Nipple Piercings, Rockfest, and more…

What is this world coming to? Yes, of course, that question alone is such a cliché, but it seems to be a frequent question asked. Body piercings are becoming an issue with traveling? Body piercings might be considered in connection with terrorist activity?

That is a load of shit! I have 17 piercings. The same type of piercing in both my own nipples are the same type I wear in my ears. They are surgicial steel captive bead rings. They are far from sharp, I know, I have dealt with them since I was a teen.

The case in particular says that TSA has a right to ask for the piercings to be removed. I have been on several flights since 2001, and even in the past year that it is bogus that the woman from Texas was forced to remove hers. A visual inspection should have been fine. I have NEVER been told to remove my piercings. They do not even register on the detector and I have NEVER had any troubles than having to remove my shoes for inspection.

I am really disappointed with how things are heading with who says that body piercings are in any relation to national security. Someone tell the idiot behind the desk to quit dreaming up Misson Impossible scenarios as it is not going to happen that a piercing is harmful to a plane full of passengers.

On a lighter note, I went to see the movie 21 on Friday night with the guy I have been seeing. He even cooked me a dinner before the movie. Anyway, the movie was great. I am usually confident when a movie has Kevin Spacey is in it. His cynical humor and wit really work well for the characters that are in each movie he has acted. Kate Bosworth does a fairly good job, although she suits the romantic side. I usually am not impressed with her, but she did a good job playing off her role. Our leading man of the movie is Jim Sturgess, a very cute and innocent boy next door who is wickedly intelligent. Attending MIT, he comes in contact eventually with a group of individuals who count cards and make money going to Las Vegas. Jim, or his character, Ben, joins because he needs the money to pay for Harvard. The plot ensues and he goes from being dull to having the time of his life…. that is until he is caught by casino security, Cole Williams, who is played by Laurence Fishburne. If anyone remembers, Laurence was Morpheus in The Matrix Trilogy. Although the movie was a bit more hollywood glammed than perhaps it should have been, it kept my attention throughout the whole 2 hours. I recommend it as a must see, and I am definitely going to be buying this bad boy when it comes out on DVD.

As you can see, I am trying to liven up my blog. It is too plain. I am going to be adding movie reviews to my website. I enjoy watching movies when I can, and I know personally that reading reviews is a must beforehand.

Tonight I am going to the Inaugural Granada Concert here in downtown Mount Vernon, Illinois.There are 11 rock bands to play and I am excited. I am going to try to bring my camera and see if I can take pictures of the concert. I may even try to talk to a few people, possibly bands. I think I would like to try to introduce some bands on my site. I enjoy music and even more so, concerts. Stay tuned. EDIT: Here is my summary of the Granada Rockfest.

New theme at Blondish.net, Waterlily. It is simple, but I am probably going to work on it more as I want the div layers to have the same curve as the main content area. Yes, I really like this format and I will be working more with it. On that note, I will also have more layouts, both for WordPress and for MySpace soon.

By the way, comment below and I will return comments. I KNOW people are enjoying the ringtones, patterns, and more, so be a sweetie and leave me a message.
