you've got a friend

today i feel: pretty good
today i'm hearing: page france -- jesus
today i'm thinking: let's move on

I'm back in Carbohnduhlay. That's pretty cool. I'm looking forward to classes tomorrow. It'll be nice to have something to do, a reason to get my ass out of bed, etc. The past month has been entirely too boring for my taste. But now there are things to learn! And auditions! And SEASON FIVE OF THE WIRE!

I don't know if all of you are aware of this (you might be; who knows), but I am a fan of HBO's ground-breaking series, The Wire. It is so choice. It centres around drug/gang/homicide investigations in West Baltimore. For those of you who don't know, West Baltimore is pretty much the scariest fucking place on earth. Excluding Detroit. Detroit's pretty scary, too. But Detroit doesn't have its on HBO series, so we'll say, for simplicity's sake, that West Baltimore is the scariest fucking place on earth. However, it also includes some of the awesomest 'bad guys' around.

These include:
1. Avon Barksdale -- the hottest drug lord you could ever hope to meet. No. Seriously. Check it:

Come on. Check those pecks. You would do him. You would do him nine times


2. Brother Mouzone -- a Nation member, a self-designed gun, fancy bow ties and a whole lot of kick-assery.

3. Bodie -- a drug dealer with a heart of gold. ...or a chest full of lead. one of the two.

4. Snoop -- played by a real-life murderer! chicks are badass again.

And, my personal favourite, 5. Omar -- a gay Robin Hood. except with drugs. and a sawed-off shotgun.


Oh. And there are cops. They're pretty cool, too.

Anyway, season five has now begun, and my nerdy ass is psyched to say the least. I've watched most of the first season, just to give myself a little bit of background/review (we're finishing the season sometime today). Then, at eight o'clock CST, there's another new episode from the good ol' fifth season.

This alone is cause for celebration. Especially because the school gives us a free HBO subscription. Sweet Jesus, yes.

Yes, this post was made specifically for my nerdiness. You probably just wasted ten minutes of your life. HA!
