But that dream ended pretty abruptly. Apparently sleeping past lunch, even on a national holiday, isn't allowed at my house. I think that MLK day, of all days, is a pretty fucked up day to ruin someone's dreams. Even if those dreams happen to be about getting a blow j from a blurry figure that may or may not have been Brittany Murphy circa 1995 instead of social equality.
People might think that's a pretty insensitive statement, but just because Brittany Murphy is dead doesn't mean she wasn't once hot. My bad for celebrating her memory. And it just so happens I'm in the proud minority that thinks she reached her pinnacle of sexual attractiveness in the hit film "Clueless" playing the lovable new girl, Tai.
Maybe today isn't the most appropriate day to write about that film though. Or is it? Weren't Cher, Dionne, and the gang just as socially "clueless" as America during the civil rights movement? Sure they acknowledged the dweebs and the stoners, but they didn't want to hang out with them. Everyone was toooootally equal in their minds, they just wanted them to remain separate. It took a courageous spirit, like Tai, to come out and say "Hey, I don't, like, care who Travis hangs out with, I don't care he's a stoner, think he's cute, and that's all that matters to me." Eventually harmony came to Beverly Hills High, and everyone was better off for it. I could go on and on about the parallels between the film Clueless and the Civil Rights movement (Dionne not talking to Cher for a month? Sounds like a bus boycott in disguise to me) but since it's a holiday, and I'm about to watch the rest of this K-State-UT game, I'm just gonna leave it at this.
RIP Brittany Murphy
oh and Martin Luther King Jr.
