Cupid’s Fate

I just got back from seeing “Love Actually,” a British film made popular in America that examines what love is really about. If any of you have not seen it, I highly suggest it as your next movie viewing. Suprisingly, it isn’t a chick flick like the title suggests. It has the perfect of estrogen and testerone. (I think you get what I’m saying). So go and check it out! (It was also nice paying $1.00 for that movie)

Also, I have been thinking a lot lately. Namely, about Valentines Day and how stupid the holiday is. Okay, here we go, trying not to sound too cynical and untraditional.

To me, Valentines Day is the stupidest hoiday ever. I don’t say this because I’m bitter, I just say this because I hate having requirements and expectations. For example, when a girl and guy are in a more than platonic relationship, “Guy” is almost obligated to shower “Girl” with flowers, candies, holiday is distructed with materialistic icons. If someone is going to like/love someone, it shouldn’t just be on one day when high expectations are making one feel pressured to complete the task at hand. Relationships aren’t one day out of the year…or at least that’s what I’ve been told. And I am not saying at all that it’s not fun to be showered with tokens of affection, but I think it’s stupid when an obligation is in order. Eh well…that’s my liberal/conservative self at work. Oh yea, I forgot. The reason that this cognition came about is because I live with a bunch of college kids, on campus. It’s really quite crazy. Rather , everybody was 1)going home for the weekend 2)becoming worldly with Valentines Day. It’s quite sad that things about this one holiday can have such an effect on people. For example, when I went to the movie with Michelle, there of course were a lot of couples there, and I am totally fine with that, but what bothered me was how they were treating the valentines day spirit. It became more of a competition amongst strangers with whom got more as of Friday. That’s also really annoying. Valentines Day isn’t even on Friday. It’s on Saturday….which is now today, but still. The world has transformed such a beautiful thing into demise. Oh well, there’s not much I can do to change that. I can only change myself. Well, as with the spirit, I will share a sweet song depictive of the season.

“SLEEPING TO DREAM”

words by jason mraz
music by jason mraz & peter stuart

I’m dreaming of sleeping next to you I’m feeling like a lost little boy in a brand new town
I’m counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes
and they all fall down.


As I lay me down tonight,
I close my eyes and what a beautiful sight

I’m sleeping to dream about you
I’m so tired of having to live without you
So I’m sleeping to dream about you and I’m so tired


I found myself in the riches (Your eyes, your lips, your hair.) Well you were everywhere
But I woke up in the ditches. I hit the light and I thought you might be here
but you were nowhere. You were nowhere at home.


As I lay me back to sleep
Lord I pray that I can keep


Sleeping to dream about you
I’m so tired of having to live without you
So I’m sleeping to dream about you and I’m so tired


(It’s just a little a lullaby to keep myself from crying myself to sleep at night.)


Sleeping to dream about you
I’m so tired of having to live without you
So I’m sleeping to dream about you and I’m so tired

Glad to hear the movie review - I had read it was worth seeing but had not heard a first hand report. You're not alone in your beliefs about the artificiality of Valentine's Day - many others think it's just hype for increasing sales. Gifts given when there is no obligation or "special holiday" are the most treasured.

I have got 1 recommendation for your weblog. It seems just like there are a number of cascading stylesheet troubles
while opening a selection of webpages inside google chrome and safari.
It's functioning okay in internet explorer. Possibly you'll be ahle to double check that.

Neat blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from
somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine.

Please let me know where you got your theme.
Thanks
