One thing that I wanted to blabber about was that the movie Empire brought up the issue that America is the land for success and all that matters is money, respect, and power. That is true to some extent. The movie also goes on to emphasize the importance of friends in life. Very true. The plot is the classic would-you-leave-your-lifelong-friends-to-become-rich scheme. The people you meet at the top of the economy aren't usually the best of friends you'll ever meet. Some of the best friends are created through the toughest of times. I myself try not to be too concerned with money, but it's fun to talk about it. It's when it takes you over that you need to start worrying. Money can't buy true friendship, though some out there think they can. And I'm sure you can for a very little percentage of the time. Money hungry folk will do anything to get more money. I empathized with the guy in the movie for the most part. Hopefully I won't follow the same path if the chance ever confronts me.
Well, it's the weekend and my finger is almost to full healing. One more day? I can type way more easily now. Laura just called and she is now back in Denver. She had fun. I have some stories too. Well last night Chris and I went to Westminster to see Empire, which was a great movie. A lot of mexicans in the theater though and this one fucking cracker fuck was behind me kicking the chair all through the movie. I was about to bust his ass and kill his family. But anyway, on the way back, I told Chris to find a different way home...bad mistake. First we head down this road and I thought he knew where he was going. He starts going into the mountains and I start becoming worried that he doesn't know where he's going. It's true. We drive for nearly 40 minutes and we end up in FUCKING ESTES PARK. Yes, that's about 40 minutes away from home. So we get there and he's like, I must have turned at a wrong place...no shit. We drive back home and I get home around 3am, when I really wanted to be home at 2am. I don't trust Chris with his "shortcuts" ANYMORE. Then I was like, it would be cool to have a GPS in the car in times like these. It would have helped so much. I was by myself on this road near the house and this dumbass comes up and wants to race me. I was like, fuck it, and he races into my lane and turns. Idiot. I'm going to bake the rest of my bread now. I am fairly hungry. I might make eggs or something too. Anyway, laters.
