Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds
I laughed, I cried, I almost puked a couple of times…such is the journey of Jackass 3D. When I first heard
that Jackass was coming out with not only a third movie but also a 3D movie I nearly crapped myself with joy.
People, I grew up on Jackass. When my friends and I were out skateboarding all day, we would pull pranks, and do stupid shit because we thought it was funny. And then the Jackass guys came and made a show about it, and we kind of realized that we weren’t alone; we are part of a culture of, well, Jackasses.
But to me, this movie kind of marked an end of an era. It’s been 10 years since the show started now, and I am well into adulthood. As I sat watching a giant dildo fly at my face in 3D AND slow motion I realized something: I was never going to be able to relive those days of my youth. Gone are the days where I could skateboard all day, throw myself down some stairs, and then get kicked in the balls without missing a beat. As I age, I realize there are things that could actually HURT me, and I slow down because of things like medical bills, and lawsuits, and police records.
Don’t get my wrong, I still love to pull pranks, and skateboard, I just do so more… cautiously now. Which defeats the whole purpose of it to me. I started skateboarding because I saw it s a way to channel some of my aggression, to be a place where I could go balls to the wall, and didn’t care what happened. And things just fell into place, I made friends, I gained different interests, I picked up a camera, and I learned that goldfish combined with mountain dew makes AWESOME fake vomit.
I want to reclaim the guy that I used to be, I want to still be as hardcore as I used to be. But I know that I honestly can’t. And it is sad. But I still love Jackass, and I can’t wait until Jackass 4D comes out, which will actually be a live play.
I know this randombling seems a bit off, but as it’s says its an unedited stream of consciousness.
