Keep Moving Forward

I decided yesterday was blog worthy. So, here I am, blogging about it.
First of all, yesterday I went to University Mall to do a little window shopping, and while I was there, I came to the stark realization that I am old. No, that is the wrong word, a full blown adult is more like it. I was walking about and decided to drop into Aeropostale, and was immediately overcome by the fact that I was there by myself, without a teenage sibling as an excuse, and it was odd.
I don't really know when this change happened, I never really feel like I am any older than I was in high school, partially because I'm still in school, and everyone around me, regardless of their age, is still in school as well. I am well aware of the fact that in two weeks I will be 21 and 3/4 years old... therefore, an adult I must be. It was a strange phenomena to experience just the same.
Then, last night on campus, they showed an outdoor movie, Meet the Robinsons. I don't want to give any plot away, but I really did end up liking this movie a lot. At the very end of the film they put up a quote by Walt Disney that said, Keep Moving Forward. Now I have to say, Walt Disney really is one of my greatest heroes, I simply think he is amazing, up there with C.S. Lewis or something.
It was odd, I can't really explain why this meant so much to me, but it did. So, here I am, I will keep moving forward, despite the fact that now I'm old. Graduating in December and moving forward into the unknown. I have to say though, life is good. That is all.

I broke down yesterday while I was at work and ran up to the bookstore and bought a copy and starting reading feverishly. I just finished it like 5 minutes ago. it was good... it's weird for it to be all over and to just be sitting in my apt alone...letting it sink in. I've been reading all day... I think I need to shower and eat... you know the things that aren't really important when you're reading hp. :)

Re a Drop of Golden Sun

So, I've been thinking lately about what makes me me. I mean, I know there is really only one thing that makes us who we are, and everything else is just an extension of that. This, however, is my list of extensions that stop me from being a clone of anyone else. 1. I aspire to be Mary Poppins when I grow up. 2. I absolutely love juice boxes, I could drink them forever. 3. Chelsea is probably my hero. 4. I fear change, no matter how many times change has turned out good for me, I still fear it. 5. I do have a favorite number, and it is five. 6. I also have a favorite color, turquoise. 7. I am absolutely fascinated by communism and fascism. 8. I love the ocean. 9. Anberlin is my favorite band. 10. I am afraid of cows. 11. I am not a post modernist, I don't think its complete crap, but I'm not one. 12. Cheese makes me happy. 13. pumpkins make me happy. 14. I think that not only can scents trigger memories, but memories can trigger scents. 15. I have never been ...

A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...

Tell Me on a Sunday: Letting Go of the Upper Hand

Human nature is a funny thing isn't it? I have noticed in relationships that I lean towards the side of carefully guarding everything about myself in order to avoid seeming vulnerable in any way. I am certain that I am not the only one who does this. Although The Main Ingredient explained to us clearly in the 70's that everybody plays the fool sometimes, we still try to be the exception to the rule. Lately I have been evaluating myself and how closely I guard emotions, experiences, and fears in order to not end up as the fool. I find myself coming back to this question: when is it good to keep the upper hand, and when is it better to trust and let go?
