Totally Frightening

Thank God this is fake.

Long Weekend

Conventional wisdom says that the weekend is when you unwind and relax. I guess conventional wisdom isn't all that wise (or maybe it was just on holiday). Between Friday evening and Sunday afternoon I spent 23 hours working...and only 11 hours sleeping. I have been in a constant state of tired/sore for a few days. To end the weekend, however, I'm going to go see "Sucker Punch" with some people.

Battle: Los Angeles

 

I saw this film this week. I won't give a full review, but I will say it was a pretty awesome film. I laughed, I cried, I did both within minutes of each other, and my heart was beating pretty fast throughout the entire film. I would definitely recommend seeing it. Also, between this film and Batman: The Dark Knight, I have to say I like Aaron Eckhart as an actor.

Celery

I thought this was hilarious...and unexpected.

Time to change my diet.

Foreboding

You know that feeling you get when you feel something is about to happen? That mix of anxiety, dread, and suspense? I felt that this past Monday. I was out running a few mid-afternoon errands. When I was walking to a particular bus stop, the feeling hit me. It was this sense that I was going to cross paths with a particular person. I have had this feeling before, but I usually chalk it up to wishful thinking. This time however, it was stronger, and I couldn't just shake it. I stood at the stop for a few minutes and when I saw it coming in the distance, there he was. The person that I some sixth sense told me I would see just appeared. At first when I saw him, I thought it was some random guy (he had gotten a haircut sense the last time I saw him some weeks before). It wasn't until our eyes locked that I realized it was him. If that wasn't surprising enough, he actually took off his head phones and talked to me. It was a brief encounter. Nothing life-changing or earth-shattering was said. Yet, the thought of it lingers. I'm pretty much starting in the middle (or maybe the end) of that saga, so anyone reading this wouldn't really get the significance of it. There will be more to it at a later date.

On a far shallower note, this is why when ever I'm out in public, no matter how briefly, I try to look presentable. You never know who you will cross paths with, and it may be someone in front of whom you don't want to look like a hobo. I have learned that lesson the hard way in the past. Luckily, this time, I took heed.

Genesis

I suppose there are a multitude of reasons that people start blogs. Some to reach out to others in need. Some because they are the ones in need. Some for money. For myself, it is because over the last few months, I have had a million things going through my mind. Some people who are in this situation talk through it. I'm not a talker (except when I need to be). I am far better at getting thoughts and feelings out through writing. So here I am, and here we begin...
