Okay two pronged post here with a final gesture at the original point of this blog.
First, yea, I'm deployed, which means that I'm leading a rather monastic existence right now. Regimented, spartan, but with a few luxuries. I could tell you where I am and what I'm doing, but I'm not Geraldo Rivera. It is hot, though.
Second, being here has given me some time to think on things, and realize that I kinda want ot shift the focus of this blog from literally watching film and TV (which I intend to continue commenting on) to seeing life around me. Not being able to PARTICIPATE at life back home in the States, I have a unique perspective being "outside the fishbowl" as it were. I realized that even how, the way I watch film is the way I'm watching life.
I accept what's coming, and I enjoy the surprises. I don't stress out wondering "who's that guy with the knife?" or "is that the bad guy? have we seen him before?" or "what's he doing?" but rather, I appreciate the mystery. I'd like to take the time to talk about some of my thoughts and perhaps observations. The social petri dish is simply too ripe to let it go to waste. And I think it'll help me understand everything.
Okay, and last but not least, a nod to film. I saw Taken, and loved it.
And let me just say, I apologize to all of the women in the world for being somewhat turned on. There, I said it. But, I mean, I think Dr. Kinsey... I mean Liam Neeson... would say that that's okay, as long as I kill at least a hundred bad guys to set things right.
