Cruisin' on the Fourth of July.

Today is the day I decided to start my blog. Independence day. Anyway the hardest part of this has been what to call my blog. All the really "cool" names are taken and I don't happen to feel very creative at the moment.

Well I finally decided on Life in Progress, not the most creative but it works. Right now my life is in the progress of several things, a new job and a new relationship with an old friend. More on that later.

Went tonight to see War of the Worlds. Up until seeing this movie, Tom Cruise was not on my top 10 list. Lately I think he has been acting like an idiot. Yeah, he's in love, but he's also a 40 something adult male who shouldn't feel the need to act like he is a 12 year gymnast when asked about his girlfriend (refer to his appearance on Oprah). By the way what is it about men and younger women?

I happen to know that a 47 year old man just married a recently turned 31 year old woman and got his vasecotemy "undone" so that they or should I say she could get pregnant. Love or just plain insanity...because that's a $10,000 not-insurance covered act of love and there is no guarantee that this guy might not still be shooting blanks.

Sorry, I got sidetracked for a moment. Regarding the movie, it was pretty good and I left the theatre with some warm and fuzzy thoughts regarding Tom. Alas these thoughts will only last until his next interview where he will profess to know that there is no such thing as a "chemical imbalance" in the brain and he "knows" pyschiatry. This wealth of knowledge may have simply been too much for Nicole to handle maybe that's why they split up. Does short man syndrome ring a bell here?
