As it may have been slightly evident in post on Sunday, I was in a pretty weird mood. Not too happy with things. Not happy with myself. Wanted to be alone in the dark and listen to depressing music. Not up for dealing with people and life. So I started to post, delete, and edit everything. Killed myself with changes trying to make things better. I ended up deleting my Facebook, thought I'd remove it for a week and be away from the world. Plus it gave me some sort of goal to work towards during very long, drab, unproductive days. And this now looks different also.
However, Life came to my rescue. At the beginning of the holidays my sister recommended I watch 'The Good Wife'. So that's what I did casually over the first couple of weeks, getting up to date to the second series. It is OK, nothing special really. About some lawyer wife of a president person after he cheats on her.
Once that was done, I went back to my sister, she recommended 'Life'. So I started watching it Sunday night/Monday morning and finished it today. 32 episodes in 4 days, you do the maths! I really like it. It stars Damien Lewis as a detective who was falsely imprisoned for 12 years, for the murder of his friends. The story picks up once new DNA has proved he is innocent and he returns to the LAPD with a settlement of 50 million dollars +. Whilst in prison he gained a new philosophy on life, Zen (teachings of the Buddha). The series involves him working on cases while figuring out the bigger conspiracy of who killed his friends and framed him. A nice balance between the violence of revenge and the peace of Zen. He also like fruit... alot! The only bad thing about it is, it's only 2 seasons long, it was not renewed for a third :( Stupid NBC board people. Although, it finishes nicely rounded off.
Anyway, this show has brightened up my dull view on life over the past few days. I like the idea of Zen... (you'll see what I mean in the quotes section). Plus, all the other shows should be returning this week. So I'm back alive in the world again and been talking to people about Uni, which has got me really excited about it. We're all going Liquid on Monday for Andi's birthday, and I just found out a certain someone else is going to be there also, so it should be awesome really. Hopefully one last thing with the boys here, then the game on Sunday, then back to Uni. Bish Bash Bosh.
Thoughts/Quotes/Lyrics of the Day...
"What we learnt as children, that one plus one equals two, we know to be false. One plus one equals one. We even have a word for when you plus one equals one, that word is love."
"We are none of us alone. Even as we exhale, it is inhaled by others. The light that shines upon me, shines upon my neighbor as well. In this way, everything is connected to everything else. In this way, I am connected to my friend as I am connected to my enemy. In this way, there is no difference between me and my friend. In this way, there is no difference between my and my enemy. We are none of us alone."
