Avatar

I do realize that this post is like $1.8 billion too late.
But better late than never.
Avatar was an awesome experience. Note I said experience not movie. It was the 3D that made it. And as a result of such success has completely changed the way movies in that genre are going to be made in the future.
It was almost like I could touch Sigourney Weaver! I didn’t really think of her, but once I saw the movie, I really like her now, which is weird!
Like I said before, can you imagine, Lord of the Rings…in 3D!!!!!! Spiderman? Kingdom of Heaven? Troy? Maybe X-Men would have even been worth all that effort! The list is endless.
The ticket price is ridiculous, but can you really put a price on feeling like you can reach out and touch Aragon sweat?
If Alice and wonderland comes out in 3D…I’m defiantly going to watch it!

My 2cents worth

There are two things that I am really sick of right now.

The first, is the whole world cup fever thing. Yeah...I've been waiting for what is it, 8 years now? (yes 8 because South Africans didn't count the last world cup) and I'm done. And with SA playing in the group that they are going to, I don't see any hope. I'm sorry, I know its pessimistic, but I can't help it. I am patriotic and I will still support them, even though I know better. With the hope that I'm proven wrong.

The one good thing about the world cup is all the beautiful males that will be gracing us with their rock hard abs, thighs of steel and hair that takes longer than a match to groom...mmm.

The second is the whole love hate relationship with twilight. Firstly I don't get the girls who go that crazy for Rob P, who is not as good looking as Edward, a fact that he has admitted to. And then I don't get all the haters, who think its the worst movie that they have ever seen. Ever watched Max Payne? That for me was looking pulling out my finger nails one by one!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The books a geared to teenagers, and they just happened to be a hit with a larger age group. The books is not any different to any other teen books out there, like point romance, point horror, sweet sixteen...books that I have not seen on any shelves for quite some time. If you ever do come across any of them, take the time to read one of them, which will take you like an hour and you will realise that all Twilight is, is the rehashing of an old genre. A genre that seems to be dead to me.

The New Moon movie, as far as I'm concerned was good, even better than the book. They did a very good job, even though you could see Bella had contacts in one of the scenes. Oh and what happened to the rain? It rained like only once! The fighting was much better in Movie, which gives Breaking Dawn hope because in terms of the fighting it was a serious anti climax in the book.

Twilight is not the first to sprout words of cheesiness and it will not be the last. Ever watched Wedding Date? Its like cheese galore. So here is some advice...if you didn't like the first two don't watch the second two because the cheese just keeps on coming. And really its something you either like or you don't.

Personally, I think June is too far away.

Changelings…

Have you watched the movie? I haven’t.

But I can’t get that word out of my head.

In most ways that’s how I think of people. We’re constantly changing, and yet we stay the same. I guess that is the genius of the way The Almighty has created life. It have this balance, this ying and yang. Where our lives are shaped by both the bad and the good.

But there are times when you can pin point the event that changed you.

I find it weird how the bad things that happen in our lives don’t only change who we are, but how they never leave us. It becomes apart of our identity. It’s unavoidable. You don’t want the bad to stay with you forever, but to a large extent it does. And there is just no running from it. Some people are so changed by the bad that they seem are different, broken almost.

It’s like I was talking to Romeo and I asked him if he had children. A question that he avoided until I asked it for the third time, then he answered that he did have a daughter who passed away. She was only 7 months old.

Now how do you run away from this moment? Because no matter how he answered this question, the answer would always tell me something more about his life, then he would want me to know. And what if you don’t want people to know? You lie and eventually the truth comes out and then they see even more that what you were willing for them to see in the first place.

And most of us have this bad thing that changed your life. That becomes part of you. It’s like introducing yourself to someone: Hi, I’m Jane and my brother died, or I’m Tasnim and my parents are divorced. This is not all of who we are but it is what shaped our reality. It’s not something you can run from. And it’s the people who never had a big bad change them who are oblivious to just how lucky they really are.

The type of Love

Love is the 'holy grail' that all people seek at some point in their lives.
I have a theory about a specific type of love.

If the type of love that you find,is the type that gives you wings,then run away from it.
The higher you fly, the harder the fall.For humans are never meant to fly.
If we were we would have had wings. And when we do get such wings,it is never meant to last long.
And anything that makes you more or less of a human, can be seen as sheirk.
And should never be entertained.

Blogging

Aahh blogging…I remember it, like it was yesterday. The feel of the imagination going wild! A place where I could type anything I wanted to.

FYI – after this thesis, I will not be typing the words company, power, negotiated, within and hierarchy…for the next year at least!

Soon, it will be done, then I can come back to the blogosphere…then it’s a party on my blog! Whoo hoo!

When the darkness sees you
You cannot hide
It shapes and forms and grows
And as much as you close your eyes
And cover your head
And try to hid
The darkness sees you

It grips at your soul
Digging its claws into your body
Ripping your flesh

But your screams are silent
And your body heavy
Because the darkness has you now

But do not be afraid
Soon it will be over
Ignore the light
That exists yonder
That will come and set you free
For the Darkness has you now

Even though you can feel the claws
Dig every time you move
Even though the Darkness has you
You still hope of its release?
What a stupid thing
But then again
Hope often makes fools of the brightest stars

When the darkness sees you
There is no turning back
Even though you were saved
Even though you are okay
It is now you that can see the Darkness
And for as long as you live
You will never be able to forget it

I like

I watched the series on SABC 3 War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. There was something that was said in the movie that I really like, and I think its very true.

One of them said “life takes you to places that your imagination dare not go” or something like that

Good one Leo!
