Bindings

Neuroticism and its greater counterpart, insanity, must be the results of their environment. Is it possible to turn insane, being drowned in a pool of silence, where the only signs of disburbance come from the annoyances of small talk? Chatter chatter [how is the weather] chatter chatter [how was lunch], and so on.

A restless mind in captivity, seeking to break from its bindings. But the attempt to escape is rendered futile by circumstances unforeseen and beyond control. Certainly, the escapee-aspirant is not without blame — indecisiveness is a factor of futility.

Each soul is formed from a myriad of characters, one of whom is called ‘Loser’. In a fashion that is bitterly ironic, Loser’s personality dominates and shuts away Optimism and Optimism’s friends into the soul’s asylum. Ever so frequently, the characters with hope call out from the asylum’s cells. The calls are the cries of freedom-desired. Loser is physically-free yet trapped by its loneliness and tormented by the calls of its prisoners. It needs companionship but can see no other way to communicate this need. Entrenched in its subconscious is the want to control - everything - and its selfishness finally leads it to the conclusion that if companionship is beyond its ability to earn, the enslavement of others is the best alternative.

Owwwww...

Owwwww…just suffered a bump on my head while I was trying to lean back to read a book. I can be such a loser.

Anyway, can’t sleep, and don’t really feel like reading either (though I’ve got tons of books that I bought and haven’t read =( ), so I thought I’d blog a bit. Don’t mind the bad grammer ‘cos I’m trying to type my thoughts as quickly as possible. =)

I rewatched Wonder Boys today.I bought the VCD for S$13 bucks from HMV on Friday evening as I’ve been meaning to buy the video for about a year. I was looking for the DVD version but they didn’t have it at HMV. I’ve got a feeling that I have to thank the censorship board for that. =( Anyway, I’m going look out for the DVD version in other shops, if they have it, I’m going to sell my my VCD copy to buy it. Which leads to — naturally — what a great film it is. I had heard all the great reviews of it ages ago. When I watched it on Friday, I didn’t think much of it because I was largely distracted and rather tired. So I wasn’t paying much attention to the dialogue. I decided to give the film a second chance today because I knew I wasn’t paying due attention the first time. Anyways, the dialogue turned out to be funny as hell. I’d say it’s a dark yet subtle comedy. The acting is brilliant: Michael Douglas’s perfect as the sloppy english professor although one might not imagine him to fit the role considering the ‘suave’ characers he’s played in his film career. Tobey Maguire’s just Tobey Maguire (hahahah).
