WAKE UP!!
ok so last night i was talking to Toni about things, and the movie Waking Life came up. (which btw you should see NOW because it's a fantastic move!)
and i thought i wanted to add a few quotes from the movie that i thought were the best and moved/meant alot to me.
*Just think about them...*
"They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life? "
"The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because, if you can do that, you can do anything. "
"The worst mistake that you can make is to think you're alive when really you're asleep in life's waiting room. "
"The ongoing WOW is happening right NOW. "
"Hey. Could we do that again? I know we haven't met, but I don't want to be an ant. You know? I mean, it's like we go through life with our antennas bouncing off one another, continously on ant autopilot, with nothing really human required of us. Stop. Go. Walk here. Drive there. All action basically for survival. All communication simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient, polite manner. "Here's your change." "Paper or plastic?' "Credit or debit?" "You want ketchup with that?" I don't want a straw. I want real human moments. I want to see you. I want you to see me. I don't want to give that up. I don't want to be ant, you know? "
"Resistance is not futile, we're gonna win this thing, humankind is too good, we're not a bunch of under-achievers! We're gonna stand up, and we're gonna be human beings. We're going to get fired up about the real things, the things that matter! Creativity, and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit."
"Hey, are you a dreamer? I haven't seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting."
Think about these. This movie really got me thinking about just everything in life. You should too, it defiantly opens your eyes to whats around you, and hopefully will get you out of your box, or if youre sleep walking, your ant life, or whatever situation youre in.
STOP SLEEP WALKING THROUGH LIFE! GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING WITH YOURSELF!
