Just saw the documentary Man on Wire in a quaint part of town that I have surprisingly never been to. It was a stirring portrait of a man (a wire walker) who defied odds, authority, laws, followed his dream and walked on a tight rope, figuratively and literally in life, across the Twin Towers in 1974. I read this Slate.com article earlier this week about this movie and knew immediately that I had to see it. Something about people who just go against the grain, defy authority and set themselves out to scratch their name in history books that just resounds with me, even though I don't have half the cajones that they have. I just enjoy basking in their triumph and I keep thinking, God made us all different and for a purpose, and for you this was it.
After that I had dinner at this pleasant Thai fusion restaurant called Rain with a much older pair of couples sitting beside my table. It was like one of those rare find restaurants that you go in not expecting much but it just somehow ends up blowing you away. I didn't know spots like that existed. It was a good evening. In an effort to wrap it up, that is all I'll say for now. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
