I'll finally know how the story ends...

Like many of you out there, I love a good story. Whether it be in print, on the stage, or on the silver screen, a cracklin' yarn is something that puts joy on my face and a smile in my heart. The works of Leo Tolstoy, the films of Ingmar Bergman, the plays of Arthur Miller. I need a good story in order for my life to be complete.

Which is why I was truly upset about this particular story. First off, I must say that it held me in a hypnotic trance for the entire film. The class struggles and the inner workings of the characters were so compelling that they nearly brought me to tears. I'm talking of course, about the film "Step Up."

I wanted to know more however. What happened after Tyler went to the Maryland School of Arts and Nora goes off with that professional dance troupe. Instead of answers, I was left with many sleepless nights. Tyler...Nora...what has become of you.

But NOW I can relax. They've done it. They've answered my prayers. They've fulfilled my dreams. They've made "Step Up 2 Da Streets." Not only is it the most anticipated film in the history of cinema, it may in fact have the cleverest title ever recorded by man. I'm literally shaking with joy that I'll see what happened to the two greatest, star-crossed lovers since Romeo and Juliet.

Who knows how it will end up. I just know that I will be stepping up to see this film classic in the making, and I will STAND up and cheer!

I Want Answers!

Questions that have been on my mind:

At what point in life does it seem like a good idea to use "rolling" bags around a campus.  Heck even around town?  I see people with these from time to time around campus, and they are always the older students(ages 30-50).  I just don't get it.

Will the wristwatch become obsolete?  Think about it, people used to carry along pocket watches until the wristwatch came about and blew that sucker out of practicality.  Now, cellphones have entered the game, displaying the time on the screen.  At parties you hear "what time is it?" and automatically everyone dives into their pockets for their cellphones.  With the younger generation so reliant on cellphones, it wont be long till wristwatches are a thing of the past.

Is Heath Ledgers untimely death going to serve his career the justice he always wanted?  Why wouldn't it?  He is getting more recognition for this weird untimely death then anything.  With so many variables involved, (Mary-kate, masseuse, films in production) it means that this is going to be in the news for awhile; especially with The Dark Knight coming out this summer.  All this does is create more time for us to analyze this mans career, which certainly showed promise in his latest roles.  So will this man become immortalized in the likes of celebrities such as: Chris Farley, Kurt Cobain, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, 2pac and Biggie?
