Things I like
-When someone shows up to class twice as stoned as you are and you are no longer the most fucked up kid in the room. especially when the teacher calls on them a lot and they always answer '.......wait, what was the question?'
-They way a girl says 'mhm' when you tell her she's about to get a shot in the mouth.
-when a girl leaves promptly in the morning after spending the night and you get like 2 more hours of sleep in an empty bed.
-being drunk enough that you don't mind walking home because there is always some sort of miscieviousness to get into.
-Wearing a button down shirt on a night you get black out then finding stuff in the breast pocket the next morning like cash or a girls #
-Directly contradicting extremely stupid people
-Directly contradicting extremely religious people
-Directly contradicting extremely political people
-Marathons on tv where they play sequels back to back
Things I don't like
-Anerobic Exercise or maybe Aerobic i cant remember which, the one that involves running
-Girls with chapped lips
-Girls who think they are hot because they are the only reasonable piece of ass at a party.
-Hanging out with, or even seeing, a drunken mistake when you're sober and having flashbacks that you had hoped were buried deep in your blackout subconcious
-Complicated bras and outfits, it honestly makes me avoid girls with too many buttons.
-When sober people disregard what you're saying because they think you're rambling drunk. I give great advice wasted.
-Drunk people who don't want you to drive because they think you're as drunk as they are.

Transformers discussion
Transformers is the type of movie that really hit it's stride in telling a story. Transforming robots is a tough theme to fill 2.5 hours, so why is this the quickest 2 and a half hours ever? I think it has something to do with the rapid fire style of storytelling combined with 3 sets of really likable characters.
#1- Shia and the hot chick. The reason this works is because the director happened to get Shia right in his prime, before we got tired of him. so Shia- good. hot chick-is a wicked hot chick. nothing wrong with that. These two are a good combo because Shia has enough jokes especially about or involving the hot chick. classic.
#2- the army guy and his unit (hehe unit). Good combo here too. Army guy has a cute family which is barely introduced but draws in the sympathy vote. The group of army guys has some classic jokes while also providing a manly band of brothers type situation.
#3- hot scientist lady and the nerds. Nerds can go either way in a movie, they can be hysterical ala porkey's, revenge of the nerds, goonies, ben affleck, superbad and i think micheal bay knows this. so who does he get to be his main nerd? Anthony fucking Anderson. Brilliant.
Now here's the best part of this movie, any of these story lines could have fllled an entire 2 hour movie with maybe some filler. Instead we take all three story lines and mix them together with giant transforming alien robots. Even if you dont one set of these characters, you're bound to like at least 2 of them. and even if you dont, there is still the piece de resistance; the robots. They are what make the movie unique. They could have really gone either way. If the robots had bad dialouge and done lame shit, this movie would have sucked big time. Bay uses the fact that people were going to be very skeptical about how the robots look and act by building up a suspense to see them. He knows we spent 10$ to see his robots yet he waits to introduce them. Besides the first few scenes with the decepticons and a few quick shots of bumblebee, we dont get to see the robots up close and personal until an hour and 15 minutes into the movie. thats half way into the flick! It's brilliant because we're desperate to see them at that point, yet he satisfies the craving and then some with a full hour of pure robot action. The build up to seeing the robots really builds an attachment so that when you finally do see them, its amazing. For annisquam 2 we can use this same element with the ghost pirates. Not only can we use suspense for comedic effect, but we can also use it to get people drawn into the ghost pirates. We could use a signs type approach of just a few quick glances and sounds off our creatures. Transformers shows us that action/adventure can still be hilarious and in some ways much more comedicly satisfying than the garden variety comedy where you expect to laugh.

and if you dont know....
-Building a robot with a personality to do all your work so you can sit around all day only the robot ends up following your example and becomes extremely lazy and starts smoking weed all day. Ends up moving out and becoming a drug dealer.
-Watching a drug bust out my window, smoking bowls. Honestly, what were these guys thinking driving a sketchy white van with no windows in the back while mexican. Guess they can change the name of the restaurant to the 'harboring house'. that van just screams illegal immigrant.
-Chinese food restaurant that advertises it's other companies through subliminal fortune cookies, 'new rugs are in your future', 'window cleaning sale benefits you today', or even just straight up ransom. ' bring 50 dollars to back alley for antidote to kung pow chicken'
-Getting at some of that rich old oil tycoon money by remarrying the chicks who just married them for their money.
-pills for restless leg syndrome, side effects may include drowziness, unexplained nausea, diarrea, increased sexual and gambling urges. and thats a cure?
-network execs moved too quick turning the geico cavemen into a show. i'd rather see a show about real vicious cavemen that run around our society unchecked and roam in packs attacking at random stealing babies and eating puppies, but at the same time live in our system and but car insurance.
-calling someone and whispering '7 days' and then stealing their remote and turning their tv on and off so they think the little girl from the ring is after them.
-hooking up with the girl who works at staples by telling her you'll push her easy button.
-trying to date a girl who's big into coke but only snorting sweet n low. sugar highs and lows end up making you just as jittery so the girl ends up thinking your hardcore,
-dating a girl who actually has an aunt named flo who is always showing up and being a cock blocking lesbian bitch.
-'to the tune of kanye's champion' Do you realize? that you're socks are made by champion?
-guy bungee jumping with a tortilla chip just like in the tostitos ad, but when he gets all the way to the bottom the chip breaks off in the salsa.
-Copying the scene in the departed where Frenchy? and another guy are talking about how anyone who's not paying attention to them must be a cop only instead every girl who doesnt pay attention must be a lesbian.
-what if you could learn a text book by smoking the pages?
-DJ Vito, italian mc at the harbor house (real person)

Things I like (written while sleeping in Psych class)

-Hot chicks who like me- wink, staring contest, light graze, the thrill of the hunt- it's really what makes life interesting and worthwhile
-Beer in a bottle
-Ice water
-My iPhone that I got for $400 instead of $600
