Superman Returns.
One year later...
It has been 365 days since my last post. In that time I have fallen deeply in love, moved into one house with that love (and my sister) and am now preparing to move into another place with my love (sans the sister). Now, for all seven of you who read this blog while it was highly active, you are probably saying "What?! That's it! A year's worth of your MAGNANIMOUS life and that is the update we get?!"
Yes.
When I recently decided to choose this day to begin writing again on my blog, I made another important decision regarding this blog: Streamlining. Or cutting out the fat. Or downsizing. Call it what you will. But from now on, this little corner of cyberspace labeled "MINE" will only be used when I feel like I have something worthwhile to say. You see in this same last year, the cultural phenomenon known as 'blogging' has exploded into a mainstream industry, giving us access not only to the innermost thoughts of ingenious writers, comedians, historians etc., but also the worthless, ranting idealogies of religious fanatics and purtifying political pundits. And, um....who am I forgetting...Oh, yes! EVERYONE ELSE! Now most average folk simply use these things as on online journal. And most of the time, it works. If they are someone you know (or maybe you don't) and you read their blog consistenly, every now and then a little seed of wisdom or inspiring philosophy is bound to pop up. And the pictures! Boy, do people take fabulous, embarrasing pictures and then share them with the world! But every coin has two sides, and the remainder of these 'bloggers' are uneducated, materialistic, consumerist clods who obviously learned to type using their hairy, unevolved knuckles. Now it is my belief that anyone who started one of these a year or so ago was, on some TINY level, looking for a sense of notoriety. I feel pretty sure I was. I thought "Why, in a month, people across the GLOBE will be chatting up my cynical wit and wisdom over coffee!"
No.
This was incorrect.
I know now that this is written solely for the seven people in my life who choose to read it and if they feel like sharing it with someone outside of the Reader's Club, more power to them. But I am not a 'journaler'. I do not feel the need to discuss how my day was online. But what I will discuss is things I feel are significant to not only myself, but to our complex and decaying culture. In other words, I am now content in writing this for you, my family and friends. BUT HEED MY WARNING: This will not happen as often as you might like. And you will only encourage my IRE with persistent reminders that I have not "written in my blog".
That all being said, I had a decent day today. I had been sick yesterday and am now feeling much better.
JUST KIDDING! Did you think I was going to talk about my day? You wanted it didn't you?
Well seriously, I was vomiting everywhere.
Now to the tie-in with the title.
In one week from today, my favorite American icon will finally be returning to that greatest of pastimes, the American Cinema. It was 19 years ago that Superman last graced the silver screen. And nearly 30 since it has been truly entertaining. But I have the highest of hopes for this film and, because it is important to me, I am sharing my anticipatory joy.
Now, see...Isn't that culturally relevant?
Superman Always Returns. And so will I.
