I think its time to put the top down

Just saw Clerks II. It was okay, something weird going on in it though. It wasn't nearly as funny as the original obviously. Granted it was funny, but Clerks is its own unique kind of funny, yeah that sounds dumb but that's how it is. Anyway, I've always felt Smith was really good at emotional stuff (Chasing Amy is his best movie, deal with it, Dogma is a close second). And this one had that but it felt forced, like he had this crazy funny self-aware sequel but he felt that since he's older he needs to make it mean something. That kind of thinking is fine by me, if it's organic. Why couldn't he just make a ridiculous clerks movie? I guess it would be pretty lame of him to make a movie that would only amuse him and a few of his friends (take that me). In all seriousness, the emotional stuff didn't work. And I say that as a kevin smith fan who likes the emotional stuff.

Anyway, that's all I'm going to say about that. I have a headache and we're going to start this movie soon, gotta get my shit together.

All I have left is a song...

your hand on his arm
the hay stack charm around your neck
strung out and thin
calling some friend trying to cash some check
he's acting dumb
that's what you've come to expect
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
he's wearing your clothes
head down to toes a reaction to you
you say you know what he did
but you idiot kid
you don't have a clue
sometimes they just get caught in the eye
you're pulling him through
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
now on the bus
nearly touching this dirty retreat
falling out 6th and powell a dead sweat in my teeth
gonna walk walk walk
four more blocks plus the one in my brain
down downstairs to the man
he's gonna make it all OK
i can't beat myself
i can't beat myself
and i don't want to talk
i'm taking the cure so i can be quiet
wherever i want
so leave me alone
you ought to be proud that i'm getting good marks
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
