The similarity between us & "God"

what truly captures me in a film is,
is the creative license, and imaginative freedom it provides.

Yes, the mere entertainment - the background music, aesthetic nature of the scenery, the amazement of the makeup and costume, the ingenious cinematography and the voice of our favourite actors and actresses - exists,
but beyond that lies a subtle vibe
that pulls me in even further,
and
that is the ability to make our imaginations vivid,
give them life.
The ability to use life - people - to bring about more life - characters - or the ability to totally create life - animations.
Its not just about the explosives,
incriminatingly beautiful women
and
high speed chase scenes,
for me,
the true action lies in the ability to say,

"hey, all these are happening, and they are happening from my imagination.

Value beyond description

I'm a fan of the belief that,
the use of highly sophisticated juxtaposion of words to describe,
a person,
an action,
or
any thing,
causes it to loose its value,
as it brings about subconscious expectance due to
misinterpretation of the descriptive juxtaposition.
That being one reason, isnt the only.
I also believe in most cases, it causes what is being described to be
rather more superficial than it actually is,
causing its value to exist in the description,
rather than its core.

If value doesnt speak for itself,
heavy duty words,
WONT.

Life and Love,

BONDS

You know that period when you owe someone some money, perhaps an acquaintance or a friend. You still partake in activities together, but something new happens; you all of a sudden tend to be conscious of this persons presence more often that usual :s
A period, were every single laughter spears through a certain force field between you and him/her, and brings about relief as to that tension that your mind creates between you two, which might only be an illusion from your ruminations. Questions slipping through your mind; what if i'm not able to pay him/her back when i promised? how would he react to that? Will it jeopardize our relationship? …

A moment comes when he/she with an unintended pawned question; "when did you say your mum was sending you the money again?", which consciously serves literarily as it is stated, and subconsciously serves as a reminder for your owing.

Prior to that moment, several minute conversations about the money owed - which warehouses casual mentions of your income and financial effectiveness - come around.

Now your promised payback date is fast approaching… your financial sources are not coming off very certain or profoundly reliable, but you still exert high expectations on them.

The closer your payback period comes, the higher the intensity of the how and if questions. You tell yourself about how the next time, you'll never have to borrow money again; you'll correct your bad habit of spending all your allowance and having to borrow so much money again...

[I'm giving you the liberty to take this story and chose what ever ending that suits you; do you payback on time, or do you not?
Have creative fun with it.]

Life and love,
