Making My Ears Bleed...
Cast It Out
The Autumn Effect (iTunes Version)
By 10 Years


Happy birfday to me! Twenty-two on the twentysecond, a once in a lifetime event.
Enough about me and more about other stuff.
Such as... The Da Vinci Code movie
and I have no job (please call me Remedy Staffing)

The Da Vinci Code movie
*******************
(if you haven't seen it or read the book this ditribe is a bit of a spoiler. you have been warned)
*******************
Ok here's my review.BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING!
For once I agree with the French. In Cannes, they laughed at it. In Temple, I would laugh if I wasn't in danger of falling asleep. There was an undue amount of talking. It was like watching an audiobook. One thing that caught my attention was when they brokedown the surname "Sangreal." Sang | real. "Sang" - Latin for blood and "real" where "regal" or "royal" is derived. Hence, sangreal means blood royal or royal blood when the adjective-noun order is rearranged into the English agreement. This last name indicated the bloodline of Christ.
Now to break it down Texas-style, Latin is the root of three languages: Italian, French, and Spanish. The Latin word "sang" looks remarkably similar to the Spanish word "SANGre" which means blood!
Ok language lesson over. The overarching danger the movie and book pose is the historical ignorance of the viewer and/or reader. Thats all for now.

Happy Birthday!

An article somewhere (I can't find it now) caught my attention recently that looked at the possibility of Jesus having descendants statistically. Its conclusion was that if anyone alive today is a blood descendant of Christ, then almost everyone is. That is just the way things work when you have 2000 years for people to get around, and you have some decent persecution early on to scatter people faster.
Just a thought.
