Thoughts

Wil and Katie came over the other night for "movie night" and we, after a simple process of elimination, decided upon Requiem For A Dream. Great movie, don't get me wrong. I have seen it multiple times, and though it will never be easy to accept the events of the movie as real, they don't bother me anymore. Or at least I thought not.

I slept through the night well enough, the only sign that something was a bit...off, was the song in my head as I awoke. If you remember, this is not the first time I have considered my own sanity based upon early morning song choice. This time was only slightly different. Instead of Mark Hamill singing Luke Be A Jedi Tonight, it was Baloo from Jungle Book doing his rendition of "The Bare Necessities".

Granted I do not know the words to this song beyond "It's the...bare...necessities...". How one could wake up with a song in their head though only knowing 4.5 words is beyond me.

The more I have thought about it though, those words alone relate rather well two fold to "Requiem". Either in the approach that Requiem shows the horrors of drug use and you should avoid them and stick to the Bare Necessities, or in that for junkies being able to "push off" is the Bare Necessity. Makes you think. Or well, makes me think.

Don't tell me you have never (over)analyzed anything!
