what Ive been doing today

I've gotten some stuff done today. I've gotten some schoolwork done and studied some for exams. i had to do some laundry and I got that done. They need to add extra washers and dryers to where I live as sometimes it is hard to do laundry when you want to. Also sometimes I dont have enough quarters so I have to wait until i have enough quarters before I can do laundry. I kind of feel like renting a movie. i dont know what i will rent. I'll probably rent a comedy. I haven't eaten lunch yet but am kind of hungry so I'll probably get something to eat in a little while. I haven't been outside in a couple of hours, but it was as cold as I thought it would be but at least it wasn't raining. It has probably warmed up since then though. I went and got some breakfast and watched a little tv. Its nice that the weekend is here. I will be sleeping in tomorrow or at least try to. I dont need to stay up too late over the weekend since exams. Tomorrow I will probably be watching the games and studying. There isnt much stuff on tv right now I feel like watching. I do need to get gas for my car. Its really cool that gas isnt as expensive as it was. It was so expensive for a while that I never really wanted to gas up my car. I usually wait until the light comes on and then go get gas up.

woke up early again

Even though I don't have class for a while today, i still woke up early because I'm have been so used to waking up early this semester. Just a few more days till the semester is over. I have plenty of stuff to do today. I have plenty of schoolwork that i need to start on. Im pretty tired this morning. I may have to go grab some coffee to get me going. Right now, I just don't have the enrgy to go get the coffee but im sure i will ahve the energy to get the coffee in a little while. I haven't been outside this morning. It is probably very cold, just as it was yesterday. That makes me even more hessitant to want to go get some coffee as I just dont feel like feeling the cold weather right now. Hopefully it will warm up some in a little while. My car has been acting kind of funny. I hope that there is nothing wrong with my car. this would not be a very good time for something to happen to it. My car has a pretty dependable automobile. However it has a whole lot of miles on it, as my parents drove it for a while first. I dont know how many miles are left with it. I just really do not want to get it fixed right now, but I know that stuff just happens. I just got the oil changed about 3 weeks agao and everything seemed to alright with it. However, my car was making some funny nosies last night when I was driving it. If there is something wrong with it, hopefully it will be something that can easily be fixed in an inexpensive way.
I guess i better get it checked out and make sure that it is working alright.

gift cards for Christmas

I'm trying to think of some items for my family. I guess there are many different potential Christmas gift items out there.I don't know what to get. Lets see. They like getting gift cards. But, I'm not a big gift card person since a lot of times gift cards are not fully used up. Companies make lots of money on gift cards every year. Its easy to use a gift card a few times, but then forget about them even though there is money still left on them. There have been times when I have been given a gift card as a present and used it a few times, but then forgot about it until it expired. Its so easy to forget. It seems like most stores sell gift cards. I guess it seasy to sell gift cards. Last year i received a gift card for barnes and noble. I think it was like a fifty dollar card. I remember I bought a book and a couple of magazines with it. I may even still have a little left on that one. I'll have to spend the rest unless its expired.
Last year i waited later than i should have to get my family good presents. However, I ended up getting them good presents, as they were happy with their gifts. Christmas is always such a joyous and celebrative day. It is definitely the most wonderful day of the year. It is my favorite day of the year. It is deifnitely a special time.

free write

This going to be a free write. It is really cold and windy outside. It would be nice if it was warmer. Its not much fun going outside in the cold. I hope my car isn't iced over tomorrow. Thats not much fun having to wait for the ice to thaw. Its also isnt that much fun at first getting into a really cold car. I try to crank up the heat really fast. Its especially not that much fun when it is raining and really cold. Its better when the temperature is about even. I need to wear my jacket more often. I'm flipping the channels right now. theres a lot of stuff on tv right now. I guess there always is though. There should be some good games on Saturday. The conference championship games are always good. Its the end of the football season. There should be some really exciting games. I need to do some laundry. I need to wake up early tomorrow to get some work done. i guess theres always work that needs to be done. i was just listening to some music. Pretty good songs. Im getting hungry again. I may have to go get a quick snack from Wendy's. I dont know what I'll get. That sounds good. I probably won't get a frosty since its so cold outside. I need to be thinking of what I want to get my family for Christmas. I need to get them some gifts. I'll have to find out from them what gifts they want for Christmas.

places I'd like to visit

There are many places I've never been to I'd like to visit someday. I've never been to France and would someday like to visit Paris. I wouldn't mind visiting Australia someday. I'd also like to visit Cancun, Mexico someday. As far as areas in the U.S. I'd like to visit someday, I would like to visit areas in the Northwest such as Portland or Seattle. It would be a lot of fun to visit places I've never been to before. I would like to see other parts of the country as well as other parts of the world.
I would hope to be able to take some vacations to places I've never been to ebfore when I'm older. Vacations are a lot of fun. Like most people, I enjoy taking vacations. I enjoy traveling a lot. It would be fun to see and enjoy the culture of places I've never been to before.
I just got done eating some rice krispies. What a delcious snack. I feel like getting some chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chip cookies are a delciious snack as well. Im watching a little tv. I need to get some dinner somewhere and study for exams. Christmas break is just around the corner and I'm ready for a break.
i'm watching some Adam sandler movie I;ve never seen before. it is pretty good but isn't one of his best. I need to get some groceries.

very funny moments from Christmas Vacation

Anybody who has seen National lampoon's Christmas Vacation knows that it is packed full of hilarious moments. I decided to write in this blog about the some of the many hilarious moments from the movie.
One very funny moment is when the Griswald family is driving to get the Christmas tree and they end up getting stuck underneath a truck. It is very funny. Another very funny moment is when they find the Christmas tree they want but it is way too big. Another funny aspect of the movie is the relationship between Clark Griswald and his neighbors. It is funny as they are so different. Another funny aspect of the movie is the relationship between Clark's family and his wife Ellen's family. Another very funny moment in the movie is when Eddy arrives. Eddy is hilarious and adds even more humor to this movie. Randy Quaid plays the character Eddy.The character Uncle Lewis in this movie is also very funny. Uncle Lewis adds more hilarity to the Griswald family reuninon. It is also very funny when Clark gets locked in the attic. When Clark's tree crashes into his neighbor house is also funny. Clark's reaction to his Christmas bonus also is a very funny situation.

Things I plan on doing over the break

I decided to write about things that I plan doing over the break for this blog. The break is going to be a whole lot of fun. I can't wait. It will be nice to be done with exams. First, I plan on catching up on sleep. It will be nice to be able to sleep in and to get lots of hours of sleep. I am behind on sleep and look forward to getting lots of sleep. Right now I am relying on lots of coffee in order to stay awake.
I plan on seeing and hanging out with buddies who will be home. Everybody goes on their own paths so it will be nice to catch up.
The Holiday season usually brings out some good movies in the theatre. While I do not have a whole lot of money to spend on movies, as I want to save what I have to buy presents, I will probably try to catch a good movie. I have been very busy lately and do not know what is supposed to be the big movie of this season.
If i can, I'm also going to take some kind of trip over the break. This may just be to a close city such as New Orleans.
I'm looking forward to New Years. New Years Eve is always a lot of fun. New Years day is always pretty cool with all the bowl games.

random blog

I was trying to think of something to write about for this blog, and I just went to Sonic to grab a bite to eat, so I decided to write about the delicious different menu items that can be found at Sonic. It is another one of my favorite fast food restaurants because there are so many different menu items to choose from. When i go there, I usually get either a burger or the chicken tender meal. A lot of times, I also might get some cheese sticks. Its the only fast food restaurant that I can think of that offers cheese sticks. Of course the desert menu there is very unique. I really like their chocolate sundaes. They are delicious. You can't go wrong with their chocolate malts and shakes either.
Back Yard Burgers is also a good drive-thru restaurant. While it is a little expensive, it does offer pretty good burgers. When i go there, I usually order the 1/3 pound burger with cheese. I usually get that meal with the seasoned fries. Their fries are good. Their chicken tender meal is good there too.
A lot of people like chick fila as well. Their nuggets are really good. I really like their milk shakes. They are pretty good.

Holiday season

Like a lot of people, this is my favorite time of the year. This time of the year is always a lot of fun, with the exception of the cold weather. I am definitely looking forward to Christmas break. It will be nice to catch up on sleep, and just relax. It will be nice to have some good home cooked meals. Thanksgiving break was a lot of fun, but was just not long enough. One of my favorite things to do during this time of the year is to have a nice hot cup of hot chocolate. One movie that Ialways like to watch during this time of the year is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. This movie is absoultely hilarious and this is the time of the year to watch it. It is very entertaining to watch the Griswold family during the Christmas season. Whats good about that movie is that non only is it full of non stop laughter, it is also not over the top silly.
Another one of my favorite movies during this season is Will Ferrel's movie Elf. This movie is hialrious just like most of Will Ferrel's movies. It is another great movie to watch during the holiday season.
One time during this time of the year as a little kid, I went with my family to go skiing in Breckenridge, Colorado. Another family came with us and it was a whole lot of fun. We stayed at the other family's condo and I learned how to ski. While of course it was absolutely freezing, skiing was definitely a lot of fun.

Friday, November 21, 2008

These are movies I've seen and didn't think were good. One movie I thought I wasn't very good was The Happening. While I usually like mark Wahlberg movies, I didn't like this movie. Another movie I thought was terrible was Darkness Falls. I saw this movie a long time ago and it was supposed to be good, but was pretty bad. It was not a good horror movie.
Willard was another terrible movie. I saw this a while back and it was pretty terrible. My friend and I both thought it wasn't any good. It was very strange and didn't make much sense. It definitely isn't worth seeing.
I also didn't like Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights. I know some people liked this movie, but I didn't like it. I am an Adam Sandler fan and this is my least favorite Adam Sandler movie. His movie are usually pretty hilarious, but I didn't think this was very funny. It was just too silly. My friend didn't like this movie either.
I saw a movie on tv the other day called Dark City and it was a bad movie. It came out in like the late 90s. It didn't make sense. I had to quit watching it since it was
There are also a couple of tv shows I have never really liked that much.Oe tv show I didn't like was the show Dharma and Greg. It wasn't my favorite tv show. The rereuns of it still come on tv a lot, but I never watch. I never really thought it was very and never thought it was a good tv show. I'm sure some people liked it but it definitely wasn't a favorite of mine.
I also neve really liked the show Frasier very much. I know it was real popular and was on the air for a while, but I never became a fan of it. I didn't think it was ever that funny and didn't think the storylines were ever that great. I think the reruns still come on tv but I don't ever watch it.

more tennis

Another week has gone by. I am very ready for Thanksgiving Break, as I am in need of a break. I am pretty tired and will use the break to see my family and catch up on sleep. It will be cool to have good food as well. It will be nice.
I enjoyed writing about tennis last week, so I decided to write about tennis some more this week. Another one of my favorite players was Goran Ivanisevic. He had a huge serve and was very fun to watch. It was really fun to watch him have a lot of success at the 2001 Wimbledon. He came out of nowhere and was unstoppable. His serve was probably the biggest i've ever seen. While his groundstrokes weren't that consisten, he made up for it with his gigantic serve.
Jim Courier was also fun to watch because he was a fiesty competitor. He is now a commentator and is pretty entertaining sometimes.
I also liked watching Michael Chang. While he didn't have a big serve or special groundstrokes, he was quite a grinder. He would be out there on the court for hours and hours if he needed to be. It was a really entertaining match several years ago at the French Open when he played Roddick and Roddick was just 19. I think it went five sets and it was a great match. His matches were always fun to watch because they would not be dominated by a serve. I'm sure he was frustrating for the other players to play because he was such a grinder.
My favorite tennis tournament is Wimbledon. It was always interesting to me since it is played on grass. The atmosphere at Wimbledon seemed like it was pretty interesting as well. After Wimbledon, my next favorite grand slam tournament was probably the U.S. Open. Its fun to watch and always takes place during August, right as school starts. The French Open is kind of fun to watch as well since it takes place all on clay. I have been to the Kroger St. Jude tournament before in Memphis and it was a lot of fun.

tennis

As I mentioned in earlier blog, I grew up playing lots of tennis. I would play in tournaments all over the south. I met a lot of people through tennis and some are now playing division I college tennis. In this blog, I am going to talk about my favorite pro tennis players of all time.
Andre Agassi was one of my favorite players. Not only was a really good tennis players, but he was also just a good entertainer in general. He had lots of charisma and was funny at times. His matches with Pete Sampras especially when they were #1 and #2 were classic. They were also complete opposites. Agassi was the charismatic mostly baseliner while Sampras was the powerful guy with a huge serve. I remember watching the French Open when Agassi won and captured the Grand Slam. In order to capture the tennis Grand Slam, someone has to win all four of the major tournaments: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open.Agassi won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open when he was younger. The French Open was the last one he needed to win and he came through. The French Open is played on red clay which makes it difficult for a guy who plays hius best on hardcourts like Agassi. Also, since his matches consisted of a lot of baseline rallying, his matches were a lot more fun to watch. A lot of players are not as fun to watch if they rely just on their serves.
Pete Sampras was another one of my favorite players. While he did not have nearly as much charisma as Andre Agassi and was not as fun to watch, he was a dominating force on the tennis court. He was not nearly as good on clay courts than he was on hard courts or grass courts. His serve was so huge that he was incredibly hard to beat on hard or grass courts. He also had a really good net game as he was a serve and vollyer. He made it look so easy. He had a very calm presence. Underneath that demeanor was a very passionate competitor. There were also a lot of times when he would start out slow in his matches and then would come back.
I am also a fan of Roger Federer. He is another one of the greatest of all time. Like Sampras, he makes it look so easy. He is not the flashiest player but is incredibly talented. He rose to success in the game in a very short amount of time. He has a very complete game. Has definitely been the best player of the last several years.

Chain Restaurants

I have several favorite chain restaurants. These restaurants involve all different types of food. My favorite chain restaurant is Copelands. Copelands has been one of my favorite restaurants for a long time. I've eaten at the original Copelands in New Orleans. Copelands is delicious. I usually order the catfish acadiana. This dish is a delcious piece of catfish with really good potatoes and veggies. Their shrimp creole is also very good. So is their shrimp etouffe. I would probably enjoy anything on the menu at Copelands. The spices they use are really good. They have good deserts. The atmosphere at Copelands is always pretty cool as well. Its usually a pretty popular place. Its a good place to go with a group of people.
I also like Chilis a lot. It seems like a lot of cities have a chilis restaurant. They are usually pretty good. I usually order the chicken fajita nachos at chilis. Its a good meal. Their hamburgers and ribs are good too. I would probably also enjoy most things on the menu at chilis as well. Chilis has good appetizers. I like their deserts too.
I also like the Olive Garden. Their Italian dishes are all good. I also their Pasta Fajoli soup.
Red Lobster is good as well. Since I like seafood a lot, Red lobster is another one of my favorites. I would probably like just about anything on the menu there as well.
I like Zaxbys too. I know its a little different from the others Ive listed. The reason I like it is that I can get buffalo wings through drive thru. I usually get their second hottest wings. Their wings are good. They have some good appetizers too.
Cozy Mels is a good mexican food restaurant. You can't ever go wrong with chili rellenos or chicken quesadillas.

Candy

I'm sitting here eating some M&M's so I decided to write about a favorite of mine: candy. There are many types of candy that I enjoy. I am a big fan of chocolate. I really like hershey bars a lot. Sometimes when I go to the store, I might buy a pack of them. I don't like the ones with almonds as much as the regular ones. Reeses peanut butter cups are another favorite of mine. I can get addicted to those. They are very easy to get addicted to. I especially like the Reeses peanut butter cup chocolate christmas trees or chocolate eggs that come out around the holidays. Those are good. I also like Whoppers. I don't hear much about Whoppers anymore, but I still enjoy them. You also can't go wrong with any type of Russell Stovers chocloate. While sometimes expensive, Russell Stovers chocolate candies are usually good. Dove and Symphony chocolate bars are other good types of bars. Chocolate M&M's, which I am eating right now are also good. I like the Chocolate M&M's better than the Peanut Butter M&M's. I can get addicted to Chocolate M&M's as well. Also, chocolate covered raisins are good. Also, don't forget Nestle Crunch bars, another good chocolate bar.
As far as non-chocolate candy, starbursts have always been a favorite of mine. I remember eating starbursts a lot growing up. I like all the flavors, especially the red flavor. I buy starbursts all the time. A lot of times I will buy a big bag of starbursts from the store. You can't go wrong with starbursts. Most of my friends like starbursts as well. Gummy worms are another good candy. I used to get those at the movie theatre a lot. Sour gummy worms are good as well. Sour patch kids is another favorite type of candy. I also like that Mike and Ike candy.

some of my favorite comedy movies

Right now, while I am typing off, I have on the movie Kingpin in the background. Kingpin is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is an older movie, came out in the 90s, but is a classic. It is absolutely hilarious. Bill Murray and Woody Harrelson are great. Everybody should see this movie. Not only is it over the top hilarious, it also though is overall a good movie. It has a point to it.
I mentioned earlier in one of my blogs about Meet the Parents. That movie is another one of my favorites. The movie The New Guy is another one of my favorites. It came out a while ago, in like 02, and wasn't real popular but I liked it. While it was very silly, it was one of those movies that made no sense so it didnt even try. It was just plain hilarious. D.J. Qualls stars in it. Eddie Griffin also appears in it briefly. When it came out during the summertime, I went to see with a friend of mine and we were both laughing so hard, I almost started crying.
Groundhog Day with Bill Murray is another good one. It is an older movie as well. It is one of those movies you can watch more than once and still find it very funny. I am a big Bil Murray fan. he's usually pretty funny.
The Benchwarmers with Rob Schneider, David Spade and Jon Heder is another one of those New Guy kind of movies. While at times it was very silly, it was always funny. I have friends who didn't like it, but I liked it and was laughing most of the time while watching it.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It is an old movie, came out in like the late 80s, but is Chevy Chase at his best. There are so many funny parts in this movie. Randy Quaid is also in it and is very funny. This is another movie that while is over the top hilarious, also has a point. It is fun to watch.
Napolean Dynamite is another classic. Everybody knows about this movie. Its hilarious.

places I've visited

Im glad its the weekend. Tomorrow I'll be heading up to Oxford to visit some friends. School has been going pretty good. I decided I would write about the favorite places I've visited in today's blog.
I've been to a bunch of different places within the U.S. As far as real big cities, Ive been up to Washington D.C., over to Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland. They were all very fun places to go to. Portland was an awesome city. Los Angles traffic was as bad as they say. I went to Washington D.C. back in 2000 and it was fun. You can't beat going to New Orleans, especially since its so close to here. It doesn't get much better than Bourbon. Savannah, Georgia was a lot of fun to visit. One of my best friends lives in mobile and its always blast seeing him. My brother lives in Little Rock, Arkansas and that is a cool city. I have friends who live there. I went to jekyll Island Georgia once for vacation and while there wasnt much to do, it was definitely a cool resort area. Destin, Florida and Gulf Shores, Alabama are definitely my favorite beach areas. I used to go to those places as a little kid with my family and still do with my friends every now and then. There are no better places to go to just relax and enjoy the atmosphere. I enjoy visitng new places. I have never been outside of this new country and would like to someday. Right now I cant afford to but hopefully I will be able to after school. My brother has though and he really enjoyed being in Europe.

my favorite hobbies

I decided to write about my favorite hobbies for this week's blog. Growing up as a kid, I played baseball, golf and tennis. I played baseball and golf for a while then concentrated on playing tennis. I played in competitive junior tennis tournaments all over the South. I played in tournaments in Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia etc. I met a lot of good people doing this and many are now playing division I college tennis. I even know a couple who are now playing professionally on the tour.
I also like to fish. There are many good places to fish in this state. I have been fishing since I was a little kid. Theres nothing more peaceful to me than to go fishing. Its a good way to just relax and enjoy nature. Its also fun to get a big group of friends together to go fishing.
I also enjoy playing golf. It is another good way of relaxing and enjoying being outside, especially in the summertime.
Like many people, I also enjoy going to the beach. Destin and Gulf Shores are both awesome palces to go to for a vacation. While there, you can catch some waves, eat some good seafood and enjoy just relaxing on the beach. The restaurants at those palces are also really good. One time I went to Destin with a group of friends and we all stayed in a condo right on the beach. It was a great time. There are always a lot of vacationers at both of those places.
Another thing I like to do is to travel. I have been to a bunch of different places in this country. My favorite place that I have ever been to is probably to Colorado skiing. While of course it is freezing cold, being out there on the slopes is a lot of fun.

Favorite types of food

I decided to write about about my favorite types of food for this week's blog. I like most types of food. My hands down favorite is seafood. It is nice having seafood as my favorite being here in Hattiesburg. There are plenty of good seafood places around. My favorite seafood dish is the grilled redfish. There is a place in Jackson that makes the best grilled redfish I've ever had. It is absolutely delicious. I am also a big fan of seafood gumbo. I also enjoy a good shrimp po-boy every now and then.
After seafood, my next favorite is Italian food. Usually dishes of chicken parmigana at good restaurants are delicious. Also, chicken fettucine is usually good. I like a lot of pasta dishes.
I also enjoy Mexican food. You can never go wrong ordering some chicken chimichangas.
As far as home cooked meals go, I have always enjoyed my mom's chicken rotel. She adds some good spices to it which make it very good. My dad can make a pretty good omelet on occasion.
I am not sure which category this falls into, but I am also a big fan of good ole cheese dip. Most of the times at a restaurant, me and whoever else I'm with will usually order the cheese dip if offered. While it is definitely not the healthiest item one can eat, getting an appetizer of cheese dip to start off a meal is the way to go.
As far as deserts go at restaurants, chocolate sundaes are usually good. When it comes to ice cream, my favorite flavor is mint chocolate chip.
My three favorite restaurants are Copelands, Chili's and Olive Garden. I also like Red Lobster.

Thank goodness its Friday and music

Thank goodness its Friday. It was a pretty busy school week. I am definitely ready for the weekend. Staurday will be filled with lots of sleep and football watching. I decided for this week's blog I would write about music. Rock and Country are my two favorite types, but I also enjoy listening to some R & B and a little Rap. Talking about Rock, my favorite group right now is Egypt Central. They are out of Memphis and are getting to be pretty famous. They play in Jackson all the time and are on the radio a lot. Their drummer Blake actually grew up across the street from me. He was a few years older than me, but he was around the same age as my older brother.He was alwasys banging away on those drums. My brother saw him not long ago. I guess that makes me kind of biased into liking their music, but their music is pretty awesome. They have a lot of potential and could be the next big rock group out there.

I also of course like a lot of the famous groups such as the Smashing Pumpkins, the Stone Temple Pilots, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and System of a Down. Stone Temple Pilot's "Vasoline" is classic. Another up and coming group I like thats out there besides Egypt Central is Coheed and Cambria. "Welcome Home" is an awesome song. I like some classic rock such as a few ACDC songs, a few Aerosmith songs, some Led Zeppelin and Boston.

As far as country goes, I'm a fan of Brooks and Dunn and Kenny Chesney. Talking about R & B, Usher's stuff is usually pretty good.

tv shows

In my last post, I wrote about my favorite movies and briefly mentioned a couple of my favorite television shows at the end. I figured I would talk about tv shows in this post. While I do like movies more than tv shows, there are several tv shows that I enjoy. Regarding sitcoms, I enjoy watching old Seinfeld episodes. I also like The Office. It seems like most people like that show as the cast is great. Saturday Night Live is also great. Theres always something funny happening on that show. I also like the show the King of Queens, even though I have some good friends who do not like that show. Im not a fan of According to Jim or Two and a Half Men. It seems like According to Jim has been on tv for a while, but Ive never really liked it or Two and Half a Men. Everybody Loves Raymond is also a pretty good show. I also enjoy watching the show Scrubs. Hopefully there will be some more good sitcoms on air soon.
Regarding hour long non-sitcom shows, I like watching Lost and old episodes of The X Files. I also like the show Las Vegas. That is a pretty good show. Another hour long show I like is the show Friday Night Lights. Its a very entertaining show. Ive never really liked watching Law and Order that much, even though I know its real popular.
Im not a big cartoon person, but I do like the Simpsons. It has always been a very good show. Other shows I like include shows on Food Network like Iron Chef and Emeril. Those shows make me hungry after watching them. I am also a fan of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Fall

Fall has always been my favorite time of the year. While I am also a fan of Summer, it is nice that the temperature cools a little bit during Fall. Do not get me wrong. I do enjoy it to be nice and warm outside, but not absolutely scorching like the heat sometimes is during Summer. Also, great sporting events occur during the Fall. I consider Fall to be the best season of the year in terms of sports. Not only do you always have an entertaining season of college football, but the World Series occurs during the Fall as well. During Fall, leaves can be found everywhere and nature looks pretty altogether.
One of my favorite things to do when Im at home is to watch movies. My favorite genre of movies is comedy, even though I have enjoyed movies from most genres. My favorite comedy movie is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It is an older movie, but is absolutely hilarious. Chevy Chase is very funny in that movie. In terms of comedy I usually like either Chevy Chase or Owen Wilson movies. A lot of Will Ferrell movies are very funny as well.
In terms of action movies, I usually like movies in which either Harrison Ford or Nicholas Cage is in. Speaking of Ford, I am a fan of the Indiana Jones movies. Speaking of Cage, I liked Con Air and the Rock. I know some people do not like Nicholas Cage movies that much, and I understand, as some of his movies are pretty bad. I really like suspense movies, as they really make you think. Most Morgan Freeman movies are good. I am not a big horror movie fan, as sometimes I have trouble sleeping after watching one. In terms of television, I usually like watching reruns of Seinfield and the Simpsons. While I enjoy movies more than television, those are my favorite tv shows. It doesn't seem like there have been very many good sitcoms on tv in a while.
