My Philosophy
Sick Boy: It's certainly a phenomenon in all walks of life.
Renton: What do you mean?
Sick Boy: Well, at one time, you've got it, and then you lose it, and it's gone forever. All walks of life: George Best, for example. Had it, lost it. Or David Bowie, or Lou Reed...
Renton: Some of his solo stuff's not bad.
Sick Boy: No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite.
Renton: So who else?
Sick Boy: Charlie Nicholas, David Niven, Malcolm McLaren, Elvis Presley...
Renton: OK, OK, so what's the point you're trying to make?
Sick Boy: All I'm trying to do is help you understand that The Name of The Rose is merely a blip on an otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory.
Renton: What about The Untouchables?
Sick Boy: I don't rate that at all.
Renton: Despite the Academy Award?
Sick Boy: That means fuck all. The sympathy vote.
Renton: Right. So we all get old and then we can't hack it anymore. Is that it?
Sick Boy: Yeah.
Renton: That's your theory?
Sick Boy: Yeah. Beautifully fucking illustrated.
Easily my favorite part of one of my favorite movies. Such a great scene, with Primal Scream's Trainspotting playing in the background. I used to use this snippet of dialogue as a bumper on my college radio show all the time. So best. And good call Bob.
If anyone else but Kobe was invloved in this, you'd probably call bullshit. But Kobe is invloved and somehow I bet it's true.
Shaq has 50g's with Damon Jones name on it if he wins the 3 point shooting contest on All Star Weekend.
Damn you Rebecca Gates for doing a three city tour and not including DC! You play frigging Baltimore, but not the Capitol? WTF? [thanks to Coolfer for the heads up]
The Big Ticket is putting together a helacious MP3 mix, one track and one post at a time.
So very best. I'm about to try this thing out. [via Slatch]
The company holiday party was off the heezy. I lost countof how many G&T's I consumed. To my knowledge, I didn't make a fool of myself. When it got to the prize giveaway portion of the evening, I won $100 Borders Gift Card. Holla! I am putting together a shopping list as we speak, I know this will definitely be on there and I'm thinking so will this, but the rest is still up in the air.
Saturday I spent recovering from the night before and staying up late and watching the Celtics beat the Sonics for the second time this season.
Sunday I bought a used 1200 so now I have 2 turntables. Now all I need is a mixer and I'm good to g-o.
