Juuuuust a bit outside

Woe on Me - Beck

Tomorrow, Major League comes out on Blue Ray, and I, like all Clevelanders, have an unashamed love for that movie. I think its pretty interesting that it's coming out when the Cavs are (apparently) great (until they become Cleveland's latest let-down) and when these Cleveland videos on youtube are all the rage ('cause they're super funny. "Our main export is crippling depression. HA!") But I realized something when thinking about the movie is that I'll never understand what its like to see it as an outsider. Do non-Clevelanders enjoy it? Do they find it as funny? Do they sympathize with Cleveland, or do they merely make fun? I can't tell... to me, I think it pretty well captured the pathos that this city deserves...at least we're not detroit. I feel like this city needs a something to make itself feel better; to make it feel like its not a failure; to make it remember that there are plenty of good things about it; it needs something to make it redefine itself and let go of the past and adapt for the future. I feel like cleveland and I have a lot in common. Which is, i think, why i wanted to move so much. because I, like the city, am stagnant and cant get going even tho I have good ideas and good intentions and potential and I was good at something at some point.

I've been working a lot today and I've got more work to do still. 1000s of pages of legislative history... many more to go thru still. It's gonna be a late night. that's ok. i may stay up very late and watch Capote after i'm done with work.
