Scott Pilgrim vs. Eric Swisher
It's been a while since I've done a post here. Almost forgot that I had this thing (not really). Just haven't had much to write about lately. I could write about more Power Rangers, but I figured I'd give that a rest for now. What I would like to talk about is a movie that has been released lately. I'm sure you can all tell what movie I'm going to be talking about here just from the title of this post. Yes. Let's discuss Eat Pray Love. Actually, no. Let's not. Let's discuss Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
I remember seeing the trailer for the movie months ago. Upon the first viewing, I knew this was a movie I had to see. Not only did it appear to appease my nerdy side with lots of video game references, but it was being directed by none other than Edgar Wright, writer and director of two of my favorite movies: Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Come months later, the movie is finally here. Now for the answer to the question: Was the movie good? The answer to this question is simple: Yes.
So far I've seen the movie twice, and I've loved every minute of it. There are many reasons why I loved this movie. It was funny, entertaining, kick ass, and more. But I believe the main reason I liked it so much is because of Scott Pilgrim himself. Watching the movie, I've noticed that I'm a lot like Scott Pilgrim, or vice versa. I'm a nerdy guy who's been single for a while, sometimes nervous with the opposite sex, and looking for the girl of my dreams. Oh yeah, and the fact that I could probably just eat garlic bread forever without stopping... if it didn't make me fat. If I were put in the same situation, I would fight to the end for the one I love whether she has one, seven, or even fifty evil exes.
That's about it for now. I may go into other things and do more of an official review at some point, even though I suck at writing. For those of you reading, I at least say you should go see the movie if you haven't yet. It's a very fun and entertaining movie that deserves much more money than it has made in the box office so far. As for me, I may get myself into seeing it for a third time, or maybe even more. Also looking into buying the graphic novels sometime soon. Well, tune in again, where I'll shower you with my love for Power Rangers once again. Right now, I'm really damn tired.
Enter title here.
I was going to write something besides all the bullshit I've been writing on here lately. So here I am, once again, writing that I'm going to write something. I do that a lot. So at least for now, here's Tommy Oliver, the greatest Power Ranger to ever live.
The Weight of a Lonely Heart
A lonely heart has once been loved. A lonely heart has once been broken. A lonely heart has experienced friendships. A lonely heart has been happy, and sad. A lonely heart has brought smiles to others' faces. A lonely heart has been there to be a shoulder to cry on. A lonely heart has put others before itself, even if they didn't deserve it. A lonely heart has been through good times, and bad ones. A lonely heart has been through a lot in life.
A lonely heart's only weakness, is loneliness.
The Code (Revised)
I live my life by a code. I always put others before myself. If there is a way I can help someone out, even if it benefits me in no way, I will. I will always be there for any of my friends. I'm always watching over trying to help in any way I can. Lots of times, this ends up putting me in last place. And you know what? That's okay. I know this is what I was made for.
Some might try to call out that I'm trying to build good karma or something on this. Honestly, karma is bullshit. There are people who I try to help who just continually take from me. And then there's people who I continually give to. The difference is the people I give to are the people I care the most about. The people that take from me are just the ones trying to take advantage of who I am. I don't do what I do for any sort of reward. I'm there for people because they need me, and making people happy is all I need in return.
This post was revised due to the original being written while I was wasted. I rewrote it to be less cynical and make a bit more sense. I always write these blogs and feel like I'm rambling on about nothing, or it doesn't make sense. Especially the ones where I'm talking about life. If I am, and you're reading, I apologize. I write these because I feel like writing it out puts things at ease for me. And if you are reading, thank you.
Feelin’ Fine
Time for a non whiny blog. This time I'm going to post about something good going for me in life.
The past few weeks I've changed my eating habits. I was eating fast food for almost every meal, and even when I wasn't eating fast food I wasn't making good choices for food and drink.
Usually I do stuff like this and I'm back to my old habits within a few days/weeks. But this time I feel different. I feel... Great. My stomach doesn't feel like shit, I'm not randomly getting heartburn. Plus, I've been in an overall better mood.
I was craving fast food for a few days, but now those cravings are gone. Plus as part of this, I cut down my usual servings and because of it, it takes less to satisfy my hunger. Two weeks in I'm already seeing a slight difference in my visual weight (I think). Bad part is I don't have a scale so I have no idea how much weight I've actually lost, if any. I don't even care though. I feel good and that's what matters.
Now if I could only get more motivation to be active. Haha.
Let it Out.
So yeah. Another day, another night of feeling lonely. And no, it's not the "I'm all alone at home right now" lonely, it's the "Waaaaaah I want a girlfriend" lonely. I'm so fucking tired of this feeling. It just comes and goes whenever it pleases. I know there's only two ways of making this go, and I know one of them is going to be hard. One is actually getting a girlfriend and having the emotion just fade, and the other is fighting the emotion away. And you may think "Yeah finding a girlfriend can be hard." Yeah, it can. Especially because I'm picky and won't go out with just anyone. But I honestly believe trying to get rid of this loneliness in general I think will be harder. Emotions are a bitch, especially mine. I have such strong emotions that it drives me crazy sometimes. Unfortunately I'm only human, and I must feel.
The funniest part about this all are my views on things like love. I think love is a wonderful thing. An emotion that can move people to do almost anything, good and bad. But I also think that love is an emotion that too many people take for granted. Lots of times I find myself laughing at the emotion. But still, it's an emotion I use on a daily basis. Whether it's toward someone I "like", or toward a friend or even a stranger. There's so many angles to love that it can range from just basic caring, up to the description that everyone is more accustomed to.
I really hate talking about this shit. I feel like it's me whining because I'm single. Well, it is. I almost didn't type this only because of it. I'm a bitch. Whatever. It's my blog, I can write what I want! Really I just want to write this to vent. I feel alone in a world of billions. Sucks to be me sometimes.
And now for the part you just scrolled down to see anyway, some Power Rangers.
Resistance is futile.
I was going to write something deep and meaningful here, but that could reveal some of my secrets. And I can't let that happen now, can I? So here's Locutus.
The Story of My Life
Here I am. Awake. Restless because of my thoughts. You've been on my mind a lot lately. I close my eyes and I see you. You make me smile. You make me feel like there's something worth fighting for. Yet you don't even know. I say nothing. I fear that telling you this will risk losing everything I already have with you. I wish I didn't have this fear. I'll keep quiet, and you'll move on without me. And I'll remain here, alone with my thoughts. Restless. And the cycle begins anew.
So goes the story of my life.
I’m here to ruin your childhood.
Yup. Remember the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? The guys I talk about in practically every blog post? Well here's something that will crush all those memories, because they're ALL FAKE! Just like how Super Mario Brothers 2 in the US is actually Doki Doki Panic in Japan. I've found that lots of people didn't know that the Power Rangers were originally a Japanese television show. Well now, forget your "Go Go Power Rangers" for a moment. Here is Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.
I have been watching this series lately, and it is actually really damn good. Mainly because the American shot parts of Power Rangers had to take the clips from Zyuranger out of context sometimes, and things were just sloppily done in some episodes. Still, MMPR still holds a spot close to my heart. Let's show some respect while we're here.
Fuck it's hard to find Power Rangers videos that you can embed.
Help yourself.
Working retail, there is one thing that drives me nuts and I have to deal with daily: people who can't seem to help themselves. All the damn time it's "I need ink" and stupid shit like that. The ink for your printer is right there. I don't need to hold your hand to get it. Now I understand if you don't know what you need, and you need help finding that out. But the fact that you know what type of ink you need and you don't even bother looking, and then expect me to fetch it is what pisses me off.
When I go to a retail store, the only time I ask for help is if I can't find what I'm looking for, or if I'm buying something that requires employee assistance to get.
Helping people is my job, so I take care of people who need help. But really, some of these people don't even need help. They just don't want to help themselves.
And here's where a Power Rangers video or something would come in. Unfortunately I'm on my phone. So until next time... Let the Power protect you.
