The Proposal

I went to the movies this week to watch the film The Proposal. This was a last minute selection from my girlfriend. It was either The Proposal or Up. I let her pick the movie because it is a lot easier this way. Sometimes, it is worth losing the battle to win the war in the end.

Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is the executive editor-in-chief of a book publishing company, Colden Books, who forces her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her in order to avoid being deported to Canada. He grudgingly accepts, under the condition that he is promoted to the position of editor. When the government investigates, the two are forced to spend the weekend with his parents in Alaska in order to sell the lie. The family suggest they could marry the same weekend, and they reluctantly accept. They start to fall genuinely in love as they spend more and more time together. Because of this, during the wedding ceremony, Margaret decides she cannot do this to Andrew and confesses the business arrangement in front of everyone--including the immigration officer handling their case. She is then told that she has 24 hours to get back to Canada, and thus goes back to New York to pack her things. Upon doing so, however, Andrew shows up at the office and confesses his love for her in front of the entire office staff, proposing marriage all over again.

When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

Then, the scene starts to change from New York to Alaska in which her assistant Andrew Paxton is originally from this small town in Alaska. She discovers that her assistant parents are well off to do. They have a lot of business in the local town. They are trying to hide that they are really engaged. They have a few holes in their stories. Her assistant is like the prince of the town. All, the local women have an eye for him. She starts to discover that this small town has a lot of magic to it. She has discover that Andrew is the only child on the family. His mother and grandmother are really into their only child. Sandra Bullock character is really into the big city life and she has a hard time understanding these people. The grandmother has a really liking to her grandsons new bride. She gives her some wonderful gifts that the family has cherish for years.

The Proposal has some wonderful qualities in them such as falling in love, beliefs, and certain family traditions. I love the fact that certain things are passed down to the bride in the family such as wedding dress. It is misleading in some other ways such as lying and cheating the government on the immigration laws. If, you are in the mood for a love story in which it is pretty predicatable but it gets the point across in a certain way. This is a perfect movie to watch with a close someone in your life.

Audio/visual not synchronized: When we hear Andrew's friend yell down to him from the airport tower, "There was nothing I could do," his mouth doesn't move.

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Granny Annie who is celebrating her 90th birthday says she wore the wedding dress when she was pregnant, but also says her mother made the dress in 1929. She would have been ten years old in 1929.

Golf

Wow! 65 is the number of strokes to qualify for the Nationwide Tour. 65 my target score when I am teeing up the ball. I have noticed that a 65 ll get you into the qualifier for the Nationwide Tour. It is something to work at for now. My goals is get my game to a 65 or lower. How can you shoot great scores such as 65 when you have so much pressure on you. It is really simple if you look at the math of a round. First, you are going to make a few mistakes on the golf course but you will need to miss at certain places. So, you will not compound the mistakes too much. 65 is seven under par. So, you will need to make at least seven birdies in your round and you will need to make at least 11 pars to make the cut. Another way to get a 65 is to make a eagle and 5 birdies with at least 12 pars. When, you are looking at these scores. You will need to focus on one shot at a time not the target scores. If, you take one shot at a time. You will do fine. Roll Tide Roll

XBOX 360 Repiar

Well, I am free until Monday and I need to get a lot of work done around the house. I have all these small little projects that I need to complete. I am working on my bathroom at the moment. It is taking me a little longer but I want to do everything the correct way. So, I am hiring and doing some of the work myself. I think the hardest part for me is finding the correct tools to do the job. Some of these jobs are really easy but the tools are really hard to find for some of the niche job around the house.

I am working on a lot of XBOX’s at the time. I am constantly looking for 5 mm washer to help me fix these XBOX’s. Sometimes, I am very lucky to find them at the Home Depot but they are so disorganized at Home Depot that it is really frustrating to go there. Lately, I have gone to this web site to help find these hard to find parts online. The stores will list the various prices for the washer and they will even list some other types of items.

Another item that I need with the XBOX 360 is a heat gun. I am using the heat gun to reflow some of the circuits on the XBOX 360. I have purchased a Wagner heat gun because it has really helped with the reflow process. Also, the quality of the heat gun was the big factor for me. It seems like the quality of their products are always outstanding for me. I have worked on about 40 XBOX’s so far and I didn’t get any problems with the heat gun. This heat gun is very easy to use because it is very light weight and I need to make circular movement on the motherboard.

It is important that when you are working on these XBOX’s that you have the correct tools to fix your units. It is very frustrating to work on certain XBOX’s and your tools are damaged or missing. Having the correct tools will help speed up the process of fixing the XBOX’s. In all, you will need to shop around to find the correct method to fix your XBOX.

If, you want me to repair fix your XBOX 360. I will charge you 25.00 plus shipping cost of 9.85. You will need to send in your XBOX 360 without the faceplate and you will need to give me a brief description of the problem with your XBOX 360. Usually, it will take me a day or two to fix your XBOX. I will return your money with the shipping covered too if I cannot fix your XBOX 360. Please email me if you have any questions.

Keep your dreams alive

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”



I am fighting really hard to keep my dreams going in my life. If, you have a strong sense of dedication in anything. You can accomplish anything in your life. You have to put a great effort into your goals to accomplish certain things.

The Dev il's Work

I was in Santa Barbara last week and we were walking out State st. State St. is a street where all the great shopping and dining can be done. This poet from Ventura name RM was walking down the street and he gave me this poem entitled "The Devils Work" One of the quotes in the poem stated the devil tries to make it seem like everything is impossible. I was thinking about this when I was trying to accomplish some of my goals in my life. I am trying to make it to the PGA Tour and I was starting to think that this goal was really hard to accomplish. I am working really hard on my short game for the last year or two. I am seeing the progress in my short game because it is getting a lot easier for me to chip and putt. I am having a lot of people who are watching me when I am practicing golf. I need to put everything together for myself. Last year at this times, I was thinking that my goal was too hard to accomplish for myself and I had almost out talked myself out of it. I just want you to keep moving forward with all your dreams and hopes. You will achieve all your goals if you put your mind and body toward them. You will have to speak positive ideas to yourself or you will remind in the same place. I will see you down the road. Roll Tide Roll!

Sony Bravia Installation

Well, I finally had a chance to get a flat screen TV. I have recently bought a LCD Sony Bravia. The LCD Sony Bravia TV was on sell on EBAY from this company called Open Box. I had to go to this place in Vernon, Ca to pick up the TV. The guys from Open Box were very helpful with getting and loading the TV in my truck. I was a little worried about the TV because I was getting it off EBAY. I had a company called Interstar to install the flat screen TV for me. I called this company on Monday and they set an appointment to install the TV on Wednesday. The installation of the flat screen TV over the fireplace took around 2 1/2 hours to install. I was very happy with the outcome of the installation. I have to remember that you will get what you are paying for in life. I would highly recommend these two companies to anyone who are getting a new flat screen installed in their living room. I would not let the price of the quote scare you off either. You are going to pay for what you get in life. Roll Tide Roll!

Santa Barbara

During these times of struggle, you really need to think deep about all the wonderful things in your life. I was visiting a pretty nice city on Wednesday. The name of the city is Santa Barbara, Ca. If, you have never visited this small but large town outside of LA. It is a really easy drive or a train to this city. The views are really nice when you are riding up the coast of California. You will catch yourself looking at the pacific ocean a lot. The ocean is such a wonderful place to get rid of all your thought. It is really hard to get down on yourself when you see all these wonderful things in front of you. It is really easy to lose yourself in this town. Well, I will see you down the road.
