Well my Spring Break is over. I'm sitting here in Berkeley eating a Cup O Noodles Beef Flavored courtesy of CBC Math Camp 2005 because I'm a loser. My Spring Break was very interesting. We had our annual fantasy baseball auction. I brought my camera and was going to take pictures to show you guys what a typical auction is like, but there was just no time or breaks to get it done. I'll do it for the football draft next time because there's more breaks for me then to take photos. Then I will show you guys that we fantasy sports guys aren't all that nerdy like you think we are. Well, maybe we are. But overall it was an interesting break. I hung out with people I don't get to hang out with during school. I also did a lot of thinking. That's the worst part about me, I think too much. Sometimes I just wish I could just fall asleep, but I end up sitting in bed thinking until 3am. It's such a bad habit of mine. I need to take some Ambien.
However, during my thinking, I've realized why I'm such a loser and keep crying my damn self to sleep all the time. It's because I have no skills, "and girls only like guys with skills". You see, all my skills have been invested in things that have made me even more unpopular and nerdish. You want to know the best thing I've consistantly been good at my entire life? School. How lame is that? You think getting good grades will get the girls? Go ask the guys on the Dean's List and see what they say. And the violin? You think girls dig guys who play the violin? Do you see any groupies waiting for me after our concerts? Do you ever hear celebrity gossip that Yo Yo Ma hooked up with Beyonce? I once felt that all those athletes who skipped college to pursue professional sport careers were fools, but how wrong am I. Girls dig the long ball.
Inspired by Bernard, I too will do a movie review. Garson, Shirley, and Abby gave me Say Anything for my birthday, featuring John Cusack and Ione Skye. I have to say that it was a very good movie, definately two middle fingers up (or two of my charts from below). It was my type of movie. The thing I like about these love movies is that everything always works out for the best in the end, and things are so simple. The guy gets the girl. And to make it even slicker, he gets her with relative ease. But the awesome thing is that the guy tries, and the girl falls for Cusack not because he's the best looking guy or the most popular guy, but because he's honest and she feels "safe" around him. That's so friggen awesome man! Is it realistic? Maybe it is. And in these movies, you don't ever have to worry about the little things. You don't ever see John Cusack doing his economics problem sets (although he just graduated in the movie, but that's besides the point). The simplicity is just what gets to me. And there's also a scene in the movie where John Cusack is standing outside of Ione Skye's bedroom as she's sitting in her bed thinking, and he's holding a boombox with Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes playing. Holy crap, how friggen romantic!! Lloyd Dobler is my hero. If I ever did that, the neighbors would call the cops on me for disturbing the peace.
Yea, I'm growing into a bitter old man. And I'm only 21.
