Well written and well crafted movie, there was some content there for sure, and that line is not a bad one to remember once in awhile ! What I enjoyed most is how Andy Dufresne stuck it to the man, that was the best, certainly was some interesting character portrayals by the actors. Some fool recently tried to find that beach in the movie, and he disappeared in mexico, likely banditos, there are areas you do not want to go to in mexico, you're a sitting duck, I've been there myself, I'll stay on this side of the border LOL !

The thing with sports and competion today has lost a lot of its roots and meaning. I played sports for a good part of my life, for the fun of it, mostly for the good exercise and health benefits. I watched some of the NCAA, don't have time to sit in front of a tv for very long, and don't like to anyway, but its nice to catch a good game, or watch a favorite team play, or even go to the game which is rare but I do go on occasion, its fun. I'd rather play though, pick up basketball, hockey in the winter, with friends, its very good for a person, relieves stress, keeps you fit, and its fun, you don't realize any of it because you are busy having some fun.

Collegiate and professional sports have too many extraneous things associated or going on with it today, big business, not for the love of the game or the true sporting competition, education is still priority in my book, if you have what it takes to make it to that level, you should still garner all the education you can get.

One thing I won't do is sit inside on a nice day to watch a game or go to a bar, forget it, I'll record it or forget about it.

I do like to play a NCAA bracket, watch some of it, weather is usually not so nice and its fun to see how you do or see some of the games that turn out to be really good competition between the teams, like was mentioned close ones do take some luck. 2 years ago, I picked both teams that made it to the championship game, and picked kentucy to win which they did, just dumb luck, but I still did not even win or place in the pool,LOL !, darned sham LOL, but I enjoyed it regardless. Sports has its place, it should be for the love of the game, fair competition and exercise. Collegiate, professional and even olympic sports seems to lack this in varying degrees, so if you are a spectator, you have to watch with a grain of salt. Even high school sports has lost some touch with reality, given the ways things are today, it used to be for the building of character, comradery, win lose or draw, coaches were good mentors, preparing kids for life, thats what it should be about.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
