my fortune: lovely relationships bring out the best in you. i have decided to write more. i can't say yet what it is you will read though, for i continually move forward with no focus. i just imagine a blog to be updated more frequently as to render it meaningful at all (otherwise it's purpose being none other than, to invite frustration on both ends). some days may be daily life recounts, other days may just be pictures; rambles and shambles of a life lived. suffice to say, that, henceforth, you may not know what to expect but expect something resembling semi-regular updates...
i drank an Aventinus after work today (mmman is was good!) last night i saw the Werner Herzog film, Grizzly Man. interesting indeed. a stark account of the madness that solitude and asceticism can bring on, after 13 summers spent with grizzly bears. i recommend it. i must say that the reality of some of it at times is questionable, as it almost seems fake/unbelievable. and how, does one sustain battery life for so long in the barren wilderness all alone for months? details aside, i'm fairly surprised that something of this kind hasn't surfaced before now; but i guess the subject (Timothy Treadwell) ultimately getting eaten by the bears, that he so foolishly trusted, has something to do with an immediate interest in the film (his wacko demeanor notwithstanding).

I questioned the authenticity of it as well... everyone interviewed in it, from his former girlfriend to the guy in the morgue, seemed like an actor! But I did the research, and if it is fake, they did a lot of work to make it happen.
Definitely weird...

Man, I never questioned the reality of it. There was definitely some parts that I thought could/should have been cut but overall I thik it was a film that featured a lot of charactors. The coroner espically was a bit of a wacko. I guess that's what happens to you up in Alaska.
