I got reeled into watching this movie today (not knowing how mushy it was), called Dream of an Insomniac. Holy Mother of Jesus. Actually I stomached it, because it was totally intriguing from an artist's point of view. If you don't want to know about the story stop here because I'm gonna spill it.
It told of a young girl...a chronic insomniac for about 17 years. Meets guy and her world now has colour :) She's a budding actress moving to Hollywood. He's a writer whose inspiration has gone poof. Artists. So in talking, they make a pact that he'd get her to sleep and she'd inspire him to write again.
All this time duh she's head over heels. Trouble is he has this boring girlfriend who he's staying with just for stability and "love".
So she basically begs him to move away with her. He says no la di dah she's heartbroken. He eventually realises his mistake and he goes and they smooch and live happily ever after. Oh yeh and the deal they made has come thru. Crick crack :)
So what do we learn here? Hmm. Dreamers and artists rock dammit! Jus you'll probably agree with me here - I doubt no one else will..maybe Stac :) I must see that again...just for the quotes. Stac will definitely enjoy this. It's about passion and following your heart - not what's stable and logical.
Oh my mood, my mood. Strange. It's a pleasant change though. I like thinking about all this sometimes - well discussing it with friends. Hmm I've obviously been too negligent, but that's life for you..always getting in the way of dreaming. Hah. Argh.
But then. Dream or reality? How should you live your life? Pursuing what's in your heart or what's in everyone else's hearts? *sigh* Ah well more food for thought. My conscious mind tells me to forget about it because the truth is scary. Subconsciously I'll dream about it or something and try to straighten the swirling mass of confusion that find its abode in my head.
On another note. How do I interpret signs? No not street signs. How do the things that happen in your daily life affect your destiny? How can you figure them out? Should you? I believe there is a meaning to everything...reason, that will ultimately affect what's gonna happen in the future. Why do I want to know so badly? Grr. I guess if I know then all my decisions will be biased. Hmmmm. It's just like the Oracle (here we go Matrix style again) said. "If I hadn't told you about the vase would you have knocked it over?" Well whatever the line is.
*think think ponder ponder*
Apparently it's late and I'm supposed to be sleeping? 2 am. Lovely. Btw I hate how Blogger gets the time wrong even though I put it as EST time. This has been my longest post for a while. You can tell I'm not busy anymore. :o)
