Well, over the past several days I have been thinking about writing about Big Picture kind of stuff - like, why do people blog, the I'm here, I exist, I mean something kind of thinking, that I am sure almost all the six and a half billion people on the planet try to express as I do - or the fact that I am putting some stuff together in my head, of what I want and require, and was thinking of writing up a manifesto or something...
But instead, I am bouncing away happily here to the CD in the player - Fatboy Slim's Best Of, especially Weapon of Choice. Which I actually thought would be the only thing tacked onto the singles from You've Come A Long Way Baby - but we do have the dance versions of Brimful of Asha and Groove Armada Shakin That Ass - as well as the DVD of the videos. How could I go past it when it had the videos attached :)
And that of course comes on top of watching a top notch movie - well, maybe not in the same league as Schindler's List or something, but I quite enjoyed watching The Break Up, nice observations on a disintegrating relationship - some laughs, some spots closer to the bone than I expected (friendly guy who doesn't let anyone in extra close, sound familiar?). As well as one great trailer - Thank You For Smoking, anything with Rob Lowe looking sleazy is half way good - Austin Powers, Waynes World come to mind. But really, my movie watching schedule has gone to crap the last few months.
And got a book with an intriguing premise - that it snows for a year straight and the world is covered with three miles worth of permafrost. Was in the sci fi section of the bookstore, but not written in your usual over-wordy geek speak. Am already in a long way, and feel that it will be one of my read in two or three days books - in a good way of course.
So, the personal manifesto and analysis of human need and such will have to wait until later. I am working through a lot in my head though, so I am making progress - just a shame that I need to get motivated for my photography thing again, everything else on the net I can take or leave, but photography I feel I need to immerse myself in to really enjoy it.
Oh god, just felt I sounded like that weird kid in American Beauty - with a three minute portion of a plastic bag skipping around in the wind. A lot of good moments in that movie, the plastic bag was not, repeat not, one of them. But one thing there was right out of that movie, there is a lot of beauty on this planet, if you look for it.
I'll get my way out of the ugliness, the why botheredness of the past wee while soon, I promise.
