Stupid Hurts

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.“ The entire theater was silent when he spoke those lines. Clark Gable’s voice gripped everyones’ throat for that moment. Then ear shattering applause.

I got to see Gone with the wind for the first time at the Alabama theater this weekend and had an absolute blast. With my short attention span the plot was a little hard to follow, but some of the cinematography and the costuming is amazing. To make the show complete the soundtrack interspersed with music from the Wurlitzer pipe organ, and there were five or so women roaming around in period costumes.

Past that I have spent most of the week out riding my bicycle up and down the hill I live on and roaming around downtown Irondale.

Getting down the hill is easy, and once I got used to the speed has even proven to be the fun part. There is something special about looking down and seeing that your bike is doing 35 miles and hour and trying to get the phrase ”stupid hurts” out of your head.
