Ok, so unless you live under a rock in a cave on Mars and have been struck deaf, dumb, and blind, then you know that this blog entry is gonna be about...dun, dun, da-dun...the SIMPSONS MOVIE!!
Ok, so I went to see the movie yesterday with my boyfriend and the Rona boys...we decided that it had to be an event, of course, cause its the SIMPSONS MOVIE!! So 8 of us all trecked out to Islington and Queensway to the cineplex there. Why you ask? We don't know since the majority of people there live in Meadowvale, but thats fine. Maybe thats how we managed to only get there 20 minutes before the movie started and were still able to all sit together!
So anyway, on to the movie!! Awesome! I won't spoil anything for you by giving any details, but I can tell you I was most definitely impressed by the movie. Primarily because it was actually a movie, not just an extended episode, or worse like the Family Guy movie, 3 episodes stuck together that they now break up all the time and play for free on TV.
Anyway, there's a real plot, they keep true to all the Simpsons character attitudes and behaviours, and somehow or another manage to give the movie all the elements that a good, I repeat GOOD, comedy movie has to offer. Its not consistent jokes, or hilarious jokes surrounded by minutes of waiting for the next joke...when you weren't laughing you actually cared about the plot and wondered how they were gonna solve all the problems, and all the jokes were appropriate and actually aided in plot and character development. And they actually bother to connect all the things that happen in the movie to other things....you know, the concept of follow through!
I personally give it an enthusiatic 5 thumbs up and recommend it for everyone! There are definitely a few surprises along the way, and trust me, you haven't heard or seen all the good parts just cause you've seen the previews, like most other movies nowadays!!
A word to the wise...they do actually tell jokes all the way through the credits, even after you think the jokes are over, so if you're not in a hurry as you're leaving, rather than waiting in line for ten minutes to try and file out of the theatre with all the others, sit tight and enjoy the jokes til the end of the credits!
Anyway, let me know what you think of it when you see you! (And you better!!)
lol
(and for those of you from the cave in Mars, here's one of the trailers)

So, to explain...
Ok, so I thought maybe what I should do is explain where I was coming from when I said that I think saying that you know exactly what someone's going through, or that you understand what they're going through, is a false statement.
First off, the reasoning is illogical. If there are 2 people who each have they're dog die on exactly the same day, can you say that one knows what the other is going through? At first glance it may seem that way, but it really isn't. That dog could mean to one family that they've lost a member of their family, one that will be loved and missed, and they will be able to recall good times with that dog. To the other, it may be that this dog was the bond holding their family together because the dog was found at their doorstep on the first christmas after they had recently lost a newborn baby, and the dog filled the void like nothing else could.
Ok, so from here I'm sure you could say to yourself, well what if both families had the exact same affection for the dog with generally the exact same circumstances. The answer to this brings me to my second point. Each individual has different experiences than any other, and those experiences affect how they think, feel, and react to the world. So therefore two families can have the exact same affection for said dog, but each moment each person in each respective family has lived has made them into the people they are, and therefore will impact the way in which the dogs passing affects them.
And thirdly, a persons general disposition and thought process will also affect the way in which they react to the dog passing. Lets take the second example, where the dog was the family's glue. If family one thinks that teh dog was their glue, and was an angel sent by God to help them through a difficult time, their feelings toward the dog's passing will be entirely different than the family who thinks that God is against them and takes all that is good from them. See my point?
Not to mention any other factor that may come into play, of which I won't mention all, because I couldn't consider them all, but include the dogs health at the time, the ways in which each family grieves, the other difficulties surronding the dogs passing such as financial or emotional troubles, external support systems....
And keep in mind that I only used this one example as far as what the dogs meant to each respective family. If you take all of these things into account, and the countless combinations of each, how can you ever think you know exactly what someone else is going through? And even if someone tried to explain they're thoughts and feelings, they wouldn't even be aware of some of the other circumstances impacting their thoughts and feelings and reactions. So how could you think, ever, that you actually understand?
Just some food for thought here, but when someone is going through a situation, I think it would be very unwise for one to utter these words. Just listen, respect their wishes if they need to be alone, try to sympathise, and let them know that you care. Thats the most you can do. Otherwise you get into the dialogue of "..no, you don't understand because...". And why stress your friend out with having to try to expain to you exactly what they're going through and feeling at the time? Suffice it to say you'll never really understand. And you don't have to...you're not expected to.

No You Don't !!!!
Don't you just hate when someone has the nerve to say to you "I know exactly what you're going through". Even for someone to say that they understand what you're going through I think is somewhat innaccurate, but I don't find it offensive. Most of the time...Ok, fine, I only don't find it offensive if it comes from one of my loved ones or good friends. So I'm a little touchy about certain things. Its just cause I'm deep and very emotionally sensitive (try not to burst out laughing!)
So anyway, I start the blog off in this way cause just the other day (Thursday to be exact) I had this jerk say that he knows exactly what I'm going through, and then had the nerve to continue on by telling me not only what I should be doing right now, but HOW I SHOULD BE FEELING!!!!! All I was thinking was you gotta be fricking kidding me here, but no no, the jerk wouldn't back off, wouldn't go away, wouldn't understand the concept that when someone's grieving you respect their wishes and give them their space if they need it cause everyone deals with grief differently, and everyone goes through different stages at different times.
But no, he (I mean stupid jerk face...the more I think of him again, the worse his new name becomes!) decided to tell me I have no right to be out having a drink trying to relax ON A THURSDAY if I wasn't in the mood to sit there and socialize with him, and be in a laughing, joking mood. I'd like, at this point, to share with you that I can barely tolerate him when I'm having a great day, let alone when I'm not. Then, I swear the jerk actually wanted to fight me cause I told him to f*** off cause quite frankly I was tired of this 10 minute long conversation we were having about whether he should leave me alone or not, and him, like the friend only in a much more ignorant way, telling me that ohhh, its all a part of life so just deal with it...EXCUSE ME?!?!?!?!?!
Ever feel like knocking someone out?
Even if I was feeling just peachy, even if nothing was bothering me, even if I had an absolutely fantastic life, if I'm not in the mood to have a conversation with anyone, I'm not having a conversation with anyone. If I want to sit absolutely silently by myself and not speak to anyone except to nod a greeting of hello, thats my damn right. And I'll be damned if someone tries to tell me that I can't do that while having a beer at a bar...I don't go to the bar for people, I go for BEER! And the fact that this freak actually was trying to force me to socialize with him shows just how pathetic and, well, pathetic the jerk really was.
So, I just wanted to point out today, my friends, how absolutely pathetic and rude, and selfish, and disrespectful some people can really be. Like come on, where was he raised? In a cave by a pack of wolves? Have some frigging respect! No, I'm wrong. I know it. That was so mean of me....wolves actually mourn and have some respect...I know, Hyenas!! He was raised by hyenas!! Anyway, enough for now
Cheers

This Sucks
Didn't want to leave you hanging, so I thought I'd let you know I may not be writing for a few days, and if I do it may not be as fascinating and riviting as usual!! Seriously though, on a very serious note, I just wanted to share the concept that death sucks, no matter how it happens, and it always sucks more when it affects your own life. Being sad sucks too. In fact, I'm going to say being sad sucks a whole lot more than death does.
I'm really starting to think that everything sucks, and I wonder why it is that everything sucks as much as it does. Work sucks, school sucks, boyfriend sucks, friends suck, most movies nowadays suck. I wonder whether everything sucks, or whether my attitude sucks. Probably a combination of both, really. But I wonder whether I'd have such a bad attitude to begin with if everything didn't suck to begin with. I can remember times when I didn't have such a bad attitude toward everything...i was about 4, and life was always magical and wonderful! (if you're interested in more of my rant about how childhood is awesome and adulthood sucks (or does it?!?!) visit my Digital Stories page and chose the one titled Aging Crisis). Honestly watching the story might show you that I'm not actually always as cynical and critical as I am being right now.
To tell you the truth...my yesterday sucked, and the reason it sucked is because it started in the way every other day does, only this time it ended in such a sucky way, it really made me see not the silver lining on every cloud, but the dark, stormy undertone on them.....grrr....Ok, thanks for hearing out my vent. That actually made me feel a bit better....I guess whats always frustrating is that you know that the rest of life doesn't suck and if this situation didn't happen, you would still think life was fine, and one day you'll get past this pain, but today....today everything sucks, and it will until you feel better. God, I hope thats sooner rather than later. Especially for the others in this situation. They'll need this rant more than I did.
If you don't hear from me, I hope all is well with you, and I will get back as soon as possible (hopefully tomorrow with a better disposition!)
For now, I found nice, pathetic sounding country song that almost cheers me up with how sad sounding it is...enjoy
Cheers

What's my Philosophy?
Ok, so I was reading through the roblog today, which is really good and you should read it, but anyway, i was reading through it, and I was thinking to myself...whats my vision? I mean, for my blog? I've titled it philosophical reflection, the address is the Real JC Philosophy....shouldn't I have a philosophy that I'm functioning on? Some set of rules, thoughts, or regulations that are like the modus operandi while posting to the blog?
(Oh, by the way, if I've used any terminology incorrectly, or if I do in the future, I apologize...I like to use big words, especially if I only have a very, very vague concept of what they mean...if I use it in the right context it makes me sound smarter doesn't it? And more so, during an argument, when you use words like that it helps you to win a fight if the person you are arguing against has absolutely no idea what the word you said meant cause you can start expanding thea meaning of this word to cover every point you have. And if the person you are arguing against DOES know what the word means, don't panic. Stand firm to the concept that as long as you don't let them force you into revealing what you THINK the definition of the word is, they have absolutely no proof whatsoever that you're just bluffing. Trust me, stand firm, and eventually they will, almost by accident, reveal the definition of the word to you, in a way similar to this:
"What the hell are you talking about? _________means __________ not (insert what you were implying it meant here) !
This is where you can win, but only if you play your cards right! You can:
a)say I know...that's what I was saying (and then quickly twist your own words around to fit the definition your opponent has graciously given you ;-), or
b)Deny that the definition they gave you for the word applies to the situation that you are referring to now...i.e., take said word's definition, say how it could apply in the way in which they were saying, but it can also be looked at in this way, and that the way you present it is more accurate given the situation.
Option A works best for the new at this, so I would say this is what the majority should be using. B is seriously for the super talented, definitely requires advanced talent, so don't use unless you have already mastered at least the skill of double talking!)
Don't, however, follow Stan Smith's way of trying to win an argument...you'll never be successful
Ok, so where was I? oh, right, the philosophy thing? I wonder what my philosophy is? I don't know, I guess maybe those who had a philosophy at the time weren't calling their philosophy a philosophy, and most of those that are self professed philosophers who try to tell everyone else their philosophy are either scam artists, cult leaders, or crazy (hmmmm....no, i won't go there...today!). Well, I guess I don't have much to write then right now...sorry guys! :-( Don't worry, I'll try to get in more than a couple paragraphs next time...
Cheers
P.S. If anyone is interested, which of course I am, the new Cosmo just came in the mail!!! Yayyy!! i know you're all excited for me! lol

Impressionable
Oops!! I had a feeling something like this would happen; I would get all excited cause I started something new, but then somehow through the confusion of the next 12 hours (and bear in mind I pretty much do nothing all day!) I would forget about the insignificant details of the task I started...for example, following through with this whole BLOG thing and actually entering something in for yesterday. I guess thats always been my problem, in a nutshell...no follow through! Seriously...once I even turned the oven off halfway through baking chicken cause I could not be bothered to wait for it to finish (there was probably only like 25 minutes left!)
Ok, but anyway, again enough with this ranting of mine, I am supposed to be trying to share something with you all. Hmmm...well, I did get a new laptop yesterday! Its kinda neat, even has the webcam thing...thinking of starting a video blog....
Ok, obviously sharing is not my cup of tea. I clearly have such a boring life that nobody at all would care, whatsoever, if I tried to share all the details of it with you. That being said, I think that what I THINK about everyone elses lives is absolutely fascinating! yeah....I think I am going to stick to that! Ohhhh...I did want to let you know though, that I figured out why I started a blog...after hearing of a friends RobLog on facebook.....I HATE FACEBOOK!!! (but more on that later)...and the following he was getting, I thought it might be interesting to try one out myself.
To tell you the truth, I am one of the most impressionable people on the face of the planet! Seriously! Although I, personally, am so happy reality TV exists, I have had numerous people watch a show with me dreading what my response will be...after watching American Inventor, I had ALWAYS been an inventor, and had always had such good ideas...I start to sing during the commercials for American Idol, start talking of how talented a cheerleader I was and how if only I had the opportunity that those on So You Think You Can Dance have how I would be a star....and you cannot forget that my number one passion has always been to be a model while I am watching Canadas Next Top Model (or actress if we are watching Youre The One I Want!).
Sometimes my ridiculous comments are true, most of them in fact. Or, at least, I should say they WERE true, back before all my hopes and dreams were crushed...or, probably more accurately when I realised that you have to actually put in some kind of effort in order to be really talented at something and then signed or discovered by someone. Whatever, same dif!! Anyway, the whole point being is that reality TV is like my crack...every time I watch it I see all the possibilities my life could possibly hold if only, and heres the kicker, I could have the opportunity that those people have....pretty delusional huhÉ Especially given that I stopped trying to persue those dreams, like, at least 6 years ago!! Anyway, enough of this for today!
Cheers!!

A New Adventure
Ok, so this is my first Blog ever. Not that I was against blogging, it was just that I couldn't really understand the hysteria behind certain events surrounding blogs. For example-the situation involving lonelygirl15's blog on YouTube. Who cares that she was just an actress reading a script? Honestly? Ok, I get that blogs in and of themselves are supposed to be personal expressions of ones thoughts and feelings and ideas, etc., but really, why does it matter so deeply to everyone that this girl and her associate were fibbing?
Ok, in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's one of her video blogs from youtube
Really, I find it sad that so many people used this '15 year old girl's' life as some type of gospel as to how life is or what they should do and feel. I think that's really the issue here; far too many people are relying on the media, and others, to tell them how they should feel about things, what they should do with their lives, and what they should think about everything. Ok, be disappointed that this life you were following that you found fascinating was fabricated, but only in the same way you are disappointed when you find out that shows like CSI aren't based on reality. But to be so morally outraged? Seriously, and I don't want to offend anyone, but get a life!
Ok, all of that being said, I wanted to start off this blog by letting everyone know exactly why I'm doing it. And obviously, given my mini-rant here, it's clearly not to influence other people's lives, or to have others validate my thoughts and feelings by trying to live like I do, or do the things I do. I just really want the opportunity to share my thoughts and feelings, and like many others I feel that writing them down is much a much more effective catharsis than getting all muddled up trying to bring the words straight from thought to verbal word without a medium in between.
I hope you enjoy reading this blog. But, as I'm sure you can tell from this first message, I'm very opinionated and not shy at all about it. And really, I hope never to offend anyone, but at the same time I couldn't care less whether someone finds my feelings offensive or not. They're my feelings, not yours, if you don't like 'em, don't read 'em. Feel free to respond to anything and everything I say. Its always interesting to get a second opinion.
Cheers!
