Wounded a lion called OOS... 3:04AM
And so it has begun...
Last night I came home with Fi and had a bit of a snack on some of the nice food I had brought. We went out to roller hockey which was cool and at the end of it I managed to score my first goal. Yeah man, that was cool. So I came back on a little bit of a buzz and Gerry and I decided to get a video out. We pulled the couch out into the centre of the room, lights off, stereo sound on, duvet out, foot rest out and a bowl of cookies and cream, icecream with Kahlua over top. Damn fine stuff I say. The movie was ok, but a bit slow for me. I think I've worked out some of the things that make a movie for me. One of them is some one excelling at something. Look at the matrix, the dude can run round walls, or blade where he's super strong and can leap between buildings or Good Will Hunting where he's super intelligent. Things like this I like. Its got to be done right though.
Anyway I reckon if you listened to Nature Boy for a week or two you'd commit suicide. Its making me depressed.
I've wounded a lion today, and that lion was my OOS. Will talk about that later. Tonight is going to be big. We have an experiment underway, scientific like, to determine the exact effects of alcohol. I don't really want to do it, but its required I guess. Anyway only 2 hours left in the day..
A summary of my life in poetic form... (learning to love) 8:58AM
Unto this world, so cruel and harsh, was born a new mind, blank, to be writ upon as any man desired. And so for the first 5 years it was formed and shaped by the mold that created it. And then for the next 13 years it was taught in the ways of this world until it knew what was where and how it all worked. And only then was it set free upon this world to do its own bidding, a now free but naive mind, knowing not of the harsh realities of life. And so life took it upon herself to teach it, first loss and suffering so that it may know empathy, then she taught it how to drink, so that it may relax and learn to enjoy life through conversation, dancing and partying. Next it learnt the value of fittness of body and mind and it set off down the path of the becoming. Confidence followed naturally, the shedding of all fears and inhibitions and finally life taught it one more lesson. How to love and how to be humble. Life stood back and looked at her handy work. This mind is almost complete she thought, almost...
