I forget) preaches a mix of greenie-liberal and then morally conservative messages. Do push-ups and plant a tree; don't smoke marijuana for your kids' sake. Bush is the devil; alcohol should be banned.<br /><br />I was also intrigued by your experience with the Christian "commune." I'm a traditional conservative Christian, but I've never come across such a group. While a bit strange to me, they didn't sound brainwashed. Ha, they actually just sounded like MKs (missionary kids), who can sometimes come off a bit quirky to those born and raised in the states. I went a small private Christian university, and some of the MKs were really easy to point out. One guy went barefoot everywhere, and used a unicycle as his primary transportation. Nothing wrong with it, but you certainly thought, "That guy has probably had a slightly different upbringing from me."Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16854584103424620018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9603781.post-61321392226989980282009-08-30T18:57:55.158-07:002009-08-30T18:57:55.158-07:00OK, first up: yes.

I completely agree with you about Public Enemies.<br /><br />I'd been really looking forward to it since having seen a really slick, stylish, dark & sexy little trailer a couple of months ago with tommy guns and cool hats and shit.<br /><br />Then I the film itself dragged. And the plot, true or not, didn't really go anywhere -loads of narrow escapes, some cool gunshot effects and then it's over and everyone's going home a bit disappointed. <br /><br />I actually came here, however to tell you I agree with your sentiments about Cake in concert.(http://brendoman.com/wendytime/2009/08/28/cake-at-the-pomona-fox-8-28-9)<br />Well said sir.<br /><br />You want a lecture, go to University. You want a sermon, go to church. You want silly, bubblegum pop rock, go see a band like Cake.DDHAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02749703508616474188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9603781.post-20266610095973462882009-08-28T18:34:13.288-07:002009-08-28T18:34:13.288-07:00Agreed... and you're welcome!Agreed... and you're welcome!lightyear8https://www.blogger.com/profile/04659605140077223223noreply@blogger.com
