Adult magic does suck. Its CGI all the way.<br />I was too quick to post though. By the end, all satire &amp; symbolisn faded. I was just a kid lost in an adventure. What if it really could happen...?<br />Maybe magic is more about where you start, &amp; less about how the &#39;real&#39; world fails. <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00e398b76ac0000400e398eabbf50004" at:format="extra-large" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-extra-large photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/photo/6a00e398b76ac0000400e398eabbf50004.html"><img src="http://a5.vox.com/6a00e398b76ac0000400e398eabbf50004-500pi" alt="Early Judgement: Time Bandits" title="Early Judgement: Time Bandits" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/photo/6a00e398b76ac0000400e398eabbf50004.html" title="Early Judgement: Time Bandits">Early Judgement: Time Bandits</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/early-judgement-time-bandits.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00e398b76ac0000400f48ce925280002?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> moblog hope dreams confessions cynicism feeling good flick childhood magic http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/convos-on-love.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(Seamus Id) http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/convos-on-love.html?_c=feed-rss-full http://seamusid262.vox.com/library/post/convos-on-love.html?_c=feed-rss-full Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:13:34 -0600 <p>My best friend msged me...<br />-----»<br />-David: Promise me that I&#39;ll find my true love<br />-Me: I believe you&#39;ll find someone who makes you happy... Will that work?<br />-David: Ummmmm. No. I need my true love you cynic. LOL<br />-Me: You&#39;re asking me to make a promise based on a concept I don&#39;t believe in.<br />I believe in love... True love is greeting cards &amp; movies starring Freddie Prinze Jr.<br />-David: Booooo hisses. Cynic.<br />-David: The hopeless romantic in me says otherwise. Hope I&#39;m right<br />-Me: Hehe... I hope you are too.<br />-David: Thx<br />-David: The romantic in me has to believe<br />-Me: The romantic in me says simply &#39;I&#39;ll find someone who will fit.&#39;<br />-David: OMG. Not acceptable.<br />-----»<br />I wonder if I am a cynic...<br />-----»<br />-David: But, I&#39;m a Cancer. Everytime is like the first time. So true.<br />-Me: I give it my all every time. The first time didn&#39;t work out though...<br />-----»<br />Maybe I am a cynic...<br />I just think that I&#39;ve loved before. I do give my all every time &amp; I get crushed sometimes. Each time though, I recover.<br />I don&#39;t know about &#39;True Love&#39;. I think it&#39;s more a matter of timing...<br />Sometimes I&#39;m terrified by the idea that after every heart-break, there&#39;s a tiny piece I just don&#39;t get back. How long before what&#39;s left isn&#39;t enough?<br />Is that cynicism?<br />My simplistic view sounds like it, I grant. I just think that &#39;the one&#39; concept is too easy...a pitfall...<br />It&#39;s this idea that means you never have to try... He&#39;s not &#39;the one&#39; it requires work...<br />The test I took on OK! Cupid says I&#39;m 58% optimistic...
