If you have any inclination at all to see the new Trek movie, you won't be disappointed.
I know it's not on everyones radar or their cup up tea. However, any advanced culture has their myths and legends. They are needed for entertainment purposes and are a way to convey lessons and ideas.
From Tolkein, to James Bond, to Harry Potter.... we have a number of modern myths to choose from. The best ones can change and grow from generation to generation and remain relevent.
After 42 years, Trek has again been re-invented. The myth has been stripped down to it's basic foundation but the future has been given a fresh blank page to build on.
In youth we can't see what we will end up carrying into the future. I can look around and see what is still here. Everytime I go up north I stop at particilar cheese shop. I've been stopping there since I was 5 years old. Every time I walk into that store the pages of my personal history book are flipped through. In my mind I can see where the comic book rack used to be but the cheese table is in the same, familiar place.
I have some tools that were my fathers that I remember handling as a child. I have my old books. There are things like Trek. And among the most important items that have stayed with me, my first guitar. My old Ovation.
Seems like tonight is a night for a little introspection. |

| The new Star Trek flick is available free online. I just watched a few minutes of it at the beginning - image quality wasn't too bad at all but I kinda lost interest in it pretty quick.
Needs more Jolene Blalock..lol |

| My friend and her husband went to see Star Trek and they said it was a good movie. I'm not really into Sci-Fi or Star Trek for that matter, so I'll probably pass.
Two weeks ago I did see the "Logan's Run" movie, which I thought was pretty good. I read that they are coming out with a re-make of the movie in 2010.

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Having not owned a TV for all these years (by choice), I must admit I was thrilled when Youtube started showing old TV shows. I have been watching the original Star Trek shows during slow moments here at the shop. Our movie theater here in Hot Springs, which is a 100 year old building, has just been remodeled. I will be going to see the movie as soon as they get it here. |
