Saved, No Mother Teresa
Filed under: Media
I just got back from seeing Saved, surprisingly still in theaters considering it has done just over 8 million dollars in the domestic box office as of yesterday according to Box Office Mojo. I didn't take my wife because she thought it would be a mockery of God and everything holy, not to mention she was having a mother/daughter dinner with several of her friends and their mothers.

Old People Are Socks in a Drawer
Filed under: Big Ideal
How can we tap the knowledge of older people? They know so much, but they sit at home like socks filed in a drawer. I want to write a book about connecting generations.

Fahrenheit 911... Uncut?
Filed under: Media
I took the day off work today; we have a Kiwi friend from New Zealand in town and Jamaica's mom is arriving tomorrow. I mentioned the idea of seeing the new Michael Moore film, Fahrenheit 911, and was vetoed immediately. "I am not seeing that movie!" were the words from my open-minded, culturally relevant, politically astute wife. My intention, I assured her, was not to go Bush-bashing with the rest of the moviegoers, but to be aware of what is being suggested or propagated so that our response to it will be informed; not fed from right wing talk show hosts or people who wear swastikas.

Why Shouldn't I Work for the NSA?
Filed under: Media
I caught a little bit of Good Will Hunting last night. This is such a fine movie loaded with depth and conversation. I love Will's response to the NSA agent wanting to hire him. The NSA agent just gets done going over the reasons why Will should work for them, and ends with the reverse question, "Why shouldn't you work for the NSA?"

Hey Me: Take a Chill Pill
Filed under: Media
I need to learn how to rest. For the last 38 hours, I had nothing that needed to be accomplished. My wife is out of town. I had no looming deadlines. No house to clean (already done). No laundry to wash (the basket just isn't full enough). Of course there are plenty of things on my "get-a-round-to-it" list, but for all intents and purposes, my time was officially free; a rarity that occurs about as often as Hailey's Comet. So I decided to use my time unlike I ever had before and did nothing. This is hard for me. I'm a thinker, a dreamer, a planner. I'm the guy who thinks about the next big thing to tackle in life and then get depressed because I find other people doing it better than I ever could.
