No History Here

"What I hate about shopping is the various people that follow me with their cars as I hope to find mine in the parking lot. It's annoying. Who knows. I might still be high on acid after Obama's win so there is an excuse for me to just do what a store doesn't want, loiter. Stop following me!"

-Me

Don't you hate it when zits pop up in weird places? For me, the past two days has been all about this very painful large one underneath the skin above my lip. Keep in mind, it's mighty pink so it has a tendency to look like I took a shot there by one of those people that became annoyed after following me around the parking lot.

And the weird thing about zits is that girlfriend make it their jobs to pop them. I know for a fucking fact that Sara would be ordering me to lay down as she attempts various methods of squeezing that white gunk that shoots out. Oh, look! My skin tends to mimic a porno's 'money shots!' The places women enjoy using these methods most is the back. Man lays down while woman squeals with glee as fingernails crush into skin. That's what you get for working in a hot environment year-round.

Everyone is more scared of the unknown than anything else. I think Jaws is one of the best examples out there because that movie accidentally brought this out. For over an hour, we viewers were tortured relentlessly by this unseen shape killing swimmers. It wasn't til Brody was bitching about throwing chum over the side of the boat til we first get a good look at the shark. Steven Spielberg talked about the blind luck of this mechanical shark (3 of them in all) breaking down constantly so they had to hope that things got better for the ending. How lucky in genius was that!?!

Tonight, I got to see this flick that everyone was raving about when it comes to unknown horror, The Strangers. Totally, totally creepy tale of a couple coming back to a sorta secluded house in hopes to rest only to be assaulted by 3 strangers wearing masks. As suddenly as they appear, suddenly they disappear. How many get tense when the camera lingers on someone while the killer silently walks around in the background?

Psychological terror is effective as fuck. While I could have bought The Strangers a while back on Blu-Ray, I waited only because it felt like one of those things you see once because it's only effective then. I was kind of right. What makes it good is not knowing any fucking thing about these intruders. While I'm sure things will be ruined in the future sequel being planned, I'm going to just sit right back and avoid it like the plague. 3 people come to the house, terrorize, leave, and we hope someone survived all that. I mean, why do we have to know everything about the killer(s)? Considering how stupid Hollywood is, it's best for them to stop copying greatness (only to ruin it with the usual abused-as-a-child excuse) and come up with something different.

Good example? Saw. That worked. Then, the bad examples happened......Saw 2....Saw 3....Saw 4 and Saw 5.

Why can't anyone make a very well-thought out version of Stephen King's 'IT?' That is one of my favorite books.......EVER!

Come to think of it, one thing to scare me majorly is to bring back Sarah Palin. Some things just have to go and a woman that holds the IQ of a used car salesman is just that.

So, yes, I am still in a good mood after Obama's win. Wish I could have been in Grant Park in Chicago. It's a 2.5 hour drive that would have been a part of history, watching Oprah force herself into a porta-potty is breathtaking and not soon forgotten. I just hope the auto industry gets a good hard slap on the wrist for its stupidity. While we have been wanting cars that run on more miles per gallon, it's still a rarity. Why don't we have the oil companies bail them out? Happy twats all around.
