PECKPOST

Hello everyone. Yeah I didn't blog the past weekend because I was lazy. But then again I can't help feeling that once-a-week posts aren't enough to sustain a blog in the first place.  

Yeah so I was actually posted to armour (umm like tanks and bigass machine guns) as a trooper but have been very, very fortunate to be able to down pes because of my eczema. Yeah so really thank god. So basically at the moment I'm awaiting my next posting. In the meantime I'm a saikang warrior for one of the companies. It's not bad. I get to book out early, I don't have to march etc. Ah basically I've met a lot of different people at armour. Hmm more street-smart than book-smart I would say. Lots of smokers, lots of people who converse in hokkien. I had a guy in my bunk that had gone to prison before haha. He's kinda cool. Well, that is if he's your friend of course. Yeah wally is doing saikang with me because his shoulder is busted. It's nice to have a good friend to talk shit with and stuff. 

So last week I actually borrowed American History X from videoezy. I've been wanting to watch it for a long time and I definitely wasn't disappointed. It's one of the best films I've ever watched. It's basically about the nature of race in America and how this reformed white supremacist is trying to prevent his younger brother from going down the same path that he did.  Edward Norton is absolutely brilliant in this. I've no idea how he lost the 99 oscar to robert benigni. Life is Beautiful was really good but seriously Norton BLOWS the italian out of the water. My only gripe about the film was that the ending didn't quite do justice to the buildup. But still this film is just so gripping and engaging. Even my dad sat down for 2 hours to watch it and mind you he's a strictly shoot-em-up/martial arts cheeze kinda movie-watcher. Just watch it if you can. 

Yeah I've just been catching up with the latest in interesting news. The new Hellboy 2 trailer is out and it blows my mind. Check it out here And I hear that Guillermo Del Toro is nearly confirmed as director of The Hobbit and that's just great because the fantasy worlds he cooks up are just wonderful. 

And I'll finish off with David Cook's cover of Chris Cornell's cover of Billie Jean on American Idol. Rocking good rendition.
