What are you leaving behind?
I saw a movie lastnight for the second time. 500 days of summer, and what a great movie it was. And after seeing it I remember thinking to myself am I ever going to be able to leave something behind this wonderful. And I have come to the conclusion that whatever it is that I do in this life, I will somehow find away to leave something behind for the human race, otherwise what the hell am I doing here. It is not enough to just make money and have these monetary things. I feel that it is our duty to do something more. Leave something behind that you can be proud of. Something that will mean something to more than just you. Leave something behind that in some way makes this world a better place.

People always lie
It has come to my attention that people always lie. I really do want to believe in the best in everybody, but my 24 years on this earth has shown me otherwise. I really do wish that this wasn't the case but no matter which way you step or where you try to go you are always going to encounter people that are willing to lie to your face.
The funny thing about this whole thing is that everyday we probably encounter more than a dozen people that lie right to our face and we could really care less about it. But the thing that really stick are those people that we are closest to that are willing to risk it all by lying to us. Because weather they know it or not, they are. They are risking everything that has been built to that very point that they tell you that lie.
Of course I'm not talking about those little white lies we always tell each other I'm talking about the big ones. Those I love you lies. Those cheating lies. Those lies about how close we are and how you are willing to do anything for them.
I often times think that people don't realize the effect these lies are going to have on the people they say they care about. I've been lied to recently. And maybe besides that person lying to me I have also bee lying to myself. Thinking that this person really does care when I know that deep down they only care about themselves.
But that's the thing right, we want to believe that these people care about us even after they've lied right to our faces. Even after they have made up feel as though we aren't worthy. Even after they've told you they love you and completely proved otherwise. We still want to carrie these people in our hearts even though we are not really in there's. Of course we believe we are, but really we aren't.
So I employ all of you to really look at a person. Because sometimes you really can't take what they say into consideration, because really what people say and what they feel only matters to them, it's what they do that really counts. So for those of you out there that didn't get this let me repeat the following, PEOPLE ALWAYS LIE.

My First Time
I really don't know what it is am suppose to say on these things. This is my first time. I've been wanting to do something, you know something that I felt was important and although this isn't the most important thing I think I'll do in my life, I think it might be a start.
The thing that I want to talk about on my first time is.... Movies. I am of the firm mind that there is something magical about movies. There is something special about walking into a theater and smelling fresh popcorn and seeing these giant larger than life posters of these people that can transport you for two hours of your life and take you on a wonderful ride.
I recently saw a movie that brought it all back to me. A movie that made me remember why I fell in love with movies in the first place. The movie that I'm referring to is (500) days of summer. It is a movie right smack in the middle of all of these million dollar summer blockbusters that make you realize that there are actually writers and directors that do care about telling a personal and intimate story about something that really means something. And thank god for that because who are we as a society when the things we want to see are these crazy slasher flicks, hugh special effects driven, and mind numbing comedies. I don't know maybe it's all in my head, what do you think
