Where I am at right now...

"Why Georgia"
by John Mayer

I am driving up 85 in the
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom
4 more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
And leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
Wood in places to make it feel like home
But all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis
Or just the stirring in my soul

Either way I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

So what, so I've got a smile on
But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me
When I say I've got it down

Everybody is just a stranger but
That's the danger in going my own way
I guess it's the price I have to pay
Still "everything happens for a reason"
Is no reason not to ask myself

If I am living it right
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

My Top 25 Movies (At This Point and Time)

Ok, maybe not ever...

I watched Before Sunrise yesterday and probably 30 minutes in, I knew it would be in my "Top 25 Movies Ever" and then I started thinking "Shit, what are my Top 25 movies?".

In all honesty, I could never make such a list. I own over 150 DVDs and to pick and chose would cause to think about how much money I've wasted on movies I only kinda like.

But it's Sunday, I'm bored.

So...in no particular order:

  1. Before Sunrise
  2. Say Anything**
  3. High Fidelity**
  4. Swingers
  5. Cool Hand Luke ****
  6. Quick Change*
  7. The Lion King
  8. Fight Club
  9. Chasing Amy
  10. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  11. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy*, ***
  12. The Fisher King
  13. Goodfellas
  14. The Godfather, Part II
  15. The Iron Giant
  16. The Professional
  17. Kill Bill***
  18. Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail
  19. The Usual Suspects
  20. Better Off Dead**
  21. Pulp Fiction
  22. Seven
  23. Unforgiven
  24. Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
  25. When Harry Met Sally*

* I don't own this for some reason
** John Cusack appears on this list three times. I guess that would make him my favorite actor
***For all intents and purposes, I consider these as one film.
****Oldest movie on this list
.

I'm going to stop here because I will start fucking with this list if I spend anymore time looking at it.

(Note: I've already changed this three times. Damn edit function in Blogger.)

A Myriad of Thoughts

I go through periods where I am walking around somewhere and someone will say something and a little voice will scream in my head...

HOW DID WE LOSE THE ELECTION??? ARRRGH.

Then, I continue my day

I was lying in bed, just getting off the phone at midnight and for a second a contemplated just throwing some sweats on and heading over to Best Buy but I stopped myself.

In my mind, if I ever asked myself "Why am I single?", that I drove to Best Buy at midnight for a video game would surely be on the Top 5 list.
