Chappie

On Friday I went to see the movie Chappie, written by Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tachell.  It's about a robot who gets uploaded to think and feel for itself.  Artificial intelligence and what it may look like in the near future.  The action sequences were pretty over the top and for those fan boys/girls who need the adrenaline rush, it will certainly fill that void.
What was touching about this movie is the robot's coming to terms with it's own mortality and the lengths he would go to for self-preservation. That is the story that intrigued me more.  It has some humorous scenes with the robot trying to understand the world around him.  A film definitely worth catching on the big screen.  Hoo-Rah!

Wednesday Rains

Oh Wednesday, that insipid day in the middle of the week.  I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.  There is a saying that goes if you want to start your day right, you get up with purpose.  Hmmm.  I think my purpose is on snooze. I want to crawl back into bed, pull the duvet over my head and call it a day.  I know it's the old ostrich maneuver not wanting to face what this day will bring. I have my hair wrapped up in a towel willing it to dry whilst writing this entry, when really I should be getting ready for work.  I need to leave in 10 minutes but I'm not sure I'm ready to face the cold rain or the packed train.  And the longer I wait, the worse it will be.  * Sigh *  I need some traveling music.  A-ha!  Avicci's Wake Me Up will be my morning song.  May the day be a blessing!!

Peace,

Monday Morning

the day is cold, damp
sun light diffused
by cloud cover
thin pale lumen
reflected on ice
patches, frozen
sidewalk, crackling
footsteps beneath
a quiet dawn blooms
