AD Astra ...Brad you Beauty...but WTF

So I watched AD Astra and Brad looks amazing. Healthy, refreshed, sad eyed.

My 1:30am thoughts post the movie, a special evening and with my long overdue bedtime.

That being that, I couldn't help but feel that Brad was futuristically ( I make my own words), realistically and personally poetic throughout the movie plot. It simply rallied too many of his own publicly known knowns. Was it a message for his own sons, his own ex's...was space the spaces and voids he felt and filled and floated through? I don't know. But what I can say is..I was confused.  Some people walked out the cinema.. not that I'd ever do that. I mean I'm just not the type to walk out on a man easily - and not one like Brad! Without saying much, his "fictional father" adventured beyond social constructs of father son relations deemed to be normal.

Brad donned the look of someone a few divorces and relational hardships later...which even makeup couldn't hide. It's natural for a person who feels and with eyes being the gateway to the soul. 






But back to the movie itself.

The opening scenes had me excited because it covered all the stuff I loosely speak about. Mars, Multi-planetry, high speed mass transportation, mirrored universes.  "Loosely" I say because what do I know about space exploration next to Elon ( ha ha...I'm audacious this way!). The Mars tunnel scenes immediately triggered the Boring Company's imagery and I later sat up thinking and saying to my beautiful company -

"Boy, isn't Elon quite something!"

We agreed.


Anyway, here's to Brad's slighty, obviously worn in but none the less in comeback mode. Here's to Elon and his "all that revolutionary stuff!". And here's to my own great company this evening :)

The movie plot sucked however I suggest you see it in support of Brad and to come to your own conclusions. The effects were good. Brad was very easy on the eye...but again ...wtf!

The notion of a Poetic retort may make watching AD Astra slightly more acceptable.

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
