So, to take our minds off Mastofest 06, I went to see The Last Kiss last night. Many of you have seen Garden State which Zach Braff also wrote... and it was a pretty damn good movie. Well, Zach is growing up at much the same rate as we are... that is why his career is so compelling. Garden State was about post college confusion, and The Last Kiss is about commitment and the fear of it. It's no masterpiece. It has a lot of wasted characters and some melodrama that will alienate many men.

But, I am no regular man. I am a feeler. I like feelings, and anyone of you who have been around me drunk knows you're in for a big hug and some stammering, yet sincere, I love yous. So, I dug this movie for the reason that I (we) can relate to this state of our lives. To commit or not to commit? To spend the rest of your life with the one you love or remain free? We don't talk about it. When she asks, "What are you thinking- be honest." We don't say, "Well, I love you, but man there's a lot of tail out there!" And this movie does a nice job of exposing our everyday lies. The little things we prefer to just look over. Because what's the alternative?

Cheating.

Yep, cheating is the alternative. And we know the whole story before we ever get started. We know it will be one fun night that will mutate into a guilt-ridden malaise that we can't escape. Until you tell her, or she finds out. Both are wonderful options. It's like when someone asks, would you rather be set on fire by your eyelids or be eatin alive by house cats?

So, the girl (played by Jacinda from the Real World 3 or something) finds out. She ends it with him in a violent break up. Her rage is very authentic. And there our hero is left with nothing but the memory of his infidelity. Not a bad memory considerng his fellow adultress is wicked sexy and she is 19 and he is 29. She also gives a great performance. But, enough about the movie, back to life. The grass will always seem greener on the other girl. You can convince yourself so easily that a night with another woman will cure you of this wandering eye. It will not. It will always be there. So, I guess if you have someone that is with you unconditionally and everything is good, except every time you see a 19yr old skirt go by it drives you out of your head- that's ok. It's just pointless to chase it.


So, who jerked off last night? -booya7
