Immortality...

"Immortality will come to such as are fit for it; and he who would be a great soul in the future must be a great soul now." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.”

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

~Jedi Master Yoda

Stardust movie....my thoughts on it.

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 23:21:17 GMT

I realize adaptations are just that...adapted, but I was disappointed with the change in the tone of the story. The book was ageless, with a level of storytelling that was neither just for children or for adults, but both. The movie seemed to suffer from Hollywood's ever constant habit of adding "CUTE" to the story to make it appealing to younger and less attentive audiences. As much as I love De Niro, his character was so far over the top it was nowhere near the book. And the cliche confrontation at the end was pure Hollywood as well. The very ending with them living happily ever after was an acceptable change, but overall I found the movie to be anything but a faithful adaptation of Gaiman's work. I guess Neil has to settle for certain comprises to see his work on the big screen, but I'm sorry to see it so.

If you won $100 this afternoon, what would you do with it?

I would go get a haircut, get some groceries, and get dinner.

Personal mantra!

My rage knows no limits, my strength knows no bounds!
The power of ultimate destruction lies within me!
The power to wipe out an enemy, devastate an army, shatter entire
civilizations or obliterate the world!
I fear nothing!
I can be stopped by no one!
I am a law unto myself!
I am supreme!

You're not engaged -- yet

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 21:12:29 GMT

According to the Annual Review of Sociology, about 75 percent of cohabiting couples say they plan to marry their partners. Additionally, 55 percent of marriages today are preceded by cohabitation. But not every couple who live together are destined to walk down the aisle together. We interviewed a woman who assumed that moving in with her boyfriend was an engagement, but she never actually spoke to her boyfriend about it. When she found out he didn’t want to marry her, she was heartbroken. Like it or not, when you move in with your girlfriend, you're sending a message: "I'm ready to settle down." Unless you've made it clear that living together is not a formal engagement, she's likely to thikg there's a diamond ring in her immediate future.

"Murder May Boomerang"

Fri, 17 Nov 2006 17:11:19 GMT

There was an old EC story - "Murder May Boomerang" it ran In "Crime Suspense Stories" #1 (and later, in #19) - in which an old man was beaten and left for dead by an escaped convict that had found him alone in an old hunting cabin. The old man's son finds him crammed in a closet in his hunting cabin, broken, bleeding and delirious. The father tells his son that the convict took his hunting clothes. The son gets upset and wants vengeance - he tells his dad that he'll get him, he'll get that killer! Soon the two are seated in the son's car and are tearing around in the driving rain searching for the man. The old man points to figure walking in the rain wearing hunting clothes - "Son! There! He's the one! He's the one!" and the son stepped on the accelerator and plowed into the man, killing him in an instant. It was over. And yet, when the two stopped in front of a sheriff's office and a man in hunting clothes stepped out, waving to the sheriff the old man repeated himself - "Son! There! He's the one! He's the one!" and the horror of it all sunk in - his dad was out of his mind! He didn't know who had beaten him - he only knew that the man wore hunting clothes. The story ended with the son and father still driving - the son in shock, afraid to stop.

sleeping problems...

Fri, 20 Oct 2006 14:19:16 GMT

This morning after another night of not sleeping well, I'm clumsy. I'm
dropping things, I can't focus at all. Simple problems have me
completely struggling. I couldn't even figure out a routine problem
this morning. I haven't really gotten into a deep sleep all week, just
superficial stage-1 sleep, and I'm deprived. I feel like hammered shit,
literally. It's anxiety I guess, I don't know. I keep dozing in and
out of consciousness sitting at my desk. At times I don't even realize
my eyes are closed. It's bad.

I'm sick.

Fri, 06 Oct 2006 16:37:01 GMT

I feel like hammered shit.
I've got chills, I have a fever, sore throat, runny nose, sinus
pressure, headache, feeling rundown.

I'm also working a double shift today/tonight.

On the up side, I am dressed very well, black shirt, slacks, tie. I look like Grosse Point Blanke.
When I become rich I'm going to hire a very very hot nurse to take care of me on sick days.

Nightmare...

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 16:33:47 GMT

I had a dream I was in bed under the sheets waiting for something, and a
hooded skull figure slowly came over me and I could see it's face
through the sheet, and I was terrified and couldn't move, and it
started to reach for the sheet and my face. I don't often have
nightmares but the one I did have last night was terrifying.

Bowling scores

Went bowling last night.
My scores were 118, 99, 119. 143, 146, 143, 148 final score.
Not bad. Anyone want to bowl?

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

-Neil Gaiman

You are not so evil. You are overall a nice person, although I wouldn’t want to get on your bad side. You have an extravagant imagination.

Rainy Tuesday morning...

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 14:59:48 GMT

It's raining here. A nice steady heavy rain.
The sky is dark and overcast with rainclouds.
I listen to the song that reminds me of her and I still wonder why she hurt me.
I imagine her now, happy in her life with the things that she wanted.
I am alone, as I always thought it should be.
And it feels like it's supposed to.

Memorial Weekend....

Tue, 30 May 2006 14:14:43 GMT

So Memorial Day weekend turned out pretty good.
Saturday I went to Anderson, SC for the 25th annual "Freedom Aloft Weekend" where they had all these hot air balloons and crafts, rides, and music. This year they had some big name performers. I was able to see Jewel and Train!!! I was so thrilled I could have shat myself. I'm a huge Train fan and seeing them perform was one of the things on my 'must do in life' list. Jewel is so great to see in concert!!
Sunday they had Collective Soul, of which I am also a big fan. Their album 'Dosage' was the first CD I ever bought. But since I had to choose just one day to go, I picked Saturday. Oh well. Maybe next year.

The rest of the weekend I played nurse to Anna. She's been working so hard she got sick with a cold. Meds, fluids, and plenty of bed rest have got her feeling better now. :)
