        Everything I needed to learn I learned from Sun Tzu. Perplexing it is, but that's all right by me. I don't really know if I've ever learned everything from one certain place or person or thing (noun). Rather I learn a lot of things from several places and several things and several people (several nouns). I do like Abraham Lincoln though, he was a good guy. Too bad I wasn't around to meet him. He led with such vigor it practically killed him off physically. He was out of the White House more than he was in it most of his presidency and he probably lost several years of his life due to the struggle of the war had he been able to live out his life.
        I want to make a movie. Why I don't really know. I think a documentary about my life would be fun to make. Just for no reason. It would also be fun if I had an actor play my part wouldn't that be great. This reminds me of a good movie I watched again last weekend, its called Requiem For a Dream and it is about drug use and the twisting downward path that only they bring. The movie is directed by Darren Aronofsky and is based on the book by the same name.
        Aronofsky also directed another film simply titled Pi but it is in the mathematical notation. And that movie is about a man who has a psychological defect that makes him a mathematical genius. He is trying to find a pattern for the stock market.
In both films Aronofsky superbly uses sound effects as segues into other scenes. He is also able to make the movie seem as though the viewer is on drugs and misses some parts. This may just be because Pi is only 80 minutes long, but the feeling is much the same.
Its kind of funny because I watched Requiem after I got my wisdom teeth pulled and so I was on drugs watching it. I was on Vicodin, which is an outstanding pain-killer if you ever need some. But, I myself was semi conscious in my darkened room watching a bunch of movies. And most of these movies were pretty bad, but since I was so out of the loop why I just didn't care and I thought they were all really good.
I am kind of disappointed in Hollywood Video though. They have the first and third seasons of the Soprano's, but not the second! I have watched the first and my oh my I liked that a lot. But I cant just jump straight to the third. Oh well.

I truly love... You actually think I'm going to tell you? I have no idea really what to think about this. There are things I like a lot, but nothing I really love. I like to be busy and such, I like to be challenged, I like football, I like food. I could go on, but I'll stop. I guess maybe I'm not capable of love, who knows? I really don't for sure.
Now I am out of ideas. I wonder how I am going to write nine more pages when I have exhausted most of my topics as of yet. But, have no fear ideas galore just popped into my head. Yea... but, who knows what I'll do or write. I am sure something can spur the gears in my head. (You think that's only an expression.)
