I second that...

In celebration of having my cable TV signal cut off, I'm watching this movie for like the third time in a week while editing my previous post. Sloppy narrative, mate... And I'm talking 'bout me own post here; Lexi Alexander did a decent job as far as the movie is concerned.

If you dig chick flicks, you might want to skip this one. But if you're more on the angrier side of life (I know I am) or if you like a good display of testosterone (I know I do), then go for it.

Green Street Hooligans manages to transmit the same raw energy you might get attending a heavy metal fest if you dared partake in a wall of death. The story has layers and complexity, but evolves simple enough to hit you on a very instinctual level.

Hey, it's late, I got me drink here, and I know exactly what hits me on a very instinctual level right now...

Oi Charlie! I'm Randi.

You can put that on your wall, asshole

Some people never get when it's over. Take, for instance, my ex. Hell, you can even take him, but you won't be leaving with much...

You'd expect that after almost a decade of reluctant interaction it would sink in that we are not exactly friends. It's my fault, I admit; I don't respond well to threats. Nor insults.

I also have zero tolerance for egotistic bastards that think the world revolves around them. Take your 35 missed calls and shove them. Now it's not a good time. Tomorrow won't do for me either. Why is none of your business. You do not harass and threaten me and expect us to be all buddy-buddy afterwards. If you do, you're stupid. I don't respond well to that either.



At times I flirted with the idea of starting a Facebook account using my real name, just so that I could write on the welcoming page "If we didn't keep in touch, there's probably a good reason for it."

And there is. If I find it so easy to avoid the people I am actually friends with, how hard do you think it is for me avoiding those who got on my bad side?
