Have you ever thought about becoming a Driver for handicapped People? The Dad of a Friend of mine does this, he drives a minivan and picks up handicapped People at home and drives them to work and back or to appointments with the Doc and Stuff.
You could drive around, get better paid and do something good 
Or become a Hitman. Its paid even better, at least in 2 Games, otherwise i think 47 works for free…

I think you need special certification to be qualified to do that line of work. And to be perfectly honest, I just don’t have the kind of patience or nerve to be able to work in that kind of field. I have my own issues, so much so that I am considering in the future to perhaps seek therapy. I guess I just think I don’t have that real capability to be able to help people with their own issues, when I know for a fact that I am unstable myself, albeit in a less serious way.
The job I am applying for is actually something my former assistant manager at my current job is doing at a different branch, and from what he tells me, I honestly think it would suit me, so I am currently betting on it for the time being. Then after that, if I don’t get it, well, I’ll be having to search elsewere. I just know my current job is just going to get worse and worse as we progress into Winter, and I know I’m going to hate it more and more.

Well, it doesn’t have the late 90s/early 2000s vibe anymore, maybe it has something to do with the absence of leather jacket and sunglasses. Plenty of scenes resemble the original movie, nonetheless. I may give it a try later this year.

Thank god, it doesn’t. We have to move away from Matrix, Blade, Underworld and such movies, their overall fashion is very much a product of it’s time, that style doesn’t really fit current pop culture.
I expected more action and something in the line of the last two films, however it’s quite a pleasant surprise. The overall tone is rather odd and not quite what I expected, I look forward to this film.

Yeah, speaking of tone, I find the trailer to be much brighter and more colorful than the original trilogy. It’s not quite what I expected from a sequel as well. I don’t know whether it’s because the movie being shot or set in San Fran, which adds some Californian shades in it, or they just ditched the green-ish urban camera filter from the old movies.
Well anyway, I am looking forward to it too. From the looks of it, it seems to have many scenes of the Matrix/urban world, instead of the humans fighting sentinels-controlled reality part of the world. This alone already makes me glad, and it will be even better to have some martial art fighting segments.

Well, I’ve updated my CV, and have submitted my application for the supermarket job I am interested in. See where that goes before I start looking elsewhere. The fact though that when I submitted it I actually felt good kindof says alot I think. Well, this should be interesting anyway. I’ve been really down lately but the feeling that I could be moving forward in my life is making me optimistic, especially if the new job doesn’t make me hate every second.

A lot of people up in arms over Morpheus not being in the trailer let alone probably not being in the movie.
I feel I have to point this out, but Matrix Revolution wasn’t the end of the series back when it came out and the story continued in the MMO which is seemingly canon judging from articles surrounding the movie and this frame in the trailer.
Explaination (Spoilers Kinda Sorta)
At the end of Revolution Neo gave himself to the Machines as a way to stop the war between humans and machines. This plot point was expanded upon within the MMO which the story was written by the Wachowski’s. One of the things that came out of this was Morpheus making a deal with the machines that they would eventually get Neo’s body back. This deal wasn’t honored and essentially Morpheus attacked the Machines again. Somewhere down the line Morpheus got assassinated by the machines.

Call me a cynic but if the first film came out today people would have fucking fits over Trinity and Morpheus.
Also if Neo can make walls bend and slow time I think Morpheus can make slight adjustments to his form to fool the machines.

These machines are what we call Studio Meddling. While the Matrix Games are not really remembered they did expand on the lore of the series. Laurence Fishburne said he wasn’t returning. It’s all in the air, but I’m on the side where the MMO is canon.

i think the original trilogy got less green and brighter as it went on, so it may be just following on from that.

The always yours King Bearmon finally got the first punch of Astra Zeneca. Would have been better way before all those days I was exposed 'cause work or because my neighbors got Covid. Alas, it’s finally half done. One more to go later on.

Got vaccined with a jab of Astra Zeneca today as well. It’s my first jab, and I saw many similar aged people at the hospital too.
Well, time to start a nice, slow, and relaxing weekend! Hopefully nothing bad will happen.

Don’t forget to bring a dog walking cane. It’s honestly much more useful to bring compared to the lockpick and much more convenient to bring one rather than getting it in the first place.

I have a question from you and @Chef-assassin, as you are both US citizens and old enough to remember the day.(anyone else can answer if possible)
Are you able to describe the feeling, the situation when that happened? 4 major airplanes hitting 3 important locations is no joke. What was happening when people heard the news? What changed after that?

I was 15. I was in study hall. No one had smart phones yet. We noticed the staff seemed shook and some of us were getting texts from friends and family saying big planes had been flown into the World Trade Center. The principle made the announcement that no one would be changing classes and that every one was now to stay in whatever classroom they currently were in and that it was study hall for everyone. A little later they made the announcement that school would be letting out early and we could leave soon. They also told us what had happened and asked us to get home safe.
I walked home and went directly to the tv and was glued to it for the next few hours. Lots of crying. Pure shock, sadness, and outrage would be best words to describe how I felt.
The majority of the males on my mothers side of the family are Marines, so I was likely gonna end up doing that anyway, but 9/11 cemented that decision for me.

I was 27 and working at the time. One of my co-workers came to me and explained that a plane had hit the tower. Then we all went to the tv to see. Then the second plane hit. It was a very weird time and you couldn’t help but feel so sad. I had such a sinking feeling in my stomach.
It hit very close to me as my Mother N law and Sister n law were working in NYC that day. They lived in Brooklyn. The scary thing was communication was cut off. No one could use their cell. I hadn’t heard from anyone and that is the worst. They were all ok.
Many of my co workers worked in the tower as I worked as a chef for Merrill Lynch but in NJ at that time. We had offices in the Towers so It was familiar to me and I had been there a few times.
Since they grounded all trains planes etc I recall my sister n law having to walk over the Brooklyn bridge to get from Manhattan to Brooklyn and then to her home.
As time went on I found that many people I knew or I worked with or that knew someone I knew had lost their life or was affected in some way. One of our chefs in the company and his manager were in the tower that day. She made it out and he did not. She recalls him saying I’m just going to shut off the stove and I’m right behind you. It was terrible to hear that he died that day just going to work like the thousands who passed we’re doing. Trying to make a living and just survive.
I am only an hour from NYC so many people in New Jersey commuted and still do. How things have changed for me and since then. I decided never to go back and get a job in NYC as an example as I had before. If anything were to happen again like that people don’t realize you can’t go anywhere, you are stuck. No trains, buses, boats. Doesn’t mean you need to live in fear but I chose to not continue to go through the rat race of commuting almost 2 hours into the city just to make a living. But hey I was young and raising my family so had to do what I had to do.
Still every year I get upset. You can’t help it. I get upset as I write this. I am so sorry for everyone that lost their life that day all because of hate for another.
Senseless violence which we still see today.
