Random Rantings

Good Morning my babies!

Is everyone rested this morning? Did we all have our cheerios for breakfast? Good. It's said a positive start to the day is always a good thing.

Why then do I read the paper first? It takes away my appetite. Jim Morrison was right darlings, people ARE strange. And mean. And downright stupid. When a bad guy dies doing a bad thing, well, that's just Mother Nature thinning the herd. What is it called then when an innocent dies because a bad guy is doing a bad thing? Is it the universe struggling to maintain the balance? For every bad one, a good one must go too? Naively, I'd hoped we'd eventually get rid of the bad ones--most of them anyway. Makes me wonder if we'll kill each other off before we kill the planet. To be re-born means something must die. Perhaps all life as we know it must end in order for Mother Nature to heal herself and her surroundings.

But, back to the idiots of the world.

There are too many of them.

Now, onto other things.

We watched a really good movie last nite. Have you seen Charlie Wilson's War? See it. I like movies that make you think, and this one does. On one hand it was a bit of a "feel good" film, but if you really pay attention to what's going on underneath and if you have any interest in politics at all, you'll see past the glossy cover. Well written, well directed, well acted....well liked. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is brilliant as always. He plays this jaded, cynical and pretty much disillusioned CIA agent with such aplomb, making the brash, politically incorrect character absolute likable. Nice to see Tom Hanks scale his usual frenetic exuberance back a bit too. Charlie Wilson is no saint, yet Hanks manages to pull off the larger-than-life character without being larger-than-life. The ending is not a Hollywood Happy Ever After either. It's bittersweet and sad. See this film babies. Watch it twice.

Then pick up the paper. You'll see it for yourselves. Nothing changes, there are still idiots in the world.

Too many of them.
