Near death experience
The blue Light beckons
Its seductive glow attracts
The darkness around him
Embraces, yet detracts
As he gives in to The Light
His days come to him in a flash
Work, bills, clients, all blur
Into a terrifying mental crash
He yearns for the peaceful bliss
Of ignorance, of enlightenment
The feeling of being one with The Light
The promise of detachment
A brief notion of denouncement
Of guilt, anxiety and perhaps regret
He quickly dims these intruders
And prepares to forever forget
Alas, forever is not to be
At least not yet, for him
Three hours pass, the film is over
His thoughts remain, dark and grim...
Alas, indeed...Like Asimov said, a writer is often a prisoner of his/her neuroses. There are some movies, books and music that draw you in so completely, it's like having a near death experience or an X-file-ish out-of-body experience. I'm afraid half my days are spent this way, unaccounted for and unacknowledged. Until now :)

Excellent, excellent work. This time, you had me sucked into a near death experience reading your blog :-)
The O.Henry bug catches on! Good stuff!
hey rt,
unrelated... but did you get the round "Yin Yang" b/w table from Ikea ? ;)
No I didn't Zeppelin :)
Have you read the book, btw? It's crazier than the movie in some ways!
rt,
nope havent read it.. will check it out sometime.. after all have to honour the club right ? ;)
another interesting thing i found about the movie was.. tyler comes and goes in a couple of scenes which cannot be comprehended if we watch the movie at a regular speed..you have to pause-play the movie to find that out.. :)... [oh no!! i am still sane.. in case you are wondering..;)]
in essence, just like tyler splices "special" scenes into movies, he comes and goes a couple times right beside the lead character.. :)
