The Lakehouse
I saw it last week. I really liked it even though there were elements that I thought were stupid and thus changed that canon in my head until or unless I go back and study how that might have worked. Also it ended abruptly. But I love that Keane song that they have in the commercial. It's set to the perfect start. Always loved that song and it just makes the movie awesome! Just something about Keanu that's fun. And you know, I didn't have one moment of thinking "Don't go under 60 mph!" the entire time I watched it. It really was quite enjoyable.
Not quite You've Got Mail, but it's hard to beat "Don't Cry Shop Girl. Don't Cry."
Of religion and philosophy.
I was just pondering earlier. It wasn't such a stretch that I declared myself to be Christian or Baptist. It's been a long time since I thought of myself as atheist. It's really hard not to believe in anything at all. That was just a passing idea in my younger days. I remember when I last decided to give a name to what I believed, it was diest in the Benjamin Franklin way. I couldn't dismiss entirely my believe in God, but I didn't see myself going to any particular church because they didn't line up with what I believed. This line of thought lead me into mocking anyone who had any belief in an organized church and dismissing those people as being nothing more than sheeple who couldn't think for themselves. Ah, my jaded know-it-all ness! Definitely glad to be rid of that. Or at least to be aware of that and try to keep it at bay.
Sadly now I have the reverse of that. A lack of confidence because I was once dismissive so now I find it hard to have a leg to stand on sometimes.
Of confidence and goals.
I was talking to the husband last night. We both feel the same about our confidence. It was much higher at ClientLogic. You know, that place was a hole, but everyone remembered the old days. They were good old days! And they were had at CL. We all hoped that somehow time would bring us back around to the old days. And yet we all knew better. Time doesn't work that way. It was such an odd place to captivate so many good people there with illogic such as that, but it did. And you know, of course it did. It's hard to describe ClientLogic to those who didn't live it. And that's why we stayed.
And I'm determined to have more good days. I'm not old enough to only look back at good old days. It's time to look forward to more good days and to make these good days.
Alright, enough of the summary! Enjoy the post
