There are some people LiS hates - and believe me, they freakin' deserve it - and there are some people LiS loves and one of the latter is Seth Rogen. Come ON! He's the Jewfro'd guy in the-movie-that's-so-funny-even-the-New-Yorker-had-to-write-a-piece-about-it-albeit-in-their-usual-pseudish-way, Knocked Up. Well, we loved him ever since espying his eager tip toe manoeuvre to shag the girl in the bath in 40 Year Old Virgin (you had to be there) but since one of his former classmates kindly posted Seth's high school yearbook message from back in the day on the web, well, it's astonishing this half of LiS hasn't already booked a flight to LA and forcibly marched that little monkey up the aisle.
To give a bit of background, Rogen had just appeared in a film by his future co-auteur, Judd Apatow, called Freaks and Geeks, so this boy KNEW that he was destined for better things than 12th grade trigonometry. And so, this was his parting message to his profs and fellows spods:
"Of the seventeen some odd years I've been alive, twelve of them have been spent doing schooling. That's about 71% of my life dedicated to learning a bunch of stuff that I will probably never use. Ever since I started earning more than my own teachers, everything kind of fell into perspective. If you do what you want instead of what other people tell you to do, things will probably work out better, and if they don't you'll at least know that you tried. I am accepting of the fact that I may very well never have another job and in time may have to burn this yearbook to keep warm. However, right now, if feelin' good were a train, I'd be the engineer. ALL ABOARD BABY!"
Seth, Seth, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow our mind!
