satchmo satchmo“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. -- Samuel Beckett”
I got up at 5 am, and went downstairs to watch a movie by myself.

It's a peaceful time of the day. 5 am on a Saturday is typically very quiet.

"Conversation with Other Women" put me in a sentimental mood.

I am a sentimental person to begin with, so the film just accentuated that aspect of me.

I was particularly sentimental about my son this morning. After he woke up, I carried him like a baby to the living room to have breakfast, and I spoon-fed him myself. Pretty soon, he wouldn't want me to feed him anymore.

I am missing the past when the past is still the present.

I have to recognize, I drop a tear or two when watching genuine dramas or profound-inspiring movies.

Emotion always trumps apathy.

Apathy is the worst state of being.

How about Shawshank Redemption? It's the ultimate dramatic and uplifting film.
