What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
Hurt, Trent Reznor
For the ending Peter Jackson made for Return of the King, I must say it is the most heart-wrenching I have seen since The Green Mile.
I'll admit it, I cried twice. Once for the summation of the theme of "The Small and Lowly are Mighty" after Aragorn's coronation on Minas Tirith (you all know it happens, the book's have been out since the 1950's, I just won't tell you what Jackson did, have to see it yourself). And then again, when they all stand in the Gray Havens and say their good-byes (just as heart-wrenching to read it, I always had the most trouble with the first five chapters and then the last two chapters).
Well done, Mr. Jackson, well done.
Which leaves me with finishing off the Dune series and then ... well, then I dunno, I have a few books to read (Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, I want to go over the 9/11 commission report once again that and a huge book on C#), and book of my own to write on my philosophy regarding computers (a sort of introduction for people, to give them knowledge, which gives them power, and start freeing them from some of the dumber ideas that have surrounded computers since the 1980's (and hopefully starting to wrest computer's back from the same kind of business ass-hats that believed there was only a market in the world for a few computers)). Hopefully I can get that done in-between YIG and some work at school and before school resumes on the 18th.
Eeesh, I just can't stop setting these huge hurdles.
I'll probably never be able to slow down, I'll just keep running, plowing ahead like some blind locomotive.
