Yes, I love movies. Love love love.
The reception isn't great, and for this I am grateful. Mostly I hate the tv, despite it being the vision-vehicle for my movie obsession.Note: I'm currently house sitting and watching SKY 24/7, so the above only applies when I have no aerial.
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
-The Laughing Heart; Charles Bukowski
