What game? I usually go back to Charlotte end of month each month to collect rent from my tenants in Charlotte.


Thinking about the OKC game in late Feb. You don't want to come with me anyway. My anxiety is terrible. Wouldn't be fun at all for you. My anxiety/panic disorder makes Royce White seem like Joel Osteen or any other public speaker

Thats rough man. I have anxiety issues too, although probably not nearly as bad as yours. Id get wasted with you at a game anyways if I didn't live in Indiana.

First time in the U.S. coming up in a few weeks. I get the privilege to watch the warriors lay waste to the knicks at MSG while I'm there too. I hope Curry and Thompson actually suit up for the game.

They will probably play but just won't be needed long.

It's a great war movie, specifically a realistic look at Fallujah and Navy Seals. My Uncle, a Vietnam war vet served in the Marines and his favorite war movie is Full Metal Jacket - he insists that one most closely reminded him of the things he saw/experienced over there fighting the vietcong. This is the first realistic look at the Iraq War. Part of that realism is soldier who doesn't question the war and can't fathom why civilians back home are not so enthusiastic.

Full Metal Jacket was fantastic. Poor Private Pile.

I bought half a tank of gas today for $14. I mean, it has freed up so much money for everyone it's unreal. I'm more likely to splurge at the health store or food shopping at farmers markets. You'd have to think more people are buying things they typically hold off on, which raises money through sales tax and helps businesses.

Im not the biggest fan of war films but I love The Thin Red Line, Apocalypse Now, and Full Metal Jacket. They are the rholy trinity of war films imo.

My favorite war movie of all time is Unbroken, one of the ones on my list. It's a true story of a WWII bombardier who survived a plane crash, 47 days on a raft in the ocean and a Japanese POW camp. Throughout he undergoes a religious transformation as well. The book was supposedly just amazing.

My favorite movie from my list though was St. Vincent with Bill Murray. He actually balances his dark humor and goofiness with serious acting in a serious role where tragedy becomes comical. It's a brilliant film and one of my favorite of all time.

1) Shawshank Redemption
2) Django Unchained
3) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
4) St. Vincent
5) Weird Science

MI, you ever been to Lenny Boy in Charlotte? They're an organic kombucha brewery, they do regular kombucha and also kombucha wild ales. Big fan, we go through a growler a week.

I really like Bill Murrays recent work in independant/under the radar films. Ill have to check out St. Vincent. I completely forgot about that movie. Dark comedy + Bill Murray seems like a great combination.

I've been out of Charlotte for like 4 years now other than occasional visits and for monthly upkeep with my property, so it must new(er). I'm not there long enough to get organized and get out typically.

I'm a big fan of fermented drinks so I will definitely check it. I think it's fascinating you can take something like sugar that can wreak so much havoc in our bodies and feed it to bacteria who can do so much good if they're friendly species. They fart gas, which adds natural carbonation like soda and poop vitamins we can use such as K2, a hard-to-find version of vitamin K that doesn't exist in any plant based food. K2 is one of the key helpers in activation of vitamin D, along with vitamin A, Mg and some others but those are typically easier to obtain. What's left is the flavor of the fruit absent the sugar. It's amazing, distinct and unlike anything out there. I can't get my roommate here in New Bern to finish even one bottle and he's addicted to the aspartame and caffeine in diet soda. He's also a gamer who falls asleep in his computer desk chair at 4 am. I paid $3.50 for it at Harris Teeter so I'm a little pissed off but it was his Christmas present, along with a $10 Dunkin' Donut card.

Kombucha is alive!

We lost to NC State because they literally couldn't miss. I can take a loss like that. This catastrophe of a first half only being up one at home to Miami is ridiculous.

Either this guard for Miami is really good or our defense really is just terrible.

Dukes offense is way to predictable.
