Horns
I finished reading Horns by Joe Hill just this afternoon. It’s a horror fantasy novel about Ig Perrish, a man mourning his murdered girlfriend. He wakes up one morning to discover he’s grown a pair of demonic horns and developed strange powers.
It’s a very good read. Richly colourful, full of relationship, intrigue and small town America. Despite its fantastical premise it felt deeply real throughout. Apart, that is, for some aspects of the ending. I felt the story would’ve been stronger without the concluding explanations. I didn’t need to know why Ig acquired his powers. Sometimes strange things just happen.

DETACHMENT is not INDIFFERENCE
Attachment (to ideas, people, situations, etc.) doesn´t mean “caring”, it means RESISTING what is wishing everything was the way YOU WANTED it to be. And when you resist what is you are struggling against the entire universe. And that my friend, is quite a struggle.
Instead why don´t you try something different, just once. ´Cause as good ol´ Einstein said:
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Live your life for one day from the detachment perspective; and that doesn´t mean you´re not gonna care or you won´t get mad if an assface pickpockets you on the street or whatever.
It means that you have to do the work that needs to be done in order to accomplish your goals without being attached to the results. Trust the universe. Maybe you won´t get the job you really wanted. Instead of resisting that fact…

Lightning Review: Nightcrawler
Synopsis
Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) gets himself into the world of street crime journalism. He considers himself a hard-working businessman and will do anything to get the story, and a paycheck.
Review
Before I saw Nightcrawler, I had only seen the trailer a short time beforehand. At first I had just wrote it off but I was persuaded into going to see it (it didn’t take much convincing to get me to the theater). Most of the reviews have been very positive. I don’t want to be “that guy,” but I didn’t particularly care for this movie. I’ll get the good out of the way first. Mad props to Jake Gyllenhaal because his performance was phenomenal. He completely got into the mindset of the deranged Lou Bloom. His delivery, his mannerisms, everything he did on screen was electric. I also liked how the cast was very small, allowing it…
