On Flow

I tried my best to flow through the day and not let my emotions crash over me too often.  There were moments of course, but there always are.  I am deliberately trying to not over think everything. Trying to just flow through the day, to breath, to walk on the earth, to be present. (All credit to the Teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh). So, in the spirit of flowing, in the spirit of being present...

I had breakfast with Bob, over at the Hickory Pit, and from there went over to AMC 14 and saw the new movie, Taken 2, with Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace and Famke Jensen.  It was exactly what it was supposed to be and enjoyable as a pure popcorn movie.  From there, I met Don at Edgies and shot some pool (lost every single game), and then an early dinner at Red Lobster.  Home, a quick nap, a shower, and this moment.

As I went through the day I was pretty much continuously pulled out of the moment by the monkey mind, by all the unanswered questions that flow through us in emotional times. I am hoping that my mind stills and I am able to enjoy the evening.  I think the shower and the nap helped. Plus, one of my new favorite shows comes on this evening - Copper, on BBC.  If you haven't watched it, I would definitely give it a very high recommendation.

Taken or Liam Neeson Shoots A Lot Of People

Okay, I saw a second movie today, this time in the evening with my friend Tony. We saw "Taken", with Liam Neeson. I can sum the movie up with a subtitle. As we came out of the theatre I referred to the movie as "Taken: Liam Neeson Shoots A Lot Of People". That pretty much sums up the movie. There was a plot. I think it was Liam Neeson shoots people. It is a pure action adventure movie - nothing more, nothing less. Enjoyable pop-corn fare, if Liam Neeson shooting people is in your line of movies, then I would definitely recommend this one.
