  <default-description>Anything but boring, the creator of Jay and Silent Bob shares his x-rated thoughts in his diary, telling all in his usual candid, heartfelt and irreverent way!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lewd, crude and hilariously rude, Kevin Smith pulls no punches in this hard-hitting, in-your-face expos&#233; of, er, his rather dull and uneventful life&amp;#8230; well, not always dull. In between watching his TiVo, he manages to make and release &lt;i&gt;Clerks II&lt;/i&gt;, relate the story of his partner-in-crime Jason Mewes&amp;#8217; heroin addiction, get a tattoo, serve on a jury... and get caught stealing donuts from Burt Reynolds&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thrown in are his views on the perils of strip clubs, the drawback of threesomes, the pain of anal fissures, his love-affair with &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; and so much more! &lt;i&gt;Adults Only!&lt;/i&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[5/5/08- I'm not even 1/4 through as of yet. So far, though this book is pretty good. I find it interesting to see the back story of one of my favorite directors.

    <body><![CDATA[I love diary-entry style books, and I like Kevin Smith movies, so this was an easy read for me. As &quot;boring-ass&quot; as he thinks his life is, and as much as he talks about his bowel movements and how many tv shows he's watching at the moment, I found the book a fun read.

Most of the entries found within have been posted on Smith's blog, so if you follow that faithfully you've pretty much read the book already.<br/><br/>In between discussions of his bathroom habits an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11345438">more...</a>]]></body>
