Soul searching with the angriest man in Brooklyn

I'm sat on a 8 hour plane journey pondering what life currently holds. I'm going to St Lucia! Never have I felt that I needed a holiday as much as this. To sit and do nothing for a while and turn off.

I changed job a few months ago. I'm now a project manager. And I feel like I haven't stopped thinking. And I've gained 3 more grey hairs.... I went to Japan for work for 2 weeks, Germany more times than I can count right now and lost a friend, who was taken too early. 

Although this is a holiday...it's also to attend another photography workshop with Joe McNally. This time more advanced to learn about lighting and using it! Can't wait to learn more from who I think is the most awesome photographer around, but to see the beach. A proper beach with Caribbean sun and idealistic surroundings...Not Bournemouth, which is the last beach I went to! 

Anyway so I look through the films on the plane and sit reading each review before take off.... It passed the time! And I noticed Robin Williams name on a film I hadn't heard of. Then realised actually I had... It's the last film he made. The angriest man in Brooklyn, about an unhappy man who finds out he has 90 minutes to live. I haven't been able to watch any Robin Williams film recently because it makes me sad. I'm angry that such a respected man went through such a rough time. I can feel his pain. And I wish he had just stopped and realised what he was doing and what effect he would have on so many people, with the positive influence he spread which he couldn't find within himself. 

This film made me think.... Yes, even more than normal! But more about him than anything. He was pretty tough to be able to act that film, when inside he was torn apart. If only he could have seen the outcome. One of his lines from the film was "If I die this year, my headstone will say 19XX - 2014. The dash in the middle of that is the most important thing". So true Robin... 

It's a good film though, for people who think too much like I do. I also found out who Mila Kunis was. Intriguingly beautiful girl that!

So... I intend to get to St lucia in a few hours and sit on the beach and do absolutely nothing. I have 2.5 days to myself before the workshop starts so I think I need to do a bit of soul searching in that time! Step back and realise what's important and what isn't and prevent anymore grey hairs :)
