I'm afraid alright. I'm afraid if they don't start making some movies that actually have a plot and some decent acting and interesting characters I'm gonna have to take drastic measures with netflix and comcast - as in cancel that stupid shit.

I have started my 90s collection. Stuff like Shine, The Shawshank Redemption, hell even Independance Day blew my mind again when i saw it last week. Films used to be GOOD. Even the bad action flicks like Terminator were actually damn good by todays standards. I weep for art as a whole.

I've been gravitating more toward Indie and foreign films. The French are still into art. Hollywood has morphed into something more akin to a fucking perpetual bowel movement. Every once in a while someone with talent sneaks something thru their filtration system. But for the most part, they just try to sell people on flashy trinkets and fake junk while hoping to convince them that they're buying real jewels. And apparently, people are fairly satisfied with that.

All the good art is happening on games consoles. Why? You still cannot download a copy of an xbox title. And the next gen consoles... holy shit. It is the only industry interested in my music. Same goes for writers and animators etc. Set designers and sound engineers. Games are where the work is so the creativity is going there now. I git into it only 6 months or so ago and have had my mind blown over and over. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood was to date my favorite entertainment experience. Great story and because I was kinda living it the emotional investment was intense. Took week or two to finish. Every second was awesome. Film is dead.

I think this ia the part that makes it irrational. Like if I had to say I have an irrational fear of getting shot, the most logical response would be "dude you are South African, no question of IF you will get shot but WHEN. Totally rational fear"... If we had to talk RATIONAL fears i will do your heads in. My country has people murdering each other for water. I am shitting myself on some very rational levels. Anybody ovet there need a slave? Get me out of here. I am fucking scared as fuck.

I'm afraid of how people I love will react when other people that I love die.

I'm afraid of huge roller coasters.


I'm afraid and I'm not scared to admit it.

I'm afraid that I'm doing nothing worthy in my life and slowley degrading phisically and mentally. I'm scared of what the future brings and how I will be in said future. This thought is on my mind everyday.
