My Marxist interpretation of One Crazy Summer, by Johnny T

To make this really uninteresting, my interpretation can be made for a whole category of film I call the "Hard Work" category; One Crazy Summer is just a good example. Basically, the "Hard Work" category of film can be boiled down to this plot summery: underdog works hard and beats the odds. You know the story, you've seen it a million times. Some poor sap who has no hope gets inspired by some goal. The goal usually involves a combination of things: a girl, beating the pants off some spoiled rotten brat, and getting a monetary prize. But the only way to reach this goal is through lots of hard work. So the movies always have a work scene where there is some upbeat music and lots of scenes of team work, ingenuity and some good old fashioned American elbow greese. Then, by skin of their teeth, they reach the goal, even though the rich kid cheated and almost won.

So, now for the Marxist interpretation. Really, it is quite obvious once you put it in context of the Base creating the Superstucture (and if you aren't familiar with Marxism this may not mean anything to you). The "Hard Work" category of film inspires the audience to do just that: work hard. Hard work will pay off, we are told. Put your nose to the grind stone, we are admonished. If you want it bad enough, you will work your tail feathers off.

There were many movies in the 80s that fall in this category, even T.V. series like "The A Team" and "Macgyver". Interesting that during the Reagan administration this "Hard Work" category flurished. Not that the Administration subsadized them. Marxism isn't so much a conspiracy theory as it is a metaphysical dogma. There is this universal law that the economic base creates the superstructure in some sort of cosmic way.

Tourture has never sounded fun to me. I've always enjoyed pampering more.

A new trend in orange eating is taking the nation by storm. It is reported that many are peeling their oranges and letting them "sit-out", as they call it, for the good portion of a day. The result: the skin gets a bit dried out and chaped yet the juicy citrus cells inside maintain their orangie goodness.
David, an early stale orange aficianato from Alhambra, CA comments: "I really like it."
Protests have erupted in Walla Walla Washington tarageting the fad as "erroding the moral fibers of our country." None of the protesters were available for comment.

Who says Eskimos don't make good salsa?
Personally, I find this quite distastful and offensive to my equality sensibilities.

And then there is the whole problem of saying very little with a whole lot of words. This, as you know, is a very difficult issue to deal with when the dealer suffers from the said disability. The harder a solution for the problem is worked on, the more serious the problem becomes. The mere explanaition of the problem and the surrounding aggrivations that increase the problem's severity raises the problem to a dizzying height that few can stand and even less can return from.

I hope, for your sake and mine, that you are among the few who can stomach such rank crappieness.

You might think you understand what I mean.
I might think you understand what I mean.
But all you have is your idea of what I mean.
And all I have is my idea of what you understand me to mean.
Neither of us have what we think we have.

It is cool that the ACLU is bailing out Rush Limbaugh -- nice irony.

And when sitting , thinking of what to, not doing, trying, then it stalls. Dies. You get out and try to figure out what is wrong, but your lack of know-how gets you nowhere. All you can do is hope it starts tomorrow.

Study shows that those using a disproportionatly large amount of milk in cereal are more likely to succeed.

I found this pleasing.

On the brighter side, a little piece of toilet paper stopped a bloody flow on my lip this morning.

Today is a bit old and slow. There is nothing new and fresh to speak of. All is done and used. The only redeeming element of the day is my repetitive use of conjuntions and double adjectives.
