CHUD - Cinematic Happenings Under Development

Love without the bonds of morality: Love transcends morality. Love and morality have no link whatever. Is this an accurate representation of the mind of our age? Maybe I'm suffering from a severe case of (false) superiority, I hope not... I'd rather it be a case of severe desire for a higher standard.

So I watch a movie looking to gain insight on the past and in doing so I hope to gain lessons for the future, some that would never really apply to me but in a microcosm of the scale of the tale. Ultimately however, as I sit among a theater-full, I realise that this is not what people come for, at least not the majority. Instead, for the guy, the girls are cute and the fights are fun; for the woman the guys are attractive and adorable and oh! The kissing, how romantic...

And so another briny wave of raw emotionalism and passion erodes the stone of considered morality. Nothing against passion, but even the hippies had the background of a brain...? Where do we stand today? Thinking is for the mind, not the skin.

Can I say it?

They say love is an action
well maybe I agree
But how do I deal with
the way that I feel?
Does it mean that I'm only
lacking self control
or can I be excused
for having a soul?

I want you forever
but you're not mine to get
I don't even know
if you have the same regret
They say holding on
to dreams is insane
but I'd rather be crazy
than empty and plain

so humor the dreamer
allow me my folly
what else do I have
I don't care what you call me
My one true request
that my heart is screaming
is to turn your eyes to me
and end this my dreaming

Firefox - The Browser, Reloaded

Firefox - The Browser, Reloaded
OK, took the plunge, made the change - IE to FireFox. Am I a pawn in the hands of the masses? A pathetic compromiser? Who knows. Maybe my life in the complex world of XHTML and CSS and Standards has changed forever. Maybe it's not that and I've just switched to a faster browser. Who knows, time will tell. I hope I don't have to switch back for some stupid reason.
