A Long-Lost Blogger Just Wanted to Say, "Hello"
That was your cue to say, "You had me at 'long-lost blogger'!"
(You know, instead of 'You had me at hello'?" Heh.)
Anyway, not much has been going on BUTTTT...I have a semi-review for anyone who's interested!
Okay, so, I've never been a big Sex in the City fan. Heck, I've only seen the show maybe once. In any case, I saw the new flick that hit theaters Friday and oh, did I make a mistake in skipping out on the show! I admit, I'm a bit judgemental but can you blame me? The crap that goes around TVs these days is ridiculous.
All-in-all, the film was pretty damn cute. No joke. There were surprises, great fashion (of course, right?), and not to mention fantastic drama! Plus, it wouldn't hurt to say that most of it was pretty realistic. Except for the fact that most people aren't all that rich, right?
Anyway, I give it 4 stars. What can I say? The movie actually made me feel good, you know? Sometimes, there's that one movie that makes you feel grateful for the things you have and the people you know and love. Well, that's what Sex in the City did for me, Jacks.
I bet Love Actually might do the same to me too. I'll get all sappy and teary, thanking God for all that He's given me. It sucks that it has to be a movie that does that.
So, because I'm feeling all sweet and generous, I'll part with another little Jacks-gift that only screams ME:

Working Class Heroine?
Hmm, don't think so. I believe you have to not be selfish, you can't complain about the hard nights and the long hours, and suck up all the demands, the rules, the horrible uniforms.
So, then, although I'm in the working class now, why can't I manage to be a heroine?
I'm sure its no big deal and really, its not such a hard descision but -- why do I feel so guilty about thinking about quitting? I've been thinking about it for ages. AMC just isn't my cup of tea. I can't help that. I can't help that my grades are dropping. Okay, so that's a lie but you know how it goes. Teachers/tests/homework form one gigantic migraine of a duty.
I couldn't help hearing the relunctance and disappointment in my parents' voices as they soothed my worries with the words, "Maybe you should quit."
I couldn't help but suddenly contemplate worse depressions than the ones previously when I decided to share my wealth. I mean, what would happen when I wouldn't have wealth to share?
I'm so confused. I feel ten years older than I am. Why can't I just stop complaining, face reality, and accept that maybe, AMC and work isn't as painful as I once thought.
But isn't it? Haven't I had panic attacks and numerous nights of crap?
Currently, I'm sighing and pondering and listening to the joyful fiddle in the song "Seven Deadly Sins" by Flogging Molly.
Its not really helping. But I'm not really depressed; just weighted down with numerous worries and thoughts. Deadlines.
Anyway, its getting late and I'm supposed to be re-examining my health.
XOXO

Is America Getting Dumber?
So I was looking around the interweb for an article to balance the article Mr. Nesbitt gave us. This website is one of the funny/sarcastic ones I found that completely agreed:

My particular favorite part of the article had to have been this picture:

Wow. Its funny because its true!
Anyway, get back to your homework!

I Have One Word for You, Zachary Stockdale.
Genius.

I thought I was going to die laughing.
Not only is he pretty freakin' cute, he's hilarious. What a great combo :]
This is what Jacks has been living on for, I don't know, 6 weeks?

Mmm...watery? Well, okay, so that AND food but you know what I mean. Lent season and all that.
How's everyone's Spring Break been going along? What was that? Bad, huh? Sucks to be you.
XOXO
