I
have existential issues. I found that out when I was having a pretty good time
one day and then suddenly the words “THIS TOO WILL PASS” resounded in my mind.
Now, of course, that is a line to get out of those times when you’re feeling
overly angst-y and melancholic about something that isn’t really even something
to be melancholic because you have to just walk it off like a human being and
not whine about it and feel that every sad song is about you, you self-absorbed
miserable prick, but it’s also a line that you can apply to anything in life.
Got a Dog? That too will pass. Thoroughly enjoying a new book, game or
whatever? That too will pass. Finally whitened your teeth? That too will pass.
I suppose an inevitable reality of our life is that everything ‘passes’, which
is probably why we say that someone ‘passes away’ though I tend to prefer the
more eloquent ‘existence terminated’ and when I’m feeling brash and rebellious
I tend to prefer ‘died’.

I just watched... Bladerunner
I
find myself reaching a conclusion: Harrison Ford doesn’t play characters, he’s
just himself in all the movies that he seems to find himself in. Let’s take a
look at all his most iconic roles through adjective-based inquiries. Are they
smug? Rogues? Sly? Non-Paragons? Of questionable base morality? Not quite the
lover of rules? Now, which role am I talking about? Solo? Jones? How about all?
Despite all this I find it amusing how he manages to still fit the role well…
or does the role fit him? Oh dear the paradoxes.
