New Things: One day full of absolutely nothing, made cake balls, helped my dear friend Shonica move (again), one week out from Christmas without Christmas gifts to give... awesome!
On my day full of absolutely nothing, I did watch Die Hard 1,2, and 4. By now you must understand my love for these movies. They are a great combination of humor, action,wit, and sometimes romance. I'm pretty sure there is no way Bruce Willis could actually live through everything he has experienced but this is why we are so impressed with him. I love having to think through a movie. I feel less lazy watching the movie when I have to pay attention to the plot. The Bourne series is next on my list to watch. Man, I have lofty goals in life.
I'm not sure why I like these movies so much. I guess I like the thrill and the brave hero. Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with me that a good ol chick flick doesn't keep my attention as much. I mean, I like some chick flicks but I get so excited about a car taking out a helicopter or a wildly ridiculous amount of explosives that never kill the target. The other night my roommate and I watched a chick flick where four men were in a fight and not even a bloody nose, weak! I think I like these movies because I look at life with thrill and wit and just know that something in my life is going to blow up. It depicts life as a hazard rather than unicorns that poop rainbows. My concern is since when did women start buying into the fact that life stinks until a man sweeps them off their feet.
Here is the truth... welcome life's comedy, pursue wit, find a hero to rescue you from disaster, and don't settle for a cliche. The best movies relate to all of these areas. Find a theme song and roll wit it as the credits run with you driving in a convertible on the highway to satisfaction.
