Tombstones

Poncho:

I have been eating a lot less lately. The thought about people starving to death has been going through my mind more than ever. Going out that way is not something I want to experience but if you think about it, all of us are starving. This brings back a quote that I learned in economiccs last semester. "In the end we all starve to death." How true is that? In death, everyone is starved from something. Not just in the physical way either. Mentally someone could be dying from something they don't have. Answers to their questions. The possibilites are endless.

I think this quote would be a good thing to have on my tombstone but it is just not original enough for me. In my movie, I am going to have this scene of a character walking through a cementary reading quotes like these on old tombstones. Another quote I want to add in there is "All god's creatures die alone." The scene is going to have a real morbid mood. Which I think is suiting for a place of death.

One more thing, I don't drink water out of tap because it is contaminated.

Nothing, Nothing at All

Sometimes there is just absolutely nothing to do. I watched more television in the past two days than I have all summer. It has been nice sitting around and doing nothing, but the more I lay around the more worthless I feel. Well at least I am feeling. So therefore I am not dead. Man I am glad I figured that out. You know what I found funny today? How people like to look at themselves as they walk by something that reflects their image. I was sitting on a bench before class this morning just watching people walk by like I usually do. Behind me was a glass that reflected light at a dark tint. I mean you could barely see yourself in it. I guess it was enough for people to make them want to watch themselves walk by. I sure liked watching everyone walk by. Its not too long before I become captain. Until then though...

Was this meant to be?

There has always been one thing that has always puzzled me a little bit. That thing is free will. Is it really possible that everything is already laid out before us? As we live in the moment, it seems to be that we do have the choice. I know that I believe that I am control of everything I do but is this merely an illusion? I always try to figure it out but I can never come to any logical explanation of if we do have free will or if we don't. It is the past that makes free will so hard figure out. I mean you can't change the past. You have already made a choice and you can't change that. So if we were able to travel back in our past, wouldn't we just do the same thing that already has happened since it has already happened? By traveling in the past, I don't mean any Back to the Future stuff. I am talking about jumping back to a time in your past where you are you, and you are the only you. There you would have no free will. For the future, you can only make one choice so basically there is only one way to go. What you choose is your future and if you only can make one choice there could only be one set path. I don't like that. I like to be in control of my life. I really don't know. I think I am just confusing myself more and more as I keep talking about it.

Think I am going to stick around.

This place will take some time to learn how to modifiy it the way that I exactly want to. At least I made some progress today. On another note, I watched the Royal Tenenbaums for the fifth time today. I can't get enough of that movie. I think the thing about is that it really makes me question life. Which is a good thing in my opinion. It makes me appreciate it so much more. Even if all I am doing is sitting in outside doing absolutely nothing. The movie also keeps me motivated on one of my dreams. To direct a movie. Eventhough I doubt it will ever happen but maybe one day. I have a great idea for a movie. Well it is a semi-idea. Just have the basic theme of the movie. I still am trying to decide on what characters to place in my movie. Hopefully one day I will finish the movie which is about a lost character who is out on his own for the first time. I plan on pointing out all of society's downfalls. Each character will represent a certain downfall or maybe in someone else's opinion it might be one of the great qualities in our society. Hopefully one day you will be the one to decide...

My blog is born...

I don't know if I really want to keep this as my blog. I would rather design and edit my blog on my own time but I don't think that I will have the aviable free time that is required to do so. I guess for know this will do. The rest of my day I am probably going to mess around with a design that I might like better. Hopefully I can come up with something since I rather have some unique. I like my creations better than anything else. Plus there are probably about thousand people who have this same layout. I think this service is nice and very easy to use. I could save lots of time and still be satisfied with it. Well lets see how the day goes.
