A stand-off ensued. The SWAT team arrived. It was very stressful. I'm glad they're folding.<br /><br />I have been meaning to check out the Compassion Project for two reasons. First, it is an issue that is very close to my soul these last years. Second, some of Dana's comments make me think she's totally wacked—which is always a good thing coming from me. However, I fear yet another distraction from the main focus of my life: avoiding all paying (and potentially-paying) work. I'm sure I will make it there soon.<br /><br />But on to breathing beautifully (or chewing languidly—sorry, I could not make it alliterate). This morning, I read much of Naomi Klein's <i>The Shock Doctrine</i> for the second time. It made me so angry and sad—just like before. (I discuss it briefly on my site.)<br /><br />After a couple of hours of this, I knew I had to do something to head off a very bad day. So I put on one of my favorite films: <i>My Best Friend</i>. It isn't a great film, but it is one that I seem to like to watch over and over—like a child.<br /><br />I very much identify with both of the not completely likable main characters. And the friendship that they form—as beautiful a thing as I have seen—gives me hope for us all. And hope is also beautiful.<br /><br />I've written an essay about this film that will eventually get out of my notebook and onto my site, there is much more to say, but I am tired and it's kind of complicated—my thoughts, not the movie which really is a must-see.Frank Moraeshttp://www.franklycurious.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855802737317865685.post-14078617141391737502010-09-23T21:32:24.134-07:002010-09-23T21:32:24.134-07:00You are not rambling.
