Can't sleep. Just watched a movie called 'The Weatherman' starring Nicholas Cage.

Nicholas Cage... He's really popular here in China. But the locals say his name rebuilt from chinese characters, so they sound like robotic "special" olympians when they say it.

He's been quite an influence in my life actually, seems to always follow me through some means or another. From my first to my last, every one of my girlfriends has thought he was "really handsome" or "really sexy." Despite that, I like him alot myself actually. He's got the look of a man with a good soul. He makes good movies. He seems like a nice guy.

How sad would it be if in real life, he were a dick... Oh well, maybe I'll meet im someday and find out.

Anyway, his movies often touch me... for whatever reason. And tonight, I watched "The Weatherman."

Adult life is not easy, you have to work hard to make it work.
The right thing and the hard thing are usually the same.
Sometimes you have to chuck the shit in life.
Life didn't turn out how I expected.
At the end all that was left was me.

Now word for word, I can't say I agree with all of it precisely. I guess people see what they want to see in things, and I took hope away from this, some reaffirmation, and a bit of guidance. This is how I translated it - Life will change. To some degree, you can direct it, but it wont be easy, it will take hard work, and the result won't be exactly what you expected. But if you try hard, you can still make something good out of the unexpected mess.

All in all, a good message.
