In my head.
The number of times I’ve pointed finger guns into the mirror and growled “go ahead, make my day” is going to stay between me and God (and my spouse) (and the dog).
Nonetheless, I love gritty, action packed, not-quite-politically-correct stories about people who live hard.
Beneath the rugged, dingy, and unflinching nature of these stories is a really beautiful message:
We’re all going to die.
So we might as well say and do everything that we want to do in our lives because they could be over in a moment.
These books and movies also make me feel super cool. Which is totally redundant because I am cool. Like, totally.
Anyway, see below for my list of movies and books that’ll make you feel like you can single-handedly take on an army of radioactive raccoons with nothing but a paring knife and those super cute shorts that make your butt look so awesome you sexy beast.
“There was a firefight!”
“Look at us. A bunch of screw-ups. But together? We’re the only family that matters.”
“Why do I want to be a real person when I’m already a myth?”
“Where you stripped down at the temple site, screaming that you were going to fight God.”
