cheesy song that takes me back to the summer. strike two.

love song to kevin smith

as zach and miri make a porno is poised to hit screens.
i feel it my humble duty to no one but myself to declare my love
for the short, fat and bush-wielding New Jersey native and his
love hymns to his home state.

that underlines all his films. sweetness. and romance. and pathos. and nostalgia.
i love silent bob and will never get bored watching him or hearing his pearls of wisdom, so sparingly given.
