Girlfriend of the Week
I also do not think her actual last name was Everett. I remember it being something different from the classes we had together. Oh well. I hope life is going well for her and she is living with some South American tribe or something.
If you want to see her naked...

What's Playing? 12/3 Weekend
***
This weekend in theatres, everything looks great!
It's a four way tie for top my top pics:
The marital arts/Western The Warrior's Way that looks just amazing visually, the based on true events thriller/drama murder mystery All Good Things, the talked about dance thriller Black Swan starring Natalie Portman and Jim Carrey's newest comedy, a real-life story--- in which he portrays a gay con-man in I Love You Phillip Morris.
The drama Night Catches Us about Black Panters in the 70's with Kerry Washington looks promising.
And actor Nick Stahl (Disturbing Behavior, Sin City) tackles two roles in two good looking films, a police detective in the drama Meskada and a funeral parlor assistant in the horror/thriller Dead Awake.

I Think My Eye Is Going To Fall Out
Monday morning I woke up with a stye. I had one before when I was younger (like 10 years old) and I remember it hurting, but not being anything too bad. In fact, I made a nice joke about it with my brother. I sent him this picture and told him I looked like Forest Whitaker and Adam said "did it turn you black?" I responded with "my bad, Forest Whitaker if he did reverse blackface." Oh I crack me up.Unfortunately, the jokes must end. The damn thing has gotten worse since then. And it hurts like a sonofabitch. I could barely open my eye this morning.
Everyone keeps telling me to go to the doctor, but I really do not think there is anything they can do for a stye. I will continue using a warm compress (I tried a cold compress, which helped at first, but now it seems the warm one works better) and if it does not go away by the weekend, then I will head to the hospital.
And yes, I am as miserable as I look right now.
Sons of Anarchy Finale
As the season started I kept thinking that it would end with Jax getting Abel back and the MC killing Jimmy. Then it threw me a curveball and Jax gets Abel early. Also, Jax was making deals with Stahl about giving up Jimmy. It seemed so out of character. I mean, wouldn't Jax want to kill Jimmy for what he did?
Then, as the season went on, I started to understand Jax's decision. I mean, this was the best move for the club. I did not understand why Jax would not just explain the situation to the club and let them put it to a vote. The rest of the guys would have to understand what he was doing, right?
As soon as Stahl double-crossed Jax and sold him out to the club, I knew they were all in on it. I loved how they all reacted and did not want to speak to Jax. I loved how Unser put his gun and badge on the desk and grabbed his personal revolver. You just knew something crazy was up (but then it was Clay's comment to him that really gave it all away).
When the bus pulls up and Opie grabs Stahl and makes her put her hands on the wheel. That was one of the best moments ever. Her begging for her life was one of the best moments of the entire season. Watching that bitch get what she deserved made me unbelievably happy.
The episode ended with Gemma reading the letter from Jax explaining the whole situation, which mirrored the letter that Tara found from John to Maureen saying that he was sure Gemma and Clay would be the cause of his death someday. Jax also says in his letter that he is not his father.
I only wish that next season would start right now. Will the Russians become the new antagonists for next season? Or will Clay offer some kind of payback money once they get their hands on the IRA guns? Come on season four, get here already.

Croyle Township
Do you remember when I moved to the fabulous land of New Germany? Well, I think at some point I mentioned that it was a part of Croyle Township. I have officially become the ruler of Croyle Township and have decided to secede from the United States to form my own kingdom. That is right residents of Croyle Township, you need to stop paying your taxes to the government and bring them directly to me. Also, there will be a slight increase. Taxes will be raised to 60% of total income. If you work outside of our nation, there will be an added right to leave the nation tax of $10 per day. As of now, we will keep the dollar as our currency until our national mint is up and running. Enough about the boring stuff. Let us discuss the history of our glorious nation.
My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Lance Croyle, was a murderous brigand living in England. He was wanted for murder, which caused him to flee to the newly independent America. He moved to the area outside of Johnstown. His brothers, Kyle and Stevie, also left England because they found out that they would have to stand trial in Lance's place. That was one of the reasons we split from England: shitty laws.
The Croyle brothers did what they were good at: being outlaws. Then, the entire village was attacked by Indians (I actually think they were from India, not Native Americans) and the Croyle family led the resistance, killing off the evil Indians. The leader of the town forgave them for their earlier crimes and gave them some land outside of town, which they called Croyle Township. Unfortunately, Lance was not content being a simple timber guy or whatever the hell people did back then. He went to the bar and got into a fight and may have murdered someone.
The local constable (they had those back then instead of sheriffs) wanted to hang Lance, so he fled north towards the town of Philipsburg, where he lived in the woods and killed animals and the occasional person. He met a young girl who was lost in the woods and he captured her and made her his bride. That is how the Croyles ended up in Philipsburg.
You might be wondering what my plan is for my new found kingdom. I plan on starting a war with the surrounding townships. Once I have conquered a significant region, I will expand outward until all of Cambria County is under my rule. After that, it should be no problem to take over Blair County.
With two major counties fully under my control, I believe my next course of action would be to campaign north. I figure Centre and Clearfield Counties would be nice additions to my kingdom. Then, once those are completely subdued, I shall move my armies west. Once I have Cranberry Township, I plan to strike at Pittsburgh, which I believe will be a tough challenge.
The rivers are going to cause problems. If my enemies are smart, they will immediately destroy the bridges into the city. Ferrying troops across the rivers will be dangerous, but doable. Once the siege of Pittsburgh has ended, I plan to rest my armies for awhile. Our first act will be to build a wall along the Ohio border. I do not want any of those filthy Ohioans sneaking into my kingdom.
I expect at this point Philadelphia will begin moving their armies towards the Harrisburg area in order to monitor my eastward progress. Little do they know though, I could care less about Philly, that place is worse than Cleveland.
I am not a greedy conqueror. Once I have my little kingdom carved out, I plan on taking it easy and just living the good life.
So residents of Croyle Township, you need not fear, once the conquest is complete, you will receive a portion of the newly acquired taxes from my loyal subjects. That is your reward for supporting me during the first few years of the secession. Now bring me your taxes!
