Puppies!
So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

If you are in Philly tomorrow night and you are over 21, you can come check out my band if you’d like! It’s 8 bucks at the M Room! Hope to see you there!
a friend came round to help me revise and forgot to log out of her facebook on my laptop so I’ve spent the last 20 minutes devoting her facebook to trains.
I’ve also got the middle name “ILikeTrains” pending and have joined 50 “I love trains” groups.
In other news, I also saw the movie Into the Wild this weekend. Now there is a movie that might just be better than the book!
Everybody knows that the Great Gatsby was an awful movie right? They spent all their budget on party scenes and used a bad green screen feature other times. They used corny typing in the sky. They would change cameras every two seconds so it gives you a headache. Leo used “Old Sport” way way way…
OH MY GOD. OH NO YOU DIDN’T. stfu.
He literally did everything you aren’t supposed to do in screenplay writing 101.

I respectfully disagree. Get back to me when you can make a better adaption that not only pulls in $51.1mill in its opening weekend, but doesn’t get criticized. Impossible, yes? The fact that Fitzgerald’s granddaughter likes it also helps.
um also did you read the book peasant do you know how much gatsby for real says old sport it’s meant to be annoying

Also a 32% among top critics on Rotten Tomatoes. So tell me how its not getting criticized? It has become a running joke of late night talk show hosts. The whole thing is a two and a half hour Ralph Lauren commercial. I was so bored the entire time. It raked in that much because people like me said “well it can’t be that bad” and then it was. People had such low expectations that I heard people leaving the theater saying “well, I mean it could have been worse.” Put all that on top of Baz Luhrmann always putting media that doesn’t fit the time period. That will always drive me nuts. And Fitzgeralds Granddaughter isn’t him though. She’s not known around the world. The whole movie was just awkward and awful. I’ve never been so disinterested in a movie theater.

They had a soundtrack that didn’t fit the movie. They over exaggerated everything. They focused on parts of the story that weren’t that important, They would say the same thing over and over. They didn’t show the little girl until the end (the situation would be way worse if you know that she had a girl the whole time). This is just the beginning to my rant. Baz Luhrmann should never be allowed to touch another movie!
