On this day

Today has been a bit of this and that. Didn't feel very high up on the food chain today. Chewing curd. Get on the truck, you're a baseball glove.

At the same time, a couple of bright spots. Talking to someone I haven't talked to in a great while. Bringing back good memories, as well as a smile.

No trip in the forest today, but I did manage do buy a present long overdue. Even got me a film, again memories long gone by, namely Midnight Run. Fun. Films from the 80's have their charm and of course still is recognisable as modern society. With some noteable exceptions. I guess it was politically uncorrect even then, but boy do they smoke a lot of cigarettes, and everywhere. The thing is, they make it an issue. From this side of history it looks like a constructed time capsule. "I could make you a completely balanced diet." Somehow, Brodin saying that did not enlighten me on the subject of leopard leotards and flammable hair. But then, it did tell me something about the xenophobia certain states exhibit these days. Keeping other views out, sifting them out of the scheme, make your knife a very very very blunt weapon.

In its innocence and belief Midnight Run is a warm movie. Every character has its soul brother, opposite in all but one core quality. Corruption vs clean sheets, going by the book vs winging it and adapting, motivation being all and everything. Saw Confidence yesterday as well, might have been a flutter in the waves. Midnight Express wins hands down though.

By telling lies you postpone and maximize all pain.
It is just if you get lucky you are cleansed, put through catharsis.
