- Condition One: Attack is present, or imminent. The CIC is locked down and the ship's commander is on station.
- Condition Two: Threat probable, but not present.
- Condition Three: This is the "all clear" alert, returning crews to their normal, day-to-day non-combat duties after Conditions One or Two. This is normal cruising during wartime.

Sometimes people smile because they are happy. Other times they smile because they survived.
Dec 18, 2009
I've always wonder it the people who write those "boy meets girl, some funny shit happens, boy loses girl, some more funny shit happens and, finally, boy recovers girl, via an elaborate and complicated way." type movie actually know what they're talking about. I mean the fact that they have a nerdy, sometimes virgin, main character, who has a really hot babe for a best friend and/or a fat, also nerdy, friend.
Now, this formula has been used successfully in the past, numerous times. "Say Anything", "Pretty in Pink", "Can't Hardly Wait", "Sexdrive", etc. Now, what's wrong with this picture is that, in my opinion, we've been deceived by the same formula over and over again. It could be the fact that the general movie going public like a true triumphant underdog story or it could just be that we like to be had, again and again and again.
A defining characteristic of these movie is that, in the end, the good guy gets the girl and the bad guy get his just desserts. Shit, if this were true, I'd be dating Megan Fox or something along those lines. I admit, when a movie is good, it brings pleasure to me. However, when the screen goes black, a certain sense of disappointment comes, because watch I just saw is not true. There is no girl that is gonna fall for me at the end of the movie, because she, along with every girl I know, goes for the bad boy. The guy who cheats on her constantly, who only calls her up for sex, who is incredibly jealous, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
Dammit. I hate the fucking holidays.
