Invictus

I saw this movie a few days ago with my brother and it was pretty emotional, I really liked it. Movies are supposed to move. If you ever have a spare pair of hours I strongly recommend you watch it. Not only does the music remind of the long-loved Disney classic "The Lion King", but it has plenty of content without being overly heavy for that matter. Another very valid reason to watch it would be getting to hear Morgan Freeman interpret the poem "Invictus", this could however also be done just by searching for it on youtube. It's a very good poem, I must say. Something I might actually want to ink myself with someday...

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

- William Ernest Henley (1848-1903),

So please wont you tell me where the road will end, got me a bottle as my only friend...

Today I went to court. It was my first time there.. I'd stolen a few beers at a liquor store you know, I mean, what can I say, I was in Amy Winehouse-mode and felt I had to live a little. Okay no, but I went there to attend a trial concerning drunk driving and I got really empathic with the accused. He was declared guilty but got to go through a rehabiliation program for a few months instead of jail, as he had had troubles with drinking before.

I also went for an ice cream with a friend who told me something that I've thought a lot about since.

He said that you go from liking/loving to disliking/hating someone first when you know for sure that they can't be yours. The more I think about it, the more true it seems, it would actually explain a lot of stuff. People keep trying to get their "beloved" until they know it won't work at all, that is when they start seeing all the bad sides that come with the person in question as opposed to what the situation was like earlier when they were longing for all of those many good things the person brought with him/her.

Funny how our minds work!
