This video will remain one of the coolest things i’ve ever seen & every time it’s on PBS, I can’t help but watch it… so this is honor of the Les Mis trailer that came out this week which you should watch here:

Have you seen October Baby yet? My friend Jason is in it and I went to the premiere a couple of months ago in Nashville with he and some friends. It was really good. I have never really known much about abortion survivors…in fact, I don’t think I ever really thought about it being possible. But let me tell you something, it is a powerful movie. The message of forgiveness is beautiful and convicting. I encourage you to see it if you haven’t yet and then tell people about it. Jason did a great job in it and I am proud of him for representing a loyal friend who stands by someone in a dark time.

Just saw this commercial on the apple site. It made me smile - i definitely recommend smiling.

I saw Titanic 3D the other night. I bought two tickets thinking that it’d be easy to find someone who’d want to spend a wednesday night with me, leo and kate. this was a bad decision. i literally couldn’t have been any more excited about seeing a movie. every time the preview came on, excitement rushed through my veins. maybe i was craving nostalgia? maybe it was a needed escape from the busyness of life and all the transitions happening around me…i have no idea. I just know that when the time came for me to go to the theater…it was a no brainer that i’d have to just bow up and go alone. So solo I flew. It was 8:30 at night and I was going to sit in a theater for 3 and a half hours, wearing 3D glasses and shoveling popcorn in my mouth…all by myself. You’d think that would be depressing. Nope. For whatever reason I felt liberated. It was like I was reintroduced to my independence. There was no regret. The movie was better than I remembered and I wouldn’t change a thing about my decision. I journaled about it when I got home (at midnight). This past week I set sail on the Titanic and it was a moment I’ll never forget.

This song is GOOD. I will type a post with something other than a picture or music video in it soon enough. I’m still trying to get a handle on my new job, schedule and free time.

I’ve known about Andrew Bird for awhile now but don’t think i’d fully wrapped my head around how brilliant he is. I will see him in concert one day; until then, i’ll just keep watching his youtube videos.
Enjoy!

Today is my friend Hunter’s birthday. He was one of my closest friends in college and was a few years older than me…making me feel instantly cooler than I really was. He is a serious guy but had moments of goofy that kept me laughing. I learned a lot from being his friend. Hunt’s a dad & husband now and I rarely get to see him. There is a journal i write in … very slow making progress in … but it’s kind of a record of my close friendships through the years. My friends are incredible and definitely the closeness in personal sharing and proximity changes, but the memories will always blow me away.
With H, a few fun ones are, roadtripping to meet his family deep in the country of Mississippi. we went boar-“hunting” which really was boar spotlighting and ate some good food, went to a jr.high basketball game and just laughed a bunch. Another memory is the “chair of destiny.” This was a game my roommates (at the time) and I made up. We had a basketball goal (tiny) above our door in our house. Our house was an old 2 bedroom house in which we crammed four people in. It was on Main Street and had a big porch…plus our door was pretty much always open for people to stop in. H was part of the “chair of destiny” beginnings. The object of the game was to sit in the chair and lob the ball up to try and make it in the goal. It was very similar to a magic 8 ball. You’d ask a question, shoot, and if you made it, you’d know your fate. I also only went rolling (toilet-paper) once in college and my roommate and I tp’d his house. There were two tiny trees in his yard. Naturally we wore all black and painted our faces. We lied about it for a good few months. Because it’s his birthday and I have so many more great memories of our friendship, i wanted to share him with you today. happy hunter day…and wednesday the 7th. Good day my readers.

This song is called ‘Too Old To Cut The Mustard.’ It’s too bad we don’t use phrases like that anymore! I looked it up, it basically means, you can’t cut it anymore. There is a little tidbit o’ fun for you on this now pretty about to be stormy Friday!
