Well Its the end of the holidays now back to work tomorrow. Which I must admit I can't wait for as I'm over the holidays and work will give me something to do with my time plus I will get some income again. Also need to start working on my TAFE staff again Groan but as I need to finish this course off so I can move on with my life I shouldn't be complaining. Also apparently I only have half a year to go.
There is only one thing I regret not doing during the holidays and that's not going down to Melbourne and seeing an old friend Kenneth and his dad and sister. Just going to have to wait for next holiday's
This heat is really annoying that my brain feels like mush and it's hard to think of what to write.
Also another thing I can't wait for is bible study to start again as its always fun talking about the bible with friends.
I guess that will be all for now. I need more water.

Barefoot Gen (1983) a Anime review
A few nights ago I decided to open a a book about Anime movies. After looking at a few pages I have made it my goal to watch all the films in this book think of it as the 101 or more anime films to watch before you die. The first movie listed is a 1983 anime film called Barefoot Gen.
What it's about:
Barefoot Gen is about a boy and his families life leading up to and through the real life tragedy of the Hiroshima Bomb.
The visuals:
the Visuals in this film are both terrifying and fantastic because this film tells it how it was. Especially when you see the bomb drop and explode then seeing people (for a lack of a better term) melt. I felt a sense of shock and horror when I saw that I had to keep reminding myself this really happened.
I guess that's why I enjoy these types of films to remind us that not everything in history was smart or funny. That their are parts of history that are so dark that we need to remember them rather then sweep them under the rug and forget. This is one of them.
This film will make your heart race and make you stare in complete horror but that's the point.
Final Thoughts.
If your an anime fan or a movie critic in general I really recommend seeing this film. Only if you think you can stomach it. I am not kidding on the effect this film may have on you. I really enjoyed it.
ON to the next film.

Red Dog (2011) film Review
I saw the movie Red Dog while I was in the blue mountains.
A basic summary of the plot:
It's about a Dog called Red Dog. Who meets this community in an outback Australian town called Dampier and completely changes their lives for the better. Everyone who meets Red Dog loves him. A Trucker named Thomas arrives at a pub in this town, when he enters the pub he sees some silhouettes of some men one who looks like he is holding a gun, Thinking that a murder is about to take place Thomas runs into the room to see the man who has the gun holding it towards a sick dog, The men unable to do the euthanasia leave the room along with Thomas and back to the bar where they talk about the story of Red Dog.
My Thoughts:
This film is most definitely an emotional thrill ride, all the way though.
The story is in depth and wonderful trust me anyone who does not have a cold heart will get water under the eyes.
As the story of Red Dog is told in this little pub to both Thomas and the audience, you start too feel an emotional connection to the characters and the dog, It's also based on a true story and a book.
The dog is beautiful to look at.
If you have not seen this film yet go buy or rent it you won't be disappointed.
I won't be forgetting Red Dog for a while that's for sure.
Just one tip: you may want to have some tissues handy.
I don't have a favourite scene or line for this film as its all good.

21 and a few goals.
Right my birthday was a few days ago. Now I'm 21 and there are a few things I want to do this year.
1. Finish TAFE. I am officially over it and just want it too end. So I am going to have to work hard at it.
2. Start working full time. The sooner I start working full time the better. Not only will I have a better income. I will also then be able to concentrate on other important things.
3. Find a Girlfriend. OK I have been ignoring this one for far too long now and now that I'm 21 I think I need to concentrate on this one a bit more now.
4. Ride my bike more. Again I need to do more exercise and using a bike is a good place to start off.
5. Join a gym. This one follows 4. I got a slipped disk last year and It wrecked the way I walked. So joining a gym is probably the best answer for it.
So their you go a few goals for me for this year. Now too start work on them.
