Some motivation!

I found this on another site and I thought I would share it here. By no means will I take credit for it.

The Climb

 

A small boy heard the mountain speak

"There are secrets on my highest peak;

but beware, my boy, the passing of time.

Wait not too long to start the climb."

 

So quickly come and go the years,

and a young man stands below, with fears.

"Come on, come on," the mountain cussed.

"Time presses on, on climb you must"

 

Now he's busied in middle-aged prime,

and maybe tomorrow he'll take the climb.

Now is too soon - it's raining today;

Gone, all gone, years are eaten away.

 

An old man looks up, still feeling the lure;

yet, he'll suffer the pain, not climb for the cure.

The hair is white, the step is slow;

and it's safer and warmer to stay here below.

 

So all too soon the secrets are buried,

along with him and regrets he carried.

And it's not for loss of secrets he'd cried,

But rather because he'd never tried.

Cruz? Brandon?

or is that

Brandon? Cruz?

 

Whichever you may be or he may be, great find there. I think you should run to your local blockbuster and rent "Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead" starring Gary Oldman and Tim Roth. Definitly fitting for you 2, as we never know who is who.

Mike,

 

It's only in very rare and obscure circles do you ever hear references to "R&G are Dead"!! In fact, I think your only the third person I know who's ever seen the thing!

It is a hard movie to locate, I caught it on Bravo in widescreen at 3am like 5-6 years ago I believe and had to have it. It has since gone out of print I believe so to preserve this fine Tom Stoppard movie I put it onto DVD and filed the VHS away in an airtight bag (thank you late night infomercials for my Foodsaver :( )....

 

 

It truly is a wonderful movie, and I know of atleast 4 other people that have seen the movie (2 by force, but they both loved it).
