50 Shades of SquarePants

Movie mix-up shows ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ to ‘SpongeBob’ audience

I came across this story earlier this week and wanted to share my single degree of separation with this story. The funny thing about is that the opposite happened in what’s likely the same theater the night before.

I guess I’ll have to come clean and admit that I saw 50 Shades of Grey with my wife – but when you have an 18-month-old, you don’t get many opportunities to see a movie in the theater and be able to participate in pop culture conversations (at least that’s what I’m telling myself to sleep at night).  Back to the point.

By the time we got into the movie they were deep into the previews, which seemed strange to that they all seemed to be for animated movies.  I was wondering if maybe the studios were really trying to appeal to the soccer-mom demographic.  We finally get to the “featured presentation” part, which fades into a panning zoom of an island, flashing the words “Nickelodeon Studios Presents”.  At that point everyone took out their phones to illuminate their ticket stubs, wondering if they were in the right theater.  A good 5 minutes pass before the movie stops and they change things over.  From the looks of things it looks like they didn’t fix the problem by the morning.

New Year and hopefully new posts

Happy New Year everybody! I hope that your 2015 is off to a great start! Sure we don’t have our hoverboards, flying cars, or Mr. Fusion, – but aside from that 2015 is shaping up to be great!

I’m hoping that with the change of the calendar, I can put myself in a new mindset where I can start capturing my thoughts in blog form once again. I have a lot of great things going on, but I haven’t made the time to document and share them. I’d like for that to change. Stay tuned…

I’m baaaaaaack!

Two pages in the calendar have turned since the last time I posted. It eats at me. I love to write and share my thoughts, but I also love other things like my family, working (or at least the benefits of working), and drumming – things that make the days go by pretty quickly. The next thing you know, two months have passed and there are numerous trips, events (like Baby Girl turning one), and reactions that I’ve failed to capture. Well no more.

This month, I’m going to set a goal of posting at least once per day, even if it’s me writing with my thumb on my phone (like tonight). I’m going you get back into the blogging groove, dammit. So if you’re still out there, subscribing and reading me: thank you, and stay tuned!
