I was watching Rocky 4 today while resting from the holiday nothingness. And I watched the speech between Adrian and Rocky that took place before the big music montage. It was after Apollos funeral but before Rock went to Russia. And Rocky went on and on about how Drago was going to have to decide if he was willing to stand in front of Rocky and fight him.
It was probably the most metaphysical moment in all of the Rocky movies, and I think it was pretty cool. This idea that someone is going to step in front of you, and accept the challenge. I find this sort of thing to be super cool. The idea that we are going to fight for some point of survival, that is completely cool, because some of this is just a fucking endless discussion.
I hate that I am some how angrily obsessed with a few people on twitter. Local people too. People I actually know, and have some level of intimacy with. I am not sure why they annoy me so much, I think it comes down to the ever present need for observation, this observer status. Not as a commnet, but rather as something as I percieve as observer as status symbol.
They want to claim to be someplace. To be somewhere with someone , as if to point to themselves as amazing in standing next to that other. I have no idea why.
More than that I have no idea why I give a shit.
Last week I ran into Courtney out. I have known C my whole life, last summer we fooled around a little bit. I probably was less than satsifying on the intimacy thing for her. But, I liked it. We never really got out of bed before it just sort of fizzled. It was nice to see her though. I think she was on a date with this dude I know only sort of by name and having met him a few times.
I actually sort of felt jealous for a tinge. But, that passed, so that was cool.
Got through the Xmas holiday, and now I am putting jazz music on my ipod. Tomorrow I am going to figure out my new Playstation 3
