Daylight Savings Time


Daylight Savings Time.  This is possibly the worst thing to do with time.  Okay, maybe not the worst.  The worst thing to do with time might be a ticking clock in a waiting room with no magazines to stare into.  Or it could be any clock in a hospital because it’s in a hospital.  Those are bad.  As is a clock being thrown in the air so that you can see time fly.  Besides all of those, Daylight Savings Time is surely the worst thing to do with time.

What do I have against Daylight Savings Time?  Oh...I’m not mad at it out of my own personal feelings.  Oh no.  Don’t you be thinking that way.  I don’t like Daylight Savings Time for the sake of all people living on this planet.  Okay, not all.  There are some places that do not celebrate Daylight Savings Time.  Those places are lucky.

When you fly a long distance in a plane, you may or may not suffer from jet lag.  I have never experienced this because I have never flown on a plane.  That’s another story for another time.  Not really a story, but you get it.  Anyway, jet lag causes you to act a fool for a while because you’re in a different time zone and it throws off your timing balance.  Right?  Correct me if I’m wrong, and I surely am.  Jet lag is horrible.  Do you know what’s worse?  Daylight Savings Time.  It changes the time for so many people.

We went back in time here, the other night.  Last night, in fact.  I lived the 1am hour twice.  Do you know what that does?  It throws off my sleep schedule.  I need to now stay up an hour later to stay up an hour later the next day.  It’s an endless hour laterness that will mess me up even more when I have to wake up early for Tuesday.  Woohoo.

This time change is not nearly as bad as the one that comes in the Spring.  Let’s all skip an hour of our lives and be screwy for a week because our sleeping is messed right the hell up.  That’s right Daylight Savings Time!  Switching in and out of you like a manwhore in and out of a prostitute is the worst time experience ever!  It’s so bad that the simile in the sentence before this didn’t even make sense!

I’ve reached the peak of this put down to Daylight Savings Time and I have no way to come down.  It sucks.  That’s all I have.  I have no concluding statement to the entire thing.  This was just a long, pointless, rambling rant on why I hate Daylight Savings Time.  Like most of anything I’ve ever written, I cannot stick the landing.  Like Daylight Savings Time can’t stick in the hearts of people who hate it!

Is "Real Steel" Like "Over the Top"?

When I was going through my weekly movie binge a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon two movies that I had never seen before that tackled a very similar story.   It was an odd thing to have happen because I didn’t know of any similarities between the two movies.   The first was Real Steel, a movie about a man who participates in robot boxing while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   The second was Over the Top, a movie about a man who participates in arm wrestling while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   Similar?   I think so. Let’s begin with Real Steel.   I watched this one because, why the hell not?   I quite enjoyed the movie and by the end I was rooting for Hugh Jackman’s character to help his robot, Atom, to a victory.   The thing to point out about Real Steel is how good the visual effects were.   I wasn’t expecting too much going in, but I thought they masterfully crafted each robot in a way that it entirely fit its surroundings and didn’t

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 8: The Power Stealer

Image
Last time we sat down with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Tommy was going through some serious stuff.   His powers were running low because Lord Zedd was targeting him.   He felt hopeless.   His friends were comforting him.   There was also a Robo Goat trying to take a powerful sword and use it against the Earth.   There were fights all over the place and an emotional hook that was unmatched in any episode that wasn’t in a multi-part arc. This episode, there might be follow-up to the Tommy storyline.   It would be nice to see more of the struggle with his powers.   Right now, that’s the one throughline that has been playing out.   II hope this episode continues to have some sort of meaning to the overall story, instead of being a self-contained and meaningless.   The show needs to grow and evolve, with a storyline that builds to something significant.   Having episodes that keep the story at a standstill is boring.   The story needs to move forward.   Will this episode d

First Time Watches: March 2019

Image
I’ve been writing these first-time watch posts for a long time. They are a chronicle, month by month, of the movies that are new to me. They could be theatrical releases or they could be older movies that I’m finally getting around to. Either way, they’re fresh to my eyes, never having gone through them before. With that comes pleasant surprise, a great experience, disappointment, or frustration. There could be many more emotions as well. These posts share my emotions from having watched the movies with whoever decides to read them. I fell behind on these posts a long time ago and have been trying to work my way through them to eventually catch up. This post will cover March 2019 and the movies I saw for the first time over the course of that month. Any rewatches will not be a part of this post. If they aren’t first time watches, they don’t count. March was a month full of all kinds of movies. There were good and bad, like usual, and a variety of genres, also like usual. Th
