Metal Ring of Deception

why does it feel so great to find a great movie and show it to friends? maybe that's just me.

i've been thinking about running the los angeles marathon, and if i ever actually start seriously training i think i might start another blog about that experience. give me some feedback on whether that would be interesting or not, because i don't want to waste my time. well, i wouldn't be wasting my time, because i think everything i write is interesting, and if you don't, well, i don't know what to tell you. you've got a serious problem, that's all.

i went to warner company jewelers in fresno over thanksgiving break with my family. my mom was picking up some jewelry she was having cleaned and my dad needed a new strap for his watch. anyway, the sales guy was talking to us about watches and my mom noticed an unusual looking one and he took it out and explained the concept. basically, it was a ring of metal where the watch face would normally be. no hands, no numbers, just a ring of metal. he explained that it was a statement that time didn't control the wearer of the watch. but then, hidden on the other side of the watch, beneath the strap, was a tiny watch that did have the time. so i guess the statement is not true and the person who wears a watch like that does not deserve to own that statement, because they don't really believe in it. if you aren't controlled by time, don't wear a watch or wear one with only a metal ring. but don't wear one with a metal ring as a front for freedom while all along you are hiding your secret dependence on time.
