Run Lola Run

a 1998 film, its original (German) title being “Lola Rennt”, a classic in my opinion, watched it again recently, one of my favorite movies
a film about life, potential, will power, scenarios, & running, from one scene to the next, some animated scenes too, Franka Potente is Lola
I find it really clever & contemplative

“I don’t believe in promise, I don’t believe in chance, I don’t believe you can resist the things that make no sense” – Franka Potente, lyrics of the song “Believe”

R.I.P. “Left Eye” – passed away 5 years ago – a member of TLC, but held her own

“check it: another day, another dolla, is the reality of my mentality, otherwise don’t even botha, you see my father was a wise old man, always creatin’ a plan, for me to conquer this land, he said I am what I am, so be the best that I can, and if them others don’t like it, then why should I give a damn (huh), maybe so cuz’ when his life wasn’t right, my mother picked up the pieces, & continued on with the fight, so now it’s plain to me, it ain’t no game to me, see mom and dad corrected math, 1 and 1 equal 3, 4 and 5 I count my sister and brother, stay alive till we die, & don’t you ever be worried, cuz’ I’m down with a ride, through peaks and valleys to Cresent Hills, tumble down I’ll set a new ground for Jack & Jill, ever wonder what put the thunder deeply in my eyes, take a look & you’ll find a sunshine”

 - from TLC’s My Life one of the tracks on their album Fan Mail

Do I intend to use this blog to chronologically tell my life story? Hardly.

Do I intend to use this blog to mention various interests? Frequently.

Do I intend to often include several rhetorical questions in each post? Not really.

Have I heard the saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions? yeah…

Am I interested in your blog? I don’t know, let me know what the address is.
