What happened?

There was a time in my life that I went to a lot of movies in the theatre, and more often than not I would see movies I truly wanted to see. Now occasionally there was the dud or chick-flick that I saw because I was hoping to smooch some girl. Flash forward to now. I never see movies in the theatre. For one, it now costs $9.50 for a ticket [I think the oil industry must own the movie industry as well]. Secondly, I have kids. The funny thing is before I had kids, multiple couples told me to enjoy seeing movies in the theatre while I could, because once the kids came it would be over. I laughed figuring they must be exaggerating. Well it turns out there is some weird-spooky connection between having children and not seeing movies in the theatre. To all of the people who advised me on that...good call. And finally, even if Danielle and I figure out a night to go out, we still need to find a baby-sitter. Usually that is not a problem [ie Danielle figures that out] but I am listing it anyways. But in the rare occasion I do venture out into the gread wide open, all of my manhood and decision making has been stripped away from me. I do not see the movies I would choose to see [ie Rambo right about now] but instead see 27 Dresses. Now I have nothing against girly movies [in fact part of me secretly likes them] but I would rather snuggle up with Danielle at home and watch one of them. On a side note, I think there is only one plot line to all girly movies - some attractive girl is for some reason unnattractive (ie she dresses funny, she is too busy caring for others to care for herself, she is always dating the wrong guy, whatever) until she meets Mr. Right. They fall in love, they have a fight, they end back together, big sloppy kiss, the end. Back to my point, I would rather see the action packed or insanely funny movies in the theatre. Apparently though, that ship set sail a few years back. So if you find yourself reading this and you aren't married or at the very least you don't have kids...go and see Rambo for me. At least you'll enjoy the violence.
