Paranoid Recluse

Sometimes I think I want to live alone in a shack in the mountains for the rest of my life.
Sometimes I think I already do…

Question Mark for good measure.

I started a tumblr?
I don't know how I feel about that?
I will still be using blogger...
I don't know how I feel about tumblr.
Did I already say that?

Anyway.

"Challenge Everything"

No matter how tempting it is I will never stop thinking for myself. It is so simple to accept immediately what is fed to us by public opinion, media, friends, teachers, family members...and so on and so forth. But we must never accept anything too readily without first testing its truthfulness and merit personally.

I agree with Electronic Arts Games' (EA Games) slogan:

Parkalypse

I don't have a lot of time just now to update, but a friend shared this on facebook and I thought I'd pass the link along. Some very interesting photos of an abandoned 6 flags theme park in New Orleans, abandoned in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Super Taco

Well, today was a good day. Things looked bleak when the rain started, but my brother Evan and I decided to make the best of it. We went to Taco Bell and then to see Super 8 in theaters.

We had a bit of a drive from Taco Bell to the theater, so we ended up leaving really early and getting to the theater about an hour ahead of time. That was also because we were thinking about going to see Cars 2, but we both decided that we really wanted to see Super 8.

To kill our extra hour we went to the Wal-Mart down the road and hung out in the gaming section for the entirety of the time. I saw these in Wal-Mart though and thought they were interesting:


I wasn't sure whether I thought these were laughable or interesting. On the one hand they looked cool just because they were all pretty colors, but on the other hand....REALLY?!! lol.

Anyway, in the game section of Wal-Mart I spent some time mooning over the 3DS and wishing I could buy it, and Evan and I browsed the game selection. But we spent most of the hour in Wal-Mart playing Mario Baseball (actually Evan played, I watched).
It was a pretty cool and fun game.



At 7:30 we finally headed back to the theater and watched the film we came there to see: Super 8.
It was brilliant. I really, really enjoyed it. One of the best written movies, and most compelling I've seen in a while. Not since Tangled have I wanted to watch a movie immediately again after finishing it. The production quality was superb, and the action gave me chills. Most of the time seeing action I don't care all that much. This action had a specific purpose and a real impact.
The kids were very good too and the acting was phenomenal. I was also very pleased with the slow reveal of the movie. You don't know what's going on and it keeps you in the dark a long time so that it unfolds satisfactorily, rather than a really quick, cheap blockbuster reveal.
The writing I think is the best thing about this movie. It has all of the ear marks of a sci-fi extra-terrestrial film, but it is unpredictable, fresh, and original in the telling. In other words, it's just cliche enough and just original enough. I hope that I get to see it in theaters at least one more time...it's worth another $10. And it's one of those movies I want everyone I know to see.

Lonesome

You know how you can be around people, friends even, and still feel lonely?
Yeah, that's how I'm feeling right now.

I finished "Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince" Today.
It is by far my favorite book of the series, I think. I like them all really, but I especially liked this latest installment.
I started the last book of the series but I've only gotten about a page in.

I didn't really get to start the 7th book because I actually went somewhere today. It's shocking really. I mean, the rate at which I go out and see people is not very regular or often.
Perhaps this is why I'm lonely...but, no, it's more than that.

I think the Harry Potter books have an odd paradoxical effect on me. I love them, but I am simultaneously stressed out and depressed by them at times. I think that is probably because of the sense of impending doom about them. And the adventures are very exciting and fun, but everything is overshadowed by the fact that I am not really having adventures or seeing friends myself. I am wishing my life was more exciting and less lonely and trying to live through someone else, i.e. Harry Potter.

Not trying to sound so whiny and like such a loser. But the truth is that almost all the people I want to be with most are no longer in New Jersey. And again it goes beyond that.
