5 people...hmm...

This has to be one of the more thought provoking question I have ever been asked. The first person I would like to meet would be my mother's sister's husband, which is my uncle (obviously). I never got to meet him because he died while I was like two or three years old. He seemed to be a great guy from what I have heard of him, but I would have a better idea for myself if I met him myself. I guess the second person would probably be Winston Churchill. Starting by saying I do not know why, but I seem to believe that the experience would be a great one. I know that was not a good reason, but I have to say this is my blog, so get over it.

The third person I would like to meet would probably be William Shakespeare. The only reason behind my choice would have to be because everyone believed he did extraordinary things. Personally, I believe that he was an ordinary man with an extraordinary talent: he could write well beyond reason and/or he spent a ridiculous amount of time on editing and writing. At this point I have written two in-depth papers on the life and works of this famous English author; furthermore, I have scored over one-hundred on each report, so I say my background on his life and background remains very knowledgeable. Based upon all the research I have done on his life, I can confidently say that I have found conclusive evidence from many different respectable source that suggests that his works are the results of a career, not a passion. Like my post about Albert Einstein, I would take any chance I get just to find the reasoning behind his writing.

The last two persons would have to be totally random, only because I have never given it any thought. The fourth would probably be Enrico Fermi. One of the greatest scientist of his time, Fermi remains a better master of science than the infamous Thomas Edison. One of the greatest calculations ever made was the one he made at the Trinity Base Camp while performing a test of the first and most devastating product of the Manhattan Project. For those of you who do not know what I am talking about, the Manhattan Project was the first attempt at harnessing the power of atomic fission for surgical and methodically purposes put forth by the United States government. The product of these studies, the first of which is the subject of this story, changed history forever: the atomic bomb. Before the 16Th of July, no one had any clue as to what would happen when an atomic device was detonated on the ground. Speculation gave way to no explosion(s) to lighting the vapor of the Earth's atmosphere on fire. Though we all know what the result was, the experiment, which he viewed ten miles away from ground zero, astounded him; nonetheless, what he did during the experiment proves his true genius. Fermi took a few six feet pieces of paper and dropped them during the period between prior to detonation and aftermath. Using this and the lateral shift of the paper, Fermi calculated the blast to have a power of that equivalent to 10,000 tons of dynamite. It would be later calculated that the blast had a power of 19 kilotons, which is equivalent to 19,000 tons of dynamite. Using only paper and his brain, Fermi made one of the greatest calculations of his time and history, and was only off by a factor of two (something many dimwits cannot accomplish even with computers). No further explanation required.

The last person would probably be the person who was the first hobo, only so I can make sure he knows the impact his kind had and has on the world.

Game with one person...hmm...

As weird as this may sound, I would want to play poker Texas-Hold'em style with Albert Einstein. Most experienced and professional players will tell you that hold'em is just a game of probabilities and chance, but I seem to believe that Einstein would not take to this strategy. Though thought to be one of the greatest mathematicians of history, I believe Einstein would probably take a leisurely approach to play the game for entertainment value instead of playing to win. Thus to prove my ignorance-as whoever reading this might want-I will gladly play poker against Einstein just to test my theory.

Casino Royale: Movie Blog

After watching all the movies in the series, I conclude without a doubt that Casino Royale is the best Bond movie in my opinion. I must admit though that when I first saw that Metro Goldwyn Meyer (MGM) replaced Pierce Brosan, I thought that the quality of the movies would continually get worse. Obviously I was wrong about that, as Casino Royale is agreeably the best bond movie since The Living Daylights. The very first part of the movie that captivated me would be the opening credits. Though it was not tradition because of the absence of beautiful girls with OO7 tatooes in revealing places wielding guns, it has to be one of the best opening credits I have ever seen. Chris Cornell was just another man until I heard his piece You Know My Name playing during the opening credits. Words escape me when I try to define the reasoning behind my claim, because I do not know why I love the opening credits-it could be the music or it could be the interesting integration of old concepts of Bond credits mixed with fresh new ideas.

Once I got past the opening credits, I was captivated to the very end. The first scene in the movie after the credits is the most amazing action scene I have ever seen. MGM went above and beyond the call when they created this scene. The adrenaline pumping action will have you amazed as you see acrobatics you have never imagined. If you have not seen the movie, GO SEE IT OR RENT IT!

The most interesting part of the movie was the storyline. They made James Bond a believable character in this movie. He did not exhibit incredible judgement or supernatural coordination while driving a car, but he remained a believe person who made careless errors and mistakes, which actually had believable consequences.

I will not get into specifics, mainly because I have other things that need tending to, but I recommend this movie to anyone who need something to watch. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
