Deer kicks hunters ass
no, he will die of solitude
PG Version of 300
I believe going the movies has now become ingrained in our society as a social experience. Thus you will always have people there. I tend to go to the movies rarely and usually with a bunch of friends. Much later after initial runs, when the theatre is usually empty. If there is a movie I would like to watch in solitude in the theater, e.g. Hero or such i.e. movies you got to watch on the largest screen possible, I go on off days and just jump from movie to movie. The other alternative is a art house theater, but all you will find there is snooty film students and uncomfortable chairs.
So about 90% of my viewing is home-based.
Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet
Thanks for the input, Baqueta. I also always thought it was "sings the streets a serenade," but when searching for the complete lyric listing I've found that "streetsuss" appears the only form ever used. After a little more searching, I feel certain that you've pegged it; "street-suss" seems a fairly common term.
From M-W:http://www.google.com/search?q=%22street-suss%22From http://www.uri-geller.com/rage.htm :
So, Romeo serenades the bitter night with the fires of street wisdom burning in his soul, completing the sorrowful harmony which echoes through the alleyways and withering branches of barren trees ineluctably entering Juliet's solitude with an offer of sweet remorse.
...or something.
Crazy super-fundie christian freak on Trading Spouses.
First the person above is totally insane. And needs medication. I fear for her children, especially since they are all daughters. So much heartache comin'. AM suprised the husband didn't step in smack her and tell her to calm her ass.
Faith is needed at a certain level however, I mean I agree with everything you guys say. I know that religion and all is a strech on our preceptions, I respect all religions and tolerate them all (I can't stand people converting me, its creepy). However I do believe faith is needed. In my extended family alot of my uncles and aunts have reached ripe old ages and retirement. In the closing years of their life they commit to religion and such because they had little less left, their children had grown and moved elsewhere, they could no longer work, they threw themselves selflessly into their communities and turned things around by doing charity and donation work under religion. They didn't do it becuase they were fundamentalists, they did it because they were coming close to crossing over, and in those times of solitude they needed the comfort and support that is offered at most religious gatherings. This is why religion in some sense is important. There is alot of instances where faith is regained because of a particular traumatic experience, I used to belittle such instances of lapse of reason but slowly you understand that for some the shock of lose or death is so great that they cannot cope on their own and need the psychological comfort offered through faith.
And that's all that religion is, psychological comfort. You don't die you progress to either heaven or hell based on your behaviour. Someone is always watching after you. You are never alone. So on and so forth.
My ex, has a deep fear of being alone. Over many covnersations I have had with her, her main driving reason for believing (but not practicing) is the fact that believing makes her feel like she is not alone. And in some people that is such a large psychological controlling factor, that institues faith. She is totally a rational person, but this psychological fear she possess drives this link to religion.
Thats my 2 cents. Myself? Am agnostic, I believe in the life, and not a religion because for all the shit out in the world, you can always go to the edge of the ocean and marvel at the beauty, complexity, and vastness of nature.
