I apologize again. However, there is something that I've managed to make even while I've been burdened by Work and Failure to Achieve. It's a quiz, 50 questions on excel, and it's sweet. I'll upload it when someone explains to me how to get it up correctly, because Google Docs only uploads half of all the formulas.
Anyways, I'm almost done watching Into the Wild. I hate to be an advocate of any R rated movie, and I apologize for suggesting that you watch perfect movies like Fight Club, Pan's Labyrinth, American History X, and Sunshine. Some of these movies are just existential enough to be watched for their inherit truth, although imperfect in presentation. When a movie, as Jeff Martinez has defined, can make you step back, view the world in a different light, and change the way you live then it is worth seeing. I completely agree. Into the Wild is one of those movies.
***disclaimer: Get the edited version if you find one.***
I feel selfish, materialistic, and burdened from self-imposed criteria and societal standards. I'm political enough to make an argument when an issue is brought up, and I completely agree with the need for an organization of society and participation in it, but sometimes a good excursion into nature and an appreciation for the natural beauty of the earth and God's creations can do wonders.
That's why I liked going out to North Carolina so much. Getting to walk around in the mountains was awesome. Anyways, life: appreciate it.
P.S. I was reading comments on the movie on IMDB and I can't help but think a few things.
1. People (at least vocal internet users) have developed a severe case of ADD.
2. Art, beauty, and self-adventure hold little interest to casual movie viewers.
3. People would much rather argue via name-calling and profanity than with logical points.
P.P.S. I can't tell if anyone reads this and cares, so leave a comment if you want any more posts.
