The Things I Remember Most

It's Monday night, I'm in one of the greatest cities in the world and I'm here in my room watching She's All That!  This is no lie folks, but the thing is that I am totally okay with that.  I'm so happy that I picked this of all movies to watch on Netflix.  Talk about your totally corny high school movies from the 90's.  I mean what a great time for movies if you love corny high school movies.  And can I just say that Freddy Prinze Jr. was the king of the 90's. (Where have you gone to Freddy?) 

So I went to the movies with my sister and saw this movie.  I can't believe that I can remember that, but I can never remember where I put my keys or my hair pick.  But I do, and I know that both me and my sister loved and still love this movie.  There is so much of my movie or T.V. taste that I get from my sister and in no way is that disappointing to me.  I mean when you grow up in a household where you have to watch Grease, Dirty Dancing, or Ghost any and every time it's on T.V. no matter what because your older sister loves these movies you become connected to the cornier things in movies and T.V.  

So thank you very much Tiffany.  But really this movie made me think about something in the realm of how important movies are to me.  I'm very forgetful.  I can't remember where I put my keys most of the time, and people's birthdays, I'm the absolute worst.  I really hate that about myself by the way, because sometimes it seem like I don't care at all.  When really that's not even the case.  Birthdays are just birthdays to me, hell I don't even really care that much for my own.  But in all honesty I can almost remember every single movie that I saw with somebody else.   It's the weirdest thing and I just realized it just a couple of years ago but it's true.  Crazy as it sounds those are the things I hold near and dear to my heart.

And I can give you so many examples of this and I guess that is really why I'm writing this.  Sort of a thank you or a love letter to all of those that have watched a movie with me.  It may have just seemed like some random thing that happened but it meant much more than that to me.  So here are just a few and I know there are many more and know that I didn't forget any of you.

Edmond Hooks- Me and you cut class our senior year to watch The Matrix Reloaded, such a great day.  Cooper Hagedorn- Really there are too many to even name, but the best day was when we went and saw four in one day, three of them together in college.  Gone Baby Gone, Into the Wild, and The Assassination of Jesse James. Tiffany Ponder- Another one I saw with you that was just fantastic, Clueless, I mean really as if.  Samantha Morgan- It was a Sunday and I was frightfully nervous and we went to see The Muppets.  Great movie, made me feel like a kid again.  Brian & Jamie Neivar- The time we went to Harkins and watch Cowboys and Aliens.  I really do love that movie and even more so because I saw it with you guys.  Chris Ponder- I was in Junior High and my dad took me to see He Got Game.  To this day it's gotta be in my top five.  It had such adult stuff in it, but my dad trusted me to watch it and that I could handle it. Bryan Ozuna- I especially remember when we went and saw The Town.  And not just because I love Ben Affleck, but because of the awesome reference to the TV show Bones in the movie that we always laugh about.  Mary Hebert- My favorite was when we went to see The Wedding Date.  I was not to happy about going to watch this movie, but now every time it's on TV I'll stop to watch it.  Don Powers- Me and you got up on my birthday and went and watched Juno.  As birthdays go for me that was a pretty good one.  Drew & Jenna Hooper- It is always such a joy for me when I get to go to the movies with you guys, but I remember one of the movies that effected me the most was when we went and saw Bully together.  Mike Wilkinson-  We've gone to so many movies together and snuck into quite a few.  There was the day Me, You, and Oz went and saw three together, but the only one I really want to mention is The Debt

There are so many more that I haven't even mentioned and like I said it's not because I don't remember, it's mainly because I'll be writing for the rest of the night.  I just wanted to write this and let you know what it's all meant to me.  I love you all and goodnight or good morning or good afternoon just depending on when you read this.
