@ the movies +something extra

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 22, 2008, 10:35 PM





find the joy
I decided yesterday that i needed a day out of the house; So what do i do? I take myself to the movies. First up was The Bucket List (trailer). I'll be the first to admit; that occasionally i get emotional in some movies. This one was just the sort to do iit. Not bawling my eyes out emotionally; but certainly a little welling in the corners. Having Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman in the movie was a great thing; The two have great chemistry, I dont think the movie would have had the same impact if it werent for these two. It could wait until DVD; but either way I think it's a must see.

What would be three things that would make it to your Bucket List?


live for nothing, or die for something

Having almost 2 hours to kill before I had to be elsewhere; I decided to further enjoy the air conditioning in the Cinema and see another. Rambo (trailer); was just starting trailers as the previous one finished. I'd like to thin myself accustomed to violence and gore; but i guess i was mistaken. Maybe it was because it was realistic human on human gore which made it that much more intense; it made me cringe a few times. Very basic plot, which was expected actually; and just a little too short imo. It was a good time killer though.


I’ve just had an apostrophe

Smee: I've just had an apostrophe.
Captain Hook: I think you mean an epiphany.
Smee: Lightning... just struck my brain.
Captain Hook: That must've hurt.



Those who know me; know that more than anything I don't want to grow up. I have for the better part of a decade coasted thru life; for better of worse going wherever the stream has taken me.

Having not really wanted for much; I haven't necessarily needed to work. Doing so, only when the boredom became to much to bare. It did strike a few times. .

As for study; I don't like being taught. Never much did. In fact i didnt do all that well in High School. I passed, but i know for a fact i didn't "actualize my potential"; as i was often reminded by several teachers.

At this point it may appear that I have no drive in life; no ambition; no will to be.
Not true at all. For someone in my position I have experienced a great deal; essentially being a student of the universe.

For about a year now; the thought has been running through my mind to jump into studies again. It was just a matter of figuring out what; and then diving in. Nothing took my fancy for the longest time; until reluctantly I decided graphic/web design. I believe that I know enough now; but that piece of paper makes a world of difference to potential employers. Then i moved; so i pushed it back again.

Another thing known by those around me; is that I procrastinate like no one else. So i kept pushing it back; perhaps even purposely missing enrollment dates. The new year rolled over; and I had atleast 4 months until i had to think about it again.

Sleepless thought filled nights; had me at my lowest point recently. So i decided the next morning i would find something and enroll.

And that's when my apostrophe epiphany struck.

I decided upon Journalism. I write a lot; I mostly write for others to read. It will open a few new doors for me; some of which, i've been wanting to see what was on the other side a while now.

My course work arrives start of next week; and this will be what i put myself into for the next 18 months. It wont just sit there either. Not this time.



yummy thumbs

My bucket list? :D
1. Qualify to the RAF and actually enjoy my job
2. Live with someone who means the world to me, never particularly wanted a husband but I would love to live with people rather than be on my own
3. See the world
