It’s amazing what a difference sunlight seems to make to peoples’ moods. Everyone I’ve spoken to so far today seems more alive and contented. I think I’m going to go and venture out and see what I can see. Maybe https://www.lancaster-online.com/ doesn’t deserve to be quite so grey after all!
Enough to base a movie on?
“…enough to base a movie on?”
If you’re life is a film, how do you sum up the thematic content?
Will there be American Beauties? Will the sleeper awake?
What themes run through your life?
Are the characters well drawn?
Do they have depth?
What problems and dilemas do they face? Are their trials and tribulations revisited? Over and over again?
Do they even know that they’re upon the stage?
Is yours a big part? Are you centre stage?
Would you watch? Or flick the channel?
“…enough to base a movie on?”
The program for this evening is not new,
You’ve seen this entertainment through and through
You’ve seen your birth, your life and death,
You might recall all of the rest –
Did you have a good world when you died,
Enough to base a movie on?
Jim Morrison
Truth is a complicated business
hmmm… Banita was right. Writing in blogs is especially difficult when you do not know your target audience. I mean… well… anyone could be reading this? Right? I don’t know what is going to offend. Nor do I know whether I want to tell you everything, something, the truth… That would depend entirely upon who you are. For example if you’re my boss then yes I had a stomach upset, and if you’re the lady I spent last night with, yes it was wonderful. D’ya see what I mean.
Truth is a complicated business, and blogs are public domain. I watched a friend of mine have an argument with someone before going out to a nightclub, yet despite the fact that we didn’t return until 4/5am, the first thing he did upon entering the house was to check the other person’s blog to see what they’d written about the dispute, before of course updating his own blog. This electronic feedback bemuses me. Life has become so public domain, even aside from CCTV and state surveillance we are constantly sharing our thoughts and ideas, revealing ourselves.
The act of watching changes the thing being watched. There’s a name for the theory, but my memory is blown. It’s mentioned in The Man Who Wasn’t There. I’ll find out and amend this entry… Unless someone out there wants to refresh my memory.
Then again… I am of course assuming I have an audience at all! That there is actually someone on the other side of this glass mirror listening to this drivel.
The act of revealation is a difficult one.
