warning-serious bit(s) on the way

Ok I have no idea why I am doing this. This may be a prequel to a pretty serious one coming up soon. To be honest I’m not on particularly good form at the minute. A couple of people told me that even if I am the only person who reads this helps.

Wee bit annoyed that the movies I want to see are not showing any where near me (at the minute) and will be surprised if they are ever shown-so I’ll have to patiently wait for the dvds to come out.

The two movies? “20 feet from stardom” and “ the double”

“20 feet…” for the whole music thing the great backing singers-love that sort of stuff and looking at the soundtrack, it looks like music heaven to me-and I have a few of the songs in my collection.

“The Double” this is the new Richard Ayoade movie, staring Jesse Eisenberg-the guy from that movie about facebook (I know he’s done others, but to me that’s how I will always remember him-anyhow,) “The Double” is about this guy who is a real loser and he discovers he has an exact double-but this guy is everything that he is not :-successful, popular, has a really good life and all that. I am somewhat intrigued by these sort of movies. Other examples I can give are :- “groundhog day,” “about Time,” “Sliding Doors”- the whole parallel universe thing (you know bits were at certain points in our lifes when we do one little thing differently and it changes our future-I suppose the butterfly thing). There are quite a few things that I did in past I wish I could go back and do something else.

Now “the double” –I have heard people say that we all have a double somewhere. A doppelganger, a clone-call it what you want. I would love to meet my doppelganger  to see what he has made of HIS life to see if it’s as messed up as mine, to see if he made as many mistakes/wrong decisions as I did-or, dare I even wish this on anybody-is my situation the better of how many alternatives there is going on  out there?

Thinking of taking as break from the cycling this year-I seem to have lost interest in it. Maybe when the summer/good weather kicks in, I’ll change my mind.

I’ve signed up for a weekend photography thing down in Glencolm Cille in Donegal. I’ve been here a few times and really like this little village. The, now legendary 2011 ICS holiday stopped here-and I was there last year for a language/culture holiday. On this holiday I hope to pick up some new tips with taking pics  and processing. It’ll be nice to see if I am using elements/lightroom right.

Too be continued….but be prepared for a deadly serious one
