That's right. You heard me. I own an iPhone. And instantly upon purchase, I became, skinnier, younger, richer and hipper. Well, at least the latter.

Suffer Little Children

1 comment | posted May 28

 

It seems to me that, when people get married, they cease to grow as individuals. When individual growth stops, your partner has nothing new to cling to when your old shit becomes intolerable. People get lazy. They gain too much weight. The kids take too high a priority. People stop being involved in a social cause, stop going to Bible studies, stop being concerned with political issues. What's left? I mean, other than a GIANT gap that another person can fill without even trying?

Bukowski, Rollins, and George W. Bush

post a comment | posted Apr 26

 

Though I have not abandoned my party by any means, nor have they given me any concrete reason to do so, other than minor quibbles with one policy or another, I find myself wondering WHY and HOW I got to this hue in the political spectrum. Let me explain...

Apocalypto- The Movie and the Tower

post a comment | posted Dec 9

 

I am more horrified by audiences than with directors these days. I saw The Departed last night, and the same fact is true in this film and that: the more shocking and direct the violence depicted on screen, the more the audience laughs. I have NO IDEA why this is true, but it is. In the most inappropriate times, people are cracking up. But I believe it is simply because people just don't know how else they SHOULD react. They're at a loss, so they laugh.

Borat- The Movie and the Tower

post a comment | posted Nov 19

 

No movie has better illustrated the stories in the Bible and the mighty works of God's hand. I mean, to see a man who has suffered through so much, has gone so far from his country, and to see who he becomes- it is moving to the point of tears.

I'm just fuckin' with you. But it was pretty damn funny.

Babel- The Movie and the Tower

post a comment | posted Nov 18

 

We are all striving, working, tenaciously hanging on to something, and all of us are confused and completely dismantled by language itself. And I don't only mean people who actually SPEAK a different language. How many times have you said something to a spouse, child, parent, girlfriend or boyfriend and they COMPLETELY misunderstand your words? You were clear. You were concise. You made your point. And yet, not one thing you said was actually translated as you intended. It happens all the time.

Why I Wish the End Was Near

post a comment | posted Oct 11

 

I though about it earlier this week, but I just don't want to be part of this society anymore. I don't want to participate. I don't want to get along. I don't want to play nice. It's all become too obnoxious to even try anymore. Of course, I'm always desperately polite, because I know how to behave in public, unlike seemingly everyone else I run into.

Hard Candy Indeed

post a comment | posted Sep 30

 

As I stood up, it hit me. I stood erect. With purpose. I squared my shoulders, lowered my head, my eyebrows set heavy, and I walked with the purpose of a battalion. Something grew in me, made me invincible, and I knew I had connected with something much larger than myself.
