100 Random Questions!

Hey everyone. Instead of doing a regular post, I'm going to answer one of those annoying chain emails I occasionally get. It my not be as interesting as a regular post, but it kils just as much time. For added fun and time-wasting, you can answer the survey yourself. I don't know if it'll all fit in a comment box, but you can email it to me so I can critique it and make funof you. Who knows? Maybe I can milk another ost out of it.

Also, props to Kim for updating again. Let's all hope it catches on this time.

Naturally. The interesting thing about my crushes is that I was wrong to have crushes on every single one of them. Seriously. I don't know where my head was at.

70. Who is the last person who called you?:
No body ever calls me. Except for all the times that they do.

73. Hate:
Pretty much everything and everyone at one point or another.

Watching tv by yourself at 4:00 in the morning while eating cookies and drinking long island iced-teas. Pretty much a daily occurance for me.

Seriously, You People Don't Deserve Me

I'd like to start out with a simple question: Why the heck isn't anyone else updating their blogs anymore? I'm pretty inconsistent with my updates, but I've never let you yokels down yet. Meanwhile, none of the blogs I'm linked to have updated in over a month. Get on the ball, people! Seriously!

Once again, I'm updating without a specific topic in mind. That means I'll have to resort to another exciting segment of listing the thoughts in my head.

1) It's occured to me that if I were in a a movie, or book, or something, I probably wouldn't be the main character (unless the book was a biography about me, and even then I'd probably only appear in a few chapters. This isn't really a revalation, as I'm sure most people aren't really protagionist-material. What startled me, however, was the realization that I probably would be an antagonist. In most forms of entertainment, people root for the underdog. Exciting stories have the little guy beating the big guy and overcoming adversity and whatnot. This comes up a lot in real life. The thing is, in the little daily contests I go through in life, whenever there's an audience they aren't rooting for me, but rather my opponent. After analyzing the phenonemon a while, I've come the conclusion that I'm the big guy in these contests. Obviously my superiority is evident to all. This is kind of cool, especially because, unlike in the movies, the big guy often beats the little guy in real life.

2) I've been watching movies a lot lately. I've been watching about 2 or 3 a day for the last week or so. A lot of these movies have been really bad, and worse, a lot of the movies I once thought were good suck upon a second viewing. I've been thinking of doing movie reviews in this blog, but decided against it because you can find movie reviews anywhere.

3) I've also come to the deadening realization that I've been single too long. I think this is tied in to the fact I've been watching so many movies. In all these movies there's a romance subplot. Usually I'm pretty ambivilent to romantic subplots, but lately I've been getting sappy and wistful while watching them. When you get sappy about a romantic subplot in a movie like Talladega Nights or Ghost Rider, it's a pretty serious problem. I'm not quite sure how to deal with this. Dating is almost completely out of the question, as my recent bout of wistfulness has left me angry and embittered at the world. I couldn't trust myself not to lash out in violence. I'm thinking that my best bet would be to join a monastary. That way, when people ask why I'm not dating, I could just tell them that I'm a monk (preferably a king-fu monk, with mystical powers.) The life of back-breaking labour would be tough, but on the plus side, the vow of celibacy would be a cinch as I've been celibate for over 2 years now.

4) If you're bored an need something to do, I recommend the following sites:
- www.yachtrock.com - A hilarious video series about smooth 70s music.
- www.baratsandbereta.com - Two guys who make funny videos.
- www.joshreads.com - A guy who makes fun of the comics page.
- www.overheardinnewyork.com - Random conversation from New York

Anyhoo, I'm bored. I think I'm going to go watch a couple of movies.
