Matter.
I don’t see the point of any of this because my love is dry. Everything seems fake. This entire existence. The drywall in front of me. The arms I control. The noise down the street. I don’t write scripts because I’m waiting for my friend’s laptop. That’s an excuse. I heard a loud almost train-like horn go off in the distance, and for a moment I imagined a horrible crash outside, down the street. That’s real. Sadness and anguish, and helping and supporting. I haven’t been running every other night, partly the holidays and partly I had things I had to get done. I think it’s affecting my mood. I’ve been pretty joyous the last 2 weeks. I thought it was cutting off my beard, getting rid of my man version of cosmetics. I think it was the running. Life (not the living-of, just the fact that things live) is perplexing/beautiful & wonderful. I still don’t feel very good about “The Fountain”. The more I try to understand it, the more I kind of sour to it. I like parts of it’s message. I don’t think it’s very easy to marry the whole thing to my Christ-centered perspective. Maybe that’s why I can’t figure it out.
Amazing ending.
It seems like you’re in some sort of mental rut. Either that or the fountain had quite an impact on you 😉 Well whatever it is, I hope everything clears up for you and starts becoming real again.

Ryn~ Thank you 🙂 When I was in the confessional, the priest said “I forgive you for every thing you need forgiveness for…. well, I mean, GOD forgives you”. He’s just an instrument.

Oops. And I meant to sign that last note “Jennifer” 😉

It’s just a movie. Don’t forget that. I think this is probably one of the reason so many Christians stay away from movies that are not Faith-Based. They don’t want to think about anything other than Christ. And that’s okay…if it works for them. But I can tell the difference between Fiction and Fact…and so can you. I kinda rambled there..sorry. lol

Ryn- That’s the only thing I could think of; that consumation within marriage is just a good thing in general. I watched the preview for that movie (I was wondering what it was before you mentioned the title). In the beginning I noticed they used the Rev. Fred Phelps protesters in their footage (recognizable by their “God hates fags” signs, among others). That’s not fair to use them in their film’s footage; the Phelps people aren’t Christians.

I left a number of comments on your entry “The Possibility of a God” As for the mood, I think it is natural to have our ups and downs. As for the movie, while it is just fiction, it still effects us. Everything we expose ourselves to effects us. The human mind is a sponge. I still have images from from when I was 5, my first movie without my parents, etc. Be guarded about what you watch.
