The Knight is Dark indeed
Unlike most iconic hero movie which leaves those impressionables inspired to be a hero, this doesn't. It shows the many dark and difficult decisions he would have to make. I wont want to be him.
The joker... likes to use a knife to end one's life. He feels that its slower, allowing the last few moments of a person's life to reveal their true self. Or rather, the ugly side of mankind.
But I feel everyone has a good and an ugly side. Which side we choose to live by, makes us who we really are. By focusing or trying to bring out that ugly side will not make the world a better place.
However...
I might be able to see how the joker came to be. When a person is pushed beyond despair, they snap. As Hope and Dreams are crushed, Despair and Chaos emerges. Hope is what keeps us alive. Despair, Chaos and eventually Darkness, is easier, because it is surrender. And the need for him to show to others, that madness, chaos and darkness is mankind's true nature, is the need for justification.
This is not a movie about heros, it is about mankind.

From Pushing Daisies
Pushing Daisies
Beautifully worded:
"....though she was not yet ready to let go of the hope that her perfect guy's perfect happiness, might lie with her."
Ned:"We wake up everyday with a list of wishes a mile long. And maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true, but just because we want them doesn't mean we need them to be happy."
Chuck:"What do you need to be happy?"
Ned:"You."

All the makings of a good movie, but unfortunately it isnt.
Enjoyable nevertheless.
Upon failure and depression.
Strangers meet.
Fall in love.
Road Trip.
Lessons of life, failure, courage and greatness.
"Success, not greatness, was the only god the entire world served"
"Sadness is easier, because it is surrender."

Being Sick while Away
Oh great. Being sick while overseas is just so not economical. It drives down my efficiency per dollar spend on the trip by 1 day less....
Stomach Flu is the word.. any cures anyone can suggest?
Currently, I am sticking to strictly liquid diet, and charcoal pills. Plenty of rest, and cross my fingers to wish I recover tomorrow.
Wish List:
- Ginger ( for getting rid of the wind )
- Yakult ( for friendly germs to cure my tummy)
- Pocari Sweat ( for salt )

Being Away
Being away really helps you to reflect and relook at your life. It allows you to stone to your heart's content. Listening to your favorate tunes while looking at the mountains, rivers and padi fields zoom by leaves you nothing better to do than to think. A rare activity I seldom have the luxury of, ever since I leaped into the rat-race.
It also allows you to experience new things and see different people and come up with totally irrelevant epiphanies while doing so... Heres one to share;
"With The Unknown, comes Hope."
~Maneless~
Thus, Fear Not the unknown, but embrace it with enthusiasum.

Exercise Sunday
At the peak of my insanity..... I dragged myself out of my comfy bed and air-conditioned room this morning... to sweat under the hot sun.
I believe I deserve some sort of medal for this level of determination. Maybe an award of some sort?
I just love the feeling of wind in my face. And as I cruise down ECP, I stare up, into the deep blue sky. With the sun's smile peering through the leaves.
