Telling you what to blog...Build your to-do list

Ok this idea is more challenging than I thought, I started with #3 last week and moved down to #22 because it is easier than 4-21. The to-do list.
 Rather than show an example I thought it may be interesting to show how to craft one. First lets look at a weekday; we all have certain things that have to be done every day. some of those things change depending on time of year and other external factors. So I am not going to be all encompassing here and just look at me. Things that have to happen every weekday. Work, eat, bathroom breaks, sleep, kids to school/activities. Now, other things happen during the day like watching YouTube, reading playing games naps and snacking. so how do you build the list? start with priority of items


1. Work/Kids/Wife  all tied for first; you have to deal with them everyday.


2. Eat/games/bathroom (your priorities may differ)


3. Paint


4. Watching YouTube (or Netflix/TV again personal preference)


5. Reading (cereal box does not count, or text messages-But, this blog DOES!)


6. Nap/snacks


7. Sleep


8. Blog (not really a priority, but hey just trying to give a little love)


Now, just by listing tasks that have to be done and ranking priority; you have created a de facto to-do list.


Everything under one and two are optional and can be replaced with other tasks that need to be accomplished. For the weekend just remove work and swap 7 and 8.

Telling you what to watch...Tarzan, Is it any good?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…..cough, cough choke…gag

 

We were stoked to see the new TARZAN movie, you may even say we were Greystoked…sorry laughing at my own joke.

TARZAN was taken as a baby raised by apes, faces a great challenge and wins in the end by using the power of nature…oh, sorry…spoilers. Seriously, if you don’t know TARZAN or what this movie is about then I can’t help you.  So this is going to be a two part review. First the families take and then mine.

 

Mom, wife, kids. “that was awesome! I really liked that. I loved the big Kitties! The CGI was really good.”

 

Family verdict-Good fun movie very enjoyable

 

 

I warn you stop reading now

 

Really don’t go any further

 

You’ll regret it

 

OK, you asked for it

 

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

 

Why Hollywood? WHY? You assholes! I get it; every movie coming out now is made more for international audiences than the US market. But to make a plot this this with sooooooo many holes in it for the sake of making actors move from one place to another. Wow.

 

And for the love of all that is good please stop using the stupid blue filter on every shot to invoke feeling. Movies have been made for a long time without it and still expressed emotion through, you know, actors and plot!

 

To be fair Alexander Skarsgard did a great job as Tarzan. However, do we have to have the trope of the character with modern sensibilities in the past judging everything?

This movie man, it was immediately evident that it was going to be about the evil white dudes. It was like Inglorious Bastards, ‘let’s pretend historical events didn’t happen that way and everything is awesome!.’ The jungle kicked whities ass and the Belgiums and brits high tailed it back to Europe. Africa lives happily ever after. Um, nope. The movie started with the caption African Congo (this was never a thing.) At this point in time this area was the Kingdom (or Empire)of Kongo and then became the Congo Free State which had a corporation partnership with Belgium to exploit it natural resources. Listen, I don’t want to get to far into this history of Africa; I mean this is TARZAN its not reality. Which is the problem the setting should have been as make believe as the character.

 

Just one more thing

Force Publique in the movie:

 

 

 

Force Publique IRL:

 

 

 

 

 

Final verdict, if you can separate yourself from the realistic wanabe setting you can have fun watching this movie; if you can’t you will hate it. I would have been happier if the movie would have started out with just “Someplace in Africa” and left the historical; stuff behind. Too many plot issues to go into. Screw physics, AND SAM JACKSON RUNNING ACROSS COUNTRY IN HIS LATE SIXTIES KEEPING UP WITH TARZAN!!!!!!!

 

Enjoy

PS: Note every native in Africa in the 1800's was a roided up freak: oh god the blue...make it stop
