Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Movie Review

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. From the dazzling presentation, the witty dialogue, to the epic fight scenes. It’s like Superbad meets Kickass meets Mortal Kombat meets comic book world meets fantasy realism sprinkled in with some acid and shrooms all boiled up in one pot. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is easily one of the most thrilling and enjoyable movie experiences you will ever have in a movie theater. And this is all without any added effects of 3D or the presentation of an IMAX theater.

The story follows Scott, who is a 20 something year old somewhat talented somewhat of a loser bass player that lives with his gay friend who just happens to be dating a guy also named Scott. In this film, Scott starts out dating a 17 year old high school girl to get over his heart crushing break up with his ex girlfriend Envy Adams, who broke up with him to become a pop star. Scott’s life is sort of sad and in many ways pathetic, but as the movie progresses his world does a 180. He meets this weird quirky neon haired girl named Ramona Flowers. Ramona has this edgy look and this attitude about her that makes her irresistible and Scott being the loser that he is could not help but fall for her. At first Ramona shuns him, but as the movie progresses his awkward and quirky ways grows on her and eventually he wins her heart and they begin dating.

But that’s when all the trouble begins. In order to continue to date her Scott must fight off and defeat all 7 of her exes. It’s a task that seems impossible but Scott, who has sadly fallen pretty hard for Ramona, is up to the task. And this is exactly when the movie takes off and sends the audience into a cinematic explosion of epicness. The fight sequence and frenzied pace narrative is so spectacular that you’ll often find yourself cheering and pumping your fist as if you just KO’d one of your buddies in Mortal Kombat. I would say Scott Pilgrim is one of those rare movies that only come along once in a decade, but I’ve already said that about Inception, so I guess we as movie goers got lucky this year and we were blessed with two incredibly mind blowing movies. As much praise as I’m giving Scott Pilgrim, it’s of course not flawless, but none of its flaws are big enough to even scratch the surface or to even have you notice since you’ll be too busy being in awe with the movie’s magnificent style and presentation. Scott Pilgrim overall is just a fun movie experience filled with some laughs, a witty dialogue, and a cute but quirky romantic story. I recommend this movie to anybody and everybody. It’s definitely a must watch and dare I say, Scott Pilgrim might be the best movie to come out this year not named Inception.

The Last Exorcism Movie Review

The Last Exorcism is definitely a different experience for most movie goers. For the most part, we’ve all seen our fair share of exorcism movies. We know what to expect. We’re all used to the back bending, neck twisting, demon possessed girl and tragic story of the reverend that tries to save her soul. While The Last Exorcism follows the same formula and uses the same typical scares that we’re all used to, it’s the storyline and the way it is presented that makes this film different from all the other exorcism movies.

First of all, the movie is shot in a pseudo documentary style ala Cloverfield and The Blair Witch Project. Some might not be too big of a fan of that style of presentation, but for this movie it works. The first person hand held camera presentation gives the film a bit more of a human touch, like you’re watching a documentary on the history channel rather than an actual movie, and for most people that enhances the scares just tad bit.

As for the story, the movie is set in a remote farm and it follows a documentary team who documents Reverend Cotton Marcus as he performs his “last exorcism.”  Cotton is not your traditional Reverend. Even though he performs these exorcisms, he doesn’t personally believe in demons or any sort of possessed spirit himself. He feels that it’s all in the head and all of it is an idea planted in ones brain and his exorcism is what releases this thought and frees the “possessed.” So when the Reverend is called upon to perform one last exorcism, he goes into it thinking it’s going to be another one of those overly superstitious Christianity families who become overly frightened over a possible possession. The Reverend has it set in his mind to expose modern day exorcism for the scam that it is, but once he arrives at the farm, it begins to dawn on him that he might be witnessing an actual case of a demonic possession.

For me most horror films don’t do much but offer a laugh, but not in the sense that the film is ha ha funny but more in the sense that the film is so bad that it’s funny. The Last Exorcism on the other hand for the most part is actually genuinely scary and not only that but it also offers a good laugh, not in the it’s so bad it’s funny but actual ha ha clever scripting funny. While The Last Exorcism does offer up some scares and moments where you should be on the edge of your seat, it’s not as consistent as most movie goers would like it to be. The first half of the movie is different and definitely intrigues the viewer and at one point the movie even gets frighteningly intense, but the movie’s lack of consistency and it’s fall back on clichés after clichés butchers what could have been a great film. I’m not usually a fan of horror films, particularly one that is shot using the first person hand held camera, but The Last Exorcism does offer up something different, a few good scares and for the most part a thoroughly entertaining film.

Why People Hate Inception

Every now and then our generation is blessed with a must see movie, a movie that captivates you and not only challenges our intellect but provides a thrilling experience to go along with it. Some say Inception is cinematically perfect, a flawless piece of art, one that is so masterfully layered with complexity that it could change Hollywood forever. If that is the popular perception of the movie, then why is it that so many people hate Inception?

It’s sad to say but, Inception’s own success is the main reason why people hate the film. Before the film’s release, most people didn’t even know about Inception or cared too much to see it. Then as movie reviews started reeling in and word of mouth spread that Inception might be one the best films of the decade, people hopped on the bandwagon. Which of course was great for Inception in terms of revenue (3 straight weeks at #1), but detrimental in terms of viewer expectation. Inception’s own hype quickly turned the film into a “love it or hate it” type of movie.

The divide was between those who either loved the film for its viscerally mind bending plot and insightful look into the world of dreams or those who hated it because of its confusing and overly complex storyline. Some say that the film’s attention to detail and its narrative brought a new light into Hollywood. Others say the film was too long winded and the series of cuts and jumps in between locations was not brilliant, but simply just bad editing.

There are movie goers that go into a film with an open mind and enjoy the film for what it is. Then there are those who build up such a high expectation that they are bound to be disappointed. Maybe the hype of Inception being one of the best films of all time was a bit too much, but it still shouldn’t take away from the movie being one of the most original mind blowing films to have come out in recent history. With every great movie, especially with Christopher Nolan films of late (I don’t know why), there will always be haters and critics who despise the movie just to go against the grain. But whether or not people love or hate Inception, people are still seeing the movie. Discussions of the film are still alive and well all across the country. Facebook statuses and twitter updates are littered with praise for Inception. So as much as people want to hate Inception, whether they’re hating it just to hate it or they truly don’t like the film, all this is doing is drawing more attention towards the movie and as long as discussion of the film continue, revenue will continue to reel in and maybe one day, when the hype finally dies down, people can finally see the film for what it is.

Easy A Movie Review

When a high school rumor circulates that Olive Penderghast, played by Emma Stone, is not as clean cut as people had presumed her to be, rather than denying or fighting those rumors, Olive instead took on the identity and used it to advance her social and financial standing. Within a matter of class periods, Olive became the most talked about topic around school. For a lack of a better word, Olive was the “school slut.” Girls hated it, guys embraced it, and she loved it.

In this quirky high school comedy, Emma Stone leads the way with a strong and convincing performance as a student who victimizes herself. While “Easy A” is not rolling on the ground funny, it brings a consistent laugh throughout and a strong cast that gels well with the high school atmosphere. Don’t come into this film expecting anything overly clever or a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Easy A is your typical high school comedy that pokes fun at the little roles and stereotypes developed throughout our teen years. There will be a lot of “I’ve been there” or “I’ve seen that” moments in which you can relate to your own high school experience. Some might be exaggerated a bit and there are parts and particularly a specific character (Amanda Bynes) who is a tad bit annoying, but overall Easy A a solid comedy that is definitely worth checking out.

NFC West Preview

NFC West Preview

San Francisco 49ers (last year 8-8)
- Key Additions: Anthony Davis, Mike Iupati, Ted Ginn Jr
- Key Losses: Shaun Hill, Dre Bly

Throughout the past few years we’ve seen the NFC West undergo many changes. We witnessed the shift of power as the once dominant Seattle Seahawks passed the torch on to the high powered Arizona Cardinals. This year, with the retirement of Kurt Warner, we might see yet another shift. However, this time it’s the San Francisco 49ers waiting at the helm to receive the torch. But how many times have we heard this before? How many years has it been since the 49ers have been dubbed the dark horse team? How many times have we heard “this is it, this will finally be our year?” Clearly, we’ve heard it enough times and 49er fans have been teased plenty enough with their fast 2-0 starts only to see their team fall gracefully back down to earth as the season progressed.

But what makes this year any different? The key will be the maturation of Alex Smith. Last year in a short stint, fans finally saw brilliance from the former #1 draft pick. In the 10 games that he played, he threw for 2350 yards 18 tds and 12 ints. To equate that into a 16 game season, that’s 3760 yards 28 tds and 19 ints. Great numbers right? Yes, but let’s look at these numbers more closely. Of those 10 games that he played he really only played well in 5 of those games. Of those 5 games that he played well in, 4 of those came against non playoff teams and 3 of those being 3 of the worst passing defenses in the league (Seattle #28, St. Louis #31, Detroit #32). And the one playoff team he did play against (Houston) is at best a middle of the road defense.

There are many questions surrounding Alex Smith coming into the season. Can he be consistent? Will he be able to keep up his level of play? Will he be great? All those questions aside, I think the most important question is, does he even have to be great? With the division being as weak as it is and the 49ers running game and defense being one of the best in the league, I think the 49ers can get away with Alex Smith being just “good enough.”

Prediction: 9-7 (Divisional Champ)

Fantasy Predictions
QB: Alex Smith – 3600 yds 25 tds 14 ints
RB: Frank Gore – 1278 yds 14 tds 34 rec 312 yds
WR: Michael Crabtree – 83 rec 854 yds 7 tds
TE: Vernon Davis – 76 rec 915 yds 9 tds

Seattle Seahawks (last year 5-11)
- Key Additions: Russel Okung, Golden Tate, Leon Washington
- Key Losses: Nate Burleson, Darryl Tapp, Cory Redding

No one likes to rebuild, but at some point everyone has to and the Seahawks have finally started their much needed rebuilding process, sort of. The problem with the Seahawks is that they are still stuck in between not knowing if they want to compete or to completely overhaul the team. The result, they’ve done neither.

Let’s take a look at what the Seahawks did in the off season. First they made a big splash by signing Pete Carroll. “Yay!” “…boo!” Mixed reactions from everyone. Then they decided to address the quarterback situation, “Great, finally! But wait…who did they trade for? Charlie who? And they gave up what to get him?” At this point, Seahawk fans were sort of confused, some hated the move and others blindly supported it. However, after a while most fans came to the conclusion that Pete Carroll and crew must know what they’re doing and this Charlie Whitehurst guy has to be some hidden gem ala Tom Brady because they gave up so much to get him. So hope is once again instilled in Seahawk nation, “Yeah, go Seahawks!” Now, fast forward a couple of months, it’s training camp and not only is Charlie Whitehurst not battling Hasselbeck for the #1 spot at QB, but the Seahawks had to go out of their way to sign JP fricking Losman because Whitehurst looked so bad during camp.

So what exactly are the Seahawks doing? Are they rebuilding or are they not rebuilding? I think deep down, the Seahawks secretly think they are only a couple moves away from competing and possibly winning the division. Delusional? Maybe, but then again I don’t blame them. They are in the NFC West after all. And as bad as the team has been, if key players such as Hasselbeck, Trufant, Tatupu, etc are able to stay healthy, if Russell Okung can solidify the offensive line, if Golden Tate can stretch the field for Housh, and if Aaron Curry can make a fricking tackle, the Seahawks could easily win 9-10 games, and that is plenty enough to win the division. So can they do it? Of course. But is it likely? Probably not.

Predictions: 7-9 (2nd place finish)
Fantasy Predictions
- QB: Matt Hasselbeck – 3550 yds 24 tds 18 ints
- RB: Justin Forsett – 220 carries 1050 yds 5 tds 55 rec 490 yds
- RB: Julius Jones – 105 carries 441 yds 3 tds
- WR: TJ Houshmandzadeh – 94 rec 1150 yds 8 tds
- TE: John Carlson – 57 rec 650 yds 5 tds

Arizona Cardinals (Last year: 10-6)

- Key Additions: Joey Porter, Kerry Rhodes
- Key Losses: Kurt Warner, Karlos Dansby, Anquan Boldin, Antrelle Rolle

I guess the hottest topic circulating camp this year is, “will there be life after Kurt Warner?” As a team the Cardinals have a solid foundation in place. They have a good young core of players on both sides of the field, a good mix of veterans, and probably one of the better coaches in the league (Ken Whisenhunt) heading the team. However, you can’t underestimate the loss of Kurt Warner. This is no slight to Matt Leinart, but Kurt Warner was to the Cardinals what Steve Nash is to the Suns. People forget but the entire Cardinals offense literally ran through Warner. His ability to accurately hit a receiver in stride, his pocket presence and quick decision making followed by his quick release not only helped out the receivers but it also masked the fact that the offensive line wasn’t really that good.


The departure of Warner now leaves Matt Leinart the burden to carry the torch. Can we expect Leinart to produce the same way as Warner did? Probably not. Leinart lacks the arm strength and the quick release that Warner has, which will limit the offense and will probably cause Whisenhunt to draw out more of a short pass run first type of offense rather than the usual aerial attack that we’re so used to seeing with the Kurt Warner ran offense. Which probably means, more Beanie Wells.

Wells is a running back that possesses a rare package of size and speed. The 6’1 228 pound back came off an impressive rookie season rushing for 778 yards and 7 touchdowns. Wells is still a work in progress in terms of pass blocking and blitz recognition, but as a pure runner Wells definitely has the talent to become one of the elite backs in the league. The talk is all about Leinart and what he will be able to bring to the table, but personally I think the key to the Cardinal’s success this season will be Beanie Wells and his progression. This team doesn’t need to win 42-35 anymore, they have a solid enough defense and a good enough running back to grind it out and win some 17-14 games or some 13-6 games.

Prediction: 7-9 (3rd place finish)

Fantasy Predictions
- QB: Matt Leinart – 3400 yds 19 tds 15 ints
- RB: Beanie Wells – 255 carries 1147 yds 9 tds
- RB: Tim Hightower – 140 574 yds 5 tds
- WR: Larry Fitzgerald – 103 rec 1350 yds 11 tds
- WR: Steve Breaston – 65 rec 730 yds 3 tds

St. Louis Rams (Last year: 1-15)

- Key Additions: Sam Bradford, Rodger Saffold, Bobby Carpenter
- Key Losses: Marc Bulger, Alex Barron, Leonard Little,

Sadly, in a year when the NFC West is as weak as it is, the Rams are probably the only team ruled out of contention. But that’s to be expected out of a team who only won 1 game the previous year. 2010 will finally mark the end of the Marc Bulger era and the beginning of the Sam Bradford era. There are a lot skeptics who doubt Bradford, but health questions aside, when healthy Bradford is everything you could ask for in a franchise quarterback. He’s a winner, he has the build of an NFL quarterback, he can make all the throws, he has pin point accuracy, and as much as people bag on him for being fragile, Sam is a tough guy.

Now the question is, can Bradford stay healthy? Of course no one can answer that question definitively, but from early reports from camp, it seems like Bradford’s shoulder has healed quite well. Whether or not he stays healthy will depend a lot on how his offensive line will hold up and of course a little bit of luck as well. The talent surrounding Bradford is still a work in progress, but there are definitely some pieces worth noting.

On offense, the Rams have their work horse in Steven Jackson. At 6’2 236 lbs, S-Jack is without a doubt one of toughest backs in the league. In an era where every team is splitting carries between backs to preserve their health, S-Jack is one of the few backs left that can take on 320 + carries and 50 + rec in a year. At the wide receiver position, the Rams aren’t very deep, but they have some young talent in Donnie Avery and newly drafted Mardy Gilyard. Both wide receivers are a good compliment to each other as Avery is more of a speedster that stretches the field ala Santana Moss where as Mardy Gilyard is more of a slasher that makes the tough catches in the middle of the field. There’s not much expectation in terms of wins and losses this year for the Rams, but with Sam Bradford as the face of the franchise, at least there’s hope for the future.

Prediction: 4-12 (Last place finish)

QB: Sam Bradford – 2100 yds 9 tds 13 ints
QB: AJ Feely – 1350 yds 6 tds 4 ints
RB: Steven Jackson – 335 carries 1474 yds 6 tds 55 rec 490 yds 2 tds
WR: Donnie Avery – 50 rec 730 yds 5 tds
WR: Mardy Gilyard – 45 rec 510 yds 3 tds

Eminem Recovery Album Review

1) Cold Wind Blows (7/10)
- Em starts the album off by bringing back an old formula that we’re all familiar with, mixing a bit of silly humor with his usual lash of intensity. Cold Wind Blows is one of those silly comical attacks aimed at Em’s haters. Em goes the comical route with his lyrics but maintains the bad ass persona through his tone and delivery. Not a great song, but definitely a good start to the album.

2. Talking To Myself (9/10)
- Easily one of my favorites on the album. The chorus, which is sung by both Kobe and Em, instantly grabs you. Throughout this track Em confesses his inner demons, he admits to his jealousy of Lil Wayne, his past drug problems, and even mans up to the fact that he is no longer the rapper that he used to be. Em comes with a strong performance delivering probably one of his best and most honest tracks in recent years.

3. On Fire (4/10)
- This is the first of many instances where it’s obvious that Em is trying just a little bit too hard to recapture his old self. There are parts that are a bit funny and maybe even clever to some, but for the most part the creativity just isn’t there. Lines like “cold as spiderman throwing a spider in the snow” just shows that Em is trying too hard to be random and funny and for me at least it doesn‘t work. The beat is solid and Em delivers pretty nice on this track, but the lyrics just don’t cut it for me. First mediocre track of the album.

4. Wont Back Down (7.5/10)
- Love the chorus, but Em’s over aggressive delivery kills it for me. Lyrically, I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. If you really listen to what Em is saying there’s really no structure or direction that he is going in with his lyrics, he’s just throwing out random punch lines and bouncing off one to the next. There are instances where the punch lines are so stupid that it’s funny (I’m a shit stain on the underwear of life) then there are other instances where it seems like Em is just rhyming just to rhyme and doing it just because he fucking can (does a bird chirp/lil wayne slurps/syrup til he burps/and smokes purp/does a word search…seriously wtf?). This is probably another one of those tracks where Em is trying too hard, but some of it works and the chorus is catchy so overall the song works. Solid track.

5. WTP (8/10)
- I think I’ve figured out Em’s problem. He still has it in him to be ridiculous and stupid on a track, it’s just for it to be good he has to have a concept or a structure that he’s following. With this track Em follows the white trash concept and for the first time in a while we see his creative side alive and working. The chorus is absurd but it’s extremely catchy. The lyrics are ridiculous and random but it follows a concept so it’s not all over the place. Die hard fans of the old Em should love this track.

6. Going Through Changes (9/10)
- This song is so deep and real. Em’s lyrics open you up to his world and what he’s had to go through these past years, the grief of losing proof (I sit alone in my home theatre, watching the same damn DVD/of the first tour, the last tour, when he was still alive), the drug problems, and the struggles with his own insecurities. The chorus isn’t my favorite, but it samples Ozzie and it fits well with the track. Overall it’s a great personal track.

7. Not Afraid (10/10)
- The chorus still gives me goosebumps to this day. This track fits perfectly in this album and where it’s placed in the album, because after confessing and admitting his wrongs in “Talking To Myself” and “Going Through Changes” he is now standing up to everything and facing all his problems head on. This is easily one of my all time favorite Em tracks.

8. Seduction (5.5/10)
- This track is about Em being an amazing rapper, so amazing that he is able to steal your girl whenever he feels like it. It’s a pretty cool concept, the lyrics are solid, but the chorus was so so. Average track for me.

9. No Love (9/10)
- From what I’ve read and heard from people, the popular notion seems to be that Em absolutely slaughtered and body bagged Lil Wayne on the track. I’m not going to lie I’m an Eminem fan boy myself, but I don’t think Em out shined Wayne at all. As a matter of fact, lyrically you could make the argument that Wayne had more stand out lines and a bit more creativity in his verse. The one reason why it seems that Em totally outshines Wayne is the way he delivered his verse. The tone he used and the passion behind his voice. With that being said though, Em did steal the spot light, but Wayne held his own on this track. Great track, one of the best of the album, but a little bit overhyped (wasn’t mind blowing like everyone made it out to be).

10. Space Bound (7/10)
- Eminem stricken down by love? This is definitely a different side of Eminem that we haven’t seen or at least not for an entire track. We’re so used to the Eminem that “leap[s] tall hoes in a single bound/I’m single now/got no ring on this finger now” (Superman) not the Eminem we see in this track that’ll “do anything whatever it takes when I’m with you, I get the shakes/my body aches when I ain’t with you, I have zero strength.” It’s always refreshing to see an artist show a more personal side, a weaker side of himself that not a lot of people have seen. Solid track.

11. Cinderella Man (8.5/10)
- This beat reminds me of “Til I Collapse,” which is a great thing, because it brings back Em’s old ferocious flow and delivery. The lyrics are focused on Em’s comeback and his rise from the depths where critics had buried him. Em delivers with a passion and intensity that moves even the most casual fans of his work.

12. 25 to Life (9/10)
- This song is incredible, some might think this song is about a girl, but it’s really a metaphor for Em’s relationship and ties to the rap game. He speaks on this track as if he was talking to a female “maybe if this bitch had acted right I would’ve stayed/but I’ve already wasted over half of my life I would’ve laid/down and died for you…I gave up my life for you, totally devoted to you while I’ve stayed/paved for all the way this is how I fucking get repaid” but really he’s talking about how much he has given up for the rap game and how it has controlled him and turned him into a monster. Definitely one of the more creative tracks we’ve seen from Em in a while.

13. So Bad (4/10)
- The title fits with the song. It’s a jokey song that goes the comical route with no true direction or meaning at all. Definitely a filler, probably the worst song on the album.

14. Almost Famous (6.5/10)
- This is a decent track. The chorus has a dark and eerie feel to it. The track is about Em’s rise to stardom and lyrically he has a lot of fun on this track. The wordplay is sick and his delivery is even better. Not my favorite but definitely worth a listen if you’re a fan of Em’s lyrics.

15. Love The Way You Lie (10/10)
- Em and Rhianna sound perfect together on this track. It’s also fitting that both have been involved in some sort of domestic violence in their life, which just speaks to how real this track is. Lyrically this track touches base on the issue and Em does a great job of painting the picture of a couple spiraling to an end. Easily one of the best tracks on the album and most likely will be the second single on the album.

16. You’re Never Over (10/10)
- Some might hate the singing, but I love it. Em singing off key is not done cause he can’t sing, it’s done purposely to emphasize the fact that he doesn’t care if he sounds like a fool, he misses his best friend Proof and he’s not embarrassed to let the whole world know that he loves him. The lyrics on this song are really touching and heart felt.

17. Bonus track (4/10)
- Filler track. In my opinion I thought that the album would’ve ended perfectly after “You’re Never Over” adding this track was just unnecessary.

Is Eminem back? On the charts, yes, but will we ever see the old Marshall Mathers/Slim Shady again? Probably not. Em’s voice has changed and so has his life and surroundings, so I don’t think we’ll ever see slim shady again. which is refreshing to some and disappointing to others, but I’m just glad we got an authentic Eminem album instead of a lack luster poorly put together one we’ve gotten his previous two albums. As for the album itself, the lyrics on Recovery are incredibly honest and it’s refreshing and rare to see an artist be able to spill out his heart on an album like this. There are many flaws to it, and instances where Eminem is trying too hard to recapture the old magic that brought him to super stardom, but for the most part, Em’s honesty and ability to win over an audience overshadows the minor flaws in Recovery. In my opinion Recovery has a chance to be one of if not the best album of the year. Better than Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem Show, probably not, but honestly how many albums in recent history even hold a candle to those two, so it’s kind of unfair to compare Recovery to those stand alone classics.

Where The Thrill Ends

Relationships: easy to get into, but hard to maintain. Why? Because people can’t seem to be able to see past their significant other’s flaws. Chris Rock said it best, “When you love someone, you got to love everything about them. You got to love the crust of a motherfucker. You can’t just love the white part of the bread. You got to love the crust, the crumbs, the tiny little crumbs at the bottom of the toaster.” The problem with couples is their inability to adapt. We as a human species do not take change very well. We don’t like it. Some of us hate it. We are capable of adapting and changing, but if we had the choice, we’d rather not. This is the downfall of most relationships.

Not only that but it’s so easy to find someone else, either temporarily or long term, to make you happy, that sometimes it’s not even worth it to adapt, sometimes it’s not even worth the effort to make things work. We’re lazy, we would rather live in the honey moon stage of relationships, where everything is still perky and perfect. Where you still have butterflies talking on the phone or kissing your significant other. Why go through all the stress of maintaining a relationship, why struggle and have to endure all the pain and hardship of making a relationship work, when you can just find someone else and relive that honeymoon stage and when that ends just repeat the process all over again.
