Choose life, get a job

People are always searching for the greatest love story of all time, looking at Romeo and Juliet or Bonnie and  Clyde. There's modern ones as well. There's Twilight, There's 50 Shades of grey. Always love, thats what people want, they want a story about two people who had a greater connection than they do so that they can be inspired or whatever, so that they can be like their Idol. I'm not looking for a love story, I'm looking for a break up. I'm looking for a story about some sad guy somewhere who feels more lost and hollow than I do. There aren't too many contenders for the best break up story out there. Mostly break up stories end with the newly single guy finding a new girl and falling in love with her; its just another shite love story to add to the pile. I think I've found it though: I've found the break up that I can watch over and over again. It's the fantastically Scottish, lusciously harsh Trainspotting, directed by Danny Boyle and based on the novel by Irvine Welsh.

It's the story about Mark Renton and how he ends his relationship with Heroin, the only important thing in his life.I can see that I may have lost you: How can a movie about drugs possibly have anything to do with the topic at hand? The answer lies in how Rent boy feels and how he is treated by his friends and how he in turn treats them. He is broken, confined to bed, bored, depressed, angry. Nothing feels right to him any more and he just needs to get out. He can't be with his friends because they remind him too much of himself and the period when he was happy on drugs. its much the same if you were in love but now aren't, especially if the person you loved was good friends with your friends and if you've been with her so long that every brick in the dingy town you grew up reminds you of her smile, the touch of her hands or just her in general.

So you get the fuck out of dodge: Renton moves to England to start a new life but finds he can't escape it, her, drugs, his ex and his friends come looking for it. Now I'm not going to ruin the movie for you  by spilling all the details now but watch it, it has everything you need in a movie: drugs, sex with a minor, a monologue about how shit Scotland is and also Toxoplasmosis. Watch it, and when you do substitute the word Heroin for a girl's name. Like Catherine, They sound similar enough.

Something about a comeback

Not five minutes ago I logged onto this page and realized that someone is still viewing this page. They don't do it often yet do it they do. So I thought I might give them a post. Maybe I'll give them more posts; more observations about life and people and stuff in general.I must admit that there have been some thoughts bumping around my head: why Monsters University is better than pitch perfect, the mystery that is pokemon type matchups and probably something about girls as well. So, reader, whoever you might be, I promise you all of this, maybe more in coming weeks, maybe months, maybe not. One of those three anyway
