It's amazing sometimes how the people around you see, hear and watch you more then you know and they figure you out. Sometimes they come out and surprise you with this knowledge when you least expect it.
My best friend is like that. I was lying on my bed thinking about something she said to me that really surprised me because it was something that I personally would have never thought about myself, but deep inside knew I needed. She does that kind of stuff all the time and it always surprises me. It's rare that you find that kind of person in your life, but I'm so glad that I have them. Yes, them !I have no than one of those kind of people in my life.
It good to know that when you think you're invisible to the world, you really aren't!

It's the Simple Things

I'm sitting at my best friends house and while we were watching Harry Potter I started to think about different adventures we've had over the years we've known each other. We've done tons of things....got drunk in TJ, sought out thrills at Magic Mountain, gone to countless dinners and on countless mall trips and we've even gone to the spa together. But I think my favorite time together was just this year. After not seeing each other for about a month Amber invited me over for lunch and we just sat in her kitchen ate lunch and talked. It was simple but it was special, just a moment with a friend. No expectations or distractions and when it was over I felt refreshed and reenergized! It was one of those days that I will always remember because of the way I felt. It made me feel good.
What I'm trying to say is, you don't always needs big events to have a special moment with someone, sometimes it happens when you least expect it and you still don't realize it, until like me, you are sitting in a room and thinking back on the moments of your life.
If you do have these moment cherish them whether in the moment or in hindsight. Those moments are the great ones!

The Twilight Series

On July 15th, I added a post called "READING". I mentioned in that post that I was currently reading a book called Twilight. Well it's the first book of the series by that same name. I just finished (well about two hours ago) the third book of the series which is titled Eclipse.
Three books in Exactly two weeks, that's the fastest I've read pretty much anything (expect the last to HP books). I probably would have read the books in a week if I had access to them back to back, but I had to wait a week to borrow Eclipse and a day or two to buy New Moon, which is the second book.
I'm really enjoying the books and the characters and can't wait to see what happens in the last book, Breaking Dawn, which is being released on August 2, 2008. I do have to wait for a while, but my bro just bought it as an early birthday gift, so I'm expecting it to be delivered next week sometime.
I'm excited and happy that I've found books that can keep me intrigued and "tuned" in. Can't wait til next week!

Ask and you shall receive

The trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is now online...and I figure out how to upload it on here so here's the link....enjoy!

When you're hurt and you don't know what to say

Sometimes you get hurt by someone and you don't really know what to say to them. If you're anything like me it all comes out wrong anyway and you end up lashing out and hurting that person. For me, sometimes all I need is to sit back and rely on myself for a time. Ignore the person/people who I've been hurt by.

That's what I'm going through. It's tough being hurt, but even tougher when the people/person who hurt you is the person you'd usually be able to confide in.

Harry Potter and the Half blood Prince

As some of you may know, I ADORE the Harry Potter series...although I wasn't allowed to read them in some peoples company (Momma Maria). So every year I look forward to either a new book or movie. And well as most of us know the Harry Potter story came to an end last summer, but we still have some movies to look forward too.

Warner Bros., well at least this is what the HP fansites said, put out a press release saying that the new teaser trailer for HP/HBP would be out with the Dark Knight. I can understand that, i heard from some that they saw it and from others that they didn't (go figure). But for the life of me, I can't find anything about it on line and the WB hasn't put up the new site either.

I know I'm jumping the gun a little, but come on, the movie comes out in November, I NEED something to get me through til then...my next major movie fix is HARRY. And I'm stating to get all itching...it doesn't help that I've run into a snag with the summer reading, but only until Saturday!

Oh, I guess I just have to wait!

Reading

I'm reading again, right now I'm reading this book called Twilight. It is the first in a series of 4 books called the "Twilight Series", it's about Vampires (one of my all time favorite subjects...although this is the first book about them I've ever read).
Twilight is very much a girls book, it's about an awkward teenage girl going to a new school in a town she's fairly familiar with (her dad lives there). And she stumbles across this boy who she can't help but fall in love with. I just read this very intense moment that all girls, at sometime in their life, wish for. Where you are finally told (and in return you tell) what true feeling are flowing between you and how incredible it all is, without being overly sexual or cheesy just really special and quite poetic!
I'm really captivated by it, I started reading it around 6:30 yesterday evening and I'm almost done with it...I read it on every break I had today and basically every time I wasn't on stage or didn't have to pay attention to my boss. I'm taking a short break to do laundry and some Internet stuff, but then I'm going straight back to it.

I love reading, but it's been difficult to stay focused on a book lately. A former co-worker who wrote and published a novel sent me her book to read and I got about halfway and then faded, not because it wasn't good, I just wasn't in the right head space for it. I wasn't completely drawn in because I didn't allow myself to be. I was still more interested in what I had recorded on my DVR when I got home from work then what I in was reading. But when I'm done with this book I am going to restart that one and then I have one more that another friend suggest I read before I move on to the next book in the Twilight Series. I can't wait, but I need to finish the other books first, it's just the right thing to do and now that I'm back in the mood for reading I can't get enough books....


So if you have any suggestions for books I might be interested in just suggest them. I like fantasy (Harry Potter...well he kinda changed my life, Lord of the Rings) and girlie books (in her shoes). So anything like that. Dude, I just remembered...I also am intending to read Mists of Avalon and The Vampire Chronicles...it's gonna be a good summer for reading. I'm excited.


Until Next Time....

Writing

I miss writing, I write on here all the time but it's not really writing...it's actually typing. Computers effect my everyday life now more then they ever have. Even when I was working in an office working on a computer all day I still had to write. I was writing constantly. There was always a pen in my hand and a notepad nearby. But now, it's different.

I don't work within an office but I do work with an computer all day. I work with a computer in the field. If I write it's to remind to me write a note about my computer for the tech department. It's not fulfilling enough to satisfy my my need to write. It's seem that without that pen in my hand I haven't really had the need to express anything creative either.

I used to be able to sit and let things flow out of men through my pen onto paper. But now, I'm just stagnant, there's nothing even remotely creative trapped in my mind with the need to come out of me. It's sad really, it's a blank emptiness that I don't seem that get rid of. I'm lost without this part of me and frankly, I don't see an end to it.

I love my job, but I'm starting to wonder if it is causing me to lose part of myself.

I started to really focus on this blog right around the time I stopped writing in my journal. I guess I view this space as a journal, although i tend to sensor some things I write about because of those who read it. Maybe if I start writing in my journal again I will find myself more content in the my creative side.

I don't know, I'm just talking right now. I'm talking to hear myself think, not really for anyone else. Isn't that what this whole blog thing is about anyway. I have no clue who really reads this, so I just write. More to get my opinions out of me because sometimes I just can't seem to hold them in and sometimes I just don't have anyone to share them with.

Movie Reviews...

It's been a while since I've reviewed a movie and rightfully so....

First, I have to give you the background on this post. I started to write this last week about 45 mins after seeing Wanted. I started off by going on and on about seeing Indiana Jones and how disappointed I was and all this hogwash about rewatching the originals and being bored with those too. Then I started in on Wanted...I was writing this all on my phone and because I was walking down a hill and holding my phone awkwardly, I ended up turning it off and unfortunately lost the whole thing...so this is a new version.


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

All I have to say is that I want my 8 bucks back!


Wanted.

Kicks butt. You all know that I love Angelina Jolie and I'm falling in love with James McAvoy! This is the perfect film for him to really kick start his career in the US. It's fast paced, smart and well...mind blowing. I wasn't bored (like during Indy) and I appreciated all of the special effects even though I knew every bit of it was impossible. I didn't care that they were bending bullets and flipping cars and all that because I was strapped in for the ride and enjoying it all.
Some may not get it cause it's too much this and too much that and very unbelievable, but a good movie is supposed to take you out of your world and put you squarely in someone else's. Sometimes when I watch a movie on the big screen my own thoughts and life sneak in a pull me away from the story, but that did not happen at all during this movie. And that for me is outstanding.
So if you haven't gone to it Wanted yet, then go ahead and do it...you won't regret it!

Ipod Troubles

I was about to come on here and complain about my Ipod and how I have been having problems keeping it charged as of late. And how I thought I'd finally figured out the problem and that it stood charged all day yesterday but when I picked it up this morning and tried to play it, it was dead again.

That's what I was going to say, but after plugging it in to charge I realized that I had accidentally but it on lock so I couldn't do anything to it and it would look and act dead. Oh well, I'm a dork.
