I'm not too fickle about adding you though, as you can see. So just comment and viola.

From 100_situations - please read and comment them all as I go along! I'd like some real good feedback, too. I'm really trying to grow as a writer.

Yeah, I hate myself, too. Don't feel bad. Just go click them please. ;A;

When I woke up this morning, I knew that today would leave me rendered speechless. I knew that it would either worsen or relieve my fears for this country, my family, and the future. It's hard for me to express how tonight has left me feeling. It's such a whirlwind of feelings and thoughts.

I am so proud of all the people who helped on both and all campaigns. I am so impressed with the voter turn-out. It's not because Obama won or because McCain lost. It's not because of the seats in the House or the Senate. It's because this shows that Americans, when push comes to shove, love this country and her people and that she will unite when she is called upon. We have spoken and proved our worth.

Whether or not you are happy or angry with the results of this election, we need to set aside our differences. We need to work together for what's best for this country and her people. We need to believe again. It's hard to overcome, but America has proven time and time again that she can do it.

Regardless of position, every single person on this Earth, not just in America needs to keep the mantra in their minds.
YES WE CAN

It is hard for me to simply lump 추격자 (also known as The Chaser) with all the other thriller movies as often thriller movies are just horror movies who fail to terrify an audience. It is an intense crime thriller that leaves the viewer asking the same questions as Hannibal Lector did. Is he truly trying to be caught or is there more to it than just simply seeing if he can outsmart everyone else? It begins when two girls who were given advances suddenly stop showing up for work, Jung-Ho (Kim Yoon-Seok), an ex-cop turned pimp, believes they have run off him. But it isn't until he forced Min-Ji (Seo Yeong-Hee) from her home to see a client that he notice he has sent the sick Min-Ji to serve the last person each of the girls serviced before disappearing. Instructing Min-Ji carefully, he parked behind his car closely behind her car and waited patiently for a text from her informing him of her exact whereabouts.

But Min-Ji's text never came. With no signal, she crawled into the tub and attempted to use the window to only discovers that it has been closed up with bricks. It's not long before Min-Ji realized she is trapped. Jung-Ho circled the neighborhood in an attempt to find any sign of her. But when that same client crashes into his car and he notices blood on his shirt, he realizes that his girls suffered a terrible fate. And the confession that soon follows that confirms his belief when Young-Min (Ha Jeong-Woo) gives details of all his murders to the police. Young-Min even suggests that Min-Ji may still be alive, but only Jung-Ho believes that part of his confession. The cops race against time to find physical evidence to hold Young-Min longer and convict him while Jung-Ho tries desperately to find Min-Ji and save her before Young-Min is released to finish the job.

It is not arguable, but rather factual that Ha Jeong-Woo played a terrifying killer. He loses all humanity as he denies Min-Ji escape at mention of her daughter and proceeds with his plans. His expression is blank as he describes his methods. He smiles and nearly laughs as though he spoiled a birthday surprise when he admits to the murders. Every time he was on the screen, I felt a need to wring my hands nervously. He was completely unpredictable being both wild and controlled. But as a foil, there is Kim Yoon-Seok playing the easily upset Jung-Ho. At the beginning of the film, Jung-Ho is merely interested in getting all his money back. He shows no other interest in Min-Ji's welfare until he realizes that she has a seven year old daughter waiting patiently at home for her return. As he drags the small girl around on his unofficial investigation into Young-Min's habits with other redlight district businesses, he becomes more and more determined to bring her mother home. And as he gains humanity and more emotion involved in the hunt, he quickly becomes a threat to the case the police are attempting to run.

This film was absolutely superb and beyond expectations. With rich characters, intense atmosphere, and continued direction and style, fans of the genre will love it alongside those who would usually pass this up as a shallow film. I honestly can offer no complaint about the film, but must advise those that are wary of blood and gore to perhaps stay cautious of this film. Although the film's crux is its two main actors, it is some of the more violent scenes that add more emotion, whether it be anger or fear, and make the movie overall captivating. So, if you can take a little blood, get ready to be on the edge of your seat for The Chaser. I give this film four and a half chisels out of five.

Stupidity. Hey, that's something natural!

His smile is so precious. I'm watching the few videos I have on my iPod. Total love.

They are in big trouble. More details later.

Purple Line has grown on me. Yeah, for the first time in months, I'm listening to Dong Bang Shin Ki for the first time in months.

He's here. A little underweight because he is 2 weeks premature, but he is here.

Sorry! My new nephew is nearly here. We are on our way to the hospital!

There are Hannah Montana Halloween costumes. I think those are too scary for kids.

Baby Hit Me One More Time is playing.

That bus driver didn't know how to go easy on the breaks. Standing was difficult, but the only choice.

A school bus was stopped on the other side of the road. I have a feeling those kids will be late to school. How about you?

Solange has managed to get me addicted to asking ChaCha various questions. If you have a cell and can text, give it a try!

Sorry for running out on you so quickly, Rebekah. I'd still like to know why you are a horrible person though. I'd like to laugh, too!

I spoke too soon. Time is crawling now on UScan.
