Inspiration

We watched "Notting Hill" tonight on TV. We don't usually watch theater releases when they are broadcast on the big four networks, but there wasn't much else on tonight. I hate how they break up the movies for commercials. It ruins the flow.

Anyway, I hadn't seen this one before, and I'm a sucker for a Julia Roberts movie, so we watched it. It was really good. Reminded me of the old days, when I dreamed of writing movies like it. I never did write the movies that yearned inside of me, but seeing this one struck a chord that hasn't been struck in a long time.

So now I have a new goal. Along with everything else that is going on in my life right now, I'm going to start writing again. It sort of started months ago with this journal. But now, I'm going to get serious. I'm going to make time for writing. When I can, right now. Then, a little every day. Eventually, I'll have a collection of writings. Maybe someday, I'll have something to sell. Whether or not I sell anything, at least I'll have something to show my kids. So they can see that their father did something that he felt he was meant to do. He followed his dreams.

No, it was more than this movie tonight. It was a number of things leading up to this moment. Desire. Frustration. Lack of expression. Wanting more from life. The ability to live on past my mortality. And the power of dreams.

Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. Things either are what they appear to be; or they neither are, nor appear to be; or they are, and do not appear to be; or they are not, and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man’s task. by texas hold'em

Judges and legislators seem frequently to have had quite insanely distorted views about what is a proper proportion between the crime and the punishment. For unfair, harsh and even positively barbarous practices have often enough been enshrined in law. Our moral reformer might back up his case with a short reading list, which could include, e.g. What Nearly Happened to Galileo; What Actually Happened to the Gunpowder Conspirators; A Short History of the Navy; For the Term of His Natural Life (by Marcus Clarke, 1874); and Oscar Wilde’s two letters to the Daily Chronicle (1897). by empirepoker

Religion is but a desperate attempt to find an escape from the truly dreadful situation in which we find ourselves. Here we are in this wholly fantastic universe with scarcely a clue as to whether our existence has any real significance. No wonder then that many people feel the need for some belief that gives them a sense of security, and no wonder that they become very angry with people like me who say that this is illusory. by free poker online
