Sentences of the Month
When I found my friends, two hours and $55 wisely spent dollars later, they were out in the parking lot eating sloppy joe's they bought from a guy selling them out of the back of his Chevette.
I hate having smart friends.
These two made me laugh when i read them because I can relate to both of them.

The Movie
Last weekend I downloaded the movie, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. I was going to wait till after I finished reading the book to watch it, but I couldn't resist. When downloading the movie I was thinking to myself, this movie isn't going to be nearly as good as the book... One hundred and five minutes later I was impressed.
For those who don’t know, Tucker Max is a Duke Law School Graduate who had so many stories about drunken escapades and random crazy nights with friends and females that he decided to start a website with his stories. These stories are vulgar, offensive, politically incorrect, and absolutely hilarious. Not surprisingly, once somebody reads his stories, they forward a few to their friends, who then forward it to their friends, and so on. I started following Tucker Max's stories about a month back and i can't get enough. The guy is an absolute riot and writes with such humor and passion that it’s almost impossible not to laugh out loud.
The movie was pretty good; it’s not going to win any Oscars, but it was better than expected and I laughed pretty much the entire time.
