Wild Hogs

A comedy about an adventure for four mid-aged men. The reason I wanted to see the movie is somehow I believe suburban bikers are part of American culture, the part that I will never get. I have seen some bikers around Indiana, or on the way I was heading somewhere else.The history of Motorcycle Club (MC)was starting from 1903 in New York; but after World War II, Some pilots who used to service during the wartime, wanted the same thrills they experience in the war. Of course nowadays the culture and the meaning of MC are totally different from before; however, what has never changed is the goals to pursuit their own freedom and demostration of brave.

The four characters: Woody Stevens (John Travolta), Doug Madsen (Tim Allen), Bobby Davis (Martin Lawrence), and Dudley Frank (William H. Macy) are all middle-aged men, and they are all encountering bottleneck of their life. They decide to initiate a journey, and through the journey, they have found the passion to their life again.

Another reason I went to see the movice was because of William H. Macy. He is a good acter. "Fargo" was the first movie I met this outstanding actor in 1996. The was also the moment I fell in love with movies. In ten years from then, he tried various roles: Cops, good fathers, captains, etc. He always makes people he is a good old man, and very easy to go along with. Maybe next time, he will try some negtive characters, like bad guys, or mean bankers.

Tough Call (Part I)

Tristan called again and again; and the opportunity to change my career is knocking. Hamlet: to be, or not to be.

Dad is like disapproved about my changing jobs so soon, and that is a real concern because I am not even sure if I change my job to F company, I am going to stay longer than the period I work for A company.

Dad, as a senior manger of his company, proposed me five prongs to weigh two different career paths; 1. Salary; 2. Career Development; 3.stability; 4. environment; and 5. fitness. The analysis is provided as follows;
1. Salary: I monthly fixed salary II stocks and bonus III other benefit and welfare.
2. Career Development: I connection with my expertise; II Personality of Boss; III incentive of two different jobs III impact to the future career.
3. stability: I short term-at least 3-5 years; long term-5-10 years. II If the position is in the main core of the company, or the branch of the company III permanent or temporary; IV whether the Boss will stay long.
4. Environment: Life/work
5. Fitness: do I fit the position?

There are a couple of people I would like to know their opinions toward this matter: Dad and Mom of course; Franckie (Even though I had a hug fight with him last night and I feel sorry about my acting out!); Jack and Nancy; Chrisdy's classmate, who is now working in the Legal Affair Office of F company.

I just hope that Tristan allows me more time to gather all these information and opinions.

Make a Memory-- Bon Jovi

Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries

How's your life, it's been a while
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave

If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be

You wanna make a memory?

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had.
It's bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing I don't wanna ask

If you go now, I'll understand
If you stay, hey, I've got a plan
We're gonna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines

You wanna make a memory?

If you don't know if you should stay
And you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be

You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines

You wanna make a memory?
