Everybody agrees that when there’s some distant goal you’re trying to accomplish, sometimes life gets in the way. It’s just a fact of existence. I’ve wanted to be a professional author since high school, at least, and it hasn’t happened yet.
But sometimes, life gets in the way of the stuff you do to waste time, too. My friend Mike and I have a blog where we give capsule reviews to what we think are the twenty best movies of the year. Check it out! The last one I did was for 2012, because I’m so far behind on watching movies.
There’s a bunch of movies I really want to get around to seeing, but often, it’s hard to find the time to just sit down and do it. It doesn’t help that I know there are more productive things I could be doing with my time.
Still, I’d love to get around to watching Manchester By The Sea. I hear it’s kind of like the time I saw a double feature of Leaving Las Vegas and Dead Man Walking, which are about a man drinking himself to death and a man on death row, respectively. Sounds fun, right?
