Oblivion

Just got to watch Oblivion this afternoon and I have to say that it just does not disappoint. Visually stunning and the story, while there are a couple of predictable moments, still manages enough twists to keep the story alive until the very end.

And as it tends to happen, I also enjoyed the mess out of the soundtrack!

In all honesty, I was afraid that this movie would end up being much the way Prometheus was (visually stunning also, but ultimately bland). Let me stress this point: It is far from it! What else can I say? This one is very much worth the time and money to see.

Times Are A-Changin'

Oops! So writing here is still few and far between, but I guess the "bug" to write just never quite came back to me. I suppose I have just been too distracted these days and as the title plainly states, things have begun to change around me. The question remains: Will I adapt? Or get lost in the shuffle?

I think life is becoming a little overwhelming, just trying to keep up with the events of the world and just the stuff happening in everyday life is just so much to deal with. It is chaotic! I find myself trying to sort it all out to be able to make as educated a guess as I can. But more often then not, I don't put enough thought into it and screw up.

Story of my life.

It is fair to say that I am an impulsive person, who tends to fly by the seat of my pants. As my Mom so often told me, I like to screw up first and then learn. I never "think smarter," which tends to have me putting in much more effort into a task then necessary  Some would say that mistakes are key in life and I know I've made my share in the short time I've been alive.

But now it feels like the wheels are in motion and life, having passed me by for these past many years, has circled around and is pushing me forward. Am I ready to move? As much as I'd love to stop and think (procrastinate), it would seem as though that is not to be the case anymore.

The point of all this being... I don't really know. This is stepping into the vast unknown without a flashlight. So honestly, for the first time in a long time, I'm afraid of what lies ahead. All I can do is take the leap, hope for the best and pray I made the right choices when this is all said and done.
