Optimus Prime's Oscar Worthy Performance

I hope everyone had a great 4^th of July.  I know I did.  Friends and family made the long trek to pay homage to the Great Grill at my home as is customary for the 4^th of July.   Hamburgers reigned supreme with not a single guest interested in the charms of hot dogs.  I can’t say that I blame them, as I found myself shaking from the meat-sweats after my third cheeseburger.

We had the normal 4^th fair with hamburgers, anti-pasta salad, blueberry crumble, baked beans, apple pie and ice cream, cookies, potato chips, and the smattering of fireworks in the distance.  All while the Rays got shutout on T.V. in uninspired fashion.

But it was fun celebrating the 4^th with family and friends and I even received some well wishes from my international pals.  My buddy Thomas Humphreys, who is Welsh, sent me a happy 4^th message on Facebook.  Here is the exchange which I found humorous in a Braveheart meets The Patriot sort of way:

Word.  We should definitely have a “War of 1812” celebration too if it means more hamburgers all in the name of being American.

JULY 3RD

Arguably better than July 4^th.  Why?  Because I saw Transformers: Dark of the Moon with my older brother Chris.  We watched the cartoon growing up so the last few movies have been another trek towards a Mecca of sorts as we meet up at the local cinema and partake in the glory that is Transformers. 

This was my brother’s first time watching a movie in 3D and he was in awe of the difference it made.  At one point I looked over at this 32 year old man, father, husband, attorney extraordinaire and saw him with his thick lens 3D glasses on, staring up at the screen with a box of sweet tarts in one hand a Monster Energy Drink in the other hand, mouth hanging open.

Unfortunately, he was not able to make his way to my 4^th of July gathering so I had to settle for this text the next day:

Piece of Poop (yes he is in my phone that way):  Oscar worthy performance by optimus.  Still thinking about it.

I have to say I absolutely agree.  IF he doesn’t win, its just another instance where the committee is showing animation or CGI bias.

Also, the new transformer girl, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is way hotter than Megan Fox.  See below:

And if you disagree, I am pretty sure my brother will challenge you to a nerd slap fight as soon as he is done watching all three Transformers movies in a row.
