Oh as those starry skies // As they swiftly fall


Question: Can something really be too good? 'Shawshank' was on late/early a few mornings ago and it reminded me of hearing somebody declaring that 'Shawshank' was "played out and "just overrated". I mean is that not crazy? I mean this is probably subjective (though about as close to objective as art comes), but it got me to thinking that can something be too good or fit too well so as to cause almost a backlash or resistance against it?

Another thought from the paranoid cranium of patient Justin Bentley: If I live to be 66 years old (which I'm definatly shooting for and beyond, I'm still on the 'healthy eating' waggon, though at times dragging behind and holding grip for dear life, I don't smoke and I've only recently found myself socially drinking. If anything my head will come unravled, but I'm still banking on a good 65-70 years of fuel in the tank) and by mathematically assuming that I have and continue to sleep 8 hours a day I would be asleep for 22 years, aka my whole existance on Earth to this point. That is creepy. Like 'Driving-past-a-graveyard-at-night-and-seeing-only-illuminated,-colored-candles-lit-in-the-dark' creepy.

More questions:

~Why don't schoolbusses have seatbelts? Those things can fly and every wreck I've heard about that involved one seemed to have a collosual number of injuries

~If you are working the graveyard shift on daylight savings, do you get gyped out of that hour? Like do you work 9 but only get 8 on the punchcard?

Also in the 'Am I too old? (checks in mirror for distinguished grey in the mop)' category, would somebody please tell me who the following people/groups/things are:

~Dane Cook
~Mischa Barton
~The Pussycat Dolls
~The 'Cha-Cha' dance

I'm not mad about it, just completely baffled. Like Dane Cook. Heard about him from sea to shining sea. Seems to be in every 5th profile of friends I have in myspace. Never seen him in the flesh on the tv or anyplace before. Ever. 'I guess I just wasn't made for these times'.
