Somebody save me

Save me from the snow. Save me from myself. Save me from my life in general. Sometimes things feel so mundane i could scream. Then, at times, the world feels so bloody complicated that I wonder what it felt like when things were just moving along.

I was a movie-holic today. I watched "Ned Kelly". Which, if you haven't heard about it, is a movie based on the legend (and real person from what i understand) of Ned Kelly and the Kelly gang in Australia. It was very cool. Heath Ledger, Orlando Bloom, Naomi Watts means good strong acting. I might have to write a full on review for this one.

The other movie I saw this evening was "Saved". I love movies that are able to both attack a religious idea and also embrace it at the same time. This movie was set in a christian high school, with a group of extremely christian children. It was about high school, and how hard it is and how life sometimes gets in the way of religion. It was an excellent commentary on life and spirituality and the difficulties of having both without any extremes. It was just good.

Other than that and some sitting around typing on my computer and chatting with some people, it's been a snowy, cold day of conversations and contemplations, with only a couple of tears in the process.

Things i learned today:
- No one is perfect, not even my parents. But i got stuck with some of the best parents on the planet.
- Words are better with -alog attached to the endalog.
- Skydiving is scary, but sometimes it's the only way to get into the fortress.
- I love. I don't need to be specific with that, because when i write it like that it's always true.
- I'm sometimes tempted to name my first born child Mary Jane.
- When you have that chance, don't let it slip away.
- We think so much, sometimes we forget to just feel.
