I am Sam's desperate need for more blogs

Rule number one. You do not talk about fight club.
Rule number two. You do not talk about fight club.


Well to bad that I'm talking about Fight Club in this post.
This movie is easily one of my favorite movies. I could watch this movie at anytime. It is so good, and it has a lot of very deep meaning and symbolism to it. One of my favorite quotes of the movie is, 


     "Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables – slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won’t. We’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off. 


We do squander our potential more often than not in this world. We define ourselves by the house that we live in and the car that we drive. When it's all said and done our bodies will be lying in the ground and our possessions won't matter. What we do on this earth matters, not what we have. That is why as Christians we should focus on living our lives so that we leave behind something that matters. Our legacy is more than the things we leave behind in a will. Our family, our words, our contributions, these are what will be left behind that matters.
