High School Never Ends

We're all rockin' the Chuck Taylors!

I could go on about how awesome that song is from Bowling For Soup , but we'll not focus on Jack Black being the clown, Brad Pitt being the quarterback, etc.

Kind of ironic, considering I don't go there anymore..

Last night was great. It was a end to four years of high school. End of being a real kid. End of not having a lot of responsibilities. It was a step up into the real world. Onto college. Onto jobs, and real relationships that can end up in marriage.

BCHS' graduation went well. My friends walked across the stage, received their diploma, and threw those awkward frisbee hats high in the air.

My best friend right after graduation. Really proud of this guy! 

And then rest of my night went pretty well. Went and saw Kung Fu Panda 2 after the graduation.

My awesome sister and me waiting for Kung Fu Panda 2. 

Now for the lengthy part of this post: 

Kung Fu Panda 2 was great. I was never totally into the first one, but this one I liked better. It just seemed more on top of its game with the story, jokes and overall visuals of the film. This one still has those classic fat panda jokes Pho makes about himself, but also with some really solid comedy that's fresh. And I must say, the film visually is stunning. The opening scene was great, but a little slow. They open the film with chinese paper puppetry setting up the plot in the form of a backstory. The angles they used were definitely creative as well. With a shot looking directly down over a village as the Furious Five make an escape, they use the alleyways of the town to resemble somewhat of a Pac-Man maze. 

On top of the creative angles, the pure beauty they created resembling China and its culture was beautiful. Wide shots of lush green valleys with a misty sky. The buildings with intensely detailed carvings, it's all just very well done.

Overall there really wasn't much that was bad about the film except the beginning was a little slow to start things off. Other than that, it's a fun film. Definitely one of summer's better films so far. 

I Wipe Myself Clean of This Mess..

seriously guys? That's the best you can do? I can say I'm disappointed..I was hopefully expecting more than just TPing all over the school. Sure, it's classic, but get original! Hit home. You had one shot at this, and struck out swinging. Should have put soap on the lawn. Planted flowers on the football field (naturally, in your rivals colors, or logo).



If you haven't noticed, I'm sadly disappointed in my senior friends at BCHS. As a guy that got away with a lot of relatively decent pranks, from selling fake elevator passes to the freshman, gaining them access to the exclusive 'seniors only' rooftop pool, to buying the detention teacher a Pizookie from BJ's to get out of my detention, I was hoping they could outdo themselves. But no, all they did was TP the school.

Here's hoping this year's juniors, next year's seniors can out do this. It's not going to be too hard.
