this makes me feel good and im sorry im selfish
last nite im feeling truly terriblly sick, i woke up at 7pm and was dying...my eyes were all puffy and i was oozing and goozing and my mouth was dry and i was coughing uncontrollably, sore throat, pain everywhere, truly awful..i stumbled to the bathroom and i saw jon and one of the many dans of PoFoFlo (potomac fourth floor, i didnt make it up) this one was dan t., the one who calls me carrot...he calls me carrot cuz i commisioned my brother to do a dry erase portrait of me on my door on parents weekend in October..and he drew me a Carrotcature, a picture of what i would look like if i were a carrot (again we didnt make this up its from The Brak Show on adult swim)..anyway the picture has inexplicably not been erased yet, i guess its just too priceless a piece of art for anyone to even contemplate sullying...once again anyway, everyone laughed when they saw the picture but since then dan t. is the only one who calls me carrot...and this i dont mind cuz i junior year i used carry a plastic carrot around that i took from the nose of a snowman i drive-by-knocked-down...i had some fun times with that carrot and those girls...the point is i was sick and looked like shit and dan t says hey carrot and we had a rather hilarious conversation about me going out that nite and how i looked...but i dont remember it but i laughed alot and it would illustrate my sickly state if only i hadnt led u roundabout through all this background just to leave u hanging..like u cared anyway...

so back to earth...i was sick so i cried about it and then had some dayquil...i needed to study but i couldnt get Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas out of my head so i set off for blockbuster and didnt make it past my bed and fell asleep for 1/2 an hour...mike offered to loan me his car to go but i would have to take 2 bus rides to get the keys and the car and do it again to return it so i just decided to walk in the snow to blockbuster...its a good 25 minute walk without snow...and i dont have boots here and the sidewalks were covered in plowed up hills of snow so it sucked...i had to cross a pretty busy highway too..and hey i get there and they dont have it for rent nor sale on neither DVD nor VHS..so i went to a little place not far from it that is a Stove and Video store..its so stupid..they sell and rent videos and DVD's and sell stoves, wood burning stoves, electric stoves...what a crazy combo..anyway they didnt have it either..so i stopped at Kmart as a last hope for purchase and no dice..i mean im most likely getting this for christmas but i just had an insatiable craving...so i got some cheesesteaks and hotdogs at sheetz and went home and watched hackman.hopper.Hoosiers.hapiness... i was feeling deathly ill and i was once again in the snow for an hour, smoking and not getting any better...so i could have summed it all up with i am an idiot but i'd rather waste ur time...

arhhh as im posting that incredible ear pain from sat, sun and mon is coming back and i have to concentrate on my business final at 3:30

hey danny, i turned on my computer today just to see if you had updated, luckily you did. im sorry to see you're under the weather, please try and take care of yourself, i want a healthy and happy dan for Florida.

by the way, i dont think i comment enough on your posts, but i always read them, mostly a few times, i can appreciate the pictures as well, this and maybe one or two other journals are the only webpages that i go to.

Dan. get some rest, drink some orange juice and do some reading.
ill see you in 8 or 9 days, i may have to stay here at school a little longer than planned... stay well.


+the fever?
-yeah.
+well, the fever is basically, whatever ales you.. or represses you, it could be anything, in my case its my nerosis, my depression, but.. i dont want to be limited to that. Its certainly different for different people. Its whatever keeps you up at night.
-i see.
+And the mirror is like, as you might have guessed, self examination, mmm a reflection, or, whatever form, this could be vanity or self loathing, i know im guilty of both
-thats intersting. how about the scale?
+the scale is essentially, our attempt to, solve our Problems Quantatativly, through Logic, or rationalization. In my opinion its often friutless, but always.. well. not always...... and the clocks and calenders and such, its just, Time, our little measurments, its like.. its always chasing after us.
-Thats true, thats true. hm, how about this arienette. how does she fit in all this?
+uh, id prefer not to talk about it, in case shes listening.
-oh, i see, im sorry, i didnt realize shes a real person
+shes not, i...made her up
-oh, so shes not real.
+just as real as you or i
-i dont think i understand.
+either do i but, after i grow up, i will. i mean.. i... a lot of things are unclear to me right now.
-thats intersting, now you mentioned your depression
+no i didnt.
-youre from nebraska right?
+yeah.. so?
-Now, let me know if im getting too personal, but there seems to be a pretty dark past back there somewhere, what was it like for you growing up?
+dark. no, not really, actually i had a great childhood, my parents were wonderful, i went to catholic school. they had money so it was, easy, i basically had anything i wanted any time
-interesting, so some of the references like babies and bathtubs arent biographical?
+well, i did have a brother who died in a bathtub... drowned...... actually i have 5 brothers that died that way
-ha
+ no im being serious, my mother drowned one every year for 5 consecutive years, they were all named patrick, so, they each got one song.
-hmm.
+do you ever hear things that arent really there?
-i dont think i understand.
+nevermind. how long have you been working at this station?
-oh just a few minutes.
-you mentioned empathy for others, is that what motivates you to make the music that you make.
+no, not really, its more of a need sympathy, i want the audience to feel sorry for me. i like the feel of the burn of the audiences eyes, when im whispering all my darkest secrets.
-really? you're telling me youre doing all this for attention?
+no i hate it when people look at me, i get naucious, in fact i could care less for what people think of me. what do you feel?
-im feeling sick.

i was writing my Motor development final, and i was thinking, you know, as a director, Kevin smith really isnt anything special. Offhand, i cant remember if he also writes the movies, but im pretty sure he does. this leads me to my next set of complaints. Jay and silent bob strike back was really a peice of garbage. now, i thought it was funny when i saw it, but everytime ive seen it since then, it just annoys me more and more. its just stupid penis and gay jokes throught the whole movie. its too much. as side characters jasb are funny, they're a nice comic relief. But a whole movie of them was abad idea. not to mention the plot really drags in the middle. Will ferrel really saved a lot of scenes in that movie. i dont know, maybe i was swept up in the whole idea of it being cool to like kevin smith movies, but i was writing my final on balance and postural changes observed in older adults. and i had this reoccuring thought about how much that movie annoys me now.
anyway, mallrats was well written, chasing amy and clerks had probably the most depth in the characters. and Dogma was a great movie, no doubt his best. anyway, aside from dogma, kevin smith has put out some pretty mediocre to amusing movies. he is definatly over credited. we'll have to see what he puts out next, it Cant be any worse than jay and silent bon strike back.

hi dan.

i already wrote u an email expressing my point of view on Kevin smiths films..but i was reading ur reply again and i saw u said that he is over credited...i couldn't disagree more..he has made me and many other ppl laugh more than most comedy writers or directors. And he is still an underground cult figure..he is not recognized publicly as a talent in hollywood, he's getting there but hes not there yet. People who follow his career think hes a hero because he is easy to relate to...hes the average geek making movies with his friends. He writes and acts and directs...the rest of the crew are his hometown friends..he works with the same likeable friendly cast of characters..you feel you really get to know him and everyone involved...you've seen them evolve into actors and producers...from the time they were nobodys to now building up to hollywood..you can walk through the the tri-town area of Leonardo and Red Bank and meet people like Walt Flannagan, the Lon Chaney of the 90's who played over 10 characters in Clerks because they had nobody else to do it...he gives you so much information, through commentaries, specials, special features, and the writing of his films...all the previous films of the View Askewniverse were all paralells from Kevins own life..all the movies connect and that makes u feel like ur part of the joke, that ur one of his friends making the movies...hes not over credited, hes still just a nobody making movies with his pals, including inside jokes that none of us will get unless we watch the commentaries and become part of his life and world..thats why i like the guy, cuz he opens the door to let u into his world and hes too much like you, to not go in and check it out..and hes funny, smart funny and dumb as dirt potty humor funnny.

now who knows, now that he has closed the book on the View Askeniverse and Jay and Silent Bob, maybe he will go hollywood, get recognition, not seem so 'joe normal' and not give u so much background info that you feel like one of his friends...
