Why?

Why do we always flinch when we drop something? 

We are conscious of the movement. We prepare ourselves for the sound. We drop hard things, soft things, big things, small things all day everyday and yet we always flinch.

What does that tell you about man?
I think that when we see a celebrity that we like, whether they be a musician or actor, we automatically assume that we know what they're about.  We make judgements from their style and their sound and we make it into something that we like.  Like if a guy sings acoustic music, people assume that he's either gay or this sensitive, perfect person.  And then if we find out that what we think about that person isn't true, we're crushed and we can never think of that person the same way, and our judgement ruins our perception of said person.

It's a horrible realization because we all know that it's true and we all know that we've done it before.

I am Jack's Smirking Revenge

I love the scene in Fight Club where the guy with the hose starts spraying the Priest (?) and they get into a fight and then the fat guy chases the guy on the bike.

Be Your Own Hero

I saw the movie Whip It last night, and it was actually incredible. I had a smile on my face the entire time. It was funny, endearing, and rebellious all at the same time. It just enforced my belief that Ellen Page is easily the greatest actress of our time under 25. She was incredible. My dad called her "cutesy". Since it was a special sneak peak, I got a tee shirt.

Seriously, when it comes out, GO SEE IT. Out October 2nd.
