Anything New Usually Sucks...for a little while

The premier of anything is scary. Will it be any good? Is it worth it? Was this just another big, fat waste of my time and cash? And at the beginning, the answer is always a definitive set of maybes. Think back though your little life. Remember that first time day of school. When you moved out of your parent's place. Finding your first crappy apartment to match your shitty job. That first important, game changing, life changing relationship. Your first divorce. The time you inhaled for the first time. Your first drug deal. Yes, I think anyone still in touch with their humanity can relate to a few if not most of these. So I write these words with a little bit of trepidation before I post this into the cold, hard world...wide web. They say it all gets easier after the first time. Hmm, I guess, maybe.

What is Marijuana Movie Night? I originally wanted to do a monthly get together with some good friends, good weed, good food and a great movie. It was going to be during the week which would, in theory, keep the night from spiraling into a smoky binge laden late night. I was excited to play projectionist at home and turning people on to some amazing films which do not get shown or even talked about regularly enough. We'd have some blockbusters too along with art house, noir, new wave and the list in my head went on. So what happened? Man, it all started to sound like a hassle. All those people at my place. My dope all smoked up. It was so perfect in my mind, it was bound to get ruined. But the name was too good to let go of and so I thought, why not a blog. I can still be at home, nothing will be fucked and I can change the rules anytime I want. And that's how this blog will be: a little bit lawless. It may be made up of anything, but at the very least I will try to keep it interesting. OK, my blog foreword is done. Come back again soon to Marijuana Movie Night.
