| Looking for the most trite title I can find and there it is.
Sometimes life is amazing. You revel in just how lucky you are. These things include the end of finals party, friends ' birthdays and first kiss and second kisses and third kisses.
Sometimes life sucks. You are entirely displeased. These things include getting your wallet stolen, getting your ass kicked, and getting into a car accident.
Sometimes life is content and warm. You're not enthralled but there are certainly worse things. These include waking up and reading in bed on a rainy day, playing video games with your brother, and biting into a warm chicago style pizza.
And sometimes life just plain sucks ass. Not just a little but a lot. And not by itself so you can't even be that displeased. These include heart breaking and death.
But when life sucks. You suck it up and when it punches you in the face you laugh. Cause you got hope. Because who knows what the hell is gonna happen next?

| After what seems like forever I must state that:
I JUST LOST THE GAME.

| I woke up to an intense wave of nostalgia today. Maybe because the last video tape I watched was an old recording of south pacific in highschool and it's been in my VCR since.
Then I wikied Dublin, Coffman and just thought back.
When do we transition into being adults. I know I still don't feel that way. I still watch cartoons. I still act like a kid (even when sober sometimes). When are we going to be adults?
I have to be sometime soon. In 2 years, maybe even this summer I'll be representing people. In 5 years it might be thousands of dollars. In 10 it might be millions.
Of course I started picking apart the judicial system the more I looked at it and... it's discouraging sometimes. But it's the only system that will work for us right now.
I want to act again. Or to do something artistic. I need a piano. Just something to play for myself and for fun. I've never been as talented as a lot of my friends. But I like playing. It's soothing. I haven't touched the keys of a piano for over 8 months now. I'm sure I'd be terrible.
On another note I want a motorcycle. Been online shopping. But it is possible I'll be making fairly good money this summer. And even with the massive debt I've got. Why not buy something fun for myself?

| Nothing against smokers and nothing against mothers but the two combined? It's like pregnant women that drink. Why?
I mean you can smoke whenever your kid isn't around. And maybe the kid is around all the time, but that's most likely a conscious activity that caused it at some point.
I mean if you really want to hurt your kid I hear draino or a nice plugged in hairdyer by the bathtub would work equally well. I mean people have a right to smoke, but honestly holding a baby and lighting up just screams social services to me. The only worse parents I know tend to name their children Sunday Rain.
Peace

| So finally saw the dark knight tonight and I am unsure as to whether or not it is better than the Dark knight.
So I had my doubts but Ledger did do a good job with the Joker and I definitely applaud their decision to keep him alive at the end. That was the worst thing about the original batman (which was good, give it a 7) was that they killed off Batman's arch nemises in the first episode. The only thing that will ever kill the Joker is time. The two need each other. They're self-perpetuating.
I disagree if they killed Dent off though. I mean I think he might not be dead. I mean his chest wasn't moving and they had that speech at the end, but they never actually used the phrase "dead" at the end. And the fall probably wouldn't kill him.
So I applaud the fact that they didn't kill him at the end. I do think the scarecrow should have played a more pivotal role though. And I also think that Dent should have waited to become two-face until the end of the movie. I mean it was a nice touch having him go off and kill people and all that in the idea that the Joker won. But I would have spun it so that Bats beat the Joker and then as an unveiling it showed him at the very end with the two cops tied up, him flipping the coin, and then the sound of a gun shot.
I don't know. Packing in a pivotal person like two-face at the very end... Dent has always been more a tragic figure and I think they did a good job of that but I would have liked to see more of a development between Dent and Wayne more before the scarring.
Good decision killing off Dawes though. Opens up an opportunity to introduce Catman. Although I think for the third flick it should be Talia Al Ghul as a new love interest. You can bring back Ras and then mastermind the utter destruction of Arkham. Just an idea.
But I give the dark knight a 9. Excellent movie but not perfect.
