Saw Monuments Men this weekend, pretty good movie, though how can you really good wrong with George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, & Cate Blanchet, & John Goodman
So file this in the JGlass struggles to understand his friends category.
So as you probably know (because I've been talking about it quite a bit), I started a new job last week, and it was kind of out of left field that I got this job in what is a seemingly random industry. I'm very happy and excited about this job, and many of my friends are too, and no less than three of my friends have told me within the last week that they're proud of me. This has caused me some internal confusion.
On one hand, I feel really comforted that I have friends that have such a vested interest in my life that they feel pride that I am moving in a positive direction. They seem to genuinely care about not just my well being in the present, but my well being in the future, and it makes me happy to have people like that in my life.
On the other hand, I feel like it's kind of condescending, like they were worried about me not being able to grow up or get a real job or anything like that. I know they don't mean it to be condescending and that they are genuinely proud of me, but I feel like in order to be proud of someone you have to come from a position of knowing what they've been through and overcome it.
What I've come to conclude is that pride in other people is something I don't fully understand yet. I think my opinions on pride in others is evolving, and while I can't say I fully accept the fact that my friends are proud of me, I do greatly appreciate the fact that they care about me and what I'm going to do with my life. It's a good feeling knowing that I'm not alone in this job, because I'm going to need all the support I can get.

The phrase has evolved to another spin on saying "good job" in a way.
I think you are looking too far into their words & adding a bit of self-doubt where it isnt needed. They are proud you are doing something out of your wheelhouse & being positive about it. That is a good thing.
What makes you proud of others? When you say "Im proud of you" is it because they got off their lazy ass or that they are doing a good thing regardless of past struggle? When I say it I usually mean to acknowledge their effort- not so much I thought they were a loser & are finally doing better.

I just found out TNA is doing a house show about 90 mins. from where I live on Mar. 29th, may have to check that out.
I actually watched TNA for the first time since August last Thursday and actually quite enjoyed it.
Also, hi, everyone.

I went to a house show of theirs on Saturday and had a great time.
I guess I tell people that I'm proud of them when I think they've made progress as a person, like when they get a job they really wanted or something. I can't remember the last person I consider a peer I told that I was proud of them, but I suspect it's a friend of mine from college that got a job out of school as a news reporter in Idaho.
I'm definitely reading into it more than I have to, but it's not just insecurity that leads me to do that: it's also genuine interest in trying to understand why I'm being told this.
I went to a TNA house show once. It was a good time. I recommend going.
Hi Doc!
So I've been thinking of more ways to contribute to the non spam sections, and I think I'm going to start reviewing almost every new film I watch from now on. After I saw Wolf of Wallstreet I gave a short review on that in the 2014 Films thread, and so that inspired me to review more. I watched and reviewed Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon yesterday in the movie review thread, and now I'm watching another Kevin Bacon movie The River Wild.
It's a fun way to enhance my writing skills and also analyze some movies that I otherwise wouldn't think too much about once they're over.
Also I like this thread, it's a nice place to just pop in and say something that isn't worth making a thread over.

Holy internet time machine, Batman!
I've been to three WWE house shows in the last six months. They're awesome too.

I saw, hopefully they do a cage match at all the house shows, cause I'd like to see one live in person. I've also never seen Angle, Aries, or the Wolves preform live & would look forward to that.
At your show were they still selling the mystery bag deal?
So have I, but it's been a long time since they've come this close, the last time they came this close RVD was champ, Styles was heel, Desmond Wolfe was still working with the company, Nash & Jarrett were there to sign autographs during the show. It was a fun time, I hope I can get my cousin & his kid to come with, it would be the kids first ever experience in wrestling, & with how fan friendly TNA shows are I think it would be a pretty cool introduction.

Yep. T-shirt, 4 DVDs, action figure, and something else? for $30. It's a steal, since the t-shirt alone is $25. I didn't get one; none of the shirts were anything I'd ever wear.
I was upset that Angle, Aries, and Bad Influence weren't there. I've never seen Angle or Kaz live, and I'm a big fan of Daniels and Aries. I was excited to see the Wolves; I've seen them a bunch at ROH, but different context and whatnot, and Joe because I'd never seen him live before.
I never understood why WWE wont do more things like this. They have so many items\shirts that they really would not lose money considering the massive amount they make off online orders & the upcoming network. Throw together something like TNA does & charge $50. Still well worth it & the various vintage items they could use makes it a great idea.

I was asking more for my cousins kid, if he was able to make it, I'd likely buy one for him.
Angle & Aries better be there, them & the Wolves would be my biggest reasons for going.
Indubitably.
I just watched the Oldboy remake. Besides Brolin being a badass & some of the fights- the whole rest of it can just fuck right off.
Tame. The original had punch & this was watered down for american audiences. They changed a bit too much on story & all the spark of the original was lost here. Not even Brolin & a dose of Sam Jackson crazy could save this one.
Now I did watch a little gem called Murder Party. Low budget, a few laughs\awkward moments & plenty of gore. It is worth a watch & not too long if you have some time to kill. Not meant to be taken seriously, so dont go into it looking for substance- but a fun movie nonetheless.
