What is America without greed and glamor?

The other night Lizzie and I saw Clerks II. I have to say, that movie is alright at best and a huge dissapointment. I didn't even go into that movie expecting much of anything. Kevin Smith has totally lost it. He is making crummy love movies with plots so obvious and bland that I found myself wondering when the movie would end. Maybe I've become jaded in my life and Kevin Smith's later movie just come off as weak written filled with things that to me seem so painfully obvious and so basic that I don't really find his movies "profound and interesting." I am currently watching things of substance like "Boondocks" and "Battlestar Galactica". Of course as I watched Clerks II, I thought of my old ex-friend and his love for Kevin Smith flicks and high school movies. Recently, Brandon told me to grow up but...I farted and realized that I honestly can't do that. If I were to grow up, I think I'd lose the fire. Besides, I like having fun. The one thing I see a lot of in Kevin Smith flicks are people not really enjoying living. Sure, the end of Clerks II depicts them enjoying their life but honestly, it just settling for the crap life you have and instead of being a master of it and getting something better, they choose to further enslave themselves to it by taking over a broken system. They should have done more. Randal just convinced himself that he is a failure and he liked his job. If he took some initiative when he was younger, I am certain he would be saying something totally different. Ah well, he runs a quick mart. I guess that is great. I guess they are advanced. I didn't write the movie, if I did, I would have used title cards more than once as a novelty reference in the movie.

Other news, other things dealing with stuff you probably don't care about but might think about:

In other news this week, a buncha stuff happened. Holy crap. Seriously though, Lizzie is going to be living closer to me which is going to be a great thing. I have decided to buy a new bed. My old bed sucks and I need a new one. Also, I'm looking forward to the first fall of my life where I don't have to go to school. I am still going to hit the book store and buy lots of "brain food" because a mind is a weapon and you must train with it, you must take care of it. So, polish your steel. Stay frosty everyone.
