As the sun shone bright on my face through the Blue Line train windows this morning, I gots to thinking. Yeah RFO, it's one of those existential posts. First, let's bring back the death clock - I know y'all missed it. Find out when ya gonna cash in your chips kiddies right hrrrr.
Along with perception, I often think about how much time I spend (in no particular order, but be assured that some items listed are more important to C$ than others) thinking bout, music, sweet lovin', not gettin' enough sleep, the world cup, the Tribe and blog posts. Lord knows the list is longer, but I am too tired to think of more. It all boils down to one simple fact - there is so much to learn in this world and we get about five minutes to learn it - not fair.
I suppose this thought is both disheartening and yet, provides buoyancy. But, really C$, why you having these thoughts? Simple.
Tony is still recovering in the hospital, but he is getting back to his old self after Junior's senility resulted in a shot to T's belly. Still, Tony's brush with the other side has him stewing and searching for some previously unsought answers. We underestimate the wind and what it teaches, this much I already knew, but Tony had to learn this lesson.
Plus, upon watching a fight he learns from a wizened old fella that boxing is a metaphor for all of us and this thing we call life. And then a new idea was introduced to C$. At least in a way he could wrap his head around. Oh my. The old fella supposed that the fighters are not opposed - this proposes a duality in the world that I had previously clung to in order to explain the ways things works. It's a comfy theory. But the old fella likened the fighter to two tornado's - combined energy - that's us - and everything else in the world.
Hmmm...Everything is everything... said another dood in the room. Could be? Hell maybe it's both - duality and energy and dark expansion (pictured) all wrapped up into a Cannoli. Chew on it and lemme know.
In the meantime rok and I do stress ROK Spektrum's "Horny Pony" I like this track so much I wanted to keep it all to myself, but I am a sharer. There is no other track today, this one stands alone.
C$, I was wondering if you have ever seen I Heart Huckabees. I thought it was a pretty funny movie and that Marky Mark was hilarious. The reason I ask is not because I think that you will listen to my movie recommendation. You have clearly proven that is not the case. Rather, I mention it because it presents the exact same idea that Hal Holbrook presented in The Sopranos last Sunday, but with better illustration and with a counterpoint. Check it out (yeah right).
C$, thanks for the refreshing blast of existentialism. I feel better now, knowing that when we clash it is not as opposing forces. I would never want to oppose you.
Thunder, maybe you should strap c$ down, tape his eyes open and put the movie in for him. it's the only logical way i can think to get him to watch what you want him to watch.
Thunder, nope, I haven't seen the I heart Huckabees, but I will put it right next to Unleashed. And for the record, you and Dale need to dial it back. I take recomendations, it's just I don't belong to Blockbuster, so I need the stupid library to open at the end of my street. Then I will see said movies.
[2] You are very welcome RFO. And yes, we are all tornados . So, Don't worry, we can equally smash trailer parks with swift and cruel destruction.
