Michael's Little Corner

Yeah… Really.. I’m not.. I’m the same scum as most of the inhabitants of this putrid planet.

Man it’s been a while since last time I typed anything.
My long absence has been because of life. Life, as we all know, tends to throw the occasional curve-ball.
Doesn’t have to be a bad thing. But usually it’s unexpected. And honestly… I’m in a rather foul mood these days. I try to keep a lid on it, but every now and then it slips out. Luckily nothing big yet. So that’s what I have been doing mostly… Coping.

But it would be nice to just feel calm, centered and happy again. It’s been so long since I could say I have been honestly happy. Bente gave me that happy feeling for a while. But that didn’t last, sadly. And now I’m back to being so damn angry all the time. I know a lot of it has to do with me regretting so many damn stupid things, from so far back I can’t even remember all the details. But I remember how it felt, and that is more than enough. Felt, and still feel. Angry, and hateful.

Angry and regretful, I get. Most of us feel anger and regret of some sort. It’s the “hate” part that bothers me mostly. I don’t feel there’s any reason for it to be like that. And because it has such a presence in me, I try to live as good a life as I possibly can. I have great friends, great colleagues, a fantastic job, and even my own apartment! In fact, the only thing I really have to worry about is transforming the second bedroom into nerd heaven, and that darn leaky pipe that randomly trickles a few drops of water every now and then.

And yet… I still can’t feel as good about all this as I should. This has been my dream and goal for a long time. So the question becomes: Why can’t I feel good about this? I have been asking myself this question for a while now. And the only answer I can come up with confuses me: There’s so much great going for me. But I miss all the stupid times. I actually miss all the things that would have made my life completely miserable. So what is this then? I have no idea.

A youtube vlogger I saw the other day, put in words something that not only harmonized with me, but also clicked in to place, like a piece to a puzzle: The thoughts I have that I think are unique to me, are also the the thoughts that separate me and make me feel lonely, isolated from others.

That’s not a direct quote. He said it far more eloquently than I ever could.. But yeah.. It feels fairly accurate…. I hope to meet the person with whom I can relate with.

Talk about a first world problem.

Meh… Enough bitching and moaning… I’m off to bed.

Red State Review.

September 3rd, 2011

I’m not gonna bury the lead on this one… I loved it.
Really really loved it.

Having seen all of Mr. Smith’s earlier movies, and thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them, all of them being dialogue heavy comedies. This one really really surprised me.

John Goodman, Kyle Gallner and of course Kevin Pollack were excellent to say the least.

Michael Parks is worth mentioning on his own, since his portrayal Abin Cooper, a fire and brimstone preacher, is with such vigor that I was almost tempted to join in on a hallelujah or two. The voice and manner of the character is nothing short of terrifying, and inspiring in one way. Guess that’s part of what makes him scary

Ralph Garman, whom I love; and I would go so far as to say I might even have a bit of a man crush on him; portrays Caleb. If you are a fan of “Hollywood Babble-On”, you know he is an extremely funny and entertaining guy who’ll have you laughing until you wet yourself. As Caleb, he is just plain scary as all hell. A truly respectable presence

Part of the plot (copypasta from Wikipedia): On the way to school, Travis (Michael Angarano) notices members of the Five Points Church, led by Abin Cooper (Michael Parks). protesting the funeral of a local homosexual teenager. Later, Jared (Kyle Gallner) reveals he received an invitation from a woman he met on a sex site for group sex with himself, Travis and Billy Ray (Nicholas Braun). They borrow Travis’ parent’s car and travel out into the country to meet with the woman. There on out the movie takes a nice turn into scary-ville…

I really don’t have the words to describe what goes on in this movie, so I’m just gonna give you the trailer instead.

Kevin Smith really rocked it this time :-)

Recommended if you are looking for a truly kick ass flick :-)

So…. I got my scooter moped thingy.. finally….

I pictured riding this thing would be the very definition of freedom and a joyous experience through and through…

Turns out I was about as wrong as I could get… Ok, it’s a bit fun. And admittedly it’s useful… in fact, there’s no doubt that it is useful.
The only thing I have a slight qualm with it is that it is also a horrendously fucking terrifying experience as well. Riding this thing makes you the smallest participant in a never ending, always moving, beast comprised of several roaring 2 ton monsters, we so lovingly call: Traffic. Roundabouts are the worst. Fucking nightmares. Luckily, Mo i Rana only have about a million of these fucking things.

Ok.. this is me a bit panicky… a bit.. heh…. I was just so unprepared for how scary it would be… But on the good side.. I’m already getting used to this thing… It’s gonna take a while until I comfortable… But oh well.. I have been whining about having on of these for years now… so I guess I’ll just shut up…

Btw.. picture!

The most awesome thing in the known universe!
