SILENCE IS THE MOST POWERFUL SCREAM

"Free Your Mind.": A Review.

The Matrix is a 1999 science fiction movie, not just an ordinary sci-fi film because its conception is really far-fetched. For a 1999 film, The Matrix is in advance in terms of its special effects and graphic design. It’s as if I was watching a 2020 film. The storyline was amazing and every scene was breath-taking. It wasn’t my first time watching the film but I presume that the first time I watched this movie was when I was 8 or 10 years old and of course I can’t appreciate the exquisiteness of the film yet.

I loved The Matrix as I watched it the second time around, and only a few minor contraptions linked with the climax caused the film to have a four-star rating for me. (Maybe I am not really a fan of sci-fi action films, that's the thing, I guess.) The movie is dynamic, atmospheric, visually spectacular, and mind-boggling. It figures with the margins between reality and fantasy in an exceptional and unique ways. The Matrix is a rough jaunt, a hackers' contemporary day “Alice In Wonderland” in which it attempts to illuminate the world in the future as a pixel based illusion. Man became obsessed with technology and soon that same technology, "AI" or Artificial Intelligence took over.

Thomas Anderson portrayed by Keanu Reeves is a “two-faced” man. To most people he's a hard-working computer programmer for a major software corporation. But when he is alone, he's a hacker named Neo who is “virtually committing crime.” Neo is discontented with his life. He believes that there is always something missing, something going on that no one is aware of and, while he's investigating for a meaning to it, he was contacted by a mysterious computer presence known as Morpheus. Morpheus believes in a certain prophecy that states there is one man who will have the strength to bring about the end of the reign of machines and give back life to mankind, this man he believes is Neo. And as Neo’s searching for the answers to his questions there is Morpheus who will let him know the answer by himself.

Neo, at first, is very hesitant of what he’s doing. He’s doubtful of the results his actions may take but he gave his trust to the group he has and to Morpheus who became his mentor.

As I watch the movie, I can’t help but wheeze and wander about how these people behind the film think of this kind of concept. A man is virtually walking to the “real world” which they believe is not. They can pass through phone lines, they can move fast, they already know what will happen next, they can dodge bullets and all of those things that only superhuman can do. I also find myself imagining that I was part of the movie, that I was part of Morpheus’s group. It also made me think what really is “real” and what really is “dreaming”.

 End of the film, Neo get back in the Matrix, making a telephone call that he will show the people who are captives of the Matrix that "anything is possible." He hang down the phone and then disappeared. 

Hyperbole and a Half

 I usually find myself staring at an empty Word Document, wondering how to start my blog posts (just like what I’m doing right now. My mind is black and blank). I was still thinking of a theme or a topic that I can thrash out in this first ever post in my newest blog while I’m writing these set of words you are actually reading at the moment.

  Then suddenly, I opt to check my Tumblr account and guess what I got! I found something to rant about. Isn't it great?  So there! Let’s just move on to the rant portion of this blog because I know that’s all you folks mind about.


 I am using Tumblr for years already. I find it very interesting that I left Blogger.com for it to the extent that I forgotten my Blogger username and password. That is how addicted I am to Tumblr that time. Well actually there come a time that I sleep/nap in just an hour or two for a period of interval then I'll go back again to my Tumblr session. I make my own blog, repost blog, search for an interesting blog, stalk a blog, answer a quiz blog, and a lot more “addictive” to do in a blog site. I already had a lot of followers and I follow hundreds of blogs.

Are you guys seeking for the angry outburst already? Here it goes. 

I think more or less everyone knows, from your many years of existence here on planet Earth, that the brain is the most powerful organ in your body. It is the one responsible for everything inside your body including of course your thoughts, may it be good or the darkest thing you can have in mind. So you can't blame me on this raging. It's my brain's fault not mine. 

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of pictures of girls in Tumblr and usually they are blonde in different pose and pretense (or were those parodies or a mockery. Whatever). so I’m going to categorize them according to the least exasperating to the most exasperating picture you’ll ever see.

•    I-WHIP-MY-HAIR-BACK-AND-FORTH Pictures

These are pictures of blonde chicks facing only their back in front of the camera, dramatically “whipping” their hair as if they are in a shampoo commercial or as if they are part of Willow Smith’s music video of her song ‘Whip My Hair’ or they just want to break their necks. Sometimes they do it alone, in pair or in group. What do you guys want me to feel huh? Are insulting the bald and those people with short hair? I know you boast your hair ‘cause it’s long and blonde but I just can’t get a hold of your point! Why would you take a picture of yourself showing only your hair? Am I going to be engaged with your hair and say "I do" with it? Seriously?

• I'M-WITH-MY-GIRLS-IN-THE-BAR-AND-WE'RE-SO-FUCKED-UP Photos

  Okay, I know the title says it all but let me say other stuff about this kind of photos. For me, there is nothing wrong about clubbing and hanging-out with friends in the bar and staying up all night dancing and drinking (or if you smoke, go on, smoke weed). What bothers me whenever I see pictures of blonde chicks (YES THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO USUALLY POST SUCH PHOTOS on TUMBLR) in the club, the pictures doesn’t tells you that they are just having fun. Those pictures state that “These girls are drunk so they are now literally ROTFL (Rolling On The Floor Laughing), they are sweating, they spill vodka all over their clothes, they already smell stinky, they are wasted and they are kissing a stranger then they are going to have sex after the party.” Then those pictures are captioned “Live your Life.” or “Young, Wild and Free.” Do you actually think you are living your life? You are just making yourself disgusting in front of a public place and an online site and you are actually killing yourself slowly by excessive drinking! Why? Girls, you are sooo beautiful. You don’t have to live your life that way.

•  I'M-A-PORNSTAR Photos

I JUST CAN’T GET IT. I just can’t get it! Why do these bitches or should I say, sluts have to have their pictures be uploaded online wearing clothes that made them look like prostitutes? And WHY do they have to take pictures focusing only their tits or their ass in the lens of the camera? Seriously, why do you have to do that? And there are those chic who strut a pose in front of camera wearing ONLY a mini-shorts/mini-skirt without anything as a top. Are you insane? Does that make you guys beautiful? Would somebody say “Oh my God look at those tits (ass) they’re so big (fluffy) she can be a superstar (supermodel).” or “Nice tits (ass). She can be the next Ms. USA!” What the heck do you want to do with yourself? Actually, you are making Tumblr.com a PORN SITE! Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? 

I know I am being judgmental here. I know that you guys are thinking that I'm just insecure with what those blondies got. But hell, no. I pity them. And I want them to know that what they do is really irritating and degrading. It affects me because I'm a woman and I have a dignity to protect. We, women, has a dignity to protect. 

I hope this blog post moved you and entertain you. I AM NOT INSULTING. I just want to position my opinion. Thanks for reading this post. Godbless y'all! :)
