Otherwise life really then becomes a series of distractions from myself -- and cinema has been that for me every bit as much as it has been a means of self-fulfillment. oh i wouldn’t say that. these days, i haven’t seen fewer films than i have since i started keeping an online journal (the time is being redirected towards work and meditation). i’m seeing less but i’m more attentive and appreciative of what i’m seeing than i’ve ever been. and i definitely want that increased attentiveness to apply to anything else i do with my time. that’s really what i was trying to say: that I don’t want to do things without a sense of purpose and appreciation.

Regardless, I wish I had been there.
