popcorn movie of the weekend, even though it's not the weekend: NOT Batman Begins
song of the week: "Price To Pay" by Staind
(my Batman Begins review)
As you may or may not have figured, I keep a real journal elsewhere. And since I have nothing new or amusing to say right now, I'll just put a snipet from an entry here.
Lately (about a year or so) I've been entertaining the thought of me not having my own personality. What people see is the sum of countless hours of television programing, along with quotes from movies and people more interesting than myself. What balances that garbage out are also all the "old wise man" sayings and dozens of first-hand life lessons.
And also the fact that through most of those life lessons, I had made contemporized old wise man sayings to tell peers with problems of their own, without knowing that some old wise man from the BC era was already quoted in books for saying it first. I'm not totally sure how to feel about that. It only attests to the fact that nobody can be completely original anymore. In this technological day and age, history can only repeat itself. And I'm sure somebody from ancient wherever has already thought or said the same thing. And somebody before him/her.
But I'm digressing. It's because of this balance that I can function almost seamlessly in any given social situation, if I wanted to, and thus shows people how intelligent I truly am. I'm grateful for that, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm still alone.
HA! I got ejected from fight club. How about that. And just when I was getting the hang of offending people on here.
they sound like a bunch of pricks, at any rate.
