JUNO IS HORRIBLE

Okay so Sara forced me into watching Juno with her the other evening because she couldn't handle work (haha). I just have two words for this movie, CHICK FLICK, seriously it is truely a chick flick. Everyone says "ohh its so funny, you'll like it Jim" the truth is, no, I really dont. I mean there are the clever lines throughout this movie but ultimately, the movie is more sap than substance. Juno's character is great but seriously, what sixteen year old has a life like that and is clever enough to be so witty. NONE OF THEM. Sixteen year olds are dumb, naive, and gullible. Needless to say, the whole tension between the potential adoptive father and Juno is dumb. I thought there was some underlying tension between them or perhaps the guy saw alot of himself in her but whatever, their relationship is way too odd for two people with such an age gap. Next in line, the whole frigid bitch of a wife that the Alias girl plays, I dont get it. So she just wants a kid? She's barren and feels incomplete and a failure? And whats with the whole implication or hints that sex between Juno and that guy was Juno's fault? Are they implying that he's gay or that he's not interested in sex? What sixteen year old guy isn't interested in sex? So ultimately, it had some funny points but I'm not really interested. Theres too much wit in some instances and too much of the whole chick flick feel to the film in others. What I do love is the hamburger phone, that thing is sweet and kicks ass. I want one. My birthday is coming up so you better get me one.

Next thing, WORK, i hate it. Not to give too many details, basically this, my work place is filled with too many people who are up on their high horses to admit when something should change. Quit pretending to be experts on things you have no idea about. They are self-absorbed, self-centered, and idiotic in some instances. Dont tell me you know everything when you have never been in my position. Don't spit on me and tell me its raining. Hire some people that might actually stand a chance of staying employed and give a damn for what they are doing. Don't hire people who are going to waste my and everyone else's time because in the end it just makes more work for the rest of us who are actually good at what we do. Don't pretend to give a rats ass about people but only see them as money. I'm way too intelligent and too talented to be wasting my time at such an institution where opportunitities for advancement are few and even then all you want is yes men. I love what i do but hate the people above me.

Thirdly, I need sleep. I've been contemplating my future and I'm being ambitious. In the near future, perhaps law school or a masters in public administration, or both. I want to continue on with school but have spent so much time pursuing an education that i'm worn out. I dont want to be an eternal student but fear that may be my ultimate endpoint. Alot of people say I'm an academic person, one who can teach but not actually do. Believe it or not I actually have a pair and am not afraid to use them when it comes down to it. In the current situation, why voice your opinion or be assertive if its not going to get you anywhere or never bring about change. I'm not one for exerting effort if it isn't fruitful. I think I could be a good administrator or attorney. I get my work done, I'm efficient, fair, and honest. I will never short change you nor will I backstab. I thought my path was in mental health but its way too time consuming and stressful. I'm quiet and consistent.

Forth, iTunes. Hi, my name is Jim and I'm an iTunes junky. I think its my one true vice. My mistress is iTunes and i'm okay with that. I find myself thinking about it when i'm driving or at work. I rush home to see if there are new songs or ones that I haven't heard and might want to buy. I mean I rush home to play hexic with Sara, okay so thats another area where I am spending way too much of what could be productive time playing this game. I'm attracted to all the colors, graphics, and sounds. It keeps my attention. iTunes isn't evil, its a necessity in my life. My iPod is filled with songs that define who I am. I'm ecclectic. When did the New Kids on the Block make a comeback? I thought they faded away with Zubaz pants and Starter Jackets. I was a dork I know but hey, i was with it as a kid - i was hip. I had all the weird early 90's clothes. Remember Garth Brooks? He was huge in country music back in the day. I miss Gumby and Bozo. I even have Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer on my iPod, i'm old school. I remember my brother liking Kiss way too much. I remember school when we didnt have computers and everyone used type writters, thats crazy. I remember using the internet for the first time and how slow it was compared to now. Man I feel old. Well my computer is trying to kick me off so it could restart after updating so I'm goin, I'M OUTTIE!! PEACE
