It is never too late to be what you might have been. — George Eliot

To be honest, I wasn’t too excited to see this movie at first. I thought it would be fun to watch but end up being just another meaningless romantic comedy. Boy, was I wrong. I loved (500) Days of Summer. The movie was not just another chick flick. The audience was filled with boys and girls alike. And as the narrator clearly specifies at the beginning of the movie, this is not just some love story. Read more…

This movie is a true chick flick. I haven’t seen a real love story like this in a while, so if you’re not into that kind of thing, this movie probably isn’t for you. Even for those who love chick flicks, I don’t know if I would really recommend this movie. Maybe it’s my fault for having such high expectations for the film, but I found The Time Traveler’s Wife to be somewhat disappointing. Read more…
1) “F#&% that B!+(#!!!”
They say boys mature slower than girls. I say pre-teen boys are the epitome of this idea. Walk down the halls of a junior high, and you’ll see what I mean. There’s a whole brigade of fine young men ready to drop f-bombs when given the chance, and believe me, they’ll find their chance. No matter how small the opportunity, they will find a way to express their newfound vocabulary.
Now I’m not hating on everyone who swears – just those who will cuss up a storm because they think they look cool doing it. News flash: you don’t.
2) Delirium Over Maturity Level
Have you ever noticed that the one person who likes to talk about how immature everyone else is is usually the one who is the most immature? PC from Bravo’s NYC Prep is a perfect example of this. He makes fun of people to make himself look superior and pouts when he doesn’t get his way. He then brags about how he’s more mature than everyone else when in reality, he’s probably the most childish kid on that show.
3) All Talk & No Action
If you say you’re going to do something then do it. Please do not have a four-hour discussion with me on something you never plan on doing. Thank you.
4) Show-offs
Now I know I’m not the only one who is annoyed by show-offs. I don’t mind if you’re enthusiastic or proud of something, but there comes a certain point where you really need to shut up about it and stop bragging because chances are, it’s really not that great of an accomplishment anyway. If you got an A on your paper, then hey great job! If you got an A on your paper, and I got an F, and you’re rubbing it in my face for the third time today, I might try to kill you. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
5) Erroneous utilization of English lexis
I am all for using fancy terminology to create a written masterpiece. Throw in some flowery words here and there to really embellish a story and make yourself seem smart. But if you end up using an adjective as a noun, that kind of defeats the whole purpose of using your big, smart words now doesn’t it?
What I find even more interesting is that people actually fall for this fancy vocabulary and end up believing that this writer is in fact a genius. Well, I give kudos to you Mr. Intellectual for actually tricking people into believing you’re intelligence is far greater than it really is.
6) “Dude I was so wasted last night…”
This exact sentence is heard way too often. People brag about getting drunk like it’s something to be proud of, and they always seem to say it really loud, as if it’s an announcement to anyone with ears. Please stop. It is not attractive, it does not make you special, and you are not the only one who has said this today.
Ah, the sweet sound of the roaring engine at the moment of takeoff. The possibility of meeting someone new and interesting. The excitement of going on that much-anticipated vacation. Who doesn’t love flying?
Oh wait… did I forget about the annoying passengers who can’t seem to stop talking? The over-packers who think they’re the only ones who need space for their bags in the overhead compartments? The flight attendants who aren’t nearly as friendly as they’re made out to be in the movies? Not to mention the long security lines filled with middle-aged tourists who just don’t understand the concept of a metal detector. Read more…
