Ok so i am currently obsessed with the Mcconaughey's philosophy of JK Livin'. This is short for Just Keep Livin'. No "G" cause that would be square. He took it a step further than the French who don't pronounce letters at the end of their words. So much more laid back than the French. In his movie "Surfer Dude" the main character, played by him, is always trying to "keep the stoke" going, which i can only assume refers to the fire in his soul that burns so hottly and laid backly for surfing. All he wants to do is smoke weed and go surfing. When the waves go away he is upset. When the waves come back all is right with the world. Perhaps my busy brain could stand to learn a lesson from the surfer dude. He loves the simpler things in life like weed and hacky sackin'. He doesn't worry about the healthcare debate or global warming or mass extinction. Weed and surfin'. Perhaps there is a lesson in this for us all.
Funny that i brought up mass extinction. McConaughey is also in the film "Reign of Fire". In this film he is not laid back. He plays an army guy who figures out how to defeat the dragons which have taken over the world. It turns out that these dragons are blind during the failing light of the evening time. "Magic Hour" as most film makers would put it. He plays opposite Christian Bale who seems like a really uptight guy. I wonder if Bale ever got annoyed by Matthew's JK Livin' philosophy. I guess that's why Christian is not in "Surfer Dude". Though i will say that "Surfer Dude" could have used some dragons.
