It was all a dream

Ever have one of those dreams you wish would never end. When you wish you could just sleep forever. When everything seems so real and you are happy. Everything you have ever wanted is playing out right before you. If you could somehow watch yourself sleep you would have a never ending smile on your face. Well last night I had one of those dreams. I was in the kitchen with Gordon Ramsay just cooking. No television cameras, no executive chef job up for grabs. Just him and I enjoying our passion and doing what we both love. It was like I was in heaven. I was absorbing everything he was saying, memorizing everything he was doing. My taste pallet was his canvas and he was creating a masterpiece for me. If I was dead this would be my heaven. It was the real Gordon Ramsay no make up, no scripts and he was there just for me. Of course there F bombs dropped and he even gave me a "shut it down" just for the hell of it. And he even showed me how too drizzle my cream sauce for decoration =P But then unfortunately my alarm went off ripping me away from my paradise. Real life kicks in and it's time to get up and go to work. Taking my place as the Gordon Ramsay of baking.

100

Today my blog was finally hit one hundred countries viewed. It has been a bit of a goal of mine to reach the century number. I have been stuck on ninety nine countries for a few weeks now and every day I would keep checking over and over again to see if it had happened. There have been a couple of false alarms when I would see a countries name and get all excited but as I would reference my list I have compiled I would realize that it wasn't a new one. Just a country that I had forgotten about. When you get up to this many countries it gets hard to keep track of them in your mind. But now that I am at one hundred I guess it is time to set a new goal. There are 196 recognized countries in the world so I am more than halfway to having every country. Slowly I am checking them all off my list. As for number 100 that goes to the US Virgin Islands. If I can't go to every country in the world then I'm happy with them all coming to me.

Safe House

So I just got home from watching Safe House. I have been anticipating this movie for awhile now. Denzel Washington is my favourite actor. I'll even admit I have a bit of a man crush on him but how can you not. He is just personifies cool. So I headed off the the theatre. I decided I wanted to try out the new VIP Cinemas at Cineplex. For what you pay I was expecting to be blown away and for the most part I was very impressed with the theatre. You get assigned seating in seats that are pretty much reclining chairs. An expanded menu with at your seat service made even better by the very cute girl taking my orders. The only downfall and it was a big one was that the sound didn't work. So they had to move us to a different theatre. After the hassle of moving and  the nearly forty five minute delay I finally got to watch the movie. And it sure didn't disappoint. Another blockbuster from Denzel filled with great action and a great story. Gun fights, car chases and plenty of explosions all filmed to look slick. It was a well spent two hours and after all the trouble we had I ended up getting a voucher for a free movie. Oh and I stole the fancy glass my smoothie came in. Ya I'm a badass and I know it.
