on with the Quotes....
I'm not usually a big Nicole Kidman fan, but ended up watching "The Interpreter" with Sean Penn, I think it came out last year. I don't recall it being a huge hit, but I vaguely remember hearing about it. It was actually pretty good, but that isn't my point. Since I seem to be on an endless crusade for inspirational quotes I take from songs, TV, movies, or wherever I can find them.....I was surprised I found one I could take with me from this flick...... Nicole's character is from Africa where she grew up in some tribe-like culture where they believe that in order for a family grieving from the death of a loved one, they must save the life of someone else. She used this example..... a family watches from the shore as the man who murdered their loved one is tossed in a body of water and left to drown. Though their anger and hatred may want to let the man drown, according to their belief, if they do nothing and let him die, they will forever be haunted by th...
"Commander In Chief" Words of Wisdom....
Swiftly becoming one of my favorite shows. Such great writing! My snippet to take with me from last night's episode comes as Madame President Geena Davis is lamenting over her seemingly naive belief that becoming President would allow more chances to do the right thing. The First Gentleman is quick to point out that: “The right thing isn’t always the opposite of the wrong thing” She then adds a little later in the episode...... "The right decision isn't always the easy one. But that doesn't make it any less right"
and another......
From Debra Messing's big screen debut last summer.....can't think of the title right now...something that had wedding in the title. She hires an escort to go to her sister's wedding with her and pose as her serious boyfriend. Anyway...not the point. The great quote comes from the escort after he realized he's starting to truly fall for her: "I think I'd probably miss you even if we never met" Awwwww......
Another great line!!
From tonight's Commander In Chief: Revenge is the weak pleasure of a narrow mind. You go, Geena Davis!
A Line To Remember
I love my TV shows. Especially those with incredible writing that can entertain, as well as touch our emotions. I'm a sucker for some of the great lines that are delivered so simply, but can mean so much. Case in point....The best line on "Everwood" this week: "I think sometimes that ignoring something gives it too much power. Pretty soon all we can remember is what it is we were trying to forget!" I just love that!!!!!
The gift of music!
I have been so horrible about updating this damn Blog. The whole point was for me to try and help myself sort through this thing I'm supposed to call my Life, but seems more destined to become a train wreck! Perhaps the inspiration I've needed is about to make a grand entrance. I cannot put into words the way I've been touched and inspired by a singer/songwriter/musical genious I have been obsessed with ever since I accidentally discovered his music. If for no other reason than to make sure other people are touched by his music, I will make sure to keep updating this Blog with praises for CASEY STRATTON!! Go NOW to his website and prepare to be swept away by his magic!
Bill's HeadRush: I'm glad you're in my dash!
I just noticed this post on my friend Bill's Blog. It's a few months old, but I hadn't noticed it before tonight. It's quite profound, I guess you could say. It's one of those, "Be thankful for what you have, the people who love you, and the life you've been given because you never know when it will all come to an end" type of reminders....and that's one reminder we all need to hear every now and then, I suppose. Lord knows I do..........
Where the hell have I been?????
So, it's almost 3 in the morning on a Sunday night/Monday morning and I'm looking at this stupid Blog thinking to myself, "What the fuck did you start this for if you're not going to update it regularly......and if/when u do start updating it on a regular basis, are you gonna have the guts to be completely honest about how you're feeling and what you're thinking?" That was my whole intent, I guess. To just use this as a sounding board for myself. Not because I knew anyone else would read it, but because I was hoping that if I were to actually put my thoughts and feelings into words and in print, it might better help me to understand where the hell my head is at! That probably makes no sense at all, but as I sit and type, I'm thinking I should make a golden rule right now for this Blog of mine. And that rule should be that whenever I post an entry to this site, I will NOT ever go back later on and edit the content, or delete the whole post, or change it...
A stranger in Neverland
What a great article this is from a writer with The Advocate. It's a good reminder of how quick to judge we, as a society, have become. . . . especially when it involves something or in this case, someone, we can't seem to relate to or understand. Didn't somebody say something like, "We fear that which is unknown"? I dunno...that just popped into my head. Maybe nobody said it, but it sounds good to me. I don't care what anybody says about the guy, I do not believe that Michael Jackson would ever do anything to harm a child. People should spend more time on the facts, and stop obsessing on their own fear because they don't understand him!
Current Song I'm Feeling
Hollow music and lyrics by Casey Stratton It's so quiet walking along the edge It won't be long now til I forget who I am I am so afraid to move forward All the mistakes I've made surround me So I run away I cannot face what I’m throwing away It's just as well You could always tell when I was hollow I never asked for this, Happy just to breathe But now what I've done here means nothing to me I look inside and I feel so small I am never good enough to become what you already are So once again I have let you win the game of giving me a voice The pill has been swallowed but I am still hollow I look back upon my life and see what's been denied And I try to face it but I can’t ever seem to erase it
