A couple days ago, one of my friends told me he'd had an epiphany about the nature of my writing, juxtaposed to the ambiguous ending of Up In The Air. I really, really liked that movie, so I decided to take it as a complement, but what he said was, "It always feels like it's just a piece of a larger story." - this is generally the idea, so I'm glad he caught on, even if he says my ambiguous ending bug him sometimes. I've always got more than I can put to paper, so I focus on the most interesting part of a story that's taken years to set itself up and hope that my exposition is enough to fill in the rest.
And here's a youtube video to make this post worthwhile. I loved Something Corporate for most of middle school and high school - unfortunately they've broken up and turned into Jack's Mannequin now, which I like equally but haven't bought their CDs. Um. This obsession was back when I was listening to groups before any of my friends - SoCo, Guster, Dashboard Confessional, I was into them before most of my peers thought they were cool. Of course, now I work in the opposite direction and pick things up two or three years after they were popular... (Death Cab for Cutie, the Decemberists...)
I'm gonna stop. Have a video.
Peace.
