The make-a-wish foundation payed for my admition to "Jay and Silent Bob Stike Back," since the last of my money was gone thanks to my HMO. I'd hoped that laughter could ease the pain of my tumor as it spread to my spinal fluid. Unfortunately, now I know that my last days will have no relent from excrutiating pain because your film only made it worse. The dialogue was more painful than my spinal tap 8 days ago. And the storyline hurt me more deeply than the time my parents abandoned me because the growths on my face and hands were so grotesque that when they looked at me all they saw was a horrifying monster, and not the loving son whom my father hoped one day would play baseball again, and my mother had dreamed of seeing wed. I see now that the world has had nothing to offer all along and all of my hope was truly a vain atempt to dull the only thing more painful than my sickeness: the reality that existance holds none of the joy, or happiness we learn about in sunday school, only pain and agony, and a struggle against hope that we can somehow find meaning in meaninglessness and ultimately we all find what I have found hope in hopelessness. This truth is my only comfort in these my last hours.
Thank you Kevin Smith for bringing me closer to this realization. I will remember you as darkness finally consumes me and brings my back to the only place where I can find peace.
Just kidding, I like the movie. ALthough a little Chris Rock goes a long way. The cracker jokes kind of got to me. Oh and I don't really have cancer I just like to put that because when people think you're dying, man, they really, really listen instead of just waiting for their turn to speak.
