Cookie Jars

I wish I had something that I collected. There was a time where I was collecting movies, c.d.s, and comics. As I became more and more broke I had to give up those collections that I loved so much.



I feel like everyone should have something that they collect. When one has a collection, he/she cares about it and has this motivation to keep it in good shape and continually grow the collection. It brings this since of responsibility to take care of something that one puts his/her self into.

I guess I just feel that a collection is good for the soul.

If I had more money I would build a pretty awesome shoe collection. I am a big fan of shoes so it just makes since that I would collect them if I had the means. Shoes are a pretty ideal collection because the massive variety that shoes offer. A shoe collection would be the best.

If not shoes than I would totally collect hats and ties. I was working in an apartment one time, installing a fan, and the old man who lived their had a massive hat and tie collection. He easily had enough of each to make a different combination for at least a couple months. That man must have gotten all the ladies at the early bird buffets, "every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man".

I think I might start collecting cookie jars.

Start a collection.

Super Late Night.

I'm Better Off By Your Side.

Mankind is more see through than we like to believe. We want others to see what we are dealing with. What makes us feel the way we are feeling. What our stories are.

How many times you have been in a bad mood and when someone asks all you if anything is wrong you reply with a lame attempt at hiding your issues?

This is no good. The whole purpose of having other people is around is to show that we are not in this alone. Life is not meant to be spent fighting on your own.

We all have this complex that where it is thought to be a sign of weakness to need help. Don't believe this lie, and don't let others. Be there for your friends just as you want them to be there for you. Mountains won't seem so high and oceans will seem shallow.

We are all here together. I believe there is a reason for it.

This Ain't The Hot Topic Vampire Movie

So I finally got to see "Let The Right One In"

I have been looking forward to seeing this film ever since I caught the preview when I went to see"Milk" with my friends Micah and Josh. I am kinda a sucker for horror films, and especially ones that are declared to be the best in the genre. This movie really did not disappoint. 

The movie is Swedish so be prepared for subtitles, but the dialogue is simple and direct. It is a really interesting story about a boy who is bullied at school and kind of lonely. A girl moves next door and turns out to be a vampire. The film follows their growing relationship and how they deal with the obvious complications that comes with hanging around a vampire.

My favorite part of the film is that it did not turn its back on the classic vampire folklore. In the film cats hate all vampires, vampires cannot enter a room with out being invited, and they burst into flames if exposed to any sunlight.

I think the best way to describe the film is how Guillermo del Toro puts it "A chilling fairy tale. As delicate, haunting and poetic a film as you're ever bound to see."

This film is so unique. Though it is in another language, the emotions don't get lost in translation. This movie really delivers on the things that make a great horror movie, and is worth checking out.
