sigh

Went to our monthly meeting at work this morning.

I sat through the entire hour long boring ass speech just so I could talk to the CEO afterward. Turns out he's not really pissed at me for getting hurt on the job anymore and is blaming my supervisor for not being notified.

Oh and I have nothing to do but sit home and wait until Friday before I might be able to work again. Thats when I go back to Urgent Care to have them see how well I'm healing.

I'm watching you

Last Friday I was on a job site, standing at the back of a dump truck pouring asphalt into a large cut out section of the street. Suddenly a car came flying through the construction zone and hit one of the orange barrels positioned directly behind me.
The barrel flies into me hitting me in the back and knocks me into the pit.
It was only a short drop, I landed on my feet, dusted myself off. Shook my fist at the driver while swearing and went back to work.

Here it it a week later, and I finally went to urgent care yesterday because my left heel had been sore all week and the heavy limping was slowing me down. After they took some x-rays it turns out I have a bone chip and a fracture in my heel. So now I'm on crutches for at least a week which means I can't work.

So to all of you out there that don't know how to slow down through a construction site, next time you may have somthing heavy like a damn jackhammer come smashing through your windshield.

SLOW DOWN!

Iron Man

Being a semi-reformed comic book nerd but still a fan of Marvel, I had to go see this movie. It is hands down the best Marvel Comics movie yet. Better than X-Men, better than Spider-Man, worlds above The Hulk, Fantastic Four, and Ghost Rider.

Go see it, it's completely awesome, Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of Tony Stark was spot on, he was the perfect choice. The even stuck to the character history and comic storylines very very close.

It's worth the theater price.


SPOILER ALERT BELOW

Stay and watch all of the credits, there is a scene at the end where Stark comes home and Nick Fury is waiting for him to ask him to join the Avengers. If you've read or seen the cartoon of The Ultimates, you'll know they made Nick Fury a black man. In The Ultimates comic in the beginning they were all sitting around one day discussing who would play them in a movie about their lives, Fury says Samuel L Jackson would play him.
Well he's right because thats who plays Nick Fury in the Iron Man movie!!!!

Gone to Iraq

Some of you know my friend 31iMiN473. He and I game together on live alot. He's actually my closest friend in real life. We met when we were kids and went through school together, graduated together, lotta history there.

He joined the Army about a year and a half ago despite my best best efforts after already serving in the Navy for 6 years. He's an officer and has a company of his own to command and everything. He left for Germany back in September and has been stationed there every since.

Today he was deployed to Iraq.

...


He's supposed to be going there to train the new Iraqi military. Makes me feel real good after hearing yesterday on the radio that the Iraqi military is surrendering to insurgents.
Please keep him in yours thoughts and prayers.

Please.
