It's the strangest thing. I haven't thought about this movie / story in a long time. Earlier today I was speaking to a friend of mine about it. Sure enough when I got home it was on. Certain stories can have an impact on you or stay with you without you even knowing it. There's many of them out there. Stuff from Shakespeare, Dickens, Hawthorne, whatever. Some things you may have been told to read in school growing up, some you randomly stumble upon. Many things make up the person we are today, all I can say is.. try not to forget about the things that make up the core of your being because in the end, the only one that can be held accountable for your thoughts and actions is yourself.

What are a couple old stories that I still like that may have influenced me?
The Good Earth by Peal Buck
On the Beach by Nevil Shute
Romeo And Juliet by William Shakespeare
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Mono - Life in Mono (Ingenue)
The stranger sang a theme
from someone else?s dream
the leaves began to fall
and no one spoke at all
but I can?t seem to recall
when you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don?t know what to do
The tree-lined avenue
begins to fade from view
drowning past regrets
in tea and cigarettes
but I can?t seem to forget
when you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don?t know what to do

You wanna talk weird? I just read this post now, after having walked up from the train station this morning listening to my iPod's random selection of... Ingenue. Which it hasn't played ever, I don't think.
See what you started??

PS: So what was the movie in question??? (Great Expectations?)
Yeah.. damn movie. Wow if I can start something weird like that.. let's try.. You know what's weird when you're walking down the street and someone runs up and gives you a suitcase full of money! (I'll be waiting for that one).
