I am a big James Bond. When I say big, I imply gargantuan. I'm the fellow who would not watch for the cable networks to run a marathon, I run my personal marathon. I bought all of the films after they have been first launched on videotape. My own circle of relatives bought all of the films for me after they have been launched on DVD which I absolute confidence am satisfied that they from time to time regret.
Admittedly, my fanaticism for 007 is going nicely past film ownership. I'm the fellow who has watched the films so typically that I quote the strains earlier than the actors themselves which commonly infuriates absolutely everyone looking with me; any other motive why my marathons are commonly regarded with the aid of using me and me alone. I'm the fellow who as soon as attempted to drink martini's shaken and now no longer stirred simply to emulate 007. I stated attempted however I simply cannot collect a flavor for James' drink of choice. I am the fellow who works every day with the dream withinside the returned of his thoughts that I will at some point get to journey to all of the amazing places that James has visited and of path force an Aston Martin.
We Have All the Tine withinside the World
Well the alternative evening, as I became flipping via channels and found out that there has been not anything thrilling on TV, I concept now became as excellent a time as any to have a mini James Bond marathon. I commenced the night time looking certainly considered one among my favourite Bond films, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
For different Bond Fanatics, I realize this film functions an uncommon James Bond. George Lazenby performs an emotional and ultimately married James Bond. Many of the 007 Nation hate this depiction however this submit isn't supposed to argue the authenticity of Mr. Lazenby's portrayal of Bond. Rather, this submit is set the very last scene of the film and the films subject matter track, We Have All the Time withinside the World, executed with the aid of using the exquisite Louis Armstrong.
In the very last scene, it seems that James and his new bride, Tracy - opposite to the film's subject matter track - did now no longer have all of the time withinside the world. All James and Tracy could have could be a marriage and a reception. Before James and Tracy ought to force off into the sundown and experience their honeymoon, Tracy became gunned down all through a force with the aid of using shooting. While I even have visible this film and this scene a ways too typically to mention, I discovered myself a piece extra choked up than normal. I suppose that I became choked up a piece extra this time due to the fact I pondered what could fathers, dad and mom do otherwise if we knew because the actress who performed James' wife, Tracy (Dianna Rigg) that our function as fathers, as dad and mom could now no longer be prolonged for any other scene. Even in case you aren't a father or parent, I marvel what you'll do otherwise in case you knew you'll now no longer be part of the subsequent scene of the film you have been starring in; the film known as your life.
Tomorrow Is Not Promised
I am satisfied that during a kingdom that prides itself on and extols for any and all who will concentrate its "religious" beliefs, we do now no longer absolutely draw close or to be blunt - have a clue approximately the way to stay out the that means of the maximum apparent scripture. For instance Matthew 6:34 states "Therefore don't worry approximately the next day, for the next day will fear approximately itself. Each day has sufficient hassle of its personal." Instead of making use of this scripture to our lives, residing withinside the moment, residing for the day that we've, residing every day to its fullest potential, maximum people stay our lives because the subject matter track of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Most people stay or even love as though we've all of the time withinside the world. Too lots of us spend a lot time traumatic approximately what would possibly appear the next day that we absolutely leave out out on today.
The Numbers 2; 107; 6,420; 154,080; and 56,000,000
According to The World Factbook, about 2 human beings die each second. This way that 107 residents of the sector die every and each minute of every and each hour. Think approximately that range for a second. One hundred and 7 is the scale of a marching band. Six-thousand, 4 hundred and twenty human beings die every hour. That way withinside the time that it took me to put in writing this submit 6,420 human beings are now no longer with us. Six-thousand, 4-hundred and twenty is a variety of large than the scholars who attend many schools and universities. One hundred, fifty-4 thousand and 80 is the range of folks who die every day and is a variety of that's extra than the populace of many U.S. cities. To positioned 154,080 human beings in angle envision the range of human beings looking an NFL sport at 3 one of a kind stadiums disappearing from the face of the earth all at one time. Fifty-six million is the range of folks who die every year. Yes, 56 million human beings that's about twenty percentage of the complete U.S. populace die every year.
