Stevie's review of "Off the Map" DVD

I got off the map today.. it arrived this morning but i had no time to watch it of course az i had a glorified school day to attend, so az you could imagine i waz dying for the slow drenching, melting time to eagerly go past quickly, well i made it through the day. i watched it.. and i have now taken another turn of dimension on the chili peppers which iz far beyond any sort of human explanation.. i believe my love and respect for these fellow men tends to grow stronger and stronger every time they give birth to something fresh.. the only words i could really use to express my emotions right now after watching off the map is.. well i feel a beautiful saddness within me, and i never really knew what it meant to cry on the inside..but i know it more now than ever.. and i know it so clearly.. this izn't the type pf saddness where it brings you misery and suffering an agonising pain.. i don't know really az i believe this iz the first time i have ever felt this.. it's sort of a positive saddness.. it just felt like that i watching the last show they had evr done.. i'm not sure why, just because of the way everything waz set out onto my television screen i suppose.. i didn't breathe at all when i waz watching these four beautiful creatures hold hands and listen to john's tiny little prayer.. they all know what they have been through, and where they are now in this sort of realistic heaven, and they have shared that feeling across to so many.. there's so much depth, so much meaning.. it waz wonderful seeing them in interviews, listening to john talk about himself in other worlds, having anthony say how much he loves watching john cry, quietly laughing at how easily chad waz distracted by a squirrel, and feeling comforted in knowing that flea said he will be creating and playing music for az long az he lives.. these last 2 years of my life have become something really.. interesting.. and also unexplainable.. and i have basically grown into loving the red hot chili peppers more and more day by day, but you know.. i can't go on talking about them like they are my friends, because the reality iz, i don't know them.. all i can do iz just sit back and love the music they bring to this world.. and i suppose these boys are not saints either, they are just people too.. but people who have brought beauty into this world, this life.. and it haz been such a long time since i have literally laughed out loud, but that all changed when chad waz drowning in a sea of ping pong balls and spaghetti, compliments of the foo fighters of course.. oh my that would have just been.. too much humour to handle if i witnessed that in real life.. i am glad to see the people i admire taking such good care of themselves.. and knowing how to love others and all that jazz..
