we toss our failures at the earth

i did something incredibly stupid by watching The Pursuit of Happyness. twice i thought i was going to throw up because i just couldn't take all the emotion. there's a mantra that starts up about half way in; "please let something good happen. please let something good happen. please let something good happen."

that's a fantastic film. utterly and completely and you know what, Will Smith should have won the goddamn Oscar for that movie. but don't watch it if you aren't happy. it will make you kill yourself (or want to) through most of the film. it's just so very good. i'll probably write more about this when i feel less like taking a nap in a river.
