In which people get older…
It all began twenty-one years ago, on a cold winter’s day… by “it”, I mean, me.
Indeed, it is that time of year in which people collectively celebrate the ultimate Darwinian principle–survival. Birthdays have always been very bizarre and awkward for me. It seems strange to celebrate someone’s survival rate. At any rate, I suppose I’m racking up all sorts of points so far.
Anyhow, a quick glance at what I received today:
- “Shawshank Redemption: 2-disc Special Edition” DVD
- “Henry V” DVD
- “Making Movies” by SidneyLumet
- watching “Curious Case of Benjamin Button” in the theaters
…
sense a pattern? Only a Film Major! Obsessive? - maybe. Worth it? - Absolutely!!
Between watching movies, reading about movies, dreaming about movies, attempting to write movies, discussing movies, etc, somehow, I manage to fill my days. There is so much to learn, and while there are many things in my life outside of movies that I would like to do, I wouldn’t give up a minute of what I have devoted it. This is just the beginning!
Much to comment on, many films to review. I also intend to post some previous essays and papers I have written for classes in the past (film, writing, etc), as these are examples of some of my past work and research and interests in life.
In the meanwhile, many blessings!
