Journal 8/29 -- Sunrise I wake up a little earlier than usual. Typically, I'll check my phone for any messages. But today I cannot do that. So instead I just lay there thinking about what I am going to do next. I meditate as I feel some intrusive thoughts entering. I then think what I will eat for breakfast. After a while I conclude that this 5 day vacation from social media will be a challenge. It won't be too threatening though because I was never that active on social media to begin with. Sometimes when I am bored I will do what is called free writing exercises. So journaling about life and it's components is something that I am used to. After I sit here writing all of this down I know I will be tempted to check Facebook one time. When facing urges to do things I typically say a private saying to myself to overcome the urge. Grade: A 8/30 -- sunset Today I will be journaling about the sunset. I have so far been good about not checking the social media. I have ha...

What are your Top 5 Favorite Movies? Please post in the comment section below. Mine are: 5. Taxi Driver (1976) Director: Martin Scorsese Stars: Robert De Niro, Cybill Shepard, Harvey Keitel, and Jodie Foster Why it's a favorite: Taxi Driver forged the best director-actor duo ever with Scorsese and De Niro.

First Man Review

Neil Armstrong finally gets a biopic in Damien Chazelle's epic "First Man." Chazelle does justice with a practical, honorable, and accurate account of the Apollo 11 space mission to the Moon. However, the movie did not entertain with its thin characterizations, emotional detachment, suspenseless climax, and very boring family narrative. "First Man" features some thrilling space scenes which utilizes film stock and IMAX 70mm. If Chazelle decided to use digital and CGI all the special effects, then he would have been left with a POS movie. The space scenes employ shaky cam, and pitch perfect sound design. During the launches, it sounded like the space craft would break apart, adding to the intensity of the scene. The score by "La La Land" composer Justin Hurwitz was jazzy, musical-like and at times searingly epic. I couldn't help but compare the score to another epic space movie "Interstellar." Justin Hurwitz's music was good but no whe...
