I went to watch Captain America: Civil War, technically yesterday, May 07, 2016.
It is a very well made film with a complex and difficult plot line, in which the Avengers, now no longer working under S.H.I.E.L.D, is being held accountable for the catastrophes in the last 4 years - the Alien Invasion of New York, The unveiling of Hydra at Washington D.C., the Sokovia Disaster, and the Bombing at Lagos, Nigeria.
Looking at these events, a large majority of the world's governments consider the Avengers a threat, and want to bring them under UN command. This proposal gets them divided, as Tony Stark, being the businessman, understands how statute and government procedure works, while Capt. America believes in the original reason for the founding of this team, which is to provide quick reaction in extremely dangerous conditions to protect the world from falling into chaos.
One of the things that struck me was the part where Capt. Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America goes to attend the funeral of his late girlfriend Margaret 'Peggy' Carter, and then his little tryst with her niece.
It reminded me how easy it is to forget about the passage of time in youth. We often feel a certain sense of endlessness, very much like immortality in our youth. Indeed, it is easy to miss how it flies away, and those that are left behind in their younger state while the world around them changes at breakneck speeds, they still become obsolete and out of context. There isn't much choice: get old but stay relevant, or get left behind, and become a living ghost.
As the movie ended and I jogged down the exit stairs, the question was piercing me: am I getting left behind? Am I current enough to be relevant?
I watch the news over the internet, know in depth about current affairs most of the time, have made regular progress in my employee as well as entrepreneurial career, and yet, I am stuck for a breakthrough to the point I expected to have achieved already.
Even though the realization of the need for that one big leap has been there for a while, this feeling of obsolescence gave me a jolt to sort my ongoing projects and plan their schedule more tightly on the chronology.
So here it is, the rough plan for deadlines for current ongoing projects:
1. Website for RGBmill June 15th, 2016
2. Launch for Summer collection 2016 for Cchavi: End of June/First week of July 2016.
3. Cchavi.com online store: July 1, 2016
4. Fashion Conclave: August 10, 2016
5. Ostentation.org: September 1, 2016
6. Final draft for script for Deja Vu: October 1, 2016
7. Countrywide tour for location testing for Deja Vu: October 15 to 22, 2016
8. Shooting for Deja Vu: 17 to 26 March, 2017
Sticking to this schedule, and hopefully, success in the ventures will establish me as a somewhat successful entrepreneur and a minor filmmaker by the end of 2017, which is acceptable expectation from the future, as the most vile of people are no longer being a roadblock between me and the results to my efforts, and I am also getting the company of helpful people.
If my job gets stable, I will be able to take all the above missions, otherwise, another change of jobs,
which is not desirable anymore as of now, as banking will suffer if that happens, which is a very hard thing to go through, what with ECS for loans in the first week of every month.
I hope I stay relevant and age gracefully, the rest is up to destiny.
