Call me Don Cackmandu

Since I have no life I watched the Godfather Trilogy this weekend. It started out as me just putting a movie in and watching it as I folded clothes. I was sucked into the make believe world of the mafia by Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo.
I haven't watched these movies in a very long time. I think it has been just a lack fo time. Each movie is about 3 hours long. My wife is Italian and has never seen the movies. She doesn't want to see the stereotype of Italians.

I must say that now I have watched them all again and have them fresh in my mind, Godfather part II is the best. If you haven't seen these movies you need to. A big part of cinema history. I am now going to be watching the bonus DVD about how it was made....basically the behind the scenes of the trilogy. I was up way late last night and hardly put a dent into it so I will hit that up over the next few days.

Other than that there is nothing really new going in my life. It's Martin Luther King (MLK) day and everything is closed. I almost wonder how America can be strong with all the days we give ourselves off. Nothing against MLK! He stood for great things and did great things to progress the civil rights movement. I am saying that I think it's crazy that my apartment office is closed today because it's MLK day. Just seems that we are finding more ways to take time off of work and wondering if it needs to be that way.

I understand the federal gov't get's all of these "holidays" off and even banks. I am fine with that. But when other people and types of business' start to do this I think it's insane. I just don't get it. To each their own!
