So in case anybody cared about my feelings on the matter, I do not care about the Super Bowl (well, I do, but we all know that the Cardinals will win anyway, so the point it moot, haha).
What I do care about is that little event that happens right after the Super Bowl. Yep, it’s The Office!
I’m pretty stoked, and I can’t even hide it (I’m so excited, that I’m typing this blog even as I’m supposed to be getting calculus homework done right now… I’m even making my “study partner” wait… she understands, though).
Yeah, I gotta calm down and get back to work…
No, I am not naive enough to believe that this is actually the case, but doesn’t it look like the water froze in mid-air on this waterslide?
For those of you who read these, this isn’t my usual, carefree blog. Nor does this have anything to do with my life. But, this is something that I felt like I had to get off my chest, because otherwise I shall lose sleep over it.
So there’s this girl I know, and we’re really good friends, and we have good times, and all is well in that department. But, tonight we had a conversation about what her plans are for tomorrow morning, and she told me.
She plans on having sex with a guy that she barely knows, in an attempt to make herself feel better about a guy that she used to date who is a complete jerk, and she says that she’ll probably end up having sex with the guy she used to date afterwards.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, you may not share the same moral beliefs as me, but I hope you can see why this is not a good thing to do, for your own sake.
She asked me what I think she should do, and I outright told her: instead of having sex with anybody tomorrow, she should do something productive, like send an email to her new professors for this next semester, just as a thoughtful way to start to get to know them… or, she could pick up on learning programming (a skill that, sadly, not as many people as I would like seem to value). But she said those were boring. Boring.
Maybe it’s just me, but I find these kinds of things extremely interesting. (Well, not emailing professors, that’s dumb, but it’s a great way to start the “schmoozing” process, which can really come in handy should the semester not go exactly as planned). There’s all sorts of things you can do besides having sex outside of a committed relationship (and, in case you’re wondering what my thoughts on the issue are, the only relationship that’s truly committed is marriage). You can read a book, learn to program, ride a bike, watch a movie, email professors, or even start a kick-ass blog like this one :)
Point is, when people that you care about make destructive decisions (oh no, I’m turning into Mr. Fox?!), it’s depressing. I think I’m going to go eat ice cream and watch The Notebook.
Wait, no I’m not. I’m going to work on my website, and send emails to my professors. Either way, Brandon out.
Since this morning, there has been exactly one bald guy in each showing of Valkyrie. It’s kind of weird, because they each have a similar shaped head. It’s possible that it is the same person, but that seems unlikely. Who knows, maybe Valkyrie is just that good.
And if you’re looking for Brandon’s Incredible (Edible?) Movie Review for Valkyrie, then look no further. Here it is, in one powerful word: boring. I have never been so disappointed in a movie (well, I’m sure I have, but for the sake of hyperbole, we shall not argue). None of the characters showed any emotion, ever. At times, I even felt like the director wanted me to feel sorry for Hitler (ok, I made that up, but you get the point).
Even though it was boring, I still give Valkyrie a 6 out of 10, because the main character had an eye patch, which is cool.
And I would give a review for Bedtime Stories, but I’m sure nobody reads my “movie reviews” anyway. Besides, if the crowd at my theater is any indication of what’s worth seeing, it looks as if Valkyrie is for you if you’re looking for a serious WWII Nazi conspiracy movie, Marley and Me is the movie to see if you’re looking for a movie that will make you all wistful and emotional, and Bedtime Stories is the movie to drop your annoying kids in while you go watch Valkyrie.
