The Wisdom of Cusack...
You ever watch a movie you've seen a thousand times and caught something you've never noticed before? Or listened to your favorite song and heard a line that just stopped you cold in your tracks? That totally just happened to me while watching, "High Fidelity." It's far and away my favorite movie of all time and I've watched it countless times, but I just heard a soliloquy that I never payed attention to and I was kinda taken aback. Maybe some of you won't get it, but those of you who do will understand. Rob (John Cusack) has an epiphany while sitting in the rain (Bob Dylan's "Most of the Time" playing in the background):
"I can see now I never really committed to Laura. I always had one foot out the door, and that prevented me from doing a lot of things. Like thinking about my future. And I guess it made more sense to commit to nothing. Keep my options open. And that's suicide...by tiny, tiny increments."
Once again, John Cusack's wisdom lights the way.
Much Love,
Bo

what a great damn movie.
I was just down having lunch and doing a little vintage shopping where that movie was filmed. His store was on Honore in wicker park. Everytime I walk by that corner, I think of that film and smile. Damn, Cusack.
