I've seen this movie a few times. Some part of me thinks, "that's the way it was". This time I was thinking that I was not like that at all.
I didn't slack, really. Plus, I wasn't that cool or uncool.
I'm trying to figure out the difference. They - I say "they" as if now I am no longer one of "them". Now that would be something a slacker would say in Slacker (the movie).
I might talk about projective lines being parallel and compacting infinity and all - but what they were whimsical about was different.
I guess they didn't work. Wasn't that the point in a way? Is that why they called it "slacker"? I was working. That doesn't make me better or worse - just different. I was trying to figure things out - but I was working at the same time.
How could these guys have that much time to sit around and contemplate and all that? I did, kind of. I didn't even know anybody like that.
I don't even think these guys existed. There were people who were into Mr. Potato Head - sure. There were those with super hero metal lunch boxes - yes. Chopped hair - of course.
Now I want to find a scene that has anything to do with what I'd consider in anyway, even remotely, to what I loved about growing up in Austin.
Well, I guess, maybe, it's following this and that... and watching the connections, hopping along for the ride... sometimes - not all the time, because really then and now I have stuff to do.
