This weekend I relaxed, if that word exists in my life. I spent some money, I saw some movies, and caught a Seattle Mariners game.

First and foremost, Harold and Kumar 2, a lot of people most likely passed on this stoner film, but not me. I’m a glutton for punishment. I love bad movies, and this one was horrible at times. Seriously, this film is nothing like the first, as it takes itself seriously at times and then they try to forget that the movie is about smoking pot, having sex, and laughing at stereotypical racial humor.

I didn’t like it.

It was ok, but not as good as the first film. I saw the first film with my friend Lump37, maybe I miss Lump, so this film is not the same. Check out the trailer below:

Moving onto non movie things, I bought some new shoes. I haven’t bought shoes in 3 years. The last two pairs of shoes were given to me free of charge, and this year I decided to buy some. My Dustin Dollin vans ripped in an odd location. The heel ripped from the sole, leaving me with a need for a new pair of shoes.

I hate buying new shoes.

The shoes I ended up getting were extremely marked down, and I couldn’t resist the price. They are Circa, AL50 Praying Hands…made for skateboarding, but will most likely be used for walking 4 to 5 miles a day (considering that I don’t make a straight line to work on a daily basis).

I was emailed a 25% off anything at Borders Books. I bought The Freedom Manifesto by Tom Hodgkinson, it looks really interesting. I read a few pages already and it is exactly up my alley. The front page reads,

“How to free yourself from anxiety, fear, mortgages, money, guilt, debt, government, boredom, supermarkets, bills, melancholy, pain, depression, work, and waste”

and you’re thinking it’s a self help book….but it’s not. It’s more of a humorous look into an interesting point of view.

I think it’s a light read, considering I’ve read some heavy books lately. You might want to follow along if you’re interested, if not, watch television or something…seeing as though Television and Film are the leading media formats in todays world.

Apparently books don’t need to be burned, because no one is really interested.

I went to a Mariners game, and the team held on to a 2 run lead until struggling late in the game, only to lose badly.

Ouch.

I almost shaved my head this weekend….I didn’t.

That really sums up my weekend. I have a ton of work to get to starting tomorrow, and I’m not looking forward to it. In the e-commerce world, even if you’re a programmer/web developer your life is run by numbers. I’m sick of that.
