Deathproof

So I went to see Tarantino's Deathproof last night.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1028528/

B-movie like film, summer cinema (open air), beer and hotdog. Very entertaining. Had a good time.
Alone :) Maybe this is why I had a good time. I wasn't stressed about having to talk to the person next to me so that we avoid uncomfortable silence periods, thinking of what he/she will thinks of the movie that I suggested, of the place etc.

Being with yourself can be fun. I just wish I didn't have the "need" to be with other people as well (certain ppl actually) and feel shit when this is not possible. I have to train myself on that. Self contentment should be the goal. And all wants should be based on the things that we can control, meaning things that are within us. Otherwise disappointment is everywhere.
This is Epictitus thoughts not mine. Very shoothing reading for people like myself who are disappointed in life.
Highly recommended but very hard to get used to thinking like that. Yes the prize is peace of mind (I guess this is the ultimate prize for someone's pathetic and pointless years of living) but the road goes through losing everything and not care about it in the process. Someone has to be very brave to do that. Not the case for me yet. I plan to go to the seaside or a couple of days. I'll read it again there.
