A Tongue-In-Cheek Discourse on Romance in the Cinema [26 Nov 2006|10:37pm] While I was away, I discovered why relationships fail. Amazing, no? What's more amazing is that I'm going to share this epiphany with you lovestruck schmucks. Are you ready for it? The reason why relationships fail can be tracked to the movie Titanic. Now, I know what all you girls are thinking out there. Probably something akin to "Aww, but Titanic was such a beautiful movie and Leonardo was so great and everything about it was just so romantic". Of course you are, and that's the problem. Only in a world this screwy would we think a movie where the cheating strumpet lives to go on and lead an adventurous life while the artist sacrifices himself, is 'romantic'. Need more proof? Let's consider other fundamentally romantic movies or works of literature. Tristan and Iseult? So romantic, right? The lass cheats on her husband with his nephew, and poor Tristan gets skewered? Run the trollop through, I say. What about Cyrano? Big-nosed poet hooks up handsome prince with his shallow object of interest, and big-nose gets a log to the head and an early death for his troubles. Or what about If Only? Jennifer Love Hewitt dies, and her poor English bastard boyfriend gets a chance to save her, by taking her place so she can go on to become a rock star? Now, it's no wonder that guys hate chick flicks. Its not because we're hard asses with no capacity for love. It's because the damn guy in these movies always ends up dead or worse off than he started. No more, I say! The next chick flick I see will involve some big breasted blonde catching hypothermia and dying for her man. Or getting a log dropped on her head. Yes, that would suffice. 4 felt the moment slip away |Am I just like you?

For the Widows in Paradise, and for me [23 Mar 2006|11:36am] I'm an idiot. I truly am. I had taken two TRAD classes previously, and thought I was covered- but they were both TRAD 102's and I didn't realize that you have to have an arrangement of something like a TRAD 101 and a TRAD 102, or etc. What does this mean for our valiant hero? It means that next semester I'll be stuck in another GEN ED!!!! YAY! Me, a senior, in a pool of freshmen? Disgusting, right? But then I got to thinking...freshmen girls. Supple, impressionable females. So, I'm gonna take "Eroticism and Love in the Middle Ages". I also have to take a Tier Two INDV I was putting off, unless I can convince the College of Humanities to let it slide. So I'll be taking a Linguistics class called "Meaning in Language and Society". That settled, I started looking over English classes and saw that English 373B wasn't showing up as offered. Peculiar. (As an aside, every time I hear someone mention that class, all I can think of is Outkast's Sorry Mrs Jackson). So I'm gonna see about getting into 373B, and then for my last class(es) I'll have Wendy put me in some Modern and Contemporary Literature classes (ish). That withstanding, Mckinsey and I are hopefully going to go watch V for Vendetta tonight after Kelly's concert. Which, is all I will say on that topic. So that I might avoid ashamed sighs from the mouths of Sarah, Kel, and the like. They would all tell me to pursue her, and perhaps they'd be right. Mckinsey's amazing. Bar none. She and I have history, She's intelligent, and she hates where we grew up more than I do and wants to travel the world. So, from that standpoint it'd make sense that I should try to be with her. But, every time I start to think about having a relationship- I just picture the legions of impressionable girls awaiting my furtive glance. Granted, most of those supple girls have been replaced by the homeless and freaks, but I do promise that I have been in the company of beautiful girls in the past. How can I justify happiness at 22? How can I justify falling in love? 2 felt the moment slip away |Am I just like you?

[31 Jan 2006|10:56am] You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three. </td> Captain Jack Sparrow 96% James Bond, Agent 007 79% Batman, the Dark Knight 79% Indiana Jones 71% William Wallace 67% The Amazing Spider-Man 67% Maximus 63% El Zorro 54% Neo, the "One" 50% The Terminator 50% Lara Croft 33% Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com Am I just like you?
