Saw 88 Minutes today.

Awful, awful movie.

And Al Pacino officially looks like a crazy man. Who can’t seem to stop touching girls in the movie.

I kept giggling when they would show a one shot of him standing there, looking far off with his hair wild, like some schizophrenic homeless guy who’s suddenly realized he’s naked in front of the Queen at the ball. Near the end of the movie, this guy in front of me kept turning around to laugh with me every time they showed him with that crazy look.

The movie didn’t even make sense. I hate it when movies leave out the details that allow them to flow or when things are ridiculous and contrived.

My point. If you spend money on this movie, don’t say I wasn’t a good citizen by trying to warn you.

The Strong Belief that This Is Just the Beginning

there are special people in this world who serve very specific roles.

you can find them in the most unusual places but always places that experience high traffic of “travelers.”

they have the ability to inject color into otherwise gray lives, suddenly awakening the sleepwalkers or providing moral support for weary travelers. sometimes they put people on life-changing paths. sometimes they are just sign posts.

sometimes, these people salvage lives.

we should be thankful for them and keep an eye out for them in these strange but completely necessary places. be careful not to be fooled by the wolves who pretend to be them. while these special people may not consciously be aware themselves, they represent something bigger, a place where you, i and every conscious being on the planet connect. and sometimes, stopping to ask for directions becomes the key that unlocks something completely new.

Back off of Josh Howard. Seriously, what’s the big deal. It can actually benefit some people, while there’s a more dangerous substance that’s legally acceptable.

today’s realization:

there’s great value in stealth.

No man, woman or child can tell me they have balls until they’ve watched this video and can say, “Eh. That was nothing.”
