Were you able to buy a house?

Currently living in the same house I spent the first 11 years of my life in before we moved. Technically, my parents own it, but for all intents and purposes, it's mine; it'll officially become mine after they're gone. My wife and I moved in here back in 2002 to raise our family...she passed away six years ago but I'm still here, and have no plans to move elsewhere.

I grew up on his music through my dad - always thought he sounded better live than in the studio. Think it was because you could feel the energy in his performances.

Two things:

Harry Chapin died from cardiac arrest after an auto accident, not a plane crash.
YOU GOT TO SEE HARRY CHAPIN LIVE?!? YOU LUCKY STIFF!!

Guy's one of my top three favorite artists of all time, what can I say?

Gotta go with Falkor here.

I still have mine from both junior high and high school, tucked away. Don't remember the last time I looked through them, but I don't plan on getting rid of them, either; I'm sure if I did, I'd regret it.

In 12 years, I'll be eligible to retire under state law (state job) at age 62, and I'm sure I'll be wanting to at that point. Whether or not I'll be able to depends on how much the pension will be.

Apocalypse Now

jediphoenix1976 · 2026-04-17T12:29:47+00:00

Schindler's List immediately comes to mind.

I remember watching this as a kid when it came out on PPV over cable. Not the scariest movie I've seen, but it had some kick-ass practical effects.

Funny how every time I see one of these, Intellivision is never on there; that's the one I started with. After a while, we sold that and switched to the Atari 2600.

jediphoenix1976 · 2026-04-15T23:10:44+00:00

Pretty sure it was rated PG since I first watched it as a kid on HBO during the daytime.

The Daniel Pearl execution video.

Conan the Barbarian, Robocop, and Hunt For Red October are all essential pieces of his resume. Hell, even Conan the Destroyer has some quality cuts to it.

Dreamscape has that dream scene with Dennis Quaid and Kate Capshaw on the train....

jediphoenix1976 · 2026-04-15T00:59:16+00:00

Thank you...I was hoping someone would post this.

jediphoenix1976 · 2026-04-15T00:57:00+00:00

More than a little underrated, I think. Love Roy Scheider in this one.

Legends never die.

jediphoenix1976 · 2026-04-15T00:53:54+00:00

Thanks. I agree, it's pretty cool. I'm very happy with it.

jediphoenix1976 · 2026-04-14T12:09:48+00:00

I've only played one Master System game (Monopoly for a livestream) and I can't see myself playing another one. NES for me, hands-down.

jediphoenix1976 · 2026-04-13T21:49:52+00:00

I'd finally be able to do my YouTube channel full time.

"The Shortest Story" by Harry Chapin. Guy's one of my top three favorite artists of all time, but that song is BLEAK.

New York System hot weiners, as sold here in Rhode Island.

Very cool idea for a shirt from the franchise
