Been over two weeks since my last post,which i believe is the longest span of time between posts, since the blog began that is. My last few posts i recall being…..quite dramatic,yeah,dramatic. Somethings about self loathing, attractions(old and new) and other shit that you can read yourself if you’re that interested,because i’m not the type to repeat myself repeat myself. Ahhhhhh it’s good to be back.
Been so long since the last post, plus the fact that time now is a mere illusion in quarantine, that i can’t remember what happened on what week. So none of what i’m about to say happened in any particular order, they’re just what i can remember.
I watched this stream with this psychiatrist essentially talk and help this girl understand her problems with a whole host of things. It’s about 2 hours but i found it really interesting, link-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8nScdhRXfs&t. It made me reflect on myself, for what i grateful for,the role i play in some peoples lives, and most importantly why i act in certain ways and why i try to help people.(Y’know cause i’m so helpful,god i sound like such a muppet).
Another thing that’s starting happening the past couple weeks is our results are slowly coming out. History came out first, did really well,just relieved that the months of research i did for it actually paid off. English came back yesterday(or the day before, can’t remember) at first i was underwhelmed, i hadn’t improved since last semester but it seems everyone’s mark had be super tough,resulting in a lot of disappointment about their grades taking a step back. It made me grateful that i didn’t walk away with a worse marking.
In order to plug the ever gaping holes of bordem that quarantine has cooked up, i decided to do something that i thought i would never do(now hold your horses its not anything major,it’s me i’m talking about here) i joined a couple dating apps. I needed to get a certain someone’s pants bulge out of my head for a while so i decided to give it both barrels,Bumble & Tinder(Thx Caleb for the glowing bumble endorsement).
As expressed in previous posts, i’m very harsh on myself so it’s been somewhat uplifting seeing some of the stunning women that i’ve been matched with. The only problem is, i’ve got terrible game,through the phone that is. In person, i’m as good as anybody at reading people and can think on my feet quick enough,through messages is a whole different story. That’s my i find bumble refreshing,putting it on the women to start talking. There’s been one girl who I’ve really clicked with. We both have this very straight faced sarcasm that’s really been a joy going back an forth with her with. Is it going to lead to anything serious, who knows,if i was pushed to say, i’d say no. I don’t why i’d say no, i hope it does but i’m not gonna push my luck so early.
What i watched the past 2 weeks
- The Last Dance(2020) – Phenomenal piece of work, it’s got its problems but man this was a joy to watch – 5/5
- Moonlight(2016) – I went in wanting to love it but unfortunetly i was somewhat underweled,it’s good but i just wanted more – 3.5/5
- Some Like it Hot(1959) – Watched with my mother, she rarely ever laughs, so seeing her gigling her way through this was heartwarming – 5/5
- Vertigo(1958) – I fully respect and agree that this is a classic but god damn Hitchcock has a problem in some of his films in failing to deliver the final payoff,this film is a prime example – 4.5/5
- Dunkirk(2017) – A very well made war film,with a great cast,both new and old. If i ever need to be bone shakingly anxious for 2 hours, i know what film to watch 4.5/5
- Fahrenheit 11/9(2018) – It’s trademark Michael Moore, a comedic mirror that reflects just how sickening humanity( Mostly Americans) can be – 5/5
- Night is short,Walk on girl(2017) – Re watched because i had such a great time,last time.This time though,was even better. It might just be the cabin fever getting to me but i seriously think I’ve found a new favorite film.I’m in love with this film – 5/5
- She’s Gotta Have It(1986) – What a debut from Spike Lee. Mars Blackmon is such a wonderful character. Oh and that Wizard of Oz transition, a thing of beauty 4.5/5
- LA 92(2017) – With everything that’s going on right now,i don’t think there’s a better time to watch this. So much in this is as powerful and revelvent as today. It’s a nightmare,an American Nightmare – 5/5
Been good getting back to this,a nice recolection of a 2 week period that simultaneously feels like 2 days and 2 months. Also was anyone else sick and tired of people saying it was bank holiday monday,like who gives a fuck,it’s not like it going to make any difference.
Stay sound, stay informed, stay classy.
