the 25th hour, orange peels, the hardest button to button

the drop in tension since my mom's departure is palpable. it's a relief, but also kind of sad.

i've been thinking about it a lot, and i almost feel bad, as in, wrong, for getting angry at my parents. the more honest i am, the less i can blame them for the whole sorry situation. they could be more reasonable, but i don't really deserve a break. you said it - don't ask for nothing.

there's a scene in the movie i just watched, the 25th hour, where ed norton, who's about to serve seven years for dealing drugs, walks into a bar bathroom. there's a small 'fuck you' scrawled in the corner of the mirror, and monty (his character) goes on this long tirade about no, fuck you, new york. it's a pretty masterful segment. there's a similar montage in do the right thing, also directed by spike lee. anyway, he finishes ranting about everyone and everything and it cuts back to him staring into the mirror. no, fuck you, montgomery brogan. you had it all, and you fucked it up.
