Movies that Make You Think

Watched "V for Vendetta" tonight, finally. I know I'm a little past late, but at least I saw it, huh? Interesting movie. Made me think about things around us. About the government and their incessant need to know what's going on in our lives. It's not unforeseeable that our government could do something similar to what was represented in the film. People need to think about their own lives when offered the chance to participate in the decision-making process of the government. My favorite line from the movie: "People should not be afraid of the government, the government should be afraid of the people." Great line.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day. Took my wife out to lunch today with her parents. Managed to bum out her lunch by getting mad at my daughter. I don't know why I get mad, I just do. Apologized like it was cool. She's still a little perturbed. I think she believes that the rage of my father and from my youth may still be present in me today. She could be right, although I've not had one incident in 5 years or so. I think I've grown up beyond acting like that. Maybe I have, maybe I haven't.

Going to breakfast tomorrow morning with her parents and the rest of the family. Some may ask why I haven't mentioned my family. My mom died two years ago and I have no reason to wish her a happy day. She knew I loved her and I do miss her. The rest of my family can suck it. That's all. Later.
