Group Presentations Day #2

The Life as Fiction group's movie was fantastically hilarious, I loved the characters and each person seemed to depict the epitome of the person they were representing. I really enjoyed the idea of having a program for people struggling with the anxiety that go along with the realization of being a character in a story. The idea of needing a twelve step program for it was nothing short of brilliant. Obviously we can all take something away from this presentation, that no matter who or what made us who we are, we still have control of our lives and we can do with them what every we want, well at least, relatively speaking.

Our presentation I feel did a good job of capturing the theme of eternal recurrence. Although I will admit I was a bit hesitant at first about making our presentation, all about farts and seeing no real connection between that and recurrence, I thought about it and Jennifer spoke of gas as the link. It now makes even more sense to me after hearing Dr. Sexson tell his story about gas at the morgue. The inclusion of "Box of Rain" came from an epiphany I had after a group meeting while listening to the song, I realized it captures almost every theme we discussed, if your not familiar with it I suggest you look it up. Keep On Truckin' with the presentations.
