Awesome, Who Framed Roge...What the FUCK!

Close your eyes.

Imagine it is Christmas morning and you are 7 years old. There is only 1 gift from Santa that you have been looking forward to all night. You see a package that looks like it might be the gift. Butterflies start turning in your stomach as you get excited about opening it up. You know what it is, but you don't want anyone else to know. You grab the present and start to tear into it, only to find out that it's not what you thought.

I had this happen to me when I was 7. That year, Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out on VHS. I wanted it so bad because it was the movie to have at that time. Everyone else was getting that for Christmas, so why would I think differently. I remember waking up that morning, so excited to get to watch that movie, that that was the first present I looked for.

I found a package sticking out of my stocking that resembled a VHS tape wrapped up. Butterflies are starting to fly around in my stomach. I grab it and start to open it up. Now the movie had been out for a while and I knew what the box looked like. But the more I opened up this present, the more I noticed that it didn't look like WFRR.

WHAT THE FUCK IS LAND OF FARAWAY?!

That is what this box said on it, instead of WFRR. I didn't believe it at first. I looked at my mom and asked her where WFRR was. She didn't get it for me. She got THE LAND OF FUCKING FARAWAY instead! She said it looked neat.

NEAT. ALL I GET IS NEAT. FUCK THAT!

If you ever want to crush a kid, get them THE LAND OF FUCKING FARAWAY for Christmas. I watched that movie once and I have no idea what it is about. I still have it to this day. You would think that I would have destroyed it the first chance that I got, but no. I kept it as a reminder of how shitty a Christmas gift could be.

So if you are out and you happen to see this gem of a movie, get for someone you don't like. It will make you feel better inside, just to know that you gave them a shitty gift. I wonder if this movie would be a good wedding gift? What do you think Gallick?

What it would be like

I watched a documentary on HBO yesterday called "Shot in the Dark". It was about this guys search for his father. He was doing this to see what he missed out on in life. It got me thinking, which sometimes shouldn't be done. Anyway, would I be different if my parents had stayed together? I don't know how to answer this except for the fact that when my parents got divorced and I moved away with my mom, I met the best friends a person could ask for. They had a huge effect on why I am the way I am. Of course now that I am a little older, I don't talk to most of them, just the ones who are my true friends. So by thinking about that, I think that I wouldn't be the same person I am today without the divorce. I think I would be more of a loner. You see, my dad and I didn't get along to well. IF my parents would have stayed together, I don't think that I would have had the opportunities that I had growing up. Sure, I would have learned how to shave from him, but I did that on my own. I also could've had my first beer with him, but I did that with my friends. It's just the little things that I kind of missed out on. Things like having your dad shake your hand after he found out your were finally a man, or him being there on the day you graduate high school. You know, the little stuff. Am I upset about this? Not as much as you might think. I know that I have issues that come from this, but everyone has issues. Everyone has their own little quirks that makes them different. Mine just happens to be this. But what I realized from the show last night is that if I ever want to resolve whatever issues I may have, I am going to have to be the bigger man and make the first step. Well actually it would be my second step to his none, but who is counting.

Drama: Everyone's Favorite

I have noticed in my short existence on Earth that drama can be found anywhere. It wrecks friendships, marriages and families. Most of the time it is unwanted, some people can never escape it and it's just wrong in general. I am not going into specifics here, but I am going to throw my views on it out there. If we all know drama can cause some serious shit, then why does drama always seem to happen. I know that there is always going to be drama, but some people just seem to invite it into their lives. Or vise versa, some people just like to start drama where it isn't needed. Drama was one of the major downfalls in my last relationship. I remember fighting over stupid little things that just tore us apart. Now believe me when I say that wasn't the only reason for that relationships' demise, there were other factors. But drama had a huge part in it. I think about that all the time. Do we really need drama in life? The answer is yes. The reason we need it: I don't know. I hate it. I hate fighting. But yet, it happens all the time.

Time for a change, go out to the bar!

I am not one to go out to the bars all the time. In college it was the thing to do. But that was college. Now going to a bar every once in a while is a good thing. You get to see people you haven't seen in a while, like your old friend from high school who you hated, but now they just want to talk to ya. You also get to hear the lastest Dixie Chicks song, which I am a huge, huge fan of. Plus, I don't know about you, but I love buying random chicks' drinks all night. Most of the time when I don't go the the bar, I enjoy hanging with my friends, drinking at one of their places. This can be extremely fun too. You are always around people you like, music of your choice, most of the time, and drinking games that no one would ever get sick of. EVER! THE best is when one of us gets pissed at their significant other and takes it out on the rest of us for no reason. This happens quite often. Which is why I say, " Lets go to the bar".

How hard is it to drive?

Today on my way to work this morning, I was almost in 3 different accidents. This isn't because of the way I was driving, it was because of the way the people around me were driving. 2 of them weren't that big of a deal, you know, the idiot trying to change lanes while talking on their cell phone. But the 3rd one really pissed me off. I was driving on a road that goes from 3 lanes down to 2. Well as the third lane dissappeared, the car behind, driven by a woman, decided that she would try to go around anyways. Well just when she started to go around, the car in front of me decided to slam on their brakes. So naturally I hit my brakes and the car behind me did the same, but got really pissed off. I didn't get this at first, until I started to think about it later. She was pissed, I guess, becasue she didn't get her way. Fuck her. It's a wonder she wasn't on her cell phone at the time. Then as soon as she got a chance to go around me she did. So I noticed that her windows were down so I had to yell something. I did. This was the first thing that came to my mind at 7:45 in the morning. "Hey learn how to fuckin drive!" Which in reply I got a big "Fuck You", but in a very girly voice. She started to slam on her brakes to get next to me, but thought otherwise, i guess. Anyway, the point of this story isn't supposed to be funny. I don't even know if there is a point to this. It just makes me furious that I can't even drive to work without almost getting into an accident. It gets worse everyday. That's it for now.
