And Now, The Moment I Have Been Waiting For

Today, I worked on computers. But, it was not the only thing I accomplished. I watched a movie called The Goonies. I have seen the movie a few times, but when i was much younger. Now that I have seen it as an adult, here is what I thought. It was a distracting, silly, and utterly confused movie. It didn't know what kind of a film to be. It wanted to be everything to all ages. In the end, however, I am able to forgive it, since I thought a whole lot more of the film when I was a lot younger.

It is a film that touches on something all people want to have experienced as a child. Okay, most people. I think that deep down a lot of people want to have that "last adventure" before they become adults. The chance to do something great that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. To have that last gasp before entering into the real world -- whatever that is. We want to see that hidden world which is lost to all of us at some point in our lives. We grow up, we get old, we just plain want to get something out of life. Unfortunately, I don't think that the meaning of life is in the adult world. Stories like The Goonies, is the adventure we crave. We don't crave getting up, going to a job, and then coming home to go to bed. We want adventure. Silly films like the Goonies fill that gap. Things like Indiana Jones, Star Trek and Star Wars fill that gap. Anyway, it was interesting. I always wanted to be a Goonie.

Anyway, I also posted the One Minute Poems. Check them out and let me know what you think. Just remember, they were written in less than 60 seconds!Tags: poems, poetry
