getting that feeling that i'm at this place i feel i should be, but wished i didn't have to walk the road i walked on to get there. do the ends really justify the means? does that reasoning even work when talking about your own life? probably not.
something fun first: just watched nacho libre, which i quite enjoyed for reasons i can't really understand. my worries that the numerous trailers i saw on comedy central back in chicago would spoil the fun of the movie was unfounded. the trailers show pretty much the first third of the movie, and the meat of the movie comes later, if it actually has any meat in the first place. yet somehow there was something heartwarming about the subject matter. i really hated napoleon dynamite, but director heder's style seems more easily appreciated when the story is actually somewhat coherent. the little vignettes of randomness are still there, and so are the long, bordering on awkward one-shots of characters looking confused. but you feel for jack black's nacho, who really wants to be liked. i think that's what won me over, the fact that the characters are genuinely likeable, which has been rare this summer.
anyways, i was listening to my morning jacket when i finally realise why the song "anytime" is called "anytime". part way through, the singer sings "anytime's a good time to move on". and that kind of makes the rest of the song make sense. i think we all need to keep moving on. that's part of life i think. if we don't go forward, we'll end up falling back, and in life that's a really bad thing.
oh well, weekend's here. 3 more weeks and i'll be done. more things to look forward to, not to mention another year.
