Mass market entertainment penetrating my brain:

• Blades of Glory
• Madonna: American Life: I’m So Stupid, and Love Profusion
• The Corrupter
• DJ Strobe: Re:Made Volume One: Wicked Game
• Jem: Finally Woken: Come On Closer
• The Big Hit
• Benassi Bros.: Phobia: Rocket In The Sky (feat. Nann)

I really dig Madonna. Maybe you don’t and thats cool, we all open ourselves up to different things which in turn may open new doors, close others, burn bridges. They are simple choices but they define the future. What makes my head hurt is wondering about how many of those choices already have answers.

I’m not talking about fate, I do not believe in fate. What I do believe is that as more choices are made you are programming yourself, soon the choices are not so much your own as they are paths you follow. As you grow older you make fewer and fewer new choices. When do you stop making new choices? That day maybe the day you are locked into a world of predictability. Is your mind closed at that point? Or can you make a choice to have an open mind? Would that be the day you lost all your creativity? I guess I won’t know until the future is the past and I can reflect on these words again.

I watched the movie 300 tonight. I thought the first half of the movie was sexy, casual flesh everywhere, the King and Queen getting down to business, and the out of control red haired oracle, I felt a little weak. The second half was action packed, I figured after the first wave of slaughtered Persians the King still had over 200 muscles he had not flexed yet, Leonidas was pretty much set for @ least a few more waves of Persians. Overall it was good, and I say that because I enjoyed myself while watching it, but if I didn’t have anyone to make the occasional comment too I don’t think it would have been so much so.

When leaving the theater I took a different road, which then had a detour, that I ignored and went another way. My way of injecting something random in my life. Any more its not even a thought, I just start doing the things I wouldn’t normally do. If something different happens maybe I’ll see something new, or as with the music, find something old. I began to think about how this road would get me home, maybe not as fast as another road but eventually I would get there. What about being Pope? Maybe my life isn’t on the most direct path to that either, but I am white and probably will be old one day, so I’ve a got shot.

When the absurd falls short of being humorous what does it become?
