Here is the deal folks. This last weekend was so incredibly boring for me that I will not bore you by talking about it. I was bogged down with paperwork all weekend. Not to worry though, after reading Frank's blog I got an idea on what to blog about: Medieval Times
Coincidentally, when I went to Medieval Times, my group was also in the Green Knight section. It really is the only knight that's worth his weight it gold. I went with a group of ten friends, two of them being Mike and Trevor, my best friends. We, of course, get rowdy about everything we do. This meant that the Green Knight was going to have the rowdiest cheering section all the land.
From the very beginning we went nuts cheering for our boy Green. He was kickin' every other knight's butt through the whole thing so we were just off yon hook. The events were awesome and very entertaining. We led the whole green section, not just our group of 10, in chants. These chants included:
"When I say green, you say knight. Green! Knight! Green! Knight!"
and the popular
"Green, Green he's our knight, if he don't win we'll start to fight!"
It was awesome...i don't think I've had that much fun acting like a teenager since...well...i was a teenager. Then it happened. Our Knight won the tournament and we blew up! We sent our group into a frenzy. This, however, was short lived. He was then betrayed by some tool-box and stabbed in the back. We were FURIOUS! We talked smack to the king on our way out because he was dissin our boy Green.
I definitely say you should go to medieval times once in your life...you will not regret it!
Well thats it for me! Hopefully next weekend will bring something more exciting!

Darr Family Reunion.
So, my weekend went pretty well. We Darrs had our annual Darr Family Reunion. And what Darr Family Reunion means for me, is chauffer. I get to give 20 kids under the age of 12 a ride on our many military vehicles. They delegate this job to me because I am a teacher and they assume I am great with kids. In all honest, I enjoy it.
The kids enjoy the tank (an APC-114) the best. Those things are louder than Dane Cook, I’m tellin’ ya! I have learned to do some mad brodies and doughnuts in it. I can get it rocking for sure. I also get to lead the Jeep caravan through the desert, which is really fun. Visiting with my family members, especially the older ones, is always the highlight of the weekend. I love their stories and hearing about my ancestors. They also tell me how good looking I am many times, which is always nice. I mean, they are right, but its nice to hear (no brag just fact, right?)
After the reunion was over, I went to visit my buddy Mike in Santa Clarita. There we partied and talked about the next movie we will be filming called “Bum Rush”, in which I play a bum….who gets killed. That’s right, another movie starring THE Dennis Darr.
Now, as I promised I am going to review the movie Appaloosa. Appaloosa stars Ed Harris, who also directed, Jeremy Irons, and Viggo Mortenson. Ed Harris is pretty boring, but Viggo Mortenson is the man…with or without Frodo. Jeremy Irons is also the shit. The story is pretty decent, and the movie is pretty entertaining. I would definitely rent it. WORD OF WARNING! Renee Zellweger is in this movie! This makes some scenes almost unbearable. WHY DOES SHE KEEP GETTING WORK??
Anyway, thanks for stopping by!

Money and the Movies
Hey there everybody!
My week was really boring so I am going to instead write about a couple weekends ago when I had the opportunity to fulfill one of my all-time dreams: Be a MOVIE STAR! That’s right boys and girls; you are reading the blog of the next Arnold Schwarzenegger or Clint Eastwood (or at least Richard Greco). In reality, it was a short film made by some friends of mine, it was semi-professional, and it will be entered into multiple film festivals. So its not just some idiots with a video camera. I play of the main characters and get my neck snapped in the end…it was sweet.
Here is the plot: I am a member of a Narcotics unit of an unnamed police department. During one particular drug raid, I bring my trainee along for some extra muscle. This drug raid is different than others, however, because we plan to kill the drug-lord, who is also an informant, and steal his money. ( I know you are lovin’ this already!) After we raid the house, we shoot the drug-lord and plant a gun on him to “articulate the shooting”. My trainee does not agree with this, but has to go along with it because he is highly outnumbered. A few days later, the leader of our group decides that the trainee cannot be trusted and that we should “deal with him” before he can rat us out. We drug his beer and take him out to the desert to kill him. He ends up being a complete bad-ass and killing everyone else one by one. That is all I’m going to tell you right now….you will have to watch the movie to see the rest.
The title is “THE REAL DEAL”, I will let everyone know when it comes out on Youtube or something to that effect. Now doesn’t that sound like an awesome movie? Like I said earlier, I’m no Eastwood or Schwarzenegger but I do have a fight scene and my death scene is sweet.
Clint Eastwood and Arnold are my favorite actors. So I was very happy to see Eastwood directing and starring in a new movie “Gran Torino”. This movie ROCKED! It was like Dirty Harry at 78 yrs old. I laughed, I cried, and I got that tingly feeling when he growled “Get of my lawn!” to those punks. He played the part of “grumpy old man” as only Clint Eastwood could. Even at 78 he commanded respect and even got some laughs in there. Go watch it. Then, when it comes out on DVD/Blue Ray, buy it. Finally, when it’s on TNT, T-VO or DVR it. Don’t steal it though, because he will break you off one serious!
Next week I'll let you guys know what I think of the Western Movie "Appaloosa".
Also, I tried two new beers this weekend; Firestone Double Barrel, and Wingwalker IPA. Both delightful.
Well thats all! Thanks for stopping by!

Money's Thoughts
Hello all,
My weekend was pretty sweet. I went to the second funnest wedding I've ever been to (first, of course, being Franks).
Im getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the beginning. Friday I taught...you know, my job. It was an average day until an 8th grader decided to yell the all-mighty F word. The only curse that is referred to with the word THE in front of it. So I basically own his soul now.
Friday night I went to the local bar and sung karaoke. Favorite song choice of mine: "I ran" by A Flock of Sea Gulls.
On Saturday I went out in the desert and shot my new gun. It's a Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum (aka the Dirty Harry gun). I'm up to four guns now. A 9mm Browning High-Power, a Smith & Wesson .40, a shot gun, and the .44 Mag.
The wedding that night was fun. The reception involved a lot of drinking and dancing. After that we went to a few more bars and just had a great time celebrating a friend taking the plunge.
On Sunday, a photographer from some website came out to my dad's shop and took pictures of naked chicks for a calendar. So I got to see a bunch of naked chicks. Never a bad thing.
That night was, of course, the super bowl. I hated the outcome but a great game. I then went home and went to sleep. Work on Monday = no booze.
That's it! Thanks for stopping in!
