The one thing I always see on talkshows are the Makeover episodes, where the talkshow host will bring in some fashion guru (usually some guy - I'll skip the joke here) and make some wife who's lacking fashion sense (like Allan does) into a supermodel beauty queen. Or he'll turn the husband with a Supercal mullet, ripped jeans, and REO Speedwagon shirt into the GQ hunk of the year. It's kinda cool to watch these episodes, but I always wonder what happens after the show is over. If anything, I think this would cause the divorce rate to increase instead of the couple being happier. Now that one of the spouses is out of the other spouses league, what's stopping the made-over one from leaving? (besides true love, of course). They should have another episode called "When extreme make-overs go bad and cause the good looking spouse to leave the ugly spouse."

So yesterday I went to go watch White Noise with Alex, Peony, and Kenny. I don't usually watch scary movies, but that was the only movie showing close to our time frame. I wanna see Meet the Fockers and In Good Company, but then we'd have to wait two hours to see it, and that's pushing it. Nobody wanted to see Elecktra besides Kenny of course. And Alex wanted to see Coach Carter, but sorry Alex, I'm just not a big Samuel L. fan. I think I just don't like the way he looks. I know that's a bad reason not to watch a movie, but why would I want to pay $6.50 to watch an ugly guy for two hours when I can do that for free by just looking out my window. I don't like Nicholas Cage either, probably because I think he's ugly. Michael Keaton was the star of the movie (I don't think he's very handsome either, but he's Batman, and you never want to diss Batman and his "partner" Robin). I'd give the movie 3/5 stars, but I'll be honest, it scared me. It was mostly because of the sudden images that'd pop up and knowing in the back of my mind this was based on true events. I was scared to sleep last night because I got home at 2 in the morning and had to walk around in the dark by myself. As soon as I brushed, I ran into my room and hid under my covers.

The movie is basically about Michael Keaton hearing and seeing dead people through the white noise (static). The movie wasn't written very well, or very developed. I just had to accept many of the things that happened, rather than try to find an explanation because there wasn't one given. But the funny thing I realized just this morning was that it truly was "White Noise" in the sense that the movie had no black people. All the actors, whether major or minor, were white. I guess the movie lived up to its name.

Afterwards we were bored so we sat in Alex's car trying to figure out what to do. We considered visiting some people, but ultimately we ended up parking outside Pat's house and talking to him with Alex's cell phone. We also searched through the radio stations' static to see if we could hear anything suspicious, but we only heard something that sounded like Mexican music. We ended up hanging out at Pat's house for a few hours. We played some PS2 and computer games. Kenny was sleepy so he lied on the floor and used a long roll of paper as a blanket.

Bernard was talking about The Defeatist Attitude, where people give up before the end has come. Well I'm going to discuss The Fetus Attitude. It's very much the same as Bernards' in the sense that The Fetus Attitude also requires one to roll over (usually in the fetus position). The Fetus Attitude is one of stupidity and a lack of independence. Much like the fetus, it means one relies on another person for survival. This attitude is very unhealthy because it expects another to always be there. Once out of the womb (aka Into The Real World), it expects everyone to provide the same babying the mother provided in the womb. It may even cause one to abuse one's friendship because he/she expects to be pampered and must have things done his/her way. Do you have The Fetus Attitude?

I needed to find my old SAT scores for my application stuff and found my old report cards from Lowell. I haven't looked at them in years, and to be honest, it was a real shock as to how crappily I did back in high school. I was at a 2.86 a few times. Some of you would consider that great, but at Lowell, anything below a 4.30 is horsecrap. I did reach that 3.87 once or twice, but I don't think I finished the semester with it. I even got a few A-'s in PE, which really doesn't make sense to me because I showed up everyday (and of course you guys know I'm a superb athlete with a killer body). But it's such a huge contrast from Lowell to CCSF because if you looked at the report cards, you wouldn't equate them with the same person. My brother tells me that my GPA at CCSF is different because I'm more "disciplined" now. I guess that could be the case, but then that would mean I didn't try as hard at Lowell, and it's hard for me to believe that I didn't give my best many times during Lowell. I know I should just let this go and stop living in the past like Napoleon Dynamite's uncle who still thinks about his championship football game that happened 20 years ago. I don't ever want to be that guy because he's a loser. But I don't want to think that I had The Defeatist Attitude during high school.

I prefer to live the life of Napoleon Dynamite: a good friend, a good brother, and a great artist.
