Review of Better Luck Tomorrow (2002) by Howie V — 22 Feb 2011

Pretty foolish for a bunch of smart kids. Hate to use the word /idiot/ but...guns, drugs, prostitutes, gangs, and general punk stuff...I know a cry for help when I see one. It's always the smart ones because they've got that labyrinth of a mind to navigate through. The demons their high-powered cabezas manifest far are more convincing than the ones us average folk are used to. Sane people just don't create like that. It's difficult to fully grasp where one thought ends and the other begins. Chaos. Thus we see the delicate balance between higher-intellect and mental illness. See, Stephanie is the smart one. She got herself a therapist [hint-hint]. Better Luck Tomorrow is a hip one. Two thumbs up.

"I'm very happy. Isn't it obvious? I have everything. Loving parents, top grades, Ivy League scholarships, of course, Stephanie. Right there. That's it. I'm so f--king happy I can't stop it. It's a never-ending cycle. When you got everything you want what's left? You can't settle for being happy that's a f--king trap. You got to take life into your own hands. Do whatever it takes to break the cycle. That's what it is. Breaking the cycle. I envy you." - Steve.
