yesterday i was watchin a movie b4 i went to work....."as good as it gets". (its now one of my favs) i have seen this movie quite a few times and it wasnt until yesterday that i found some of the lines in it striking........for example: jack nicholsons character rushes into his psychiatrists' office demanding help, when the doc refuses to help him b/c he didnt have an appt. jack walks out into the waiting room and says to everyone waiting......."what if this is as good as it gets?" so what IF this is as good as it gets? r u happy about that? satisfied with ur life and job? r u completely content with the way things r for u? it had me thinkin.....course i like to reflect on my life periodically and "clean house" if need b or at the very least "tweak" things that i dont like goin on. :) later in the movie, jack and 2 other characters r on a road trip to boston when one of them starts telling their "sob story".....jack pipes up during the story and says that the character doesnt have a sob story, its a matter of being pissed that someone other than urself has it better than u! doesnt that imply that i (or anyone else) would b jealous? do i get perturbed when i hear stories of ppl being handed shit on a silver platter, ofcourse. but theres an extreme difference between me and them---i know the meaning of hard work, appreciation and the value of a dollar. do i get pissed when the undeserving get a break, ofcourse. but i am not jealous in the sense that i want their life, maybe just their "good luck" ;) .....anyhoo, i think y'all should watch this movie, has great things to think about.

Well Tasha is't good to see the Rat Pack is alive and well. Sorry I haven't been around a lot, but between working in different states and well of course my beloved drinking...lol...I've been a little busy. I am however a little salty that I didn't get a date, but hey what can I expect. The hot girls always go quickly. Besides that life is well...as for most of us Gemini's chaotic. Or at least that's true according to the book I read today. I really just wanted to say "What's up?" and say congrats on finding a little piece of happiness that at least I hope you've found. Me I'm still in the market for a good girl that I can corrupt...just kidding. I'm getting to old for all that...24. Time's just ticking away. I'm starting to think that perhaps it's a good thing that I don't have someone close to me. You know the old saying, you hurt the ones you love...or something like that. I figure now if I'm flying solo, I can only hurt the one that deserves it....me. Anywho...I just wanted to say what's up and no I'm not dead...yet. I'm working on that for all that wishes that. But Tasha I do hope I get to talk to you again, because you were the only person that made me actually think in a long time, and for that I can only that you.

P.S. It really was a good movie.
