No imagination or inspiration, no purpose. Some people need to shop, get a hobby, find religious or spiritual guidance, have sex, or some other outlet for them to feel refreshed, renewed, alive. I need an artistic expression. And I&#8217;ve been hard up getting what I need. But today I had that itch filled with the movie, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theupintheairmovie.com\/\">Up in the Air.<\/a><\/div>\n<p>For me, certain movies seem to be made just for me, and where I am in life. Rare, but when it does happen, they are powerful artistic works that speak to myself in a deep and powerful way. Past instances would be films such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.royaltenenbaums.com\/\">The Royal Tenenbaums<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.munichmovie.com\/splash.html\">Munich<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therewillbeblood.com\/\">There Will Be Blood<\/a>. I&#8217;m not a film critic, so I won&#8217;t review the movie. If you are interested, check it out for yourself. I loved it. A good way to start 2010, I suppose. With overcast weather here in the SLC, the rest of the first day of the year was spent processing the movie I saw, and what it meant to me. Later, I decided to watch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filminfocus.com\/focusfeatures\/film\/9\/\">9<\/a>, a fascinating little computer animated, dark tale about survival after the end of the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/c25da-9.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/c25da-9.jpg?resize=640%2C414&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"414\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a> After a day of enjoying these, I thought I would create my own little form of art, thru combining music (this time by Great Lake Swimmers) and photography ( as I like to do)&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been mentally depleted lately.
