DIRECTION

...it's from '6 Feet Under'


Did not watch the show ... but of course, I listen to the band that made this little song.

As I listen, I do think that I get good glimpse of the mood of the show. Who doesn't need a little direction every now and then?

One of the reasons that I feel squirrely is that I wish that I could chase the impostor that is uncertainty out of my mind. Sometimes, 'getting over myself' is easy ... right now, it hasn't been so simple.

Wouldn't mind channeling a lil' Walt Kowalski right now.




A VERITABLE PICK ME UP

Got a package today, in an Amazon.com box. First thought was that I ordered something and forgot that I did it!! (and yes, that is what you think it is ...) Instead, it was a gift, a fabulous book by Stephen King!! The book, 'Desperation' is one that I draw a lot of parallels from, much the same way a lot of adolescent boys see themselves in Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye', or how a lot of the teen girls are going ga ga for Stephanie Meyer's 'Twilight' books. When I read it again, I am sure that I will be posting about it.

Went out and was forward with someone of the opposite sex! Possibility always gets me excited. I am not one for sitting around and hoping that someone is delivered at my front door. In asking someone out, 'no' is so not the worst thing you could hear.

What do you do when they say 'yes'? No THAT'S when the fun begins!!

Nebraska's a little sore at me, because of my constant rehash over how 'for real' I am about moving to Nebraska. At first, I was like 'so?!?'. There are plenty of 'known, unknowns' floating about. Why shouldn't I be this way ... then I thought about why SHOULD I keep on like I was, and I couldn't come up with any reason as to why I would want to continue on beating that drum.

Part of it, has to do with the 'mission creep' I am experiencing. *sigh*, I guess it was inevitable. One has to do, what one has to do.

My movie, 'Slumdog Millionaire' did super at the Oscar's ... of course, I fell asleep and missed most of it. Glad that it did ... and I will have to see 'The Reader' at some time in the near future.

If things go well, perhaps Wednesday I will go see 'Frost-Nixon'. Some films I simply want to see in a theatre, for the experience. Lots of times, you 'bond' thru movies and you get to chat up people on the way out and enrich the experience. I can't forget the lady who would have the entire theatre weeping when I saw 'Antwone Fisher'. It was this big white lady, who started her sniffling early on.

Can remember thinking that she must have some personal stake in the movie, a son, or maybe it parallels something in her life. Whatever it was, she STRONGLY related to it, and it permeated the entire theatre. Don't think there was a dry eye in the house when it ended.

Ooh ... shaved my 'goat' this weekend, as well as the cheesy moustache that wouldn't attach to it. Just for something different. It will grow back, so I am not at all worried about it.

Well, I am going to finish re-reading 'Quiet Strength'. Oh, and sketch out my new personal paradigm (actually, I snickered at the corporate speak when I had to sit in on those crumbly meetings where I worked!). Take care all y'all!!
