At the Movies


I'm so excited that the show '' At the Movies'' will be returning to tv.
I dont know about anyone else but i love the movies. Movies make me absolutely happy. The cinema has everything i want and need on any day of the week. The snacks are expensive but i dont care i get my drink, go into the theater and pick my seat. I always sit in the middle close to the top as i get settled in and the trailers start i get butterflies in my stomach watching all the action and love stories put together in a timeless way that makes them all perfection. As the lights go down and the opening credits roll across the screen i feel anxious and excited to see what is going to happen, how the story is going to unfold and for two hours with out interruption from the outside world i am able to get lost in the story of a hero, of laughter, or happiness, or of loss. no matter what the out come of what the story is about its very freeing to know that i can get lost any time i would like but i prefer matinee's they are cheaper. the average movie goer says they enjoy the experience of a movie on a date or with their friends. I however find that i dont need either to get away in love story or an action adventure all it takes is some popcorn & dr. pepper . The critics who are able to view movies and watch them for a living literally have the best job in the world tell people and explaining to them that the hundreds of people involved in this piece of history have made someone's live a reality to everyone, have given you are reason to hope or have given you a chance to forgive you never knew you wanted.
cinema may you never change. may you always stay true to your dream making, butterfly installing, adventure seaking, love finding, musically enhanced escape that you have made for me i can never thank you enough for playing such a huge roll in my life. the academy award goes to you.

your not too bad after all


When I was younger there would be times that I remember thinking how mean my parents were and how I couldn't wait to grow up and get out from under their roof. It seems like lately these thoughts are coming back to my attention and i' m realizing how wrong I was for even thinking those thoughts about my parents. I have come to the conclusion that no matter how annoying, frustrating, mean, unfair, or disappointing our parents can seem as you grow up you suddenly see that really the choices they made were to keep you out of trouble, show you that they love you, take care of you, or make sure that you learned your lesson. I have also figured out that it is extremely annoying to find out that your parents were right at one time or another. Frustrating as they can make me my parents are pretty great. They have always told me they love me, they have helped me when I have been in really tight spots, they have supported me, they have laughed with me and they have been there for every holiday, birthday, and special occasion. Really as someone's child and not yet a parent myself I think now looking back at the years that my parents '' didn't understand me'' they understood me more than I understood myself. I wish that everyone had the chance to experience life with a family as amazing as mine. I' m not saying my family is perfect or my parents are better than anyone... but i am saying that I Love them more than anything and I am so blessed and happy.
