Just a quick question for anyone and everyone... well mainly those of you in the NY area. I need some references on a good tattoo place. The guy who was doing mine is currently in the state pen and I don't think he's getting out soon.
Romantic Comedies
I know its been a long long long time since I've posted an actual blog and no I didn't fall off the face of the Earth I didn't discover anykind of religion, and I sure as hell didn't become somekind of happy shell of my former self. I just really haven't had any real ideas of what to write about. I've had a few that I've brainstormed and just didn't like and ,hell, I think I even posted a couple that I took down after a couple hours cause I didn't find them entertaining at all. Now I think I may have found something to write about that I really hope turns out to be entertaining.
One of my guilty pleasures in life is that I actually watch romantic comedies. Sure, laugh if you want, but theres not one of you out there who hasn't actually enjoyed one of em. I'm not saying I like the majority of em, but some of my favorite movies, including my favorite, High Fidelity, are romantic comedies. You know its the the kind of movie where both the guy and the girl are both hopeless romantics who are single and have given up on love, meet each other, have some cutsie crap happen, some hurdles arise, but in the end love finds its way and everyone is happy. Now my problem is that these movies always have the happy ending. I'm not saying I'm some person who wants them all to have tragic endings, but at least one movie like that would be nice. You know all the above mentioned cutsie crap and hurdles is in it, but the guy ends up screwing it up by sleeping with her slutty friend or the girl decides to go with the ever present asshole that was his competition. Thats what can happen in real life and does.
I know what you're thinking, it's a movie, its not supposed to be real and on top of that if a romantic comedy had a happy ending it would be a tragedy, not a comedy. Then again some of you may not be that smart. I just think it would be great to have a movie where something like that happens and you see the pain and agony that the guy/girl goes through afterwards. Sure, plenty of movies start out with the person being dumped or rejected uncerimoniously, but then they always manage to find a new person to fall for and make everything right. I'd personally like to see a movie where everything seems to be going perfectly well, but then, bam, the shit hits the fan and the guy is consoling himself with a bottle of Jack and is at the strip club throwing singles at some exotic dancer. Love doesn't find a way to conquer all and the movie shows that while one persons happy ending is another persons tragic ending.
Now am I talking about making a movie about my own horrific personal life, no, because even though I'm batting an ARod like playoff average when it comes to love, nothing completely heart destroying as happened to me. I just feel that a movie that shows that even when everything seems to be going right and then unexpectedly goes to hell would be something that people could identify with and maybe even make themselves feel better about themselves. Sure it wouldn't be a good date movie, unless of course you're completely emo, but people could relate.
Now if you didn't enjoy this blog, I don't care.
Well I figured since I'm on this website and since people seem to enjoy my blogs on another website that is fairly popular, I will also share them on here. Hell, maybe I'll even get some friends on here too. I'm gonna start out my journal on here by posting some of my more popular blogs on here and then update them as I see fit, since afterall, it is my page. So here's the first installment; originally posted elsewhere August 25, 2005. Enjoy...
Dating Rant:
Well for everyone who cares, which really should just be me, I'm gonna go on a little rant on dating (what the hell is a rant??). Anyways, everyone is always so keen on people being single and how its the best days of there life. Well I guess the grass is greener on the otherside in this case. I know its not just me, but being in the whole dating game is horrible, especially on the East End of LI where I fit in as well as Alfred at a Klan rally. Sure you learn to take rejection with ease, get a nice drinking habit going, and build up a tolerance to pepperspray (thats a joke, if you actually spray me with that I will hunt you down and force you to listen to Toby Keith all day), but then you're usually spending all your nights with a bunch of guys.
Now I pretty much know why things don't work out in relationships and have a few simple rules that are pretty
much ones I rarely, if ever, follow.
1)Don't date outside of your own kind. No thats not a race thing you bigot, I'm referring to my own subcultural group. Cause if they don't fit in with at least you, you might as well save the 50 bucks you were gonna use for dinner and a movie and bring it to the strip club.
2)If she doesn't laugh at something that is funny, get out. That means she either as no sense of humor, is too stupid to get it, or as no soul. It's that simple.
3)Makes you choose between her and (your friends, hobby, sport, drinking habit)? Get out the holy hand grenade and send that succubus back to the circle of hell from which she was conceived.
4)If your friends have legitimate reasons of why they don't like her, listen to them. They may be dateless losers themselves, but they know you and whats good for you.... but while on that note, just because a friend or many friends tell you a girl is good for you doesn't mean shit. Afterall these people actually like you for who you are, so obviously their judgement is already questionable.
5)Remember, you know yourself the best, so you know what works for you and what doesn't. So if something doesn't seem right to you, act on that feeling. Besides failed relationships are never your fault, right?
So thats it really, well that I'll share with you the uninformed uneducated masses. No one should take this personally by the way since I'm making fun of myself and if you do the aforementioned Toby Keith torture will commence.
