Friday Motivation
It is a verrrrrrrrrrrry slow Friday and I think I have reached the end of the internet (at least with safe search on). I stumbled upon some inspiring words and thought I would pass them on. Here is Bill Murray's speech from the movie Rushmore:
"You guys have it real easy. I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here. Because the fact is, whether you deserve it or not; you go to one of the best schools in this country, Rushmore. You lucked out. Now for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the cross-hairs. And take them down."

Great movie.
Love that quote. Also love the exchange between Max and Luke Wilson -
Max: "I like your nurse's uniform, guy."
Luke Wilson: "These are O.R. scrubs."
Max: "O, R they?"
and the giggle from Bill Murray.
And when Max says to his buddy:
"Tell that stupid Mick he just made my list of things to do today" about the Irish kid who had been harrassing him.

"So, how do you know Miss Cross?"
"We went to Harvard together."
"Oh, great. I wrote and directed a hit play, so I'm not exactly sweating it either."
I actually saw a free sneak preview of that movie in an auditorium on the Michigan campus. It was introduced to us by this weird little dude named Jason Schwartman. Funny to think back on that 10 years later, now that he's been in every other Wes Anderson film since, plus plenty of others.
Anyway, rts, if it's a slow day, you know what you'll never, ever get to the end of? Wikipedia, baby. Just go over there, plug in "R.E.M." or something, start clicking on links to other articles, and two hours later you'll be reading about 17th century Sino-Indian political alliances and say to yourself "How the hell did I get here? Where the f did I even start all this?"

MCA (I used your real name hence the delete), that is a great game. Let me let you in on a secret, it all ends with dead porn stars.

Hi, Mr. Blume.
Mr. Blume stands there in silence.
MR. BLUME
You wanted to meet?
MAX
When?
MR. BLUME
Right now. You said you wanted to meet to put an end to this nonsense.
MAX
Oh. Yeah. I was going to try and have that oak tree fall on you.
Max jerks him thumb over his shoulder. Mr. Blume looks at a massive oak tree hanging precariously by the roots.
MR. BLUME
That big one? That would have really pancaked me.
