Look, Up in the Sky

Its me, and its been awhile.
No picture of the scar yet, it is really disgusting.

I never thought I'd be so busy with nothing to do. I have finished uni but still seem to be always doing something.
I can't really complain though considering it consists of going to the U2 Vertigo Tour, Alana's Grad Ball & The Ladies Day at the races.
Id just like to sleep in is all I'm saying.

I like the idea of Ragnarok for those of you who don't know what it is, and i admit there is no reason you should. Its from Norse Mythology. It deals with the end of the world, for the gods. It is a battle waged between the gods & monsters, mostly Loki's children.
I like it because of the part the gods play in it. They know, from the moment their born that they will one day perform certain events which will lead to their downfall.
Thor knows that Jörmungandr (A serpant that can encircle the earth) will kill him. Its foretold, it will happen & he knows it. Yet when the time comes Thor picks up his hammer and goes to battle. He knows he will win, but he also knows he will die and I think thats something to be respected.
Doing the right thing, no matter what the cost.

Anyway trying not to sound to preachy. Heres a top 5:
Top 5 Movie Battles (Comic Book Movies) - Contains Spoilers:
1. Wolverine (& Some X Kids) Vs Strykers Troops: Quite simply the best scene in any comic book movie (apart from Superman 2 for personal reasons). Its hinted that Wolverine is a killer in the first movie but you don't really see it until he goes off on the troops who invade the mansion. Also seeing Colossus for the first time in the movies makes it even better.

2. Superman Vs The Three Kryptonians: Ok, so its not exactly sticking to the comic in terms of his powers. Being in several places at once is cool, but unexplainable, as is the wierd shield net thing he throws. But all is forgiven when Superman & Lex 'team' up. The double cross, leading to the hand crushing. This was what made Superman for me.

3. Spiderman Vs Doctor Octopus: The fights between these two were incredible. Spiderman uses everything he has to try & put Ock away. Referencing the first movie and just the speed of the fight make it one to remember.

Ok here is a copy of the trailer for Spiderman 3. If you haven't seen it and liked the first two i strongly suggest grabbing it before Sony pulls it down.

4. The Incredible Hulk Vs Everyone: Ok this isn't from the boring Hulk movie with Eric Bana, its from the Ultimate Avengers animated movie. Hulk first takes out an alien menace then fights with the rest of the Avengers. Not as good as the fight from the comic but still damn cool.

5. Fantastic Four Vs Doctor Doom: Ok, the whole movie leads up to this. It looks like Doom has it won. The Thing is human again, Johnny was being chased by the rocket, Reed is frozen and Sue is being attacked. When Doom looks to have won, the Thing bursts in and he and Doom have a great fight out of the building into the street, where Doom has to deal with all four at once.
