- reacquaint myself with a few people my schedule has kept me from talking to.
- make a trip to VA to visit family i havent seen in 2 years.
- learn to play the banjo. (fuck you, i think the banjo is fuckin awesome)
- develop a normal and sane sleeping schedule.
- watch football when the season starts...i swear to god ive watched maybe 5 games (in their entirety) in the last 3 years.
- also watch the 5th season of Lost once that starts in january. i watched the first season religiously, then was unable to watch it thereafter because it came on when i was asleep. though DVDs and the internet have gotten me caught up.
- go to the movies more than 4 times a year.
- hit great adventure several times to make having a season pass worthwhile and make up for not going at all this year.
- learn a foreign language...im thinking hindi...dont ask why, ive just always found it kind of a pretty language to hear.
- catch the roadrunner. (okay i actually ran out of shit)
- i can look at kids today and think about how much easier certain things are for them than they were for me. for instance...when i was in high school, we didnt have the internet....when we wrote a paper, we had to go to the goddamn library and use this thing called, "the vertical file." on a side note, we used to refer to it as, "the vertical smile."
- when i mention something i remember from my life very clearly and the person im talking to doesnt because they werent born.
- i look at a girl and i dont know if shes old enough for me to be ogling her.
- i look at a girl and i dont care if shes old enough for me to be ogling her. (okay, in all fairness, that makes me a perv, not old, but i digress)
- i have had to, on more than one occasion, show someone how to operate a turntable.
- i realized the other day that my sisters 10 year wedding anniversary is this year. the wedding seems not that long ago to me.
- along the same line...Guns n' Roses' Appetite For Destruction came out 21 year ago. ouch.
- i had a client last week who was 18. no biggie, right? until i looked at his birth year. 1990. this means there are people born in the 90s who can buy cigarettes, vote, and get drafted.
- i feel old
- Man on Fire - AKA Denzel Washington goes apeshit. Firebrand summed this movie up perfectly, "its what The Punisher should have been." i concur.
- Children of Men - i will be the first to admit that Clive Owen is one of my boy crushes and that i love most of the movies he has been in, but this one blew my fucking mind.
- Inside Man - also starring the two aforementioned actors and possibly Spike Lee's finest movie ever. at the very least, his best since Do the Right Thing.
- Waking Life - a lot of people wont be able to watch this movie because theres no real plot, just a bunch of philosophy and talk about dreams. i happen to LOVE it. and if you happen to enjoy inbibing chemicals, i recommend doing so before and while watching this.
- Severance - british horror/comedy. very dark and very funny. what is it about the british that gives them the ability to blend humor and the grotesque so much better than their american counterparts?
- There Will Be Blood - of course my list would not be complete without a DDL movie. but rather than my usual verbal fellatio of him, i will instead laud Paul Dano who also stars in this movie...you remember him from Little Miss Sunshine as the big brother. as charming as he was in that, you will HATE his ass in this movie. not just because hes a dick, but because hes a cowardly, sniveling little shit you want to punch in the throat.
- Primer - youve never heard of this movie, im sure. and i doubt you will find it at blockbuster. HOWEVER, if you are a sci-fi nerd and you have netflix, put this in your que. it is probably the best movie involving time travel that i have ever seen. it almost makes it seem plausible with VERY few plot holes. although it may take more than one viewing to figure out what the hell is going on.
- motherfucking The Dark Knight - yeah, im going to jump on this bandwagon. although i doubt anyone hasnt seen this movie at this point, it deserves a plug anyway. just wow!
- catch a cold
- get kicked in the cojones
- read a Hemmingway novel
- get a brazillian
- hang out with an ex
- hold someones hair while they vomit, then listen to them tell me about how ugly they are
- butterbean - seriously, i dont even know if this guy has survivalist training. i dont think he will need it.
- this guy - fast-forward to about 2:00 minutes in to see where it starts getting good
- stephen hawking - aha! didnt see this one coming, did you? what you didnt know is that by this time, Mr. Hawking will have become a being of pure energy
- W. - yes, i know it pains most of you to hear this, but its gonna happen. nothing can get rid of him. and hes already outlasted one group of zombies. we call them congress.
- keith richards - zombies only feed on the living. keith only partially fits that. at the very least the undead would mistake him for one of their own and leave him be.
4 things drivers do that make me want to murder them
- doing the speed limit in the fast lane. seriously...if you are in the left lane, have several empty car-lengths in front of you and several cars behind you passing you one by one, youre in the wrong lane. get the fuck out of the way. better yet, drive off the road into a tree.
- rather than using your turn signal like a decent person to indicate that you want to change lanes, hovering in the lane next to me waiting for me to drop back 6 inches so you can cut me off. youre not getting in front of me. kiss my black ass.
- not being in the turn lane and realizing you have to turn so you stop traffic waiting for the chance to get into the appropriate lane. fact of the matter is, YOU fucked up. deal with it. go straight, turn around, try again. the world doesnt revolve around you. the world doesnt start and stop on your fucking whim. get the fuck out of my way.
- you cant find a place to parallel park so you just "park" half in the lane with your hazzards on. THATS NOT A GODDAMN PARKING SPACE, ITS THE FUCKING ROAD. if i was a cop, i would ticket these pricks on sight.
- "Eat a dick, old man!"
- "I hope your ass falls off!"
- "I'm going to fucking strangle you with your hoodie!" (screamed at some hipster pedestrian crossing during a green light when there was lots of traffic)
- smoke a bowl
- write this goddamn paper thats due tomorrow. good news is its only two pages. i can do two pages hung over in 2 hours before class. thats not a random hypothetical, thats a true story.
1 person now under my control through subliminal messages
It was a toss up! And while animals does have its moments, it just doesn't have that turn off the lights and drift feel. Both are great for their own purposes but for replayability, i'd go Dark Side, The Final Cut, The Wall, Animals. If we're talking Floyd of course
