OMFG! It’s The…

Alright, alright, alright. If you’re a fan of American Graffiti or Can’t Hardly Wait, you will enjoy this movie. Maybe even more so than either of those. It’s 1976, the last day of school and the juniors are seniors now. The eighth-graders leave junior high and instantly become high school freshman, which sounds great and all except they are now on the run from the new seniors. There’s a lot of subplots and twists along the way. It all ends in a big party where loose ends are tied up and everyone finds a bit of peace.

I recently found a journal entry of mine that details watching this movie before I smoked my first cigarette and I’m convinced it’s because of this movie. I’m in no way endorsing this behavior, I think smoking is a extremely bad habit for many reasons. Just thought I’d share a little memory of the one of the first times I watched Dazed. It will most likely remind you of long summer nights spent with friends, driving around and being young. There isn’t much of a protagonist, and you may or might not find yourself in one of characters. It’s more of a movie where you feel like you’re along for the ride, up for anything; you get run from the seniors, you get to play pool with the seniors, you get to drive around with the geeks and eat Top Notch. Anyways, check it out, I think everyone can enjoy this movie.

Are you one of those people that watch tons of YouTube videos of people getting hurt and laugh? How about videos with fights, violence, blood and/or death? I bet you think you’re so different from them. I also think you should watch this movie.

Let me first start off by saying that this isn’t a “popcorn movie.” If you’re looking for mindless entertainment or a light comedy that you can watch with a bunch of your friends then skip this one. However, if you want to think about how rumors and internet video mindfuck high school students today then this is a film that brings up that point and smashes it in your face.

Sitting here in my mess of a dorm room, it strikes me that I’ve been lied to. By people I’ve trusted, listened to my entire life. And it wasn’t a little lie, not like the other ones I’ve heard.

They lied to me about college.

Not too long ago I shared another special called “The Merchants of Cool” which basically showed you how it’s COMPANIES, and not other teens, that make trends and fads happen. Well, here’s another special by Frontline also which explains why teenagers are the way they are- sleeping, boredom, our sex drives, mood swings. Basically anything you can shake a dick at. A lot of shit is explained in this video which reveals that teens are SUPPOSED to be tired and lazy and wanting sex all the time- it’s just the way we’re wired.

On a side note, me and my sis tried showing this to our parents to see their reaction. Needless to say, they got off our backs for about a couple of days…but then it returned to normal. Old people….they just never learn do they?

You’re walking down the hallway, and out of no where you hear someone giggle. Not a sincere giggle, but the kind of giggle that as you look over, sickens you. You see someone who is smart, and respected, act like a total airhead in front of some cute guy. Why would they change and act stupid just because they’re  in front of a cute guy? Is it because they think it’s cute? Is because they don’t want to intimidate them? Not knowing things, is not cute. Playing dumb, is annoying and ridiculous and unnecessary.

I’ve missed listening to Avril Lavigne. But when she did that song “Girlfriend” I was out. The recent Proactive commercial isn’t helping. “Alice” comes straight from the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack and lyrically, she’s no Edgar Allan Poe. But her voice, the piano, all of the sounds are so full of emotion. It’s a surreal sound, it actually made me think of “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane when I heard it. I honestly think it should be listened to more than once- the first time, all you really hear is her screaming and even now, the long “I” teeters on screaming and singing to me. But I do like her approach on the subject even thought, it doesn’t really seem like most of the song is about Alice in Wonderland.

Louis CK is one of my favorite comedians for a reason- he may be balding, have kids, and not be in school, but for some reason I can really relate to everything he says. Here’s a clip that every spoiled suburban kid needs to see (or more like understand). I’ll even admit it- sometimes I don’t appreciate how convenient it is to get entertained or look up information. Work that took HOURS to do in the 90’s takes SECONDS today. THINK ABOUT THAT SHIT!

I was a 90’s baby, so I remember when downloading a (1) song took 10 minutes on dial up! And movies….well, let’s just say this site wouldn’t have been possible 10 years ago. I hate to admit it, but most people my age just don’t appreciate how fucking good the world really is today. The internet/technology has DRASTICALLY made just about everything easier. But for some reason people are still unhappy.

Dammit! Sometimes I’m ashamed of my generation. If you’re still reading this just know I’m not talking about you….I think.

This is a spoken word piece and it really really hit me hard. Throughout most of it, I was thinking “That’s me” Some of the stuff he says, the not fitting in, playing a role to make it seem like that, make yourself believe this image you portray, how unhappy you really know. I just heard this at the right time. Because it sounded and felt like I had just sat down one day and scrawled it out on paper.

Those big, tough, jocks who run around with the ball and only pass it to those other big, tough, jocks? You know. The buff ones with the muscle shirts and the jungle under their arms..? They’re jerks. They get way too into the games, and they yell at who ever messes up. Really? It’s Physical Education. Not, How to survive being attacked by the Hulk 101.

Bill Maher is probably the most famous celebrity-atheist and one of my heroes. In this documentary he goes around to some of the most religious places and reveals all the hypocrisy of the people there. This is one of those movies that can turn an agnostic into an atheist. I wish I would have seen something like this years ago.
