Two Days After Thanksgiving
I spent time with IJ yesterday. We went to the movies together and saw Casino Royale. CR has been gushing about it since it came out so I am glad that I got to see it finally. I had to go back to the gym to pick up the rest of my stuff though because I got them locked in one of the lockers. I had a hard time getting them out because I did not know how to work the digital key out. I gave up and asked one of the gym guys to help me out. When I came out of the gym, I found IJ doing the stress test in front of Borders bookstore. I did one myself but I felt like the girl doing my test was quite intrusive, asking me personal questions. Well, she did not convinced me in buying the Dianetics book. She seemed to be faking it and I thought that she was running lines to sell the book. I left because I really did not have faith on those self-help books. I am biased because I believe that only the bible can really help out people when they put it into practice.
Anyhoo, today I went to go work out again. I thought that it would be a great waste of time gong downtown just to work out and not see a movie. The theater is conveniently located across the gym so I went to go see The Fountain (starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz) which I found to be "out there" intertwining biblical, historical and sci-fi ideas. The main theme of the movie was about trying to let go when someone dies. This is hard for so many people even myself because sometimes I do not want to let go of my mom. Because of the sci-fi aspect of the film, it did not really touch me. I left somewhat wondering what life is after death. I was reading in James today that just as the body is dead without the spirit, so is faith without deeds is dead. All of us in this planet have spirits in us that won't die but our flesh will decay whereas the spirit does not. It keeps on living forever even when our flesh fades away. That is a hard cncept to grasp. Anyhoo, those were the thoughts that lingered in my mind when I saw the movie. Interesting stuff...
