Do I have an original thought
in my head? My bald head?

:00:19

Do I have an original thought
in my head? My bald head?

:00:21

Maybe if I were happier,
my hair wouldn't be falling out.

:00:24

Life is short. I need
to make the most of it.

:00:28

Today is the first day
of the rest of my life.

:00:32

I'm a walking cliché.

:00:34

I really need to go to the doctor
and have my leg checked.

:00:36

There's something wrong.
A bump.

:00:38

The dentist called again.
I'm way overdue.

:00:40

If I stopped putting things off,
I'd be happier.

:00:44

All I do is sit on my fat ass.
If my ass wasn't fat, I'd be happier.

:00:47

I wouldn't have to wear these shirts
with the tails out all the time.

:00:51

Like that's fooling anyone.

:00:52

Fat ass. I should start jogging again.
Five miles a day.

:00:56

Really do it this time.
Maybe rock climbing.

:00:59

I need to turn my life around.

:01:01

What do I need to do?
I need to fall in love.

:01:04

I need to have a girlfriend.

:01:05

I need to read more,
improve myself.

:01:08

What if I learned Russian
or something?

:01:09

Or took up an instrument?
I could speak Chinese.

:01:12

I would be the screenwriter who
speaks Chinese. And plays the oboe.

:01:16

That would be cool.
I should get my hair cut short.

:01:19

Stop trying to fool everyone
into thinking I have a full head of hair.

:01:22

How pathetic is that?
Just be real. Confident.

:01:25

Isn't that what women
are attracted to?

:01:27

Men don't have to be attractive.

:01:29

But that's not true,
especially these days.

:01:31

Almost as much pressure on men
as there is on women these days.

:01:34

Why should I be made to feel I have
to apologize for my existence?

:01:37

Maybe it's my brain chemistry.

:01:39

Maybe that's what's wrong with me:
Bad chemistry.

:01:42

All my problems and anxiety can be
reduced to a chemical imbalance...

:01:45

...or some kind of
misfiring synapses.

:01:47

I need to get help for that.

:01:49

But I'll still be ugly, though.

:01:51

Nothing's gonna change that.

:01:52

Shut up!

:01:53

Shut up!

:01:56

Let's really try today
to solve our camera problems.
