Standard English:

About fucking time and all that, you know, director Roger Mathey remounts his excellent 2002 production based on the novel by Irvine Welsh. I'm warning you this isn't for everyone. It is two hours of crazy addicts getting high on heroin between shagging with naked females but not the men, (which is a bit of an insult for the chicks but what can you do), and harsh language. For those who already know what I'm saying and have not stopped reading this yet, then you just need to get up off of your ass and see it because it is a night of total licentious enjoyment.

The Man and the Image in "Undisputed Truth" by Kelly Hargraves

It seems Mr. Tyson has a lot of things he would like to get straight about what we all think we know about him. The vicious fighter that bit off a man's ear, raped women, a former cocaine addict and basically seems like the scariest man on earth who is not in jail. These are all what Tyson calls the "Undisputed Truth." He does not deny that any and all of this happened. He doesn't even really apologize. Instead he contextualizes...

This is a month for self-actualization. Realize your potential and aim high towards your goals. Get real about what you want instead of settling for what you've already got. Stop being lazy! Avoid undue complacency. Reaching for what you want may be straining, scary and uncomfortable but good stuff don't always come so easily so buck it up. Most signs will be super-charged, making tackling projects a cinch so long as we don't procrastinate or wait for inspiration to strike. Trust the method to the madness. Swim with the current, not against now.
