"life has a way of moving you past wants and hopes." that's spoken by the character kevin flynn, played by the dude, jeff bridges, in 'tron: legacy'. ain't nothin' too original, but it definitely struck a chord with me while i was watching the film. in 3-d, no less.
there's been a lot i've wanted. especially around december 25. and lord knows there's been plenty that i hoped for. usually after breakups. but those wants and hopes don't necessarily come to fruition. and though at the time i might be saddened and heartbroken, things usually turn out just fine regardless. and that's the thing i always forgot come the next christmas. or next "matt, it's not you, it's me" speech. life does this funny thing where you think you're about to hit a wall (on your light cycle!) when at the last second you take a sharp right and go in a completely different direction (and across the sea of simulation!)
and i think that's where i'm at right now. i was pretty sure i crashed into the wall a few months ago and figured i had derezzed (another tron reference for ye of little knowledge) but i'm still here. still chuggin' along, albeit slowly. but i think that's because life has something else intended for me. not sure what, not sure with whom. thought i knew but as time goes by, everything i knew changes.
so here i am. a guy, thrust into a world he doesn't know the first thing about. given a chance to lay low and become one with the grid, or take a chance and change everything about him. i have to think about it, cause it's not as easy an answer as you'd think.
but ok, cue the daft punk track, because i know exactly what i'm gonna do....
