Last night I had a date night with my girlfriend, Jacquelynn, Jax for short.. Our date nights consist of us staying in, getting on skype, and talking to each other while watching a movie and/or tv show, playing some games, talking, and/or other stuff. It's a good time. I greatly enjoy our date night because they seem special compared to what we do most nights. Even if it still all revolves around skype. Last night, Jax picked the movie, as she generally does. (She is a bit more picky than I am. I pick every once in a random blue moon maybe.) She picked Repo - The Genetic Opera. She had heard many great things about it, plus it was about to go off of netflix instant streaming. (trying to be spoiler free) So, "roll film".
I am greatly disappointed in this movie. I really didn't like it at all. I think the concept of the film was interesting. I heard one person say that they tried to focus on too many things with genetics, drug addiction, and organ trafficking. While 90 minutes is a bit short to try to do all this, that didn't really seem to be the problem with me. I feel the author was showing the destruction of two family with a similar dark past. These are all important elements that play into their demise. The big thing for me was the dialogue. Spoken it was alright. Nothing special. But the songs were terrible. Most of the songs seemed to just be regular conversations that were now sung and maybe repeated a bit more. That bothers me. I'm not an expert on musicals at all, but, when a conversation is turned into a song, it shouldn't feel like a conversation with music laid behind it. You can take some liberties, make it more interesting, have more emotion behind it.
Speaking of emotion, I had none from this movie. I am an emotional guy...I cry a good bit. Things make me sad. I couldn't really connect with anyone in this movie, none of their plights mattered to me. They just seemed to make bad decisions for NO reason at all. I'm not talking about bad horror movie type decisions where you know you would never walk up to the creepy crying child in a back alley. Not that kind of bad. bad where you just don't understand why they just did that. A girl runs away from an offered cure to her sickness to then run back to get the cure...What? The singing didn't help. There were a few powerful notes in the play. Most moments where they could have them just fell flat. It made me sad...Well, actually it made me feel nothing. Which made me sad. The one character that made me feel was a grave robber who was barely in the film.
I am also still not entirely sure what the point of the movie was. Some people died and those people had a shared past of anger and hatred. But...there just didn't seem to really be a real reason for why things happened. The catalyst was uninviting, or at least ill explained. The scenes they were trying to explain things were just random and mostly unhelpful.
All in all, a pretty bad movie. I am glad I watched it though. Which may seem weird. I like movies. And I have seen worse

Miss Glass
What's up internet. One of my favorite online "personalities" uses that a lot. Jack Pattillo from Achievement Hunter/ Roosterteeth. I love them. Click!
Anyway, onto the real reason that I decided to post a blog post today. And just to let everyone know, this is going to be a post about my girlfriend. So it will probably be pretty sappy. So if you don't want that, don't read past....NOW. No, NOW! I am having fun at least.
I have been dating Jacquelynn for seven months. Seven months. That is really nothing at all if you think about it. Especially in the, hopefully, years that I will be spending with her. BUT it is still a pretty decent amount of time to be with someone. It's crazy how much you can experience in seven months. And all that experience has made me love her so much more. She is pretty perfect for me. I can't think of anyone else that I would want to be with. I don't just mean people I know. I am talking about in my imagination as well. I can't think of a single damn thing I would change about her. Don't get me wrong, there are time when some of the traits about her annoy me. BUT they are also some of my most beloved things about her. I couldn't dream of anything better.
Side note, if my words suck or start to suck horribly. I am a little tired. My brain doesn't want to function correctly. Also, I haven't eaten today...But don't tell her. She will be mad at me. I will get food soon though. I only work until one.
Speaking of that gorgeous girlfriend of mine, who is currently texting me during her break, she is coming to North Carolina soon. I can't tell you how excited I am. I have only spent a week in person whith her so far. And it neeeeeds to be more. Novermber 17th can't get here fast enough. We don't really have that many plans, seeing as our last trip was so action packed, we are trying to make this one more relaxed. And not as expensive. Lots of laying around, lots of netflix and video games, and nothing too crazy. We do have a few things that we need to do, however. First of all, she needs to meet some Boone people. My roommates, Josh and David, are musts. She also has to meet Jay. The rest are really just bonuses. JC, Zach, Jeremy, Broyhill people. They would be cool, but they aren't necessary. Then there are the very important Kernersville people. Of my family she needs to meet My brother, father, mother, and grandmother. She was at one time going to meet almost my entire family at Thanksgiving, but plans have changed. So now just those 4. Also in Kernersville, Matt & Lulu, Sam, Ryan & Kayleigh. Those are the important people. There are some extras that would be nice. Walter & Lucky, any other member of my family. They would be nice. But it is not needed.
Speaking of people in K-Vegas. Jessica lives there. Being Thanksgiving and all, she is likely to be home. What if we run into her? How crazy would that be. I haven't seen her any of the times I have been home, but it is possible. I would to know how she would react though. Hmm.
The last thing that we HAVE to do while she is home, is Thanksgiving dinner. For the first time ever, my family is doing it's own Thanksgiving. My extended family usually has it as a whole, and still are I believe. This year, it is just going to be five people. Jacquelynn is very happy about this change. She was very nervous about the dinner. NOW everything is going to be much better. We are going to have about 9 pies I think. It is going to be tasty.
Honestly I don't really know what else to write. So, in closing, I love my girlfriend, Jacquelynn Glass, with all my heart. I am so happy to be dating her. I can't wait for the many more blissful moths, years, decades, that I will have with her. November is close. Yay!
