HC I had to admit something to myself this weekend?
HC I had a certain stereotype in my mind?
HC it was about Trekkies?
HC I have always felt a certain way about them?
HC this weekend I didn't really know what to do with those feelings?
HC I was sick from Wednesday until around Saturday?
HC I spent Thursday and Friday watching the Matrix Trilogy?
HC every time I watch it I get more and more into it?
HC I found myself on the internet searching for the meanings of the names used in the movies?
HC then I was cross referencing names?
HC the next thing I knew, I was taking notes?
HC Saturday morning I decided to get out of the house?
HC I went to Barnes & Noble?
HC I decided to treat myself to a Carmel Machiatto (w/ skim) and a bagel with cream cheese?
HC I sat in there and ate and sipped and read?
HC I LOVE doing that?
HC you don't realize how much you've missed something until you do it?
HC anyway?
HC I WENT to the bookstore to look at BIBLES?
HC I ended up reading this philosophy book on the Matrix?
HC what I really wanted was a book on the hidden symbolism in the movies?
HC the philosophy book was written before Reloaded and Revolutions even came out?
HC still, it's a good start?
HC I of course bought the book?
HC I wasn't supposed to be buying ANYTHING?
HC that's always how it happens at the book/music store?
HC back to my point?
HC the point is, I'm going to buy more books about the Matrix?
HC I looked them up online?
HC it's only a matter of time?
HC I'm also going to buy the video game for my PC?
HC the fact of the matter is, it's sick, my obsession with this movie?
HC if they had a convention with speakers, I would go?
HC I would NOT dress up or anything like that?
HC but I would go to pontificate, if you will, on various Matrix subject matter?
HC looking at the movie from a basic Hebrew/Christian viewpoint, I totally missed the Buddhist references?
HC I have turned into that which I mocked?
HC I am now some sci-fi nerd?
HC I don't even like sci-fi?
HC I guess I should say I
didn't even like sci-fi?
HC I am a little conflicted about this?
HC yeah, I love the movie, no doubt?
HC yeah, I'ma keep buying books and who knows what else?
HC I can admit all that?
HC what I am having an issue with is that I am a Matrix Trekkie?
HC I wonder what it's really called?
HC that will be a part of my research tonight?
HC another thing that I'm feeling conflicted about...?
HC I talk about TV and it being the 'idiot box?'
HC I'm an internet potato?
HC I can say all day long that it's not different from sitting in the library (which is what the internet is to me, my own personal virtual library)?
HC but the fact of the matter is, I'm glued to it like people are glued to the TV?
HC in the end, is the result the same?
HC will I end up in the same vegetized (lol) state as couch potatoes?
HC I am probably over thinking this?
HC as per usual?
