Good morning Oklahoma City and other areas where there are people.
The filming of The DaVinci Code movie is underway in Europe right now. The movie is based on the book of the same name by author Dan Brown. The book makes some bold claims about the life of Christ. People have even shown up to the movie set protesting the movie. What? That’s right. Time for cynicism laced logic.
I completely understand where people might be angry about what they have read in this book. I too cannot seem to be passionate about things that matter. I’m constantly ignoring the war, our country and the mistreatment of people in general for more important things like books about wizards or Jesus. Forget about dead soldiers, abused kids or your failing marriage, let’s concentrate on a work of fiction.
Maybe I’m wrong about this. Maybe I’m the only one who isn’t forced to read books I disagree with or watch shows I don’t want to watch. What? No one is forced to read things they don’t want to or watch things they don’t want to or hear things they don’t want to? Entertainment is a personal choice? Wow. Amazing. Turns out entertainment is a choice. Just like everything else.
That whole last thing about the book and movie was something I hadn’t intended to write about but the pun ‘Pope Fiction’ was too good to waste. Sorry about all the preachy stuff again. It’s early and I kind of feel guilty about it. Sorry. Don’t hate me girl. This time will be different. That other stuff didn’t mean nothing to me girl. Come back……………….
So my buddy never called the girl that knows Jack-Wuh-Lynn. That’s the end of that. Thanks buddy.
Tonight is bachelor party kaboom for my friend Billy. I am the best man which is super cool. I’ve never been the best man at anything. I’m not talking about just weddings either. I suck pretty bad at everything. I guess In the Saved By The Bell of life someone has to be Screech.
RIGHT NOW
SONG - From Rusholme Withe Love by Mint Royale- It’s the song that plays at the beginning of Vanilla Sky where Tom Cruise is running through Times Square.
MOVIE - Vanilla Sky. Like everything Cameron Crow does this movie is horribly underrated.
OF THE TWO GIRLS IN THE MOVIE - Penelope Cruz. She seems to be pretty funny and nice in the movie. I also don’t like that Cameron Diaz looks like a PEZ dispenser.
PLACE I’LL BE TONIGHT FOR MY FRIEND’S BACHELOR PARTY - Citywalk. Stop by and say hi. That’ll be nice and awkward.
I wish this had been better. You guys deserve so much more than my ramblings. I’ll continue to try to bring you the best free comedy this side of reading Family Circus. “Mom? What’s ‘pasketti’?” Oh Billy.
Pope Fiction was damn funny and you know it.
Happy birthday mom.
Holla.
