I PROMISE THIS IS GOING TO BE MY LAST BF4 POST . . . . WELL, HOPEFULLY . . . . I LOVE THE WAY THIS CLIP CAPTURES THE INTENSE REFLECTIVE PROCESS OF THE BUILDER . . . . MICHAEL BARRAGAN FROM 'EVIL SPIRIT' CONTEMPLATING LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING THE NIGHT BEFORE THE 'BIG ONE' . . . .

GUYS AT THE LEVEL OF THIS BLOKE, WHOEVER THEY ARE, WHEREVER THEY ARE, WHATEVER THEY'RE BUILDING, I GUESS THEY MUST ALL GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS OF INTROSPECTION AND SELF CRITICISM . . . . LOOKING DEEP WITHIN THEIR MINDS EYE, ASSESSING WHETHER THE FINAL REALITY MEASURES UP TO THE MENTAL PICTURE THEY'VE CLUNG TO THROUGHOUT THE JOURNEY OF TRYING TO GO FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY . . . . IT'S SO MUCH MORE AT THIS STAGE OF THE GAME THAN, 'SHIT, ONLY TWELVE HOURS LEFT TO GET THIS SUCKER DONE !!', BY NOW, THERE AIN'T NO GOIN BACK.

I LOOK AT THIS AS REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT ALL TRULY GREAT CRAFTSMEN PUT THEMSELVES THROUGH WHENEVER THE END OF THE ORDEAL IS NIGH, HAVE THEY REMAINED TRUE TO THEIR VISION, THEIR 'IDEAL' FORM . . . . NO MATTER WHAT THE GAWKERS AND THE HAWKERS MIGHT SAY OR THINK ABOUT IT, THE SIGNIFICANT AND PRE-EMMINENT CONCERN FOR TALENTS SUCH AS THIS IS ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY . . . . DO 'THEY' LIKE WHAT THEY'VE DONE, PURE AND OH SO FUCKING SIMPLE, ARE 'THEY' SATISFIED THAT THEIR BEST HAS BEEN GOOD ENOUGH IN THEIR OWN EYES, 'THEY' SET THEIR OWN STANDARD FOR THE ELUSIVE MOTHERFUCKER THAT PERFECTION IS, PLEASING THEMSELVES IS THE HARDEST PART OF ALL.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH MR BARRAGAN . . . . YOU NAILED IT.



***** MUCHOS GRACIAS TO 'EVILSPIRITENGINEERIN' FOR THE POST ON POOTUBE.
