3 Movies

watched Garden State and I Love Huckabee's, and a weird sci-fi called Dark City.
i thought they were very good
I'm sure Kayla would enjoy Garden state if it wasn't for Zack Braff, who wrote and directed the movie.
I can't even talk about ILH, it was too strange
and Dark City was good, you can watch the whole thing on veoh.com if you download something. Whatever, totally worth it.

etc.

For a second, I would like to tell you about Insomnia, the book of course. I don't remember when I first read the book, but I was obviously a different person. I didn't take from the book from what I took today when i finished reading it, all of it's 787 pages. At the end of the book, the protagonist Ralph Roberts sacrifices himself to save Natalie, a six-year-old girl who is almost his grand-daughter. He does this knowingly, and he made a deal with...well, someone who decides when you die, to trade his life for hers. He sacrifices his happy life with his new wife and beagle. He lets himself go so that he can give life to someone who hasn't lived yet. My grandfather has told me that he has cried at the end of novels, but I didn't think that I ever would.
I feel like a wuss, like a cry-baby. But I guess it's good. It was a great novel, and it helped me discover that personal sacrifice is a virtue that I respect.
I would probably be a Christian if it wasn't for all the other stuff that sucks about Christianity. That's why I'm a Pastafarian. at least, that's what I tell others.

Comic -_-

I started to do one, but it's just so awful with only a touch-pad. I don't even have a mouse. So I should get a touch-pad, but then I may not have enough for a kayak. So I think I'll get a mouse, and a kayak, and then later get a touch-pad.
also, I've been playing dnd more...why do I feel guilty when I say it? Is it a confession of my nerdiness? I need more nerd friends that blog...any my character is a...who cares...sure he has a gun he can shoot spells out of...but that's not gonna get me brownie-points with the ladies. Maybe a kayak will.
I'll also take photos when I kayak, so I'll share it here...probably.
So...
yeah

Dichotomy

I'm happy and excited to go to college
but I'm scared, too.

I still have a lot of graduation money =]

plans:
bank account-check
drivers license-soon
scuba license-weh
buy a kayak-soon

movies to see:
Transformers 2
Hurt Locker
Funny People
they look good, especially the latter two, I want to see the robot one just for robots

I'm glad I'm bored of video games, it's allowing me to read more, but lately I've felt like a home-body. I rarely get out, but I'm also eating way less. Which is good, I suppose.
I'm checking craigslist and ebay for a good deal on a kayak, but seriously, they're expensive. I'll probably have to settle with an inflatable one...probably a cheap one too. Which is lame because I was hoping to do some fishing too...accident to happen.

I need a job.
oh well, at least I don't have to go to school this month
