So last night, I watched a movie I promised myself I would watch a long time ago: Requiem for a Dream....Man, was it intense!! When I started the movie I was like, What in the world have I got myself into..but as the movie unravelled, I was totally amazed by the directors vision..I mean if my parents ever wanted to scare the living heck out of me in regards to being addicited to anything whatsoever -->all they had to do was play the movie.. so any one out there who has kids or plan to have kids, play it for the rug rats..I'm playing :-))
but yah, totally a reality check..if you are not into the whole real life scene, this movie is probably not for you..not exactly mill of the night entertainment movie..but made me reflect on the culture a bit..this lady in her 50's at one point is asking her son what the point of her life is..that she has nothing to live for..and sadly a lot of folks out there in the world would say the same...my heart goes out to them cuz that is a choice that they made..those of us who are young and are busy living it up gotta stop and think that our future is determined by the choices we make today..so if you waste the minutes of your life away, just remember you are not getting it back..
I was looking back on my life on my 28th birthday, and I regretted the past 3 years of my life cuz all I did was work, chill with my friends, and live it up(mind you, I was never into the whole smoking, drinking, clubbing scene--more into being active and doing things that are adrenaline pumping) ..I continously reap the benifits of that commitment by means of a paycheck I recieve every 2 weeks..thats not what I want to be defined by..I had vision, something I was working towards, but I forgot it in the midst of my busy schedule...God brought someone into my life at the right time to waken me up to the reality of The Great Commision..It's amazing how God works cuz his timing IS PERFECT..The man was brouhgt into my life for a brief second to remind me what I once stood for..I decided to get my act together which is not to let life pass me by without having something to say about it..If you want more out of life, have a bigger vision and work towards it..
