District 9

Tonight I plan to see District 9 with John.  I've heard it is a good movie, and truthfully that's more than I really wanted to know from other people.  People tend to like to ruin movies for other people.  I think it stems from the pressing need to demonstrate to others just how smart one person is...some kind of evolutionary trait that compels a person to share what they know with the community.

This behavior makes sense historically.  "Me Ogg.  Me know how make fire.  Look!"  Yeah, that might have been nice in ancient times or now in the context of general knowledge or science, but when it comes to movies...phew.  I like to know as little as possible about a movie before going to see it.  I don't want to know how other people rate it, any "insignificant" detail, or even that the opening credits used red lettering.  The point is that any detail someone reveals to me kills off that piece of the experience.  If it was cool enough to warrant noting and revealing to me later, perhaps I might have enjoyed that fresh experience as well?

Heh...enough movie rant.  In other news, I'm feeling much better today.  This morning I woke up and felt 100% "normal" again for the first time in probably a month or two.  No light headedness, no tiredness, no dizziness, no intestinal pain, no dehydration...nothing but normalcy.  This feels so good.  While I don't imagine it'll stick around, I'm certainly going to try and enjoy it while it lasts.  Eventually I'll figure out what is wrong with me.

I'm not a flashy guy by any means, but I'm sparkling

It's perhaps fitting that I'd choose a line from the song "Oh My God You're Weird" to describe my mood right now.  Never have I really been one to conform to what is considered normal.  While that in and of itself may be a conformity, its only consequence is irony.

Enough of that, though.  Why am I sparkling?  I'm feeling pretty good right now.  There are only two things that do that in life:  drugs and good moods.  In my case, it isn't the former.

For whatever reason, I'm feeling wholly good right now.  Lately, I've been getting whiffs of those good "general" feelings from the fun days of yesteryear.  Specifically, that feeling of day-to-day contentment that had no real cause, rhyme, or reason from when I was younger has been generously floating around.  While I've got no real reason as to why this may be, I am certainly enjoying it.

Things are going well.  This must be what normal people feel like.  It has been a long time for myself.
