I now have a subscription to Netflix. I have to say that I am quite the satisfied customer and highly recommend it. As I started to watch a lot of movies, the thought of doing a blog came entering into my head. I thought, what better to write about than all of the movies that I am watching? That would provide plenty of material. So the idea would be to write my thoughts on the constant movies I would watch, criticize them, and more. My first two postings on this blog followed along that line, as you can tell by my critique of Eagle Eye. I even considered watching one movie every day for a year, sort of a Julie and Julia ripoff. This idea merged into the potential of a blog, a blog about my views of movies. And so, I needed a title for this intended blog. I needed something like movie madness, though that sounded like it had been done before. Suddenly the word Mayhem bursted into my skull. Movie Mayhem. Sounded catchy and original, it caught the meaning of the blog I wanted to convey. Of course, someone already had the html of moviemayhem on blogspot, so I did something like mayhemandmovies.
I of course got over that idea the next morning. The idea of repeatedly analyzing movies when there is a plethora of material in my life to write about just seems like a wasteful idea. I of course would, and will, write thoughts about the occasional movie, but I really wanted to write about what I was thinking. My mind often veers off somewhere when I have been sitting in class for too long or am walking back to my car from class. Wherever my mind goes, that's where I want to write from, and write about.
I think all of us agree that our lives have its ups and downs, occasionally at the same time. For me, I am currently attending a busy summer school, focusing hard on homework and working an easy work schedule on Friday nights and Saturday mornings. I often, to my own exaggeration, feel busy, stressed, and pressured. But there are times, when maybe 9 o'clock at night comes along, that I feel at peace. My list has been checked, I have trudged through the day, and now can rest. Often my days and life feels like this. A combination of Peace and Mayhem. I would like to believe that we all have peace and mayhem in our lives. Some have more peace than mayhem, and vice verse. But I write to expound about the peace and mayhem of my life, the good and the bad, the rest and the stress. This is my Peace and Mayhem.
