A word on Writing

I'm watchin me some lotr. I don't know what to think... when I was in high school a priest talked to us about the film and its relation to the bible. I'm thinking... ok whatever, where da white wimmen at? Then at my other high school, one day when I was kinda fucked up beyond belief, I don't know whether it was real or not, but I was in the library and lotr was playing on all the tvs. Now I downloaded it and I'm watching it fo shizzle to pass the time as I stay the hell away from porn.

I don't give a frig about the visuals anymore, I'm too old to be impressed with fancy smancy cgi. It's hte dialogue that captivates me. It's poetic, meaning it has to be interpreted. Something some people it seems can't do. Let me say this about discussion online, I'm kind of tired of athiests crying about how not everyone wants to be perfectly logical all the time. Tough. As a grown ass man now I think you should realize that life isn't fair. All that fairytale bullshit you thought would happen as a kid, frankly isn't...

One of the things bmt taught me was that age is but a number. As a kid, you don't see it. You think all grown ups are mature adults who know what they're doing. sadly I found out that just as I am not all that mature, neither are any of the older people around me. The only thing that keeps us from completely destorying each other ironically is children. We have to put on an act of maturity in front of them. Poetic and sad at the same time, just as life is...

In addition, don't get me started on women. While in high school, I wasn't necessarily smarter than them, but I knew that you shouldn't take sex lightly. It IS a life changing event. Yet girls would FUCK around with my head as if that'd make them seem like wife material. Now what? Now they're in their 20s and don't want to get good grades anymore just as I predicted. I'm not perfect at judging people by any means or measure, but this I think i was spot on about... They need to be protected, probably from themselves, our women. Being female drives them crazy until they realize just how good it is to be female and then forget about wanting to be like men. LOL at women.

Anyway lotr's a film about one thing, hope. Let me tell you, I was what in 2001... uh around 15. Not a bad year, doing well in school, felt happy enough, got bullied to shit by the guys there, but whatever. I always had star wars to make life worth living. Then I went on aicn and they were going on and on about this Lotr shit besides any star wars news. I didn't care... wtf is this lotr ish. I mean the thing sounds like a porno title. Lord of the rings. NO Lord of the dance! I mean I'm no stranger to artsy fartsy movies and shit, but my interst in them was superficial, never cared for them.

Well I was wrong. Right around this time, harry potter came out too. The early 2000s were a great time. I was learning so much about the world of cinema and movies and honestly I was blown away by movies like the matrix etc. Kids are stupid, man, they don't know about classic cinema, everything is explosions and cgi. Films of the past had to rely solely on good writing.

What is good writing? That's for greater minds than mine to figure out. Some say yeah, you have to break words down into a mathamatical configuration, others say just write whatever the fuck comes to mind. EVERYTHING IS POLITICS. I mean, damn, some say life isn't even worth living, we should all just commit suicide...

I'll kill myself but not before I've had some awesome sex with a girl. Sorry but not having really done it, is fucking me up bad... I don't want to impregnate her, I just want to have done it. I've been in love, that was the best thing ever...

Anyway, about lotr. I'm loving the writing for this movie. I don't know how to dissect its deepest themes like some people can, but I see the genius in its message to mankind. The movie just comes out and says it straight to us, and I know it'll go over a kid's head, war is inevitable. It's whether we chose to seek peace or more war that makes the difference. It's up to us.
