    … je me suis apercu que de tout temps j’ai ete obsede par l’impossibilite de me rendre compte de certaines actions ou pensees soudaines de l’homme sans l’hypothese de l’intervention d’une force mechante exterieure de lui.

    I realized that I’ve always been obsessed with my inability to understand certain abrupt actions or thoughts of man without hypothesizing the intervention of some malicious force acting outside of him.

    Grizzly Man

    1016 days ago

    Grizzly Man.

    I caught wind of the film from a review on kuro5hin. Quite the review of the film, I read the first few paragraphs about a guy living 13 summers in Katmai National Park, in the middle of nowhere, for the most part all alone. (I applied for a job at Katmai maybe a month ago, and would really love to get it – but I’m grossly underqualified, and doubt it will happen.)

    He took rolls and rolls of photo and video footage of bears roaming, romping, playing, fighting, eating. Right in the park, in an environment where over the course of a summer a few planes would fly over, a few boats might come for the afternoon. The documentary deals more with his personal side then it does his bear footage, but I can only imagine what kind of bear footage he managed to get.

    It’s really amazing. Awesome. Reckless, maybe stupid, the guy might just have been a total wacko. But the film got the best out of me, I’d feel like laughing and crying at the same time, there would just be that energy surging through my chest.

    I can’t say I feel bad for the guy, he was living among fucking grizzly bears. But what he managed to do, the film he took, the fact that this guy could walk up to and pet wild grizzly bears right on the nose. He knew them by name. That’s impressive.

    Reduce the amount of sleep you get into six thirty minute naps, and your body will apparently compensate by quickly dropping in and out of REM sleep. And you will feel as rested as ever once you acclimate yourself, although you sleep only three hours per day.

    Being a bike messenger looks like a sweet job.

    And yes, if you have even the slightest bit of charm, you will have plenty of opportunity to pick up hot receptionists.

    Biking all day would rock. Exercise and little stress is always a good combination. The pay isn’t great, but who cares that much?
