Everything's Amazing, Nobody's Happy…



The best thing that will come out of the economic crash is this. It is funny how people take things for granted. The other day Tiffiney and I were discussing what to do about our phone bill because we have a good deal and yet we continue to run out of minutes. Should we upgrade the plan or not? Anyway we talked about going back to a house phone and laughed at the thought of it.

Technology is so great and once you have enjoyed something better it is difficult to go back. For this reason I love playing video games and watching HD television on my LCD screen. I lost my Digital SLR camera in Switzerland and am now saving up for a new one, but am getting a better model. I can't stand using the internet at my parent's house because it won't load YouTube videos fast enough. What has happened to us? Take a break from the world and relax…

Live Life To The Fullest…


“Life can only be understood looking backward. It must be lived forward.”

Well Tiffiney and I finally got around to seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button this last Saturday after missing it when it first came out and then it being sold out on another occasion. We may be late to the party, but we saved money in the end by going to the Cinefour theater. Anyway I wanted to share this quote from the movie that is spoken near the end of the film. I really liked it and it puts the things that are important in life in perspective, at least for me anyway. It will definitely be a part of my life forever…
pause for a second and then read:

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.
There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it.
And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you’re proud of.
If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”


*NOTE it reminds me of Baz Luhrman's song/poem "Everbody's Free (o Wear Sunscreen)"
