Ripples

So I went out and saw Hot Tub Time Machine with some friends tonight, and I must say, that film was quite incredible. I'm onbviously not getting paid to say this, I just thought it was really good. Basically, these guys are in their 40s, and life isn't going all that well for them. They decide to head out to a ski resort they went to back in the 80s, only to find that it's all run down. However, everything changes when they get in a hot tub time machine that sends them back to the 80s. Point is, crazy stuff happens, but it's a good kind of craziness. One recurring theme in the film is effect of our choices.

I know that the movie isn't supposed to be all sci-fi and stay true to every little aspect of temporal physics, and I'm totally fine with that. The movie really got me thinking about my own choices in life though. You know, we can only live life once (under regular circumstances). Doesn't that mean that everything we do is just that much more important? I also watched an episode of the Sarah Silverman Program, which is a pretty ridiculous show in itself, but still made a good point. It was about how happiness can be found everywhere, but it's often because there's nothing else to be happy for. Maybe instead of making the best of a bad situation, look for a better situation.
