It looks like Tripod has reclaimed the blogs. Mine was wiped out for a while, along with everyone else's for a while.

Last night, we went to see "Matrix Revolutions". I loved the first Matrix. I saw a lot of cool parallels in that movie. The second movie was a lot of eye candy as far as SFX and action. The third was a downer in that area, I think. The plot was a little bit of a let down, too.

I was thinking the other day about how "The Matrix" could have been better in its plot. First, I think that if Neo was someone like Steven Hawking rather than Keanu Reeves, it would have been more appealing to me. BUT, it would not have been to others and would have been a failure in that regard. The irony of an intelligent man who only has his mind becoming free of physical limitations inside the matrix would have been awesome. Either that, or he loves it so much, he turns evil.

Another thing would have been that since six others had come before Neo, the machines built the matrix inside another matrix. Thus, the statement by "The Architect" about having destroyed Zion six times already would have been true AND they would have still had people enslaved in pods. The truth could have really been that everyone was actually still in their pods, just inside one matrix inside another, and they only thought they were free from the system to begin with. Everyone in Zion was actually still in their pods.

Anyway, Teresa and I will probably be heading out to a flea market or something today. We discussed going to the Outer Banks this weekend, but decided it was best no to. Our anniversary is coming up on Tuesday. Every year, we get away to the Outer Banks for a long weekend. This year, the timing is off and we have other obligations to take care of. Since I have the weekend off, we will just go out for a while to a flea market we have never been to and have breakfast together or something. We also need to go to Sam's Club and pick up some supplies, which is along the way.
