be and some should be a lot higher then what they were.  

A Work in the Works

So i have decided to work on a story, or book, or whatever you want to call it.  I have this idea for what could be a 3 book series and i am just going to go for it. 

I know 3 people in my life that has wrote books and i have a lot of stories in my head and i would like to write them down. i don’t know if it will be good and i not looking to be some big name but i have always wanted to do this. 

about a year ago i sit in on a writing workshop done by John Ostrander (comic book) and i really took a lot of what he said to heart. one of the things he said was to not show anyone what your working on until your done.  so i have decided that i am not going to talk about the story or show anyone until i am done, so please don’t ask what it’s about.  i do ask that you just keep me in your prayers in this time.  thank you and God bless.

My other passion

Back in 1995 a show appeared on TV, The New Adventures of Flipper.  When i saw this show on TV i fell in love with dolphins and all other sea life.  I wanted to become a marine biologist and spend my life working for the sea and it’s life, but God had other plans. 

I still have a love for the sea and i get hooked on shows and movies like The Cove, Whale Wars, and the coming soon Blood Dolphins.  It hurts to watch these shows because every time i see one of animals killed… well it sucks.    

After seeing the Cove i wanted to hunt me some  people. if you have never seen this movie you need to watch it and be just as mad as i am.  see the thing i don’t get is that if you kill a dog you can be thrown in jail, but if you kill a dolphins… you can make money.  the question i have is “how can people be so mean?” 

Now please don’t think i am some kind of tree hugger or anything like that. i eat meat and i am a hunter but i don’t kill for fun i kill to survive.  My family never had a lot of money growing up and deer season was a gift from God. we never killed more then we needed and we never shot unless we knew we had the kill.   I still eat meat, not as much as i use too but i still do. i will never be upset for a person killing for food but when it come to a unless kill that upset me. 

 

Whales, dolphins, sharks and every other living thing in the oceans need to be left alone.  what will happen when all the whales are gone from the ocean, haven’t  you all seen Star Trek 4.

The Hoffmann’s are BACK

Well after a very nice week off in TN and GA we are back.  The family and i Got to go to God’s country, Gatlinburg TN.  I love this part of the country, it is so Godly i feel at peace and on of the greatest thing in the world is there…

Yes one of my dreams came true, i got to seat in the General Lee and I was in heaven. This is a car that i grow up loving and is a car that one day i would love to have.  So if anyone has one and would like to give it to me, that would be cool.

But it was great to be in God’s Country and i love being in the bible belt.  It was nice to see people praying before a meal, other then my family.  Coming back to Missouri is great and all but i love to be in a place where God in front and center.  i know that God is everywhere but i love it when people there are more Churches then bars. I just wonder what this country would be like if the U.S. was just like the bible belt.  More Churches and less sin dens, How great would that be.
