Great End to a Weekend

Well in a few more hours I will be asleep and the christmas weekend will all be a wrap. For the most part, things went well this weekend. I got to see jenna and Fysh, I got to see Angie, and I got to see my family. I managed to eat my weight in turkey and stuffing. And I managed to get some pretty cool gifts. I got a great pair of Cuff links and matching buttons. I got a bunch of clothes. I got a couple of gift certificates. And I got some cash. I got. I got. I got.

Today was a pretty good day as well. Went to Chinook to do some shopping, and let me tell you, there are plenty of things to look at on Boxing day in Chinook mall. All of which however, are illegal in one way or another lol. After some shopping at Chapters, I went to the Cinema, and caught Steven Speilbergs new movie Munich.

Now I am not a Movie Reviewer, but this movie was pretty good. Although its story centered around the Israel kidnappings at the Munich Olympics, and the tit for tat politics that followed. There was a resonance, to our current worldwide drama. It made me think, just how long this has been going on? It seems that with our short attentions spans, we think that this fight, this conflict, is something that comes and goes. But I am beginning to realize that this fight between different ideologies has probably been going on for some time. One might say forever. Its drama in the world, also seems to resemble my own internal struggle for Purpose and Identity. The Israel, the nomadic longing for home, and the desire to do anything, at any cost to get it. And Palestini, the internal belief that we somehow had it, but someone has taken it from us. Each of us, set on one side of the trenches or the other.

But Speilberg was able in the end, to allued to some crossroad in the human narrative. Some point in our own inner struggle, where we realize that the only sane thing to do, is walk away. And, as a christian might say, "Pick up our cross."
