I wonder if that cliche of "woman's clock" has any truth....
or maybe it's just that I'm seeing all my friends settle down and find that person they want to spend the rest of their life with...If that feeling isn't mutual do you count your losses and look somewhere else? What if the heart doesn't want to look anymore.
It's starting to ache... to wonder if I deserve that stability; that commitment; the respect; the honesty; that other person wanting to spend the rest of their life with me....
Even the one most non-committal friend I have has now made the plunge.
Maybe it's just me... seems like there are 1000 reasons why it's me...
I guess, at least if all else fails, I'll be there....
Fables: Animal Farm
The struggle continues in fabletown this time between "New York" and "Animal Farm"
#1 was far more interesting, but I'm still very intrigued to read the next 10 issues.
Lost in Fables
Since reality isn't a pretty place I've recently found my new escape.
1. Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall
2. Fables: Legends in Exile
A series of graphic novels by Bill Willingham in which legendary fairy tale characters have taken human form and are hiding in exile since their lovely Homeland have been raide and overtaken.
A great twists to the classic characters and how each o their stories are somehow intertwined. Looking for the next 12 in the series... They're posing to be a harder find than expected.
If you like the classic tales and what graphic novels have to offer I highly recommend the series. Wonder if it'll succeed in becoming a movie series. Probably not though. Oh well...

Avatared
Cool scenery - double check
Oscar winning plot - questionable
Deserving all Oscar animations - double questionable
Was it a good flick yah I'd say so. Is it the flick of the decade I wouldn't count on it. The whole bad guy seemingly straight out of Halo 3 wasn't impressive at all. I felt like I was momentarily playing star craft or something. Maybe it was the mind control avatar thing I felt severely disconnected with the tribe.
Pandora was definitely amazing however I'm a little sad to realize my basis for my fantasy world "the hanging city" is no longer
my best kept secret... I guess all brilliance does become reality one day.
Would I recommend it - yes and for the first time I actually would recommend it in 3D. Would I sit through it again - to be honest, probably not.

Your Emptiness; My Despair
While I'm missing you
You're missing her
Faceless, nameless
Couldn't be bother with your heart's content.
Only cares where you sign
Dotted Line
And the next time you'll return.
Feels so cold
In your embrace
A nobody in my place
That you dream of now instead.
She'll scream your name
If you place
A credit line
To pay for her next expense.
We drift apart
Can't be whole
Argue tomorrow
Because you're no longer mine.
The energy you commit to it
Instead of time, to build what is
Lost in space, so meaningless
When you turn back it's nothing but
Emptiness.
I'll be gone built a life
That could, should, would be yours
But in place
You took a short turn road
For a taste
Of 30 seconds of pointless bliss.

Perspective
Humming birds flutter a graceful dance;
Shockwaves unravelling the queen ant's nest.
New trends, must have, millions;
A child laborer's blistered hands.
Rainstorms quenching dry parched horizon;
Mudslide buries the endangered species land.

Today's Radio Show...
30 Chick Flicks in 30 Days
I was about to change the radio station when this topic came up, but I couldn't be bothered and glad I left it.
In summary a married couple (real story) went on this venture to watch 30 chick flicks in a month. I thought the consensus from the guy (who was interviewed) would be that overall they were cheesy and too stereotypical. But he saw past Hollywood, which was a breath of fresh air.
He concluded that to maintain a success relationship you need 3 key factors (amongst the obvious ones)
1) Forgiveness - not just between man and woman, but in life
2) Vulnerablility - allowing yourself to love so much that you let the other person (now talking about the relationship) to enter 100% into your heart so that you let them love you and in turn, risk being hurt by them too. But without this vulnerability you will never truly learn to be a part of something
3) Friendship - this one quite straight forward
It was nice to hear it from the guy who actually said by sharing these 30 days with his wife, he's managed to turn into a better man. He said his wife has noticed that he's no longer doing the things that hurt her, is more attentive - listens well - and funnily - has become a better kiss because he's aware of her non-vocal signs.
I guess it's nice to know that a seemingly stupid social experience could help improve a marriage.
There is hope for love afterall.

Movie Updates
First - the movies I've recently seen:
Valentine's Day - yes, as cheesy as it was supposed to be, I actually liked it a lot. The cast was quite huge - no oscar nomination I'm sure, but still it hit the spot where I needed some loving most.
Alice in Wonderland in 3D - A) didn't need to be watched in 3D, B) very creative C) very Tim Burton D) overall not bad, but I'm not sure if it warranted a rush to opening weekend. E) If you don't know the story of Alice you'll be very lost because he's done quite an adaptation instead of a literal re-make... Amazing cinematography though.
To the Oscars
1) Yay to woman winning best director
2) Yay to UP
3) Now I must see the Hurt Locker
4) Yay to Sandra Bullock - she did do quite a good job in the Blind Side
5) Yay to getting the summary and not sitting there for 3 hours watching the whole thing
