The Wrestler

I am not much of a fan of Wrestling, or more importantly tear-jerky movies. And by the title, "The Wrestler (2008)" I wasn't expecting that, but this movie really made my eyes wet. Mickey, (also seen in Sin City) did great acting, really commendable...

I wonder how many people have lived life, experienced and is mature enough to see pass the striptease scenes and understand the underline message, more importantly feel this movie and the song? For the lyrics I had to listen to the song a couple of times, and I hate this feeling...

This movie is really for the adults, if you have a heart and can feel, I highly recommend this. Of course, go for a reality check after watching!

WARNING: This movie is Rated R for violence, sexuality/nudity, language and some drug use.

Some quotes from the movie!

Randy: 'I just want to tell you, I'm the one who was supposed to take care of everything. I'm the one who was supposed to make everything okay for everybody. It just didn't work out like that. And I left. I left you. You never did anything wrong. I used to try to forget about you. I used to try to pretend that you didn't exist, but I can't. You're my girl. You're my little girl. And now, I'm an old broken down piece of meat... and I'm alone. And I deserve to be all alone. I just don't want you to hate me.'

Randy: 'I just want to say to you all tonight I'm very grateful to be here. A lot of people told me that I'd never wrestle again and that's all I do. You know, if you live hard and play hard and you burn the candle at both ends, you pay the price for it. You know in this life you can loose everything you love, everything that loves you. Now I don't hear as good as I used to and I forget stuff and I aint as pretty as I used to be but god damn it I'm still standing here and I'm The Ram. As times goes by, as times goes by, they say "he's washed up", "he's finished" , "he's a loser", "he's all through". You know what? The only one that's going to tell me when I'm through doing my thing is you people here.'

Last for your read, here is the lyrics!

Bruce Springsteen, The Wrestler

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the fields so happy and free?
If you’ve ever seen a one trick pony then you’ve seen me
Have you ever seen a one legged dog making his way down the street?
If you’ve ever seen a one legged dog then you’ve seen me

Then you’ve seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you’ve seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you’ve seen me, but I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me friend can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you’ve ever seen that scarecrow then you’ve seen me
Have you ever seen a one armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you’ve ever seen a one armed man then you’ve seen me

Then you’ve seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you’ve seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you’ve seen me, but I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me friend can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

These things that have comforted me I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith’s in the broken bones and bruises I display

Have you ever seen a one legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you’ve ever seen that one legged man then you’ve seen me.

I am craving to play...

Big changes are in the horizon, mountain huge changes. As for now, it is the time to be a part of a yet another small but important project. So much money spend on so many unplanned expenses! Friends are a source of encouragement and not to mention the ideas and helping hands. Well, the current status looks a bit dire but I can't afford to give up, not now. It is said that God is with the perseverance, and if I can stick up for a couple of days, things always settle down in the clam lands. On the other hand, it is always more exciting to embrace the unknown and swim into the bedlam! No, stability and security doesn't excite me. What is more exciting than moving through the day without much restraining disciple or structure. All in all, chaos is better than boredom.

I have got a mild headache, 24/7! Lets blame it on the fact that I did not sleep last night and the demanding work schedule. Some relationships and memories are just isn't what they are! It is hard to admit somethings heavy and hard are going under the surface, full of nuances. Whenever I love, I end up hurting the one I love. It is funny how it repeats time after time. Well, I guess it is time to mend the relationships and friendships that are bothering me. So it is either to give it another try, or exercise self-control and avoid the temptations that might haunt me in small dozes for the rest of my life.

Business goals are a long shot, things won't move for the next couple of months. The only way to make the impossible to come is perseverance, I have done it in the past, so let's do it again. What is keeping me going, possibly it is my obsessions. However, my obsessions are under control, like no one will ever believe or understand! Though this sounds wrong, I have to tell you that this feels so right, 'My problems are mine and no other can shoulder it for me'. Waiting for the time to sign some legal papers. At hard times like this, the game is in taking the business to the next level and I am craving to play...

I long to richly reward for accommodating my wishes!

The endless phone calls, the enlightening and stimulating conversations of dreamy worlds. The exchange of gifts, cards and whatnot! The commitments and little promises. Well, haven't done those for a long, long time. I am not ready it says, it is not the time to forget to hang up as the time goes by! Well, catching up is fun at times, but have no plans to do it for a while!
Actually right now, I only take physical presences. If you know what I want, I long to richly reward, by that what was given, for accommodating my wishes! ;)

Say goodbye to your empty wallet!

So they say we are in a recession, well do you want to learn how to be recession-proof? Is your economic status up to your wanting? Are you satisfied with your bank account? More importantly are you living to your satisfaction? Or are you happy being a multi-bikaaree?

Truth is, the real problem is not money, it is just a manifestation of a bigger problem? Just stop by to smell a rose to learn what really made you what you are today? Do you qualify to do that?

Well, simple facts of life! If you don't have a bank account, it cannot be zero! If you don't want what you cannot get, you simply don't need it! If you don't have a wallet it can never be empty!
Sense the real beauty and benefit of in helping one another, caring one another, looking after one another! The real brotherhood that we all only hear of, is the cure. So like the care-bears, say I care and all at once, say goodbye to your empty wallet!

Time to take more sleep than I can take

When we believe that the end justifies the mean, at least as far as I know, it get things done! When relationships are tense it is far better to refrain from disputes and change the view of sentimentalism! The period of discouragements, most of the time, leads to moments of euphoria... But is it worth the effort? Most old memories are both dark and cloudy! I am stuck in an island with no profit but lot of time on my hand to get my work done, to liquidate what is doable! I guess it is time to take more sleep than I can take!

Strip off your cloths in a cloth shop

Why do we wear cloths? To cover our nakedness? Well, that is a good enough reason but I guess it should be more than that! What we wear is a part of us, just look at a mirror if you need proof! What you wear makes you, an addition to how you want to be seen for and by others. But how many have this sense of style, a self projection of how you want to be seen with what you wear? Or how many wear what they really want to wear? This is not about money, but it is about style!

So next time when you go out shopping don't be afraid to try different styles on the mirror to see how it look on you! And remember that feeling when you strip off your cloths in a cloth shop!

When things change, people around also change!

We all first have to imagine something before we can achieve it! What to do with a divine like guide of a state-of-the-art design force? Design, the process of gluing free will and intention, along with some favourable breeze from the natural principles to actions.

Few of the uncertainties that have been lingering around for the past few days are all gone, time to make some solid moves. Time to get rid of headaches and nuisances. It is amazing how we humans forget the days of hardship once we are rescued by the waves of blessing. One thing is clear, when things change, people around also change!
