So

I'm back home right now. Here are a couple of facts that I discovered recently.

FACT: Real friends are the ones that pick you up even when they are highly inebriated, and then when they can't find you (due to said inebriation) they don't get mad at you. And they don't die or get a DIY on the way home. And when they get you to their house, they make you pizza and chicken nuggets and offer you whiskey (which you graciously turn down because you can't go home drunk).

FACT: The Ugly Truth, while being a chick flick (and highly predictable) is also a very good movie. Furthermore, I really don't understand why everyone hates Katherine Heigl. She's nice. Also, I wish Gerard Butler would have kept the accent for the movie. I know it wouldn't have fit into the plot and all, but it would've been way hotter.

FACT: "Once you're finished with something; blow it up." 'Nough said.

FACT: The blues are great. Evidentiary support includes: Blitzen Trapper, Delta Spirit, Cat Power, Cage the Elephant, Dr. Dog &c.
Mark Ronson is too. But he's not blues. Still though. I should figure out how to put playlists up here.

FACT: Your sister really is your keeper. If she's a good sister. Like mine. Don't be jealous. She's one in a million. If you have a sister, love her. Be nice to her. If she's older, respect her. If she's younger, be gentle.

FACT: while home will always be where you grew up, a place you are familiar with, a place you love, the place where your family is...it stops being home after a while. It's curious the way this happens, but eventually it does happen. Then you find yourself asking "now what?"

now here are a couple of fallacies.

FALLACY: Men are all-powerful. They're really not.

FALLACY: Mexico is a horrible place. Oh you ignorant people! Oh ye of little faith! You're all so afraid of Mexico, you think that Mexico is full of crazy psychopathic drug lords (or incredibly impoverished and desperate people who are ignorant, supposedly you) who live and run rampant in corruption, and lacking in technology.
Mexico is great. Where else do you have VIP movie theaters where they make sushi for you? AND will serve you alcohol a-la-carte? Where else can you get the best tacos ever made? Where else can you not wear your seatbelt and speak the best kind of spanish ever? Salma Hayek? Gael Garcia Bernal? Diego Luna? The list is endless my friends...
Explain this to me.

I'm really big on movies, and movie quotes that are good. I memorize them. I have a really good memory when it comes to movies, quotes, music, images....little things. I've always been in the details. I often wish I could translate such a talent toward math or chemistry.

So here goes, now rest easy friends:

"The trick to not feeling cheated is to learn how to cheat."

I've got to learn how to make these things more engaging. I am trying. Please bear with me, for this is a novel endeavor of mine.
