I decided to do a Friends Cut. So comment if you want to stay.
Someone else's LJ got me thinking. It's funny how we all claim that we've changed from high school (some for good, some for worse). But no one is willing to see these changes if they're good. People are quick to judge you for mistakes you've made in the past, despite all of your good qualities. They don't want to accept that you may just be a good person. But as soon as you fuck something up now, they are quick to judge you again.
My whole point is we are all the same. I think that it's human to try to find all of the worst qualities of other people to feel good about yourself. But, when you look at things as a whole, we are all the same, striving for the same things. Happiness, love, truth.
I guess people will always find some reason to not like you.
I watched the Devil's Advocate for the first time last night. Whoa. Crazy and intense! I thought Al Pacino was wonderful as the devil. What I got from the movie is that there is always a constant battle between good and evil. Anyway, I don't want to give much away in case no one's seen it. But man. Good stuff. And I can't believe I just now picked up on the John Milton parallel to his Paradise Lost. Wow.
The only thing I would complain about was Keanu's questionable southern accent. That thing really came and went. But I think that it was one of the best movie performances I've ever seen from him.
Okay, I'm gonna go take a shower.
