My blogging has been at an all time low. I have only one excuse for my poor behavior. Youth In Revolt. I am reading the popular book, turned movie written by the wondrous C.D Payne. I love his writing style and the characters he created. Nick Twisp/ Francois Dillinger are my new heroes. I watched the movie on Tuesday and liked the story line, so I figured that I would read the book. I did not predict that I would be this enthralled. What intrigued me was how the author would write the dialogue of two characters who are the same person. If you are not familiar with the plot, A meek Nick Twisp is a member of a trashy, bay-area family and goes on a vacation. Meanwhile, he meets the love of his life, Sheeni Saunders. They are separated and he has to 'be bad' in order to see Sheeni again. So does what any love-sick teenager would do and turns 'bad.' Now bookstores all across America are going to have copies of the novel flying off the shelves, with my marvelous review.
Lately, my days have gone like this: Wake up at 9, check out facebook, listen to ska until 1, watch two episodes of Family Guy, then read until 10, watch one hour of trashy reality TV, then read for another hour. Oh, and i occasionally eat a nectarine somewhere in there. Sounds stimulating, doesn't it?!
Well it is.
I came across this one fantastic video while surfing skanking facebook page. It is a cover of the ever popular single- Mad World. The band is a British ska- punk band called King Tuts Revenge. Enjoy folks
There you go. I'm going to go educate myself of the life of Nick Twisp.
As Mark Wahlburg would say, "Say hello to your mother for me."
