So Happy?

Okay. I've been thinking about "being happy" recently and what that really means.

I think people around me have been observing my behavior and my actions and have been concerned if I'm happy or in-touch with my obligations. To this I must address my current conscience status.

I believe that I'm doing well. I'm currently in a spot where I'm both secure and be able to move on in a moments notice.

Back when I was more ego driven, I would always feel as though I couldn't play the game (of life). As though life were a chess game, I felt I couldn't play, but because I was overwhelmed with the pressure of playing, I was always worried how to make the next move.

Now I know that I can play, and that I've been playing, and that I will win.

Let me get back to my point.

When people ask "How's it going?" or "How are you"? I've never been able to give an accurate portrait of how I feel and I'm always stupefied to stop and think about it.

This all leads to the absorption of the current moment. A lot of people associate happiness to what they've accomplished, accumulated, amassed, etc. in their life, to their feelings about themselves. This leads to making feelings about yourself. (Feelings are made, not natural).

So, when you ask, "How are you"? I add my current "wealth" to what I associate as to being what's important. And what is important is what makes you happy, right?

What is important? Being in the moment. (My point. *ding* *ding* *ding*)

Rationally absorbing the emotions you experience from one given hour of the day to the next is important. I now recognize when I'm experiencing emotions, rather than giving myself over to my emotions.

This is a monumental break-through. It is freeing, while also making you feel guilty that others can't see yourself acting in a way that's best for you.

I know I'm fortunate enough to have vocal enough people in my life to raise their concern for me, and bring those concerns to me. This questioning of my status helps to reflect on my current reality and center myself. That is why there is meant to be more than one person on the planet, not to better the unit, but to better the individual. Thus bettering the whole.

These are all very big break-through's. Be impressed.

I just wrote a novel.

The Dark Knight

Alright, I'll admit it, I've been slacking when it comes to writing this review. It's been a week since I've seen this film and words absolutely fail me.

I think the reason why the Batman franchise failed in the 90s was because it was taken out of the hands of its creator, Tim Burton, and took a 180 degree turn. Burton definitely was taking the character to the place where mass audiences could understand the character of Batman. Sadly, it was given to Joel Schumacher and began resembling the 1960s Batman television series, a comical, satirized version of a kids cartoon book.



But then came this new incarnation of Batman on screen by Christopher Nolan, and the audience is introduced to a much darker, and thus more relatable, character. This Batman took his guilt and pain from his parents death and made it his mission to destroy evil by becoming a symbol of something evil would fear.

The Dark Knight picks up where Batman Begins left off. But this time, Batman is a sensation in Gotham City. A hero who's imitated and feared. Until, that is, an opposing force rises to the occasion to challenge "The Batman".

Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is untouchable and is something that should be seen. This was a great thinking actor who treated the character as real as you or I.




And this gets to my point about every actor in this franchise. I believe the filmmakers and the actors they have chosen have given great respect and attention to something that could have easily become a farce.

All actors have an understanding that these characters are humans, no superpowers, and are driven by different philosophies and motivations.



My hats off to Christian Bale and Gary Oldman for expanding upon characters very well-tuned into in the first film.

Kudos and praise to Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart, as Two-Face, for creating real characters with relatable drives.




Beautiful and well-crafted work of art. Rumors run rampant on the interweb that Johnny Depp is being sought after to play the Riddler in the next film. Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penquin. Perhaps Catwoman too? F*** YEAH! ***A***

I Can See Through Bullshit

I love me some Barack-e-Poo, but home-boy came to rural, southern (not northern or eastern, or heaven forbid, central) Missouri. And in his speech Barack says, "Missourah."

I was livid. But then I thought about it. Barack knows. That hunk of black Panther knows it's "Missouri", he's just playing the game of politics. The game? Get voters who wouldn't normally vote for you to vote for you. How? By making them think you're one of them. "Look I'm just like you, 'Missourah!', I'm common as get-all!"

Oh, Barack-ie. You go get 'em!

We Are But Her Pawns!

AHahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Today I was watching Oprah and Chris Brown was on doing some good deed she demanded and he performed on her show. Or should I say she performed for Oprah. Seriously, it was like watching a queen in her court, her subjects around her, with the jester jumping around doing something musical. And the funniest part was when she stretched out her arms and while clapping like a queen says, "Oh my I am so amused by these silly clowns." (Just imagine Oprah as a Victorian British woman.

Wow, I thought it was funny, but then again I have a British woman stuck in my head all day.

But seriously, we have made her our queen. Queen Oprah. People go ape-shizzle for her. Long live the Queen!

Here's the clip. You can barely notice it, but look closely at Oprah at the end of Chris Brown's performance. Warning: the video is janky.

A Love Letter!

Dear Boys,

Yes, to boys. All men over 30 need not apply. Men under 21, grow up.

I love you. It's true. You who walk alone on the street. You who walk with your other bros down the street headed to drunkville. I. Love. You. Be not scared for it is I who begs on thy knees for thee.

I feel like Carrie Bradshaw when she had a dream where she walks up to complete strangers and kisses them.

I am this horny. I fear for the safety of our nation's men.

Sincerely,

The Insincere
