We, as mortal souls on this planet, are driven by two sides: reasoning and emotion. There is delicate balance that must be struck between the two if one wishes to stay sane -- I'm quite confident in this conclusion. But different things drive the different sides. An inspiring song can make you feel 10 feet tall. Learning a new fact about life can offer the same feeling -- but more importantly you've just inched that much closer to being a much more reasonable human being because (wait for it!) you now know more than you did before. Is this a serious understating of the two sides? Probably...but I think you get the point.
The problem we often run into is that these sides are warring within us quite often. "Which side do I let win the fight today? The side that wants the adrenaline rush of jumping from a plane and the majesty of that ride down to terra firma...or the side that says 'you know what, chance of death less likely if you're not hurling your body through the air at 120 miles per hour!'" So, I pledge a truce...well, no, not a truce...an equal opportunity to be enlightened by feeding both sides.
On this site, soon, you'll begin to find movie reviews, music reviews, favorite quotes, ponderances, controversial debates and mundane blah, blah, blah-ing from our world. I can't promise I'll always make sense...and I can't guarantee you'll even care...but I can assure you that I will make every effort to make your day a bit better by at least pointing you in a positive direction about this stuff we call life. And, "no", I don't profess to be a guru or an expert or anything of the sort...I'm just a guy with a family trying to make it through this life in good order -- and bring as many with me along for the ride as I can. So, let's have some fun...and maybe be illuminated along the way! Until next time...may you be lifted up!
