"I'm sorry I'm not sorry"
--James Bond, Casino Royale


M kind of sent me

I viewed Casino Royale this past week and it was pretty much awesome-core. Then I came across this train of thought and if you don't want vague spoilers don't read the next paragraph.

So Bond has a basic mission to stop terrorism really. And to do that he has several smaller type missions. Basically we've going after the following: some bomb maker dude, then a middle type man on some other continent, after which leads you to a terrorist banker who needs money, hence a poker game at the ritziest place ever and then you find yourself chasing after $150 million.

You can read now.

The connection is that as people we've got specific things and goals to do and go after. We've got the basic idea of what the end of the means is supposed to be but the job is never actually done. One thing leads to another. Clues are left behind. Targets change. Allies change. Allies may or may not exist even. Life is just something that happens whether you like it or not. And we have to deal with it. It's not the job that's important. It's something else... For everyone it's different. But something has to be done. Our job is never done. We've all got things to do. Make the best of it. You know how it goes. Time to start things from scratch now.

Hope no one kills your true love, and you don't have to go around getting all sorts of Venge.

Can I do some sort of venging without killing his true love? It's so mean to kill someone's true love and I'm not that evil yet.

Don't worry, Steph. It'll come.
