Time to reflect

kitara — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:39:01 +0000

Sometimes life just can’t help kick you to the curb, especially when you are very happy. I haven’t had the time or inclination to post anything since I got back from vacation.

The Monday after a vacation is always a chore, but I returned to find that one of my co-workers had been killed. This was not some tragic accident, but the work of some yet unknown jerk who thought they had the right to take someone’s life. I am indeed being kind in labeling this person a jerk, what I really feel is not fit to print or repeat. The life of a very talented man was taken way too soon, leaving behind a wife and young daughter. I do hope that when this person is found that punishment is long lasting and painful.

If that was not bad enough, my stepmother passed away as well. She was very good to me and made me feel welcome at once. She will be greatly missed by me and her entire family. Her passing meant that family members who have not been seen in far too long were reunited. It was bittersweet to see so many people and reconnect with them at the occasion of her passing.

So, if I am quiet, please forgive me, but I don’t quite feel up to spending time in cyberspace when i can be connecting with people in person who mean the world to me.

I found this via MSN. I always liked Nomar, so I’m glad to see him retire as a member of the Boston Red Sox.

Movie Review – Avatar

kitara — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:00:58 +0000

So, I finally went to see Avatar in 3D. By the time I get a chance to go see a movie, it usually is out on DVD. Luckily I got to experience this movie on the big screen. I have to say that I’m really surprised by all the negative comments about this movie. When did we all be come so self absorbed and buy into our own press that our way is the right way, the only way.This movie is visually stunning, the special effects really brings everything to life. A feast for the senses, the color in this film is fantastic and the soundtrack is wonderful. I think most people would agree.

As for the story, well it’s a classic that’s been told time and again. Good vs evil, greedy corporations vs local residents, foreign interlopers vs native inhabitants. It’s nothing new, but that’s OK. We can identify with those on the side of “good”, the downtrodden, the oppressed. And when the good guys win, we feel good as well. That is the point of this kind of story. If by any chance, you happen to find yourself thinking, well that’s just a bonus.
