Nothing

"Nothing was solved when the fight was over, but nothing mattered."
Fight Club

My life is inconsequential. I am not the best at anything in the world. And even if I was, I would still be nothing. The strongest ant can be crushed by a sandal.

Movies

I was watching a movie with my friends and one of my friends turned to me and said, "Kids in the future are so lucky. They're going to have so many good classic movies." I doubt that very much.

People say 1939 was the best year for movies. The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind both came out that year. But kids these days don't appreciate those movies because they're boring. Values and culture change as time progresses and sometimes we think that what's good now always was and always will be good. Another decade rolls along and we all look back and laugh at our trivial obsessions without realizing how ridiculously we're dressing, or how terrible our movies are.

And just so I can say "I told you so!", two movies that I think future generations will not understand are 300 and Alice in Wonderland.

Snowboarding

Going snowboarding isn't just about the snowboarding. It's about the experience of going to a mountain, somewhere we're not used to, and seeing fantastic images. Experiencing the cold, crisp air and feeling the snow. But it gets rough. The cold wind, the stiffness, the constriction of clothing. That's why you go with  friends. They get you through the rough spots together and make the goods parts even better.
