On Hearing of the Movie Bucket List

So make a list, nothing wrong with one more unfulfilled dream

All the things
you’ve wanted to do with
life
but didn’t
because
of…
What? Hard to
tell
scared of
chance
scared of
anything
that isn’t
planned
tied down
with all
the things
everyone
says I should
be
but aren’t

Leaves you
feeling lost
beside your
life
not knowing
what to do
failing them
failing me
so now
when the only thing
left
to do is die
I have to make up
for all the things
I’ve wanted
desired
but set aside
and now
it’s much, much
too late
to make amends

So make a list,  nothing wrong
with one more unfulfilled
dream

The King of Kong – somewhat like a review…

I just finished watching the King of Kong sans any of the special features which might update the story a little. All I can say is that Billy Mitchell is a coward. That, and I don’t know why I find myself caring so much about Donkey Kong. But, I do and that is the power of this documentary that chronicles the goal of a laid off middle aged American man trying to make his life have some meaning… and his struggle to enter into the somewhat obscure and very “selective” world of classic video game records. Not going to say anything more, just that this is a great character study and a wonderful story of good vs. evil

Go Steve Weibe!
