The Omega Code (film)

The Omega Code (film).

In 1999, when I was 14 years old, me and my family saw the film The Omega Code in the big screen, and I have seen it more than once. It is about the future. It is about a man attempting to take over the world. It is also about this young father who tries to stop him. It is scary.

I also saw Bicentennial Man that year on a Sunday evening. After it was over, I caught the rest of our adult Bible study at our Community Baptist Church in Cornelius, Oregon USA and one at my church told that I should not have seen it and I understand how he feels but I still wanted to see it as the scientist and historian and observer and philosopher that I am.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Here are some SPOILER ALERTS from the film STAR WARS I: THE PHANTOM MENACE. I may spoil and reveal secrets and plot points in this film, in case you have not seen it or something.

When I was 14 years old in the year 1999, I saw the film Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace in the cinema a few times and did not realize at first that Darth Maul was sliced in half.

Cool Kid in 1999

Cool Kid in 1999.

I was playing basketball at our park, which is a few houses from my house, or I mean trailer. This is in my neighborhood, the Rose Grove, in Forest Grove, Oregon USA. I was playing with white-skin Randy, Joe, and brown-skin Hispanic Elder. It started raining. I slid in the rain with my sneakers but I made some shots. They would call me kid. They would see me do things and they would say cool. I was a kid. I was cool. You put the two words together and that is what they started calling me. Either Randy or Elder named me the Cool Kid. Later I would have other nicknames like Ghetto Joe, Joe Dirt, Tweety, Joe Cool. Randy, his brother Joe, and Elder did drugs sometimes. They may have went to jail a few times, or I am not sure.
