Scripts of Note...

I have no idea who wrote the scripts for these movies but they most certainly did good jobs of them. Here are two conversations that figuratively made the movies what they are.

Shrek the 3rd

Prince Charming: You! You can't lie! So tell me puppet... where... is... Shrek?

Pinocchio: Uh. Hmm, well, uh, I don't know where he's not

Prince Charming: You're telling me you don't know where Shrek is?

Pinocchio: It wouldn't be inaccurate to assume that I couldn't exactly not say that it is or isn't almost partially incorrect.

Prince Charming: So you do know where he is!

Pinocchio: On the contrary. I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably

Prince Charming: Stop it!

Pinocchio: ...do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be, if that indeed wasn't where he isn't. Even if he wasn't at where I knew he was

[Pigs and Gingerbread Man begin singing]

Pinocchio: That'd mean I'd really have to know where he wasn't.

Megamind

[Metro Man crashes into the observatory, but finds no-one present]

Megamind: [from projector] Over here, old friend! In case you've noticed, you've fallen right into my trap!

Metro Man: You can't trap justice! It's an idea, a belief!

Megamind: Even the most heartfelt belief can get corroded with crime!

Metro Man: Justice is a non-corrosive metal!

Megamind: But metals can be melted, by the heat of revanche!

Metro Man: It's REVENGE, and it's best served cold!

Megamind: But it can be easily reheated, in the microwave of evil!

Metro Man: Well, I think your warranty's about to expire!

Megamind: Maybe I got an extended warranty!

Metro Man: Warranties are invalid, if used beyond their intended purpose!

Roxanne Ritchi: [exasperated] Girls, girls, you're both pretty! Can I go home now?!

Places I never thought I'd get nostalgic over...

School of Business... Come to think of it, there were a mite too many plants there. Someone clearly got carried away with the whole going-green campaign. I'm pretty sure this punchline would have been more effective if the photo was in colour but, you know, minor details...

Ah, the library... Good times! I know, it's an unlikely location for the aforementioned times but we all know what they say about the posse you roll with... Yeah, I'll continue on the assumption that you actually know what they say. If you (for whatever reason) used Google Maps about two years ago, say, on a random day in May (or was it November?) & searched for the USIU lib then you probably saw someone ever so mildly resembling me on the rooftop. & by ever so mildly I mean hardly at best.  'High rollers' we were...Yeah...

It all begins now...

At this very juncture, as you read this word, we embark on a journey of outstanding significance; the rest of our lives... Also, the advent of this mostly random blog.

Time. The past (most of it anyway) is held only in memories. Some fleeting, others deeply etched but still mere memories. Granted, monumental events make history but it makes sense to avoid dwelling on them in order to focus on making newer history. #Winning as it were. The future, technically, will never reach… coz let’s face it, as long as a certain point in time qualifies to be referred to as the future, it’s always going to be a planck time (smallest unit of time ie.) away. Always. No exceptions. None whatsoever. I cannot belabour this point enough. Ok, perhaps I just did & to be honest, it’s kind of fun. Almost as fun as reflecting on & subsequently referencing what I’ve just written [You really need to try this/do it more often if it’s already a cheap thrill you frequently indulge in]. Why do I do it? I guess I’m extremely self-aware but I digress & I'm certainly not one to digress unnecessarily...

Considering all these simple facts, one question looms - what am I saying? & just as that one’s done looming, another dramatically emerges from the chasm of obscurity - What do you think I’m saying? In essence, seize the day/moment. Carpe diem as they like to say. You don't get many chances to do it so why not start now? In the paraphrased words of Sandra & Dirk from Sheep in the Big City (episode 1, season 1), we all have but "one...life...to live."
