Grizzel and Jeezy's Wedding!

Friday, September 5th, 2008 saw the wedding of Grace Lee and Jeff Yee. It was held at The Manor on Carrying Place Golf Resort in Kettleby, Ontario. It was a nice outdoor wedding (a first for me), where the weather held up although patches of grey lurked in the skies.

One of the previous pastors (Mike Davis) at my home church conducted the ceremonies while our more recent previous pastor gave a short sermon about the roles of husbands and wives. It was spoken beautifully and with respect.

My friends Keith, Tracy, and Camille did superbly with the music. They played one worship song, How Great is Our God, as well as a song by Michael Bublé, I think it was called Everything.

The reception and dinner was held indoors at The Manor with an open bar to guarantee a rowdy crowd. After a few drinks, a few of us started playing a card game that Pastor Jeff brought to kill about 2 hours before the dinner started.

The dinner was quite exquisite with my favourite being the fillet mignon... wrapped in bacon! I'm a simple man, I'm not much for fine dining, but this was pretty awesome. They offered dessert after the main dessert outside the hall, with crepes and chocolate fondue... ie. greatness in a fountain.

They night ended with dancing til 1 in the morning. Me and my friends tore up the floors with wacky moves, conga lines to Dancing Queen, and other shenanigans. It was a good night of fun.

THE ARTIST!!!!!!!

The Artist is director Michael Hazanavicius ode to the silent films of yesteryear. Not only focus on a silent movie actor and movie making, but it in itself is also a silent movie. The movie follows a silent movie actor named George Valentin through the rise and fall of his career. At the start of the film, we see George as this superstar celebrity; he loves the glitz and glamour of being a famous actor and soaks in all the attention he can get. He loves having his photos taken and being adorned on the front pages of newspapers. He is THAT kind of celebrity. At the premiere event of his latest movie, he bumps into one Peppy Miller – a young woman with big ambitions and dreams in Hollywoodland. The lives of the two intersect and an attraction immediately blossoms. The romance could only go so far as Valentin is a (happily?) married man. George’s superstardom reaches its height at a precarious time. And as the 1920s are ushered out, so are silent movies. The new decade brings w...

The League of Denial (2013)

The topic of concussions in sports is a dialogue that’s been growing the past number of years. Do a search on ‘concussions’ and ‘football’ and you’ll get several thousand hits on the controversy that’s surrounded the sport. It’s a challenging topic as the research is all relatively new, and the topic itself challenges the mentality and philosophy adopted by football loving Americans. Now, I’m not a fan of football or NFL but when I saw this book lying at the local bookstore, my interest was piqued. Although I’m not a fan of football, those that know me know that I’m an unabashed fan of prowrestling. Talks about concussions are also quite a hot topic even within the prowrestling sub-culture. Earlier this year, one of the hottest wrestlers of the current era, Daniel Bryan, retired early at the age of 34 due to a history of concussion related issues. Interestingly, he was not permitted to return to the ring due to the disapproval by WWE’s medic...

Finally, the Xbox 360!!

So as I mentioned in a previous post, I received an Xbox 360 for Christmas from my dad. A great present it was! I've had 3 weeks to enjoy it so I guess I can give you my impressions of it now. First the controller. In truth, I haven't felt a controller this comfortable in my gaming life before. As a child who grew up on the 8-bit generation, with just a directional pad and 2 buttons, there was quite a learning curve getting used to using two analog sticks at the same time. You might say, "Hey Lam, how bout the PS2? You have that machine, and that has analog sticks". True, but of the twenty or so games I have for that, all of them used either only 1 analog stick, or allowed the option to switch on to the directional pad. Using 2 sticks at the same time was at first just uncomfortable. This made for all sorts of trouble as I was playing Gears of War . Luckily for me, I had computer controlled teammates that watched my back. I love the Media Center capabilities...
