But I managed to sneak in about a half hour of it today.
It is a formula movie for me, has a simple message. "Believe the best." The best in people, in myself, in life. Not "Fly around and be invincible." Doesn't work, I fucking sprain my ankle, so I ain't invincible.
But I can think better of myself. I started thinking about how I feel like Small Man on Totem Pole. Which pisses me off in a way. I feel like I can do better and make more of an influence, and that I can be better, you know? Pick up trash, be more of a public figure, and help people out. I forget to notice things sometimes, and I say to myself, "I should've seen that."
I did a lot this week, just to get rid of what ifs. But that is another entry, and it involves a casting call for a Martin Scorsese film that has no inclusion in my life but for a simple two hour wait before work. Nothing else.
But what I miss doing every week are the things that mean something greater than myself, you know? That sacrifice that takes up patience and time and energy and makes you realize that you can be better than your most selfish reasoning, all for the reason that you want to prove to yourself something.
In this case, I think I've done some superman stuff recently, I have sacrificed and pledged my help in a familial sense, more than I have done before.
And Ive looked after myself? You know? Taken naps, taken a good look at everything, and realized how I should spend my time. Ive rested, pushed myself pretty hard, made decisions which I deem selfish and fail worthy, but you know what? I got a pretty good look, and, as always, Ive cemented my faith in myself. I will go any distance for a friend, but do not expect me to drop what I am doing and be more than that...that has to be earned, and I keep cementing this thought, especially since Providence, reciprocation in any relationship, business, friendship, personal, private, is key. Every cycle requires a renewal of activity.
I question things, Ive observed that when I question things, they start to unravel. But when I believe, (that believe should be in italics), things don't improve, per se, but they begin to cement inside. And inside, I can affect the entire outside, but I don't worry about the outside. What do you do?
Fuckin get a mohawk and rock it out.
While I know I want my actions to be more epic, you have to start small, then go big. It grows on experience, and I know what I am gonna do with my future. I will not be superman, but I am going to be epic. Sacrifice is important to know that you have the strength to get what you want. And no lecture or discussion is without underlying motivation or a lack of understanding.
Anyways, to me, that movie stands to Believe in the Best. To draw out the light from the dark, and to do it by kicking the assholes square in the face, and then bandaging them up and telling them this is how its going to be. Its going to be better.
