Mindless Entertainment
08.20.05 (2:54 am) [edit]I had a rough day yesterday. You know how it is, every once in awhile you look ok on the outside; do your job, interact ok with others, smile and laugh at jokes, but inside you feel like your dying. I felt really out of it yesterday, disconnected, tired, and could not really do anything except work. After work I tried to read, couldn't; tended to fall asleep. Could not pray felt like a moth beating up against an infinitely high glass wall, my mind was sluggish, restless and tired at the same time. So I got out my A-team series and watched them for a couple of hours.
The A-team is a great series...ok, ok....I know that if you saw one episode you sort of saw them all; plots always the same, sequences pretty much follow the same pattern, but isn't it wonderful! Just think a world were the bad guys get taught a lesson, wrongs are righted, car chases, great wrecks, lots of explosions and gunfire....any yet.....no ones is killed or even hurt; now that is entertainment, mindless true, but sometimes that is the best kind, at least for me. Let the brain rest in a good silly plot, with no harm to anyone.
I love the car wrecks. Three men in a jeep, no seat belts, the jeep hits "something or another", different in each episode; flies up and seems to travel about 500 feet, lands on its top, rolls about six times, and, and, behold the men in the jeep are just stunned....yep a nice world to live in.
Murdock crazy as a loon, always on some inner adventure that leaks out into the collective life of the A-Team....yep fun and perhaps a healthy escape once in awhile, good for the mind if not the soul....well good for the soul also. I think action films are for men, what chocolate is for women.
There are just some days.......
Peace
