Jason+B’s+Final+AmEx+2014+Speech

= Title of Speech = The little things = Text of Speech =

 So I didn’t think this would happen to me, but I ended up having to switch topics 3 times. At first I wanted to talk about how people shouldn’t take everything so seriously. But when I started to write that one I just sounded like the Joker or the Comedian from Watchmen. “It’s all a Joke, it doesn’t matter, nothing matters”. At some point I actually used a Joker quote. That obviously wasn’t going to work. So if I can’t make my speech out of pure joke without looking a mad man, what am I going to write about. How about movies, I like movies, I plan on making a career with movies, I’ll talk about movies. So, I went around and asked people about their favorite movie and TV show (show list), and went home to talk about how my generation has terrible taste. But as I wrote that speech, I just started to sound like a prick. Who the hell (tear list) am I to judge you people on your favorite movie. In the America I want to grow up in, I don’t want people to judge each other, based on the little things. I say the little things, because if three people said there favorite movie is paranormal activity 2, which happened, then we should leave them alone. But if these same three people start holding up lemonade stands and driving on the sidewalk, I think we’re aloud to throw some harsh words their way. But the little things shouldn’t matter when you evaluate people. Example, when I asked someone their favorite movie, they couldn’t decide between Nightmare at the Museum, or Nightmare at the Museum 2. That person is my friend, Tyler (I have permission to use his name), he doesn’t like the Beatles. He’s still my friend. And I know for a fact that none of you see the Back to the Future Trilogy for the cinematic genius it is. You get the point. The little things shouldn’t be how judge a person as a whole. Like, let’s say you’re talking to someone you consider a friend and then they, I don’t know, start reading a comic book. Your first thought should not be “Oh no, this guy is a superhero nerd that probably knows more about the members of the Justice League then the names and locations of states.” You would be right, but that’s not the point. You shouldn’t let that ruin your perspective of your friend, because that’s just a little thing that shouldn’t matter. Now, I hate to admit this, but I’m not perfect. I’ve judged people because of small things too, remember my list. It’s really hard not to judge people on what kind of movies they like when movies are my life. Like when someone says they don’t like the Rocky movies, or when I talk about the Evil Dead movies, and people think I’m talking about that terrible remake. But I get past it, because those are just little things… to those people, I’m just trying not to look like a jerk. Now this speech is getting repetitive so let’s get a little more repetitive. In the America I want to grow up in, I don’t want people to judge the little things.  Also, Space Jam 2, Space Jam 2 would be good.
