Feel like Harry Potter

Riding the Austin metro rail today. I never imagined what an incredible feeling it is to just sit back and look at the wonderful views. Hills, trees, creeks, life, these things passing by in these giant windows. There is a young man entertaining the crowd with job hunting anecdotes. Ppl reading their novels next to me.
The best analogy to tell you how I feel, is by reading JK Rowling's Harry Potter. The descriptions the words all seem to come to life here on this train today.
I feel that it also brings me back to that summer when I was 6 and my great grandma, my great grandma took me to Valparaiso and we sat together telling stories about beach times during their era. Bringing back memories is just awesome.
We live in an over-interactive world, and just sitting back and letting the world pass as you look, is just wonderful.

Jsa - Joint Security Area movie thoughts

​ JSA, wow what a movie! I typically don’t really care for overly macho movies, and for sure not constant-tension movies, but I still find that this movie has a lot to offer about the point of borders, enemies, and the brainwashing that happens on opposing border lines. It is a movie that shows that, as vulnerable little humans, we have pride, fear, loneliness, boredom, and the pursuit of a friend’s love.  Sometimes the extremes that one must go to protect that love and to protect the appearance of peace, and that sometimes lies are the most humanitarian thing one can do.  Park-Chan Wook knows the warmth and sheer ice-coldness of any man’s heart and he articulately puts it on display.  To show you that no matter what your illusion of control you have, you are nothing but a puppet of circumstance. 8/10

Top Gun Maverick Still Reckless and Fun

Imag e Credit:  image credit   Last night  my family and I watched the timeless classic where a 54 year old who is in unholy good shape , probably by blood transfusion from olympic athletes decided to keep the same job for 30-40 years and refuses all attempts at promotion. Wait, the job part of the story is hitting me a little closer to home than I like. Anyhow he is still the best at what he does , yeah we are tommy. Somehow he has the reflexes of a Korean Starcraft2 players with 5 espresso shots and is brought to run a suicide mission where he has been asked to teach these overhormonal kids on how to beat the odds. Unfortunately for him this is also a therapy session for his estranged pseudo-nepher Rooster who is the son of Maverick’s long lost best friend Goose (yeah cant make this stuff up) where is is trying to make up for accidentally killing the kids father by being fearless and reckless.  So the way he will save the kids' life is by using the same dis...
