high on the moderns

July 12, 2006

so i stayed up late last night watching tarantino’s pulp fiction and getting amazed once again at how stolidly and smoothly samuel jackson delivered the following lines:

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. “

i was sick for the past two days of the ever present flu besetting the city lately, and though the doctor has recommended rest rest rest…how could i? when just across from me is a DVD of pulp fiction? and the fight club? twelve monkeys? cmon!

so i watched pulp fiction, and followed it with the fight club. insomniac that i am, i cannot relate, even if yes, this is my life, and it’s ending a minute at a time. i don’t sleep much but i cannot consider myself in the middle of dreaming and wakefulness, floating in consumer shit. don’t mistake me. i like the movie. very much.

so there. i will not let myself be sucked into watching those movies again when i’m sick. they make me feel better almost immediately…which makes my going back to work all the soonish…slave that i am.

this is my life, and damn if every minute that passes is spent dying. i gotta live.
