I was awakened today by the sound of a nuclear missile hitting in the valley. once I jumped across the bed and was in the middle of the bedroom floor screaming like a dying madman, the sound passed and we were okay. it turned out only to be a jet flying way too low. still I turned on the television to check and see if there were any insane developments, but there weren’t. they’re still talking about the Chandra Levy remains, understandable.
I couldn’t really go back to bed by this time, so I showered and as planned, went to a movie. it was a good one. Insomnia. Al Pacino is one of my all time favorites. to me the moral is plain and simple – flat out don’t lie. be as truthful as you can about everything. be strong like that. when you lie you screw things up. the lie expands and comes back for you, blows up in your face, hurts people, kills people (especially in movies). what you might think is a small lie can do a lot of damage. so you have to ask yourself is really worth it? are you really getting ahead? can you live with yourself knowing you cheated? does it really make you feel safe or superior to have a secret? all it takes is one person to find out and you’re an instant slave. until next time, stay honest and away from nuclear missiles.
