Hindsight

You’ve heard me say it many times on the podcast before and I will probably say it many more times in the future, humans are humans, and humans suck…

"Human nature is evil, and goodness is caused by intentional activity." - Xun Kuang

I mentioned her in yesterday’s episode and made a comment about her music not being for me despite the fact that I’ve never heard her music before and I can’t say it’s not for me if I’ve never heard it, so I figure it’s time to give her music a quick listen…

"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." - Bob Marley

You know, in hindsight, I should’ve called this series something different since I talk about shows as well as movies but hey, too deep to change it now and one could make the argument that a show is just a really long movie broken down into many parts so perhaps this works out anyways. Either way, this episode is a little bit different in terms of movie talk, but I really like the format and I think you will too, you’ll see what I mean!

"The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege." - Charles Kuralt

And new trilogy has begun! This one is a pretty personal story and this particular episode took an eternity to make but that’s passion for you right?

"Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams." - Donovan Bailey

Sometimes I just go on tangents and in order to keep things not feeling too long I don’t talk about things that I want to talk about on that day and it’s sad. So I figured that the best way to right that wrong is by putting some of those things in their own episode!

"Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Nothing like finding another use for an essay that you had to write for class. I was beginning to think that I was forced to write all of these essays for no reason!

"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity." - Frank Leahy

They said being an idiot will get you nowhere and that simply isn’t true, it’ll get you a medal in the idiot olympics!

"Never underestimate the power of human stupidity." - Robert A. Heinlein

Happy wife, happy life? What if you’re not married? What if you’re the wife, is there no saying for you? Why is the happiness of my life tied to that of someone else’s? That doesn’t sound too healthy…

"Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open." - John Barrymore

Is this episode shorter than my usual episode? Yes, it is. Why is that? Well just read the title…

"Don't forget to tell yourself positive things daily! You must love yourself internally to glow externally." - Hannah Bronfman

The movie came out fast and all of us are furious although, we all knew this was coming the second we heard Vin Diesel’s voice say that the Fast Franchise was coming back to save theaters…

"I have inspiration and feelings of being alive most every day I live." - Judy Collins
