Libraries kick ass


I am the Library liaison for all my friends. I always spout about how fucking downright awesome libraries are. Why in the fuck does anyone buy books? Why does anyone buy movies for that matter either? I don't know when the last time you checked out what programs your local library offers, but chances are you'll be pretty surprised at the services that libraries offer. I still can't tell why anyone subscribes to services like blockbuster or netflix when virtually the same service (takes a little longer to get the titles you want, you have to pick up and return items, and there are late fees) is available from your local library for free. My library has a vast collection of movies, and adds to it every week as new dvd's are released. All I have to do is go online and place holds for new movies as they come out.

Shit, I find myself refusing more and more often to subject myself to the calamity that is going to a movie theater. I would rather just wait till the movies come to DVD then watch them from the comfort of my couch, eat and drink whatever I please, and smoke till bad movies get good. Although some movies even the stickiest dank cant fix.
All in all, Libraries kick slightly less ass than Bruce Lee, which is still a tremendous amount of ass to be kicking.
