Since this blog IS for my random thoughts in a search for understanding and growth and all that crap....I guess this is my very first 'random thought' post of 2007...
I've just realized that I've been watching an unusually large amount of television and movies lately....the ULTIMATE escape from reality!!
I've tried many forms of escapism...the wine is really good to distance yourself from the reality that is your life; however it also distances you from everything else as well, including consciousness and functioning LOL! Also, with the wine the reality seems to slam back into you upon awakening at the rate of locomotive...DAMN THAT SMARTS!!!
Since I'm taking a sabatical from the wine (or at least a respectable break) I've found that my favorite form of escapism is watching television.
Unlike reading a book or even surfing the internet, both of which require some sort of action on your part, watching television is like COMPLETE SURRENDER! Once you have 'picked your poison' you just sit back and get sucked in! SWEET ESCAPE!
Movies are the best because you get a full 2 hours or so of 'out of body' experience!
Here's my list of recent escapes:
Just My Luck (received as a Christmas present by my daughter and actually a very good movie, and set in New York, which of course I'm obsessed with all things New York! In this movie they actually film in a room in the Hard Rock in Times Square where me, my Mom and the other band parents were provided a free buffet breakfast at 6:00am on parade day).
The Perfect Man (another present received by my daughter and also based in New York, well Brooklyn).
World Trade Center (yep, more New York and not so light but still a very good movie).
Yesterday I watched 4 episodes of the reality show 'Dirty Dancing' in a row! It was good stuff!
Last night I couldn't sleep, got tired of the internet and wound up watching the entire Magic Bullet infomercial (seen it before but it's one of my favorites) LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!
God I'm so pathetic....
