First things first.  Guardians of the Galaxy - 9.8/10

This movie is the best of the year so far.  It has a fantastic script and every single minute of the movie is jam packed with smart entertainment.  A+++++++++

Sara has decided to use her last month to hike the Camino de Santiago in Spain.  It will be 30 days of gorgeous scenery, tasty wine, and hopefully meeting amazing people.   If you would like a glimpse into what she is doing you can do a couple of things.  Follow her YouTube videos and watch the movie The Way. 

Had my 36th birthday this past weekend.  We decided to head downtown London for some karaoke nonsense.  We were all dressed in what can be best described as Celebrity Rehab characters.  It was overall a good time.  The dude that hosted the karaoke event didn't like being showed up by a spirited crew.  He locked down our chances to sing and allowed all of his buddies to sing.  He cutoff songs early and was basically the fun police to keep the bar in a mediocre melancholy state.

Was invited to a wedding as well on the Friday.  It was gorgeous.  Beautiful weather, and an energetic dancing crew of family.  Great time had by all.

Expendables 3  - 6.7/10
The Den - 5.7/10

There is always that feeling that anybody that took martial arts at a young age was always going to be like Van Damme when they got into school fights.  They were going to knock out the school bully with a round house kick to his giant cranium.  This never happened.

A's and Tigers are loading up for the playoffs.  It was so weird to see an actual baseball trade.  Lester and Gomes to the A's for Cespedes.  These are players that are very important and not in the minor leagues.  What is going on?

Spoon and Bear in Heaven both have albums out this week.  I will be reviewing shortly.

I am not sure how anybody wears wife beaters.  I wore one out to be Right Said Fred on the weekend.  I was always concerned with openness of my arm pit and the amount of dancing that I was doing was going to cause air corruption.

The Jays stood pat at the trade deadline.  It's a little frustrating, but if you couldn't get Lester or Price, why overpay for Bartolo Colon or Ian Kennedy?

There are two types of people at sporting events.  Ones that know the game well, are relaxed, and know the right time to clap for the team to succeed.  The others are Americans.

Why would you ever make a cup that isn't dishwasher ready and is too skinny to fit your hand into?

While growing up I can't believe that it never donned on me that old video game systems would be worth money.

Off to Detroit next week to see a couple of games at Comerica.  It goes with my system of seeing aces whenever I can.  Since the Tigers have Price, Verlander, Scherzer, and Sanchez there is a good chance that I might see a couple of aces.

Things are a lot easier in golf when you don't swing as hard as humanly possible at every single golf ball.

Afternoon naps are more and more brilliant each and every day that I live.

There are things that are inevitable while working retail.  Having a Croatian man having extremely uncomfortable conversations with every single person that works there is one of them.
