............It's hard to make a new title using only words from provided movies I've viewed recently. Yeah yeah, these movie blogs will never go away unless I just stop going to the movies altogether. Perhaps then I'll be able to focus more on typing up past life experiences and finally que you all in on the mischevious days of Mutton the Man. Some of youse may have been waiting in anticipation after glancing at the last blog... well, maybe one of you at the very least. But honestly, even after viewing these five movies (actually six, but couldn't work the film's title in my blog's subject... err, title), I'm not sure what to say. Maybe I need to just type and type, see where this blog will take me. Who knows? Something potentially intriguing could leak, and it would no longer be just a rant or rave of opinions on movies.

Why bother doing this? Posting personal adventures and thoughts, that is. Because it certainly makes up for those vague, "Oh, I'm fine" responses people love to leave on their friend's page, followed by useless comments that are on-par with text messages. Yeah yeah, I type the same crappy responses too, sue me... but if thou art lucky enough to stumble upon these blogs, you'll be like, "This shit just got serious!" Besides, it's a lotta info to hand over to just one person. While informing someone of my journey's and knowing that there is another (or two) asking the same question, I'd have exhausted my comment posting duties and feel it's redundant. Maybe I'm just irate about repetition when I shouldn't be. Just 'cause I've informed one individual doesn't mean I should withhold informing another just because I feel lazy about repeating the same adventure. I'm weird like that. And that's not fair; one person knows something while the rest will be left in the blue. Maybe it's a selective identity? Kinda like, I'm acting differently towards other people. Nah, that's pushing it. I'm just lazy and waiting for the right time to indulge more journeys and other non-movie thoughts.

Besides, movie-going adventures and the rare profile updates seem to not properly inform anyone who was curious. It's not that I was busy with life 'n shit, I just felt they weren't interesting enough to even mention in the beginning.

There was a bonfire in front of my resident hall dorm place of living some nights ago (Thursday). "Umm, go Lobos, I guess," were my thoughts. Game was last night. I only attended because I got a free ticket. I'm not much for school spirit, but I think some other individuals would tell you otherwise judging from my actions back in high school. Well, I was in the school band, played trumpet which was more triumphant than the rest of the instruments (no offense), and somehow school spirit crept up on me, telling me that non-conformity was a load to hooey. I then chucked my unique individuality off to the side, and forced myself to actually cheer for our loser school team. My God, were they losers... you have no idea how much money I've lost betting on them. Who'd wanna bet on a high school football game in the first place? Someone who was bored once that school spirit subsided. I think my total losses were around 5 bucks... maybe 10. May not appear to be much, but back in the days of $1.34 gas prices, that was equivalent to 20 bucks. Speaking of band, the band from NMSU performed quite well. Grand sound that was well heard. UNM band, on the other hand, had a very thin sound. Maybe NMSU had a bigger band, or they were more spread apart as opposed to the close proximity of UNM's band members.

Did I place a bet on the Lobos? Feh! You think I'm stupid after enduring countless losses betted on the Scouts? Well... actually, yeah. I bet the Lobos would win, but they didn't. Losers, I tell ya... LOSERS! And how much it reminded me of the blandness bestowed upon the WR Scouts. But that's unfair and offensive. I guess like most compulsive gamblers, we bet just to make the game a tad more interesting. I wonder how many people in the stands made bets. I'm sure not very many. Everyone displayed some kind of faith in their home team, for better or worse. I think I may develop a gambling problem; it shall be my new habit after cigarettes kicked the bucket one year back. Or, it would've been, but a relapse came and went. I know, I know... some of you may be shocked and currently wondering if the Mutton Man will crawl back to cigarettes after smoking a few over last weekend and subsequent work days. (I'll cue you in on why that came to be when I feel it's appropriate.) But I'm-a quit... yet, how did my last smoke-less duration flourish for that long? Back then, I quit cold turkey but it was unintentional. I just went along with it to the point where I realized I haven't smoke in [this many] days. It would be problematic this time around; I think the problem is stating outloud to the world (of friends) that I'm-a quit; no one has faith or maintain a worrysome facade suggesting that I might fail this second time around. One year, one month, and three weeks was an amazing feat, and I am kinda bummed that I caved back into the habit just so recently. One friend maintains a level of faith that somehow seems reassuring... it's pressuring, sure, but I'd hate to see this wave of disappointment overrule her level of faith. It's always reassuring knowing people care.

Well, the campus here has become somewhat smoke-free but kids (and yes, I was one of 'em) were/are guilty of parading around school grounds with a cancerous stick dangling off the sides of their mouths or stubby fingers. This ban hasn't been properly observed and I feel it was a waste to think, "Oh wow, the campus is smoke-free, so I won't be caving in anytime soon." Sure, there are like two designated smoking areas (the whereabouts of the second is a mystery to me) but just back then, I wouldn't have even dared to grab a cigarette. No, I'm not laying blame on the campus' level of unprofessionalism... the blame lays in me. Maybe I should change that description on my profile where it asks smoke/drink (change from "no" to "yes"). There shan't be any shame in that, should there? But ever since declaring to the world that I was smoke-free for this long, I feel like I should wear a bag over my head. One class introduction involved saying my name, major, and something unique. Of all unique things about me, I opted to declare "I haven't had a smoke in over a year." Some students had this express that suggested some kind of approval. Heh, one person even clapped. But deep in the back of my head, I wondered if I had jinxed myself... it's like I could sense that I will eventually relapse. Like a voice saying, "Soon..." but I didn't pay attention.

There's always a reason for a relapse. Some of youse might get a slight indication of what that reason may be, so for now, I'll leave it up to your little minds. Hopefully I'll follow-up on this. But that don't mean it'll be in the next blog. Still got a slew of movies to complain about, and gotta post some thoughts on tonight's series premiere of The Simpsons (maybe those other shows as well), not to mention the adventures through Denver and other parts of Colorado, and other random events I might encounter, or already have encountered.
