What to see next?

So it's the last weekend before Ramadan, so I want to get a movie in before I give it up for a month.

Already enjoyed the laughs from "Horrible Bosses" and "Bridesmaids" (if you haven't seen either of those it's worth going! Very funny indeed).

I am looking forward to everything Charlie Day does next, I have already been a fan for years! Can't wait for the new season of IASIP to start One of my favourites and I am sure he will do many great things in the future! Jasons Batemen & Sudeikis, and Jamie Foxx, always funny. Never disappoint. What can I say? Fan. I won't say too much as I don't want to give anything away. Go see it and we can compare notes!

What I didn't expect, just how HOT Jennifer Aniston could be. I mean.. The woman was always hot.. But as a straight woman I was drooling pretty much every time she was on screen. Yup. (I need a new work out regime). Colin Farrell was pretty damn funny as well. And.. Mr Spacey.. Well.. He reminded me of MY bosses o_O Workwise, at least, he was probably the one that best represented my work environment. Oh joy..


"Bridesmaids" - hilarious. It's not your typical romcom. It's a Judd Apatow flick (writers Kristen Wiig & Annie Mumolo, director Paul Feig, and producer Judd Apatow) so boys can expect it to be more like "Knocked Up" than say..  "Sex and the City." And with SNL chicks (i.e. Kristen Wiig & Maya Rydolph) involved.. Win! Boys, it's easy to ignore the girly bits, "Wedding Crashes" had girly bits too! Gotta mention Melissa McCarthy was pretty impressive. From what I have seen her in, e.g. "Gilmore Girls," she definitely showed a.. different.. side.. It had to be noted!

So you should have now learnt Charlie Day is awesome.. Jennifer Aniston is hot! And a movie called "Bridesmaids" is for guys too!

Anyway, now I am still left wondering "Super 8" or "Harry Potter"........?

Kind of leaning towards Harry Potter, 'cause its the last one, and I watched all the rest of them, so may as well be done with it. Right? But what if Super 8 is really really awesome? More awesome than I can know 'cause I can't really tell from the trailer. Very vague.. Very mysterious. Damn it, JJ Abrams. But with his and Steven Spielberg's names attached... I am TOO intrigued!!!


Sigh...

Amy Winehouse

Still saddened, is it strange? I am sick of hearing people say what's happening in Norway or wherever is more important. Sorry... Did Norway touch as many lives? Maybe, I don't know. Who can place value of one death over another? The world losing a talent like Amy seems important to me. Someone blessed with such a gift and gone too soon is always a big deal to me. It's not just Amy's passing, it's the disease itself: Addiction / Depression. Whatever it was that led to this point. For Jimi for Kurt for Janis for everyone who died too soon. I don't want to watch any more talents go like this. Or maybe it's 'cause I too am 27 years old.

Amy was probably one of the best talents to come out of this generation. I was so hoping for her to get well and make a huge come back and give the biggest F@*k You to everyone for beating her while she was down. But sadly that will never be. It's sad that despite all her talent all the focus was on her downfall. I can't handle losing all these talents to this disease.

Perhaps what happened in Norway was a once off incident, I'm not insensitive to it, it was tragic indeed, but this disease is taking too many greats. And I know Amy won't be the last. Perhaps that is why it bothers me as much as it does. Addiction and depression are taking too many lives. Greats and non greats. It's taking too many lives in general.

People tend to blame the addicts instead of the disease. Amy and others slipped through the cracks, and I don't want to let any one else fall as well. There is help out there, I know this. It is avoidable. They can be saved. I may be powerless to change Amy's fate, but I can only hope that none will follow. It's a dream, but I dream nonetheless.

RIP Amy Winehouse, Legend, gone too soon

Awesome Love

I know this isn't something that I should be complaining about. I know people mean well by checking up on me. But sometimes I just don't have the time to check in. I feel like I am expected to report on where I am and what I am doing all the time. If I am busy, I am supposed to let you know. If I am sick, I am supposed to let you know. In all honesty, I really don't have to.

Yes, it's nice to know that people care enough to check up on me. But if I am not responding on email, don't try and BBM me then tweet me then facebook me then sms me and call me... Chances are, if I was too busy to email back I am probably too busy to respond on all those other avenues as well. Make an assumption and wait for me to find the time to respond.


You may feel that I should surely have the time to respond, just to tell YOU what's up. That would be true if you were the only one asking.. What about everyone else? Seriously, I love you all, but what the frak man? The only exception I make in these circumstances are for my parents / brothers (because they are probably looking for me on my parents' behalf anyway). And the only reason that is, is because they worry to the extent that the whole world might get involved!

Best I could do for now, is change my facebook status. Last resort. I hate advertising, 'cause now everyone, and not just the people trying to reach me, all know what's up. And I was forced to do this cause I kept being bugged! Was so busy and stressed that my body started to rebel and I am now sick.

So forgive me if I am not being "nice" and responding to you on all your messages in a timely fashion. Just assume I am busy and I will get back to you. Because I generally do, don't I?

So now you know what's up. I will respond to you all individually when I have the time. But for now, please be patient...

[P.S. If you're wondering why I have time to write this message but not respond to you, it's probably because this is a one sided conversation and I can end it whenever I like]

The Knife

I speak of aching I know exists
You throw it back I am dismissed
Again I regret this share of mine
I feel more broken after every time

Maybe you've never felt such darkness
(You don't have to believe me)
Never fallen into such abyss
(You can go on without me)

Again I'm putting on this disguise
For now from you I can't unhide
Too soon it will be just as before
And I will resent you a little more

Maybe you've never felt such darkness
(You don't have to believe me)
Never fallen into such abyss
(You can go on without me)

I'll put on my old façade,
(And you will never know me)
The one that everyone loves
(And you will be so happy)
You think this is the life,
I might just turn to a...

Overshare

Okay.. I'm going to do something I've never thought I'd do over blogger. I'm not a poet. Nor do I claim to be any good. But occasionally something just stirs inside me enough to spit out something.. like.. this..
