Facing Up

(from November 1, 2006)

There comes a time in every man's life when he has to face up to certain decisions he has made and views of the world he has crafted for himself. I faced one such experience last night. See, I have been known to be a little...well, harsh...at times for things I don't like, whether we're talking popped collars, radio playlists, SUV's, or places where you can't left turn yield on green. Well I would say you could add corny ass actor duos like the Wayans brothers to that list, until I was conned into watching "White Chicks"...and laughed, out loud, at LEAST 10 times. I'll admit it. Triple T-K-A, B-F and all those other acronyms had me rollin'.

It was like watching a game where you can just see the hopes of your squad slip, slipping away with each first down given up. With each additional laugh, I could feel it getting further and further out of my grasp, until that tenth one, when I realized that my set-in-stone world view was forever lost...and I have to give all silly comedies, and all corny actor duos, a fair shake. I'm telling you, it was intense. =)
