This guy was the definition of NOT a morning person; he’s still half asleep, bleary eyed… basically a zombie with a bagel. He sits down across from me to eat his bagel and is just barely conscious. My back is to the outboard side of the ship, and the morning sun is blazing in one of the portholes putting a big bright-a** circle of light right on his barely conscious face. He’s squinting and chewing and basically just remembering how to be alive for today. It’s painful to watch.

But then zombie-OPS stops chewing, slowly picks up the phone, and dials the bridge. In his well-known I’m-still-totally-asleep voice, he says ‘heeeey. It’s OPS. Could you… shift our barpat… yeah, one six five. Thanks.’ And puts the phone down. And then he just sits there. Squinting. Waiting.

And then, ever so slowly, I realize that that big blazing spot of sun has begun to slide off the zombie’s face and onto the wall behind him. After a moment it clears his face and he blinks slowly a few times and the brilliant beauty of what I’ve just witnessed begins to overwhelm me. By ordering the bridge to adjust the ship’s back-and-forth patrol by about 15 degrees, he’s changed our course just enough to reposition the sun off of his face. He’s literally just redirected thousands of tons of steel and hundreds of people so that he could get the sun out of his eyes while he eats his bagel. I am in awe.

He slowly picks up his bagel and for a moment I’m terrified at the thought that his own genius may escape him, that he may never appreciate the epic brilliance of his laziness (since he’s not going to wake up for another hour). But between his next bites he pauses, looks at me, and gives me the faintest, sly grin, before returning to gnaw slowly on his zombie bagel.

I’ve either read that in a book or seen it on a movie or tv show.
I don’t remember at the moment but may later.
It’s a great scene!

I see nothing wrong with having someone so sacred and holy that they are God to you and only you.

My depression and anxiety has been getting worse and worse lately, I had thought my recent issue was simply seasonal depression. I'm one piece of bad news away from doing something drastic again. I need a big lifestyle change.

Been there, done that. Without getting too personal you really should get some help. It can be hard to find the right doctor and meds do help but getting on the right ones is an even longer journey. Just don't do anything drastic, been there and done that too. Good luck.

Sorry to hear, man. I agree with stvn1974. Taking into consideration what you have said before about your past, do get help. As the saying goes, you're not alone.

Looking for media shelves that can hold a collection of about 300 discs. What are some suggestions? Where did everyone purchase their shelves from?

Thanks.

I agree but therapy might not work for some things like trying to talk spirituality and the like.

I build mine.
Easier and cheaper, and can be however you want, not stuck to pre-fabricated pin holes/sizes/shelf spacing, which is never accurate.

I use Atlantic Maxsteel steel wire shelving. Bought them from Amazon. Have 8 of those suckers to hold my 3400+ collection and they're great. Very easy assembly (under 20 minutes tops)

I do that all the time. I could fill a whole album with songs that offend people and easily can be taken the wrong way. It pisses off snowflakey folks and I enjoy that. I have one called The Money's on the Dresser Chocolate in a nod to The Birdcage. Not many yunguns will get and will just be offended instead.

I'm wondering if a 49ers player just walked in to BedBath&Beyond ahead of me. He's a big guy wearing a 49er sweatshirt that I'm not sure is for sale to the public. Definitely looks like he could be a professional athlete but I'm not sure what any of the players look like.

I'm going to guess that, if it was a player, it was a player named Tavarius Moore. Should have had Scarriere with me. He would had known

Looking at my wishlist here in the database and click on Rocknrolla and see the other similar films, including Payback, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and The Bank Job and that makes me think that I'd like to watch The Bank Job again soon. I think I've seen Payback once but I'm not sure. I might have to add that one to the list too. As for Rocknrolla, I'm pretty sure that I own it on DVD.

there was a vision once I held dear to my heart concerning 3 women in the basement of my house that was like a ranch style. I mean to have pictures or murals on the wall and the three of them standing with wings the youngest in the middle, the one I love the most, candles in various holders upright but no chandeliers lit and in the middle on a pedestal or dais or something is a coffin where I go to die. So Queen, Angel and Princess where Princess has the most power and love and affection. All 3 are watching the coffin protecting it and so forth. I've wanted to do that for several years. don't know why I am thinking of that now but it was something I held very dear and close to my heart.
