Of Planet of the Apes

I spent Thaipusam drinking home made soy milk and watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

This story is about Caesar, the chimpanzee with high IQ. He spent years living with the dreamy James Franco, and suddenly, he was removed from his comfort zone and was sent to a primate shelter. Caesar faced a new challenge; facing a new surrounding and a butt ugly alpha primate named Rocket. Rocket bullied Caesar, making Caesar intimidated by the other apes.

After weeks of unsuccessful attempts to free Caesar from the primate shelter, Caesar stopped trusting James Franco, and started to work on things that he could control.

Like, starting a revolution against humanity.

Wow! Halfway thru the movie, i though, this chimp fella just doesn't quit, does he? I've never seen such perseverance and determination. Caesar showed me much more sense than any men I've met in my entire life.

And in his perseverance and determination, he stumbled on a purpose, a different life path that leads to a bigger meaning than staying at home putting on jeans in James Franco's house.

This is satisfying really, because at the end of the movie, he held no contempt for James Franco. His head is in the right place. He's home.

I know this is fiction but how come I can relate to the movie?

Watching this movie got me ruminating on my path. I'm 80 days away from my graduation. I'm so much better now. I still think about him but nothing he does will break me down. I've never hated him for leaving. I still love him.

I can do away with this entire deadline bullshit. However, i don't know why the deadline is there in the first place, but i know i need it. You can't hurry progression of something amazing.

That's why I'm staying on the course.
