So today I saw 300... finally! It was most excellent, and anybody who likes a good, solid new looking action movie should check it out. Frank Miller did the graphic novels that this film is based on (or wasAlso, watching it with the people I work with -- very fun times.
I thought I had been working out pretty well, until I saw this, and found out just what the guys in this movie went through to get themselves into shape for it.
Video HERE
These guys weren't trained to look like warriors... they were trained to BE warriors. Drives me forward a bit more in my workouts. I'll push myself a bit harder now, knowing that if I can have just a portion of what they had in that movie, I'll be happy.
A few more thoughts on 300...
Leonidas... king of Sparta... destroyer of all things Persian
Persian Rugs.... yeah... he's much cooler than those kinds of patterns... even when they try to appease him with their crown designs.
Persian Cats... they're not nearly as cool... all furry and soft and stuff...
Even Persian Food... now... Persian food is pretty tasty (had some for lunch, actually), but I'm sure Leonidas could destroy it... and come back for seconds...
So yeah... all in all... Leonidas destroys all in his path, and dominates all those who oppose him... see the movie for more details on all of that.
WEB ETIQUETTE NOTE: Now, I didn't shoot any of these photos, I've only borrowed them, and I've broken one of my cardinal rules by "hotlinking" them straight onto my blog. I appreciate the bandwidth that I'm jacking with these photos, and I hope that it doesn't crush anybody's server (don't think there's THAT much traffic here, but who knows) in the process. Since I've done the images this way, these could change/disappear at any time, leading to a much less enjoyable post.
Anyway... I hope you've enjoyed, and as always ---
More later...

Wow that was by far the best thing I've seen all morning and even though it's only 8 I've seen a lot of things. Really really funny!
I really liked the movie too
HI-
Great sense of humor Taylor that was really cool. I feel rather educated in everything persian now, thank you. Have you kicked Smash's butt at any games yet, just stick to video games at least cause she wil whoop you in sports for sure once she gets into it. I saw a carton drawing once of " the world tamest lion" and it had kids running all arond and it showed the lion doing all these tricks in which people were poking and prodding him. Well even the most patient and tame people have their breaking points and he just smacks someone in the face. Playfully of course this is a cartoon. It's always reminded me of Smash that one. She is the quiet, I'll stand by and watch type until you say something or do something then it's on and she will bring out this inner source and it's pretty damn freaky HA. So yeah moral of the story, Kate is a Spartan and just stick to playing viedo games with her. :P

OK- how odd is this I want to see this movie and my husband will not go with me. Go figure right. Sounds like you had a great time, good enough to find lots of Persian things to share with us. Hope your having the best friday ever!
The cat part made me laugh.
Hopefully see you tonight if I can make it before midnight :P
