Soul Searching (Continued)

It has been several weeks since I've written anything, and I really shouldn't be writing this now considering how much work I have to do for my classes. But I don't feel like working (surprise, surprise), so I'm writing for myself (and anyone interested enough in me to read this junk) instead of for professors.

So for anyone who didn't know, last weekend I got a surge of spontaneity and decided to hit the road. For no other reason than that I've been to the north, east, and west already in the last month, I decided to head south.   After riding for a couple of hours, I figured I should make a decision on a more specific destination... considered Miami for a bit, but eventually settled on Charleston. And my little vacation was alright... not great, but not terrible either. It was good to get away from Hickory for a while.

If nothing else, my spontaneous vacation gave me plenty of time to drive around, burn through my budget, and lose myself in thought. I did manage to get some work done for class while I was in Charleston, but the assignment required watching Good Will Hunting and it kind of threw me for a loop. Don't get me wrong... Good Will Hunting is an awesome movie. It's classified as a drama and I still like it. That alone speaks to its awesomeness. In fact, Good Will Hunting has one of my favorite movie scenes of all time:



However, as much as I like the movie, certain parts of the film are much more difficult to watch... much more thought provoking. This scene in particular is difficult for me right now:

I'm going to leave it at that... because if there is a character limit for blogger, I might reach it if I actually write all of this mess down. I mentioned the other day that it's a good thing nobody can read my mind, because they might think I'm unstable. I was joking at the time, but it might not be that far from the truth. Soul searching is good... but it sure hasn't made me feel any more stable lately.

I think I'm going to watch the movie again before I go to bed. Maybe I'm not unstable. Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment.
