Just Another Day

Today is just like any othe day. I'm sitting in my room, wondering if I should have another cigarette, and thinking about all of the constructive things I could be doing with my day off. And then resolving to just saying....fuck it.

I'll go smoke on the fire escape after I write this, Then I will probably go put on some different clothes and go for a walk in Chinatown, SOHO, or LES. Then I will go to work....
....Just another day.

Cloverfield


Last night I saw Cloverfield. The very secret project by J.J. Abrams (he created Lost and Felicity.) It was good, but there was something missing from it. I couldnt put my finger on it.

I dont think the movie would have been as scary if you werent a New Yorker. The video camera was a great touch.


As I walked out of the theater with A.L. into the chilly Manhattan night I could just picture the giant monster knocking down the Barnes and Nobel on Union Square and then making it way down Broadway to devour us. People running and screaming as it advanced on us.


But luckily it didnt happen.


The movie was scary to say the least. My leg was shaking through most of it. The ending was kind of great. I liked, but I can see how others could think it was a little hoaky.


I give the movie ***(3 stars)

2008 resolutions

The earth is a year older. 2008 has begun and I have resolutions. Yes folks....another list.

BTBC wants to write more (both in the blog and in life).

I assume that no one actually reads my blog anymore, seeing as I havent written in it in months....centuries in internet time. And with that I havent actually written anything in months...not journal entries, not one liners, or poems. There are things I want to say...here's where I have the ability to say them.

Stop Smoking
Obviously for health reasons and also because I'm broke as a joke.

Read more...I already read like books are going out of style...because they are. But also reading makes my world go round.

Travel,
Because the world is only so big and I want to see it before it goes to hell in a hand basket.

Get in shape,
I was running at least 5 miles a day 5 days a week when I moved here, now I sit on my hiney and smoke a pack a day.


And the big one is Get A New Job. I took the spring semester off of school, which will possibly progress into a year. All I want to do at the moment is work and try to enjoy the city I live in.
