Emo Shmemo

I just reread the previous entries of this blog and realize that I am seriously going down the emo route. Lest it stops, I will soon be found on internet forums proclaiming the brllliance of Garden State.

I think the real problem here is a kind of emotional malaise that permeats my life. I just don't care about anything. Dealing with problems becomes an exercise in perpetual numbness while I sit and wallow and try to mellow at the same time. Where is that spitfire?

Despite the vast overratedness of Garden State, I can't help but acknowledge the emotional numbness it manages to instill. While that may sound like a bad thing, what I'm trying to say is that Garden State illustrates that sinking malaise when you just don't know what you what. However, the movie thinks everything can be all cured when you meet that perfectly quirky, geek-fantasy girl, which is wholly unrealistic and plain annoying.

I tend to be more negative when writing than in real life. Perhaps this stems from my interest in probing the dark neuroses of my conscious or maybe I'm going for the "tortured artiste," which never quite goes out of vogue.

Anyways, resolution for the month of May: Be more positive!
