So I hadn't seen the movie, "Teen Wolf," since I was a little girl. All I really remembered was having a big fat crush on Michael J. Fox's quirky friend Styles, because of his killer wardrobe and his awesome van-surfing abilities. And of course his hardcore party leadership qualities. Well darn "Teen Wolf" for being partially responsible for the cultivation of my years of highly questionable taste in guys. But that's a whole other issue

What's on my mind right now is how stupid this movie is. The credits are rolling right now...and the guys I'm with just took off to the skate park and I had the uncontrollable urge to pick up my computer and rant about it! In order to get past my annoyance and give it some sort of meaning in relation to my life - at least - I'm going to catalogue it as an allegory for cocaine abuse.

See, 'wolfing out' is similar to snorting coke. When MJF does it, he's like a better, stronger, more popular version of himself. He gets more attention, feels more alive, gets the hotter chicks, scores points for the team, and so on

But none of it's really real and it's all based on something false and something that's impossible to keep up with forever. Lately I've come across too many people that use cocaine as their crutch. Hollywood's full of 'em. Sometimes it feels like sex and coke are what makes things happen!

for example, it's difficult to sit here and know that the two most 'successful' people out of the grad school I went to used either one or the other to help them get to their success. But the truth is...it's going to be fleeting for both of them. I'll bet on it. You can only stay high for so long before you crash. And you can only screw your way to the middle.

Anyhoo, this movie is dumb. But in my ongoing and sometimes annoying constant search for meaning I came up with this fun little analogy to ponder for a minute. It makes me sad when I see people that I care about go down the cocaine road. Call me a dork or a prude, but I wish they would just know that they are good enough the way they are.
