Warming Up

Tuesday 19th August 2003

I have completed Outrun.
Taking the left turn all the way.
It was surprisingly easy. I might say disappointingly so.
Though there is an amusing cartoon at the end where the "man" you play is thrown in the air by a jubillant crowd of men. Then a lady in a bikini walks across and all the men are distracted and drop you.
Presumably causing you serious injury.
Thus do we see how victory and defeat often walk hand in hand. How we may strive for something for so many years and yet find that the prize is not worth the having. If only I hd never completed the game then I would not have been thrown in the air and dropped by a group of enthusiastic and lecherous men. I was happier when I hadn't completed the game. But now the damage is done. There is no way back.

Oh Vanitas Vanitatum.
