The Skeptic's world
You look forward to stuff, and then it ends. Then you look forward to more stuff, and that ends too.
The Optimist' world
You look forward to stuff, and then it ends. Then you look forward to more stuff, and that ends too.
I watched a great movie the other day, Switchback. Danny Glover, Dennis Quaid and Jared Leto were in it. I'd never heard of it - it was made in 2000 I think - but it was really good, and I caught it for free on satelite, a rare treat! It's a fairly straight foward serial killer movie but it's so well written and nicely paced that it really delivers!
Today, my return journey from work took me 2 hours and a half! But it didn't feel like it at all. The reason being.....iPod!!Oh yeah, and the great book I'm reading a tthe moment by Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Honestly, it's a fantastic book. I'm going to describe it in one sentence : An erotic, metaphysical tale of a man's search for reality in the face of an ever spiralling series of mysterious events, all of which gradually and painfully force the protaganist to challenge the foundation on which his life is based. And there's this bird that winds up the world....still trying to work out the metapohor in the title...
