I have been away. I’m not sure what I’ve been staying away from exactly, but all is good. And God is good. Funnilyenough, I’ve been having this huge nagging feeling inside – and I can’t place a finger to it. OHdear.
Today, I read a brilliant article on Robert Downey Jr (RDJ).
“About halfway into a fifteen-minute sparring session with RDJ, I (the reporter) add some punches to my one-two combination. The problem with trying to punch someone in the face who’s been studying kung fu for five years – someone who has a lot of free time and energy, and has a lot of frustration built up, someone who for a long time lived in a vulnerable way and destroyed himself and was powerless to control the world and was sent away to sad, scary prisons to get beat up by his jailmates, someone who when he finally got out couldn’t keep himself out of court or rehab or jail again, who lost his first marriage, lost custody of his kid for a time, lost his career…The problem here is when he got healthy, what did he want?
He wanted control, and of course he wanted to find a way to protect himself.”
It was a very sad and wonderful piece. I wanted to cry!
Sigh. I think I have a soft spot for RDJ.
And Ironman is reallytruly not helping.
