The Dark Knight

I have sat and stared at this computer for about ten minutes now, struggling to find the words to put down. Should I begin with a clever quip about my undying geek love for Batman or jump right into, “ This is gonna be the greatest moment of my life”? I could put my excitement down in such elegant prose as to leave love letters written by John Keats to shame.
But
It is much simpler than that. Tomorrow morning I will sit at Opry Mills Mall for far longer than any human being should…ever. I’m going to have a book with me, some head phones and my best friend. I will be sitting in lawn chair partaking in some mundane task to pass the time before what will be the culmination of my summer. I will be sitting in line for The Dark Knight.
There is almost a surreal quality to what I just wrote down. I’ve been itching for this movie ever since the final moments of 2005’s Batman Begins. My excitement for this movie has far surpassed my excitement for anything short of finishing high school and my first day of College. I just likened this movie to two of the biggest events in anyone’s life. This movie has consumed me in everyway. I have literally dreamed about seeing it (even though these dreams often times end in some odd fashion, like me being Batman)( I take that back, me dreaming I’m Batman isn’t odd at all).
It’s ridiculous. I remember to the first viral marketing campaign and seeing the first picture of Heath Ledger as the Joker. That moment was followed up by numerous stills and shorts until finally I got my first glimpse of this movie in action. In true geek fashion, I watched the trailer over and over again, getting to the point where I could quote it verbatim. Looking back on it all now… I am such a massive geek. And God I love it.
Some people look forward to down time over the summer, some look forward to spending time with the family, other’s their friends, their girlfriends.
All Summer I have wanted nothing more than to sit at Opry Mills Mall for far longer than any human being should and see this movie
Good Night
I love you all
