Review: The Simpsons Movie

Finally after 18 years it’s here.  The Simpsons movie was released Friday. I went in with low expectations  since I haven’t really enjoyed the  last couple seasons of the show very much.  But I was happily surprised, it was very funny.  They actually got in most of my favorite characters without making me feel like they were just saying “Okay, here is Comic Book Guy, okay here is Moe.”  Without giving anything away, the plot is basically Homer screws up real bad.  Then tries to fix it all.  But you don’t really go to The Simpsons Movie for plot now do we.

4 out of 5 stars

I’m quiting smoking. For reals this time. I’m tired of paying 100$ a month to stink and die.

I started smoking about 7 years ago.  I picked up the habit and really enjoy the way it makes me feel.  I was recently up to almost a pack a day. ($3.45 a pack. $3.45 * 30 = $103.50 a month)  Also, I found that foods don’t have the same flavors anymore, and smells are less potent.  The smell thing helped when I lived with a bunch of guys and we didn’t exactly put a high priority on house cleaning.  I now live with a wonderful and great smelling woman, and I would like to enjoy breathing her in without that tarry nicotine smell in my glorious ’stache.

I’m going through a lot of changes right now, call it growing up I guess, and I’m tired of things controlling me.  I understand I have to have a job to pay the bills, but I was getting to the point where I was doing things I didn’t really even want to do most of the day.  One of these things is smoking, I found myself getting up from working on this site or from playing guitar, or video games to go outside and have a smoke.  I thought to myself, “Why am I letting this thing that I pay money for and that is slowly making me sick control me?”  I didn’t have a good answer, all I could come up with was menthol = good.  I told the neuron receptors in my brain to shut up and snuffed out what I thought would be my last cigarette.  I was doing really well until I passed this guy in front of a local retail store smoking, and looking like he was really enjoying, a menthol cigarette.  My neuron receptors went crazy, I tried to fight it  but I broke down and bummed one off of him.  I smoked it, then I thought about it and it almost made me sick to my stomach.  I wanted to punch myself in the crotch for having done it.

I’ve done lots of hard stuff in my life, I’ve gotten up to like level 25 on jezzball, I’ve asked a girl WAY out of my league to marry me (she said yes), and I’ve dropped 30 pound in 2 months (not recently, back in HS).  This is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m cranky, moody, and a little hungry.  (I am however as sexy as ever).  Please digg this and comment with tips and words of support for me, I’m tired of paying 100$ a month to stick and die.
