The Vietnam War Sucked

Alyssa and I just watched Platoon, number 86 on the list of 100. I had seen it before but it had been a while, it was her first time. Because her number one priority when watching movies is feeling happy at the end, it wasn't her favorite. I liked it a little less than I had expected, it seemed choppy and had a scattered focus throughout. Also we got it on Comcast On Demand and the sound quality sucked for some reason. Still a pretty solid film and probably my favorite performance by Charlie Sheen and possibly from Willem Dafoe as well.

Young Love

Some friends of mine recently got married, Chris Conley and Ashley Clark (now Ashley Conley). Alyssa and I went to their ceremony & reception in the Alamo Hills and had a blast. Chris had asked me to be bartender while the photos of the bridal party were being taken, which I readily agreed to, no wait for my drinks! After a little trouble tapping the keg of Coors Light (Beer geyser everywhere!) I had the best time. Everybody is your best friend when you're tending bar, especially when the drinks are free!



The rest of the wedding was great too. They had a photo booth set up carnival style, people took pictures and put them in the guestbook to add a visual to the chicken scratch of 250 guests. Alyssa, Josh, Megan and I took a few together also. It was the first time in quite a while that Alyssa and I went dancing, and truly hit home the point that we should probably take some lessons before our own big day! Just kidding, babe. Actually I'm not, we're horrible! It's nice knowing our own wedding is approaching and being able to glean all the best ideas from our friends for our reception. Josh and Megan better look out, we're stealing from them next!
