Childish things I shall sometimes do.

I've been a movie slut lately. All I seem to want to do is watch movies. Just this weekend alone I watched 2 in theaters: "Eagle Eye"(which i happened to enjoy thank you everyone on Rottentomatos.com. ) and "Ghost Town" )which i was surprised to find myself LoL-ing along side my dear friends Eric and Michelle. ) and i then watched 3 rented ones. "August"(don't waste your time.) , "Smart People (eh, it was ok) and "Vantage Point" ( I should have listened to my friends)

I sent all day Saturday with Eric and Michelle. I realized I missed them and that simply walking around downtown B-bank just talking is fun and relaxing.

I think as we get older there's something in society telling us we have to act adult; openly doing childish things is mocked and laughed at. I was standing in line at ikea to buy an aloa vera plant after unsuccessfully finding a bed frame, and i turned to Michelle and asked what i should name the plant and a guy in the next beside us laughed at me. And i'm certain he was laughing at me because i asked, "I"m sorry, are you laughing at me?"and he responded " yeah, why the hell would you name a plant? It's a plant."

me - "yes that lives, grows and breaths same as you and I. Why did you're mother( assuming you are infact human) name you?"

Him - " ecxactly, i'm human and she loves me."

Me- " and i love this plant, which i shall nnnaamammmeee...."

Michelle - "Scott his name, i think, is Scott. He looks like a Scott"

Me- "Yes he does, doesn't he? Scott meet Jackass, Jackass this is my plant Scott, he's not pleased to meet you."

and then turned, paid and took Scott to my car. On the way out the cashier, Vanessa said "Goodbye Scott, hope you like your new home" and made a face at Jackass.

That story Illustrates why i love living in this massive, mixed up, overwhelming, darkenly beautiful city that is La.

Yes, there are jackass like the one in ikea, but where there is darkness, light is near. Where evil is goodness can always be found, for everything must have a balance.

I think everyone should embrace there inner child at least twice a day, weather it be dancing in the car to the radio, eating candy once in a while, sitting in the grass for lunch, jump rope, find animals in the clouds, or naming your new plant. Just do it. Laugh a little.

Have a childish day, it'll keep you young.

Life's little moments of brillance

The following is an AIM conversation with my best guy friend Vince (http://twitter.com/Vincent86 ), who just so happens to live nearly 3,000 miles away. But we make it a point to talk almost everyday. and sometimes amazingness happens.
Pink = Me

I sent you my address right?

yes sir

ok, I don't know why but I couldn't remember

it's ok. I have those moments all the time

I guess we all do

i hope so, then again i've always been different

1:30 PM

well its good to see that two different people have some of the same tendencies

good point.

wait
are you saying all the different people in the world are the same?

no

.....I don't think so

aw man what did we just discover?

maybe being forgetful is more of a general human trait, and it doesn't matter who you are it happens.

1:40 PM

you'll always be different and your own person in my eyes

maybe no one is actually different from any in the rest of the world, but simply surround by all those that are different from them but the same as the people around themselves, except that one person that's different

think about that

1:50 PM

I think my mind has just been blown

i tend to have that effect on people

I'd say so

i dont even know where this conversation can go from here, but i do know i want it emailed to me when we are done

I think that can be arranged

The conversation then extended to Twitter:

Who said it?

"I never dared to be radical when young
For fear it would make me conservative when old."
