yo ho ho and a bottle a' rum....
which reminds me, i used to be a prolific consumer of cheap 20-ringgit rum... i think after half a bottle i would be in a different state of being laaa. if anyone of you had seen me in those days - please erase such memories, replace with happy thoughts of butterflies flitting among fragrant-smelling mango trees. and the such.
was watching THE HOURS last night. it's a good movie! they had some big names putting out good performances. and the inherent depression, suicidal tendencies, and alienation, just kept me glued...
alienation and despondency in this big sprawling modern world seems a favourite topic among film-makers, like our very own James Lee, whose characters all seem detached from the real world and living their lives in a slow downward spiral... sounds like how i used to feel back in the day of cheap rum (see above).
the world around us does seem to be going at F1 speeds of 300 kmh and above while our little meandering existences are going at a rural 35 kmh... so much movement, energy, activity. is it a surprise so many people are going nuts and have one mental illness or another? the need to be individual, and at the same time coerced into conformity to the rat race.
thursday... futsal at 6pm... swimming after that... life as i make it to be... can it be better?
love n peace.
