Day 29 - On His Blindness

On His Blindness
~~ John Milton

When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodg'd with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest he returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies: "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts: who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed
And post o'er land and ocean without rest:
They also serve who only stand and wait."

17/100 Things - Iron Man

Iron Man is simply a delight. I'm pretty sure that Robert Downey Jr. is the reason. I had dismissed this man in the past as a useless druggie and promptly never thought about him again until I rented the Iron Man DVD. God what a delightfully funny man he is! Tony Stark is part Bill Gates, part Richard Branson and a whole lot RDJ. He has everything but that's not quite enough for him as he ventures into the superhero realm. Such a tiny little man in a big ol' suit! I liked the second one as well and am looking forward to number 3 soon.

These are not serious dark superhero films. if you want that, watch Bale as Batman. These are fun like Thor, Captain America and the Avengers, all of which I eagerly await more of too. So when you have an afternoon off, rent both Iron Man movies and have some fun with Tony Stark and his high tech world of adventure!
