Old man drivers in Nashville are SO MEAN. This guy totally cut me off today in the Green Hills mall parking lot, and I almost hit him, so I honked, because a. I had the rightaway, b. He was like, the third old guy to cut me off in a two-minute span of time, and c. I really did almost hit him. This guy- comes to a complete stop. Opens his whole door, leans out of it looking angry enough to slice my throat and screams at me, "SLOW DOWN!" I was so shocked and my passenger was so dismayed I almost cried. It was so UNNECESSARY! Why?
So I dropped my passenger off at the bank and didn't feel like parking because she was going to be like, 30 seconds, so I pulled up to the front and waited. This old guy comes out of the bank (he totally SEES me sitting there), and starts to back up. So I start to pull up, you know, trying to be nice and move so he can back out. But I'm not fast enough so he honks at me as I'm pulling up, then pulls up beside me, honks again, mouths the word "PARK!" to me while gesturing angrily to the parking spaces.
But I mean, really? Like, what is wrong with people?
I saw the new Batman in IMAX the other night and I... have mixed emotions.
Like sure, it's kind of a kick-ass movie, awesome stunts, extremely well-written and produced, all that. But it's so... intense. It's a very dense movie.
And don't you kind of feel... responsible? After the movie was over- well really, about half-way through the movie I felt really uneasy and then I figured out why. Watching that movie made me feel responsible for Heath Ledger's death. And I just... I really feel like we killed him for our entertainment. He was so... to be in that horrible place for as long as they were filming, to be inside that character, I would have... I don't know. It just made me feel extremely uncomfortable to be paying to be entertained by what most likely killed him.
I guess I'm done, nobody else but Doug seems to understand this sentiment so I'll leave it alone, but that movie just made me feel weird, and kind of depressed about society for a while.
Wow, this post is a downer. Sorry.
