I CAN RESIST EVERYTHING EXCEPT TEMPTATION

live for nothing or die for SOMETHING

Twenty years after the last film in the series, John Rambo has retreated to Northern Thailand, where he's running a longboat on the Salween river. On the nearby Thai-Burma border, the world's longest-running civil war, the Burmese-Karen conflict, rages into its 60th year. But Rambo, who lives a solitary, simple life in the jungle fishing and catching poisonous snakes to sell, has long given up fighting, even as medics, mercenaries, rebels and peace workers pass by on their way to the war-torn region.

That all changes when a group of human rights missionaries search out the "American river guide" John Rambo. When Sarah and Michael Bennett approach him, they explain that since last year's trek to the refugee camps, the Burmese military has laid landmines along the road, making it too dangerous for overland travel. They ask Rambo to guide them up the Salween and drop them off, so they can deliver medical supplies and food to the Karen tribe. After initially refusing to cross into Burma, Rambo takes them, dropping off Sarah, Michael Bennett, and the aid workers...

Less than two weeks later, pastor Arthur Marsh finds Rambo and tells him the aid workers did not return and the embassies have not helped locate them. He tells Rambo he's mortgaged his home and raised money from the congregation to hire mercenaries to get the missionaries, whi are being held captive by the Burmese army. Although the United States military trained him to be a lethal super soldier in Vietnam, decades later Rambo's reluctance for violence and conflict are palpable, his scars faded, yet visible. However, the lone warrior knows what he must do...




Rambo not indispensable!

Even old and plastic surgerized, Rambo still kicks ass. I only wish that at retirement age I could be so lucky as to be running around Burma garroting and knifing at will. Maybe if I had a Rascal...

I’ve been a bad wrinkles

and have neglected to post for quite some time. It's not that nothing has been happening, just that I'm lazy and busy at work. I have a lot of pictures to upload and when I do, well let's just say that another photoblog will be under my belt. I think you should be most excited about the White Trash party...because I am.

So please understand that momma's been busy, it's not that she doesn't love you. But you do kinda disappoint.
