ok... somtimes when i watch a film i get completely drawn in it to and find it difficult to come back to reality after, i end up feelinmg depreesed for days, maybe weeks because i know life will never be like a film and i so want it to be. Where everything happens for a reason, bad guys get whats coming to them, and good people get good things happen to them. ok so not all films are like this but the ones that are really get to me. Even things like the way music plays on a film at the exact right momen with the exact right tone of sadness or happyness, wouldnt it be amazing if it would happen in real life?! I guess i just wish that little annoying things in life didnt exist aswell, like birds pooing on your head or getting caught short and having to go in a field. Running out of petrol, people being mean, getting spots, getting fat etc etc etc. Wouldnt it be great if none of these existed....

Yes, it would. But they do. Even for the people who make the fucking movies.

I'm a science fiction/satire writer myself, and I write as if I were writing for film. I try to put significance into every element of the story, make every event, howsoever small, have some kind of impact or meaning as it relates to the story as a whole. But in life, is any event, however insignificant or annoying it may seem at the time, truly discountable as something we wouldn't want in our life's story, lacking in meaning, just "garbage" that if we were writing our story we'd edit out? Maybe everything has meaning and significance if we look for it, and, whether it seems good or bad, will somehow contribute to the whole as something we wouldn't have left out if we were the writer and knew the overall outcome.

I like to interject some bothersome little details into my stories just to add a touch of humor, or to let the reader know that sometimes s**t just happens and that's life for all of us. It helps us to relate to others who've also experienced those pesky flies-in-the-soup that inevitably spoil everyone's dinner, every now and then.

I think that everything does happen for a reason, I just don't know what that reason is.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
