So we made the annual pilgrimage to the circus on Saturday night with our free tickets. My wife's Grandfather used to be in the Shriner's so we get comped general admission tickets for free.
Lexi is still too young to understand what is going on. She had more fun sitting on her aunt's lap and playing with some cheap neon bracelets. I don't really get anything out of it...but this time I did come away with some questions.
So I was curious as to how a circus functioned. I mean it is obvious people doing things, and animals and the such...but how does it make money? I mean everything is a business and has to make money or else there would be no reason for it right?

I work long hours and it is often easier for the Mrs. to get stuff. Well the other night she asked me if I would get some stuff to make chili on the way home.
I bought some ground turkey (cheaper than ground beef), knock off tomato sauce, and knock off chili seasonings.

Here is a news story that came out last week (I like to let things "stew" for a while before going off half cocked).
(CNN) -- Fannie Mae said it will set aside the loan of a woman who shot herself as sheriff's deputies tried to evict her from her foreclosed home.
Addie Polk, 90, of Akron, Ohio, became a symbol of the nation's home mortgage crisis when she was hospitalized after shooting herself at least twice in the upper body Wednesday afternoon.

So I worked for my former employer for 6+ years. Gave them blood, sweat, and tears. They were my first professional job and right now accounts for 80% of my professional life and thus makes up a large portion of my resume.
One of the products I designed and help build was an online event registration system. When I was in the hospital with my dad he asked me if I would help him setup an event on it that was coming up. So I e-mailed and was told to create a new account instead of using one that the organization already had. I thought nothing of it and created the account, then proceeded to setup the event.
As I was "test registering" for the event I noticed a new feature they added (likely was "demanded" by a client and of course we could never say no). Basically it was a running ticker that floated and told you as you progressed how much your registration was currently costing.

I am adamantly against the bailout (was on Friday when everyone else was for it...now you are all on my bandwagon after having a weekend to think about it).
But here is why they say we need it. The loan markets have basically dried up...they are not loaning people any money because they are saddled with debt. People that need to sell their house cannot because no one can buy. They lower their price, and the cycle continues.
It is thought that if the debt was no longer on the banks books (they sell the debt to the Gov't for pennies on the dollar) that they will then be free to loan more money and thus restarting the housing market somewhat.

First of all...wow have I not blogged in awhile. Well I guess that means no one has missed me. 
So this blog will be a little off topic. Normally I try to stick to the task at hand (comics), but this is something that I just find interesting.
The other day I was reading an article that talks about how the Majority (whites) will become the Minority by 2050 in the US. We won't become the minority to one group, but to all groups combined.

As with all of these movies I have been able to score sneak preview tickets and can see them days before the rest of you. Because of this I shall ruin it all for you by telling you this.
Are you ready for it?
Are you sure?

Before I get into my review of the movie after I saw it last night...let me preface my review with a "setup".
I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to go. My wife doesn't get home until 6:30 and they start seating at 7. So that would mean that I would be late in line. Luckily I had a co-worker going and asked her if her family could save me a seat or place in line and she said yes.
So I show up 10 minutes after seating opened, and about 1 minute after it closed. I walked to the front of the line and told the guy that I had already been in, I was just in the bathroom. I technically had a seat saved so it wasn't like I was cutting.

So I got wind that it was going to be on display for a few hours early today at a local theater.
Lucky for me I was going to work from home and this theater is near me (where I see most of my movies anyways).
I grabbed my camera and headed over. You can see the photo gallery here: Batman's Bat-Pod Gallery

Ok...so I saw this one last night.
I have never read the series but the previews looked decent to me, it stars Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman (2 of my favorites), and it is a comic book movie. So this meant that it is a must see. Plus it doesn't hurt that I worked it handing out free passes so I got to get there later and save a prime seat.
After watching this movie I would have to compare it to 300 meets NY and the millenium. It was a very graphic and VERY violent movie.
