So... Fresh out'a jail and hearin' hoochies screamin'.
I've been thinking about Shakesphere alot. The classics, Hamlet; Romeo and Juliet; It's soemthing i know really well; probably the best of everything i've read, and only simply due to the fact that i've read them so many times.
In the cusp of things, they really are the same story just rewritten over and over again; but in reality, something entirely different in each and every writing. I don't mean to repeat the same things over again; but something's really been puzzling me. I keep wondering why Romeo stayed in town, knowing that he would have been killed either way; leaving or otherwise. Couldn't he have just left? All negative comments excluded, I think i've reached a reasonable conclusion;
He didn't want to leave, he was staying to save face. Situational prelevency aside, he seemed to want to keep his family, not only in check; what i've concluded to be the alterior reasoning; to rather, better the town by staying and proving that the nominal feuding was pointless. Rather, though, than do so in a political connotature, he prefered to do so in a more nominal meaningful way; and, in essense, be martyred by not only his family and country, but the fledgling French economy. He allowed all subdued and subnominate factors to simply... Take effect. He, rather than decided to be swept away with the current of change, turned against the change it-so well; and killed himself with the town doing the murdering.
In the end; the only one you feel sorry for is Juliet.
All good faith aside, she was the single person responsible for her own actions to an adult extent. The single, nominal party of the entire story was Juliet; and they not only killed her, but without remorse and with clear enthusiasm.
Though, on closer thought; being that she was the most beautiful woman in France in that day; it's kind-of no wonder why it happened as it were.

So anyway, I went and saw Twilight (finally). I'd previously attempted to read New Moon, the third book in the series, but eh.
Honestly, i'd thought the movie was great. Not saying the book was bad at all; just the third in the series... Was so busy thinking, though; i couldn't keep up at all. Not just Romeo and Juliet either, alot more. Like why the hell i'm still in Texas afterall...
I kept thinking about my reasoning behind giving up converting to Islam, like my mother (and father) want and just decided to be pagan in the end. I suppose that it will sort itself out and I did make the right decision in the end. I guess i'm just questioning it.
Then again... Maybe i'm wrong.
Anyway.
