Straight Edge Life

I’ve written a review of Monster with Charlize Theron. I went and saw it this afternoon. I’m still stunned by every aspect of this movie. In it’s entirety, it is probably the best film I’ve ever seen. I’m not saying it’s one I’m going to watch over any over again, but damn, it’s solid. Absolutely incredible. And Charlize Theron is stunning. The movie is simple, straightforward, involves the audience, honest, and just generally no bullshit.

And as for me. I’m doing fairly well. I’m facing a couple of deadlines and one big struggle to keep myself healthy. I don’t sleep well enough. I don’t eat well enough. And I don’t get out to play often enough. I’m realizing that I’m a somewhat undisciplined man. I work too hard and I work as an excuse to avoid other aspects of my life that bug me. Now that I know this I’m not entirely sure how to fix it. I worry though that it may become a cycle and will be hard to break down the line. I mean it’s probably good for starting a business (an event anyone will tell you requires pathological focus), but it’s probably not so good for a guy who’s trying to improve quality of life, not just his bank account. Although I wouldn’t mind taking care of both. Ah, to dream…
