Four Stories of my Friend


I have a friend who gave me four fairly entertaining stories.  Today, I am going to share these stories with you.  They are coming of age stories about a man who is beginning to deal with becoming a man.  I wouldn’t share these stories if they completely sucked so at least I think they’re good enough to share.  Ready for the ride?  Let’s go.

This friend was walking to school one day.  He takes the city bus so it was just a walk from the bus stop to the school.  While he was walking up the street he saw two attractive girls.  Like any straight male would, he took a good look of the women.  While scanning his view back up to their faces he could see that they were laughing at him.  Then they walked past.  He wondered why they were laughing at him until he noticed his fly was open and his penis was talking.  It wasn’t out but if someone were to look, they’d be able to see it trying to jump out of his pants.

Another story of walking involved him going from school to his dad’s work.  I don’t even know how this happened and if it didn’t, it’s still a funny story.  As he was walking he sees an attractive girl.  Why not talk to her, he thinks, so he goes to start chatting her up.  They’re having a solid conversation and he asks her out.  Why not, right?  Her response was to ask what he had on him.  He wonders why and responds that he has his school supplies, a bus pass, etc.  She asks about money.  This whole time, she was a prostitute trying to get a quick job.  This was probably my favourite of all of his awkward stories.

Right across the street from our high school was a movie store.  I would go there once in a while, pick something up.  I’ve gotten Saving Private Ryan, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and There Will Be Blood from that place.  One day, me and this friend went to the movie store and we were looking around.  That’s when we saw a movie called Pirates.  We checked the case out.  It seemed like a movie about a bunch of pirates, and it had a lot of women in it.  My friend bought the movie.  The next day he comes to school and says it was a lot more sexual than either of us were thinking it would be.  And he brought the movie to school to share it.  I’ve still never seen the movie but I’m sure this friend enjoyed it.

Final story.  The friend turned 19 and decided to go to the strip club for his 19th birthday.  He could drink now, and why not spend some time watching women take their clothes off.  The next day, he came into school with crutched and a bandage around his leg.  Nobody knew what had happened until someone asked.  He went to the strip club.  He got drunk and watched women dance around.  When he left, he did the responsible thing and took the bus home.  And then when he was getting off of the bus, he tripped on the curb, got his foot stuck in the door of the bus, and sprained his ankle.  That was one of the best sprained ankle stories I had heard.  Much better then when my brother pushed me off of a front porch railing.

That’s my friend, and those are four of his stories.  I enjoy thinking about them.  I’m not sure I relayed them so well but just imagine being told by the friend.  It was always funny to hear stuff like this happening to him.

First Time Watches: March 2019

Image
I’ve been writing these first-time watch posts for a long time. They are a chronicle, month by month, of the movies that are new to me. They could be theatrical releases or they could be older movies that I’m finally getting around to. Either way, they’re fresh to my eyes, never having gone through them before. With that comes pleasant surprise, a great experience, disappointment, or frustration. There could be many more emotions as well. These posts share my emotions from having watched the movies with whoever decides to read them. I fell behind on these posts a long time ago and have been trying to work my way through them to eventually catch up. This post will cover March 2019 and the movies I saw for the first time over the course of that month. Any rewatches will not be a part of this post. If they aren’t first time watches, they don’t count. March was a month full of all kinds of movies. There were good and bad, like usual, and a variety of genres, also like usual. Th...

Is "Real Steel" Like "Over the Top"?

When I was going through my weekly movie binge a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon two movies that I had never seen before that tackled a very similar story.   It was an odd thing to have happen because I didn’t know of any similarities between the two movies.   The first was Real Steel, a movie about a man who participates in robot boxing while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   The second was Over the Top, a movie about a man who participates in arm wrestling while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   Similar?   I think so. Let’s begin with Real Steel.   I watched this one because, why the hell not?   I quite enjoyed the movie and by the end I was rooting for Hugh Jackman’s character to help his robot, Atom, to a victory.   The thing to point out about Real Steel is how good the visual effects were.   I wasn’t expecting too much going in, but I thought they masterfully crafted each robot in a way that...

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 8: The Power Stealer

Image
Last time we sat down with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Tommy was going through some serious stuff.   His powers were running low because Lord Zedd was targeting him.   He felt hopeless.   His friends were comforting him.   There was also a Robo Goat trying to take a powerful sword and use it against the Earth.   There were fights all over the place and an emotional hook that was unmatched in any episode that wasn’t in a multi-part arc. This episode, there might be follow-up to the Tommy storyline.   It would be nice to see more of the struggle with his powers.   Right now, that’s the one throughline that has been playing out.   II hope this episode continues to have some sort of meaning to the overall story, instead of being a self-contained and meaningless.   The show needs to grow and evolve, with a storyline that builds to something significant.   Having episodes that keep the story at a standstill is boring.   ...
