you know back in '82...
thursday night, chanda & i binged & were gonna see dodgeball but then she really wanted to watch napolean dynamite again...& it started 10 minutes earlier so we chose that instead...

she had flat out told me...there's no plot...i just found it so funny...(ps: it was ok i wouldn't necessarily recommend it though)

i sat there in my overly analytical mode...
& in my weird way i got a lot from the movie...

the most obvious but also the most important for me...was the uncle...he was a nobody that lived for his high school football days...1982....he would say "you know if in that game the coach put me in i'd be in pro football or college football & be making millions now" he even bought a "time machine" online to try to go back to 1982... the thing is...we all laughed at his dorkiness & stupidity...but you know what...it is the flat out obvious way of saying...hey MOVE ON....i told di about this...& i said something to the effect of yes it was beautiful then....yes it was perfect then....yes you felt like you were invincible & nothing could go wrong then....but you know what? it's no longer...it's over...& it needs to be accepted....

to those that know me know what i'm referring to in my own life...

& well the overall movie was about this guy that was sorta dorky & by the end of the movie not much was different...it was just about his life...he was a very simple guy that didn't try very hard...he was just himself & he was very good at being that..but he was happy...he, by being himself, made others around him happy...he bettered their lives in subtle ways just by being this guy that didn't care what others thought...he wasn't trying to make them happy..he just happened to...it was interesting....
