I've been thinking about this a lot lately: is it better to always take the moral high road and get walked all over, or is it a smarter man who is able to realize when to throw those trappings aside to get ahead? I still maintain that Clive Owen's character was not any more morally superior to the rest of the cast of Closer, but the characteristic that sets both him and Natalie Portman apart in that movie is their ability and ambition to get what they want (and know what that is in the first place). Sometimes you just have to get out there and grab what you want, and let nothing stand in your way.

Something keeps pushing me forward: it's my refusal to turn around and head back.

I was checking out the first season of Millennium's special features and came across a featurette about the logo and opening title sequence. I found some more background on the symbology of the Ouroboros (my tattoo): it was used as an amulet against suffering, as well as a representation of the cosmos. It is often associated with the phrase "One is the All" and is often termed as the circle of "eternal becoming." Interesting stuff.
