  Today has been food, Timothy Findley's Pilgrim , laundry, more food, book, laundry, Internet, cooking food/beginning of Life of David Gale, eating, back to movie and now blogging. It's been a very good day. I will probably wrap it up with an hour or two of writing, more Pilgrim , light workout, food (in the form of protein-packed oysters, YUM!
) then shower and bed. God, if only every day could be like this. There was an interesting arguement at the beginning of Life of David Gale which I found very profound. It went something like fantasies must not be achievable because fantasies facility a desire which drives us and makes us hungry for life. If we achieve our desires, we are unfulfilled once we've reached our goal because we no longer desire it. The only reason we desire something is because we do not or can not have it. Once we do, we must look for other desires. This explains why rich people want to get richer. This explains why so many artists who have struggled for so long with success and fame fall apart once they achieve it. They do not know how to continue. There is no goal, desire or fantasy any longer. Living without a fantasy, without something to desire, must be unbearable.
There is no direction to follow. Life would turn into a void in which nothing would matter. I guess the saying "reach for the sky" is a pretty good piece of advice. THe loftier the goals, the more rewarding life will be as you struggle along trying to reach it. I just thought of another which would apply: "Happiness is the journey not the destination. " By the way, faithful readers of this blog will notice the name has changed.
This blog is no longer known as Cody's Corner. I have found a much more enlightened and philisophical name. If a person is seeking their paradise, they are said to be kissing the sky because it means they have found their heaven. I also like the idea of always reaching up and out toward something bigger than myself. The sky is vast and constantly changing yet always the same.
