Second blog of the day

Nov 21, 2004

The first blog ended up being way too personal, so I?ve saved it, doubt you?ll ever see it. I know the trend in this country right now is to tell everyone everything about yourself. If that?s what you want to do, fine, but as for me, somethings are private. Somethings are just yours, you don?t have to share them, and some things just shouldn?t be shared, because no matter how understanding the listener is, they will never understand how precious, or how painful, the topic is. Ah, well.
Why so glum? Well, I?m working at nearly 8:30 on a Sunday. Seems like the work should be done by now, or should be able to wait until Monday. I did a page today. I owe myself four more. I may not get them, but I?m going to try. The only true failure is never to try.
Admittedly I have taken time off today. Jonathon and I had lovely morning. It?s a kid free weekend so we took advantage of it. Though, the movie that we and our friend Richard saw tonight was very kid friendly. We saw the Incrediblies. It was wonderful. We all sat in our chairs as the credits rolled and talked about seeing it again. I can?t remember the last movie I watched that I wanted to see a second time before the credits stopped rolling. Trintiy had seen the movie with her father, and hadn?t been as impressed. She said, she got a headache during it. Turned out she was getting sick, lost a day and half of school. We?ll see if she wants to give it another try later on.
The Incrediblies is a good family film, though maybe a little intense for toddlers. You know your toddler better than I do. Trinity would have been fine with it at two or three. Great date movie. Fun, upbeat, very feel good. You?d come out of the movie feeling like you had things to talk about and the evening was still young. For those of us who are dating your spouses, someone who had been married awhile helped write, or inspire parts of this film. You will get the jokes that the singles will not get. I don?t want to give anything away, but you?ll know the scenes I mean when you see it. Some of the best real kid lines I?ve heard in awhile came out of these super kids mouths. Funny how a dose of fantasy can free you to be more ?real? sometimes.
So it?s not like I slaved all day, and only got a page. I just quite earlier so I could go play. But if you play earlier in the day, you work later. Play now, pay later. But I?m glad that I played. My mood needed a lift. I?m wearing one of my new favorite t-shirts, bright red lettering, ?If I wanted your opinion, I?d read your intrails.? Gotta love it.
Breaking Benjamin?s WE?RE NOT ALONE album is on the player. Pipin is sitting in my lap, yes the fifty pound puppy , is in my lap. Jonathon?s got pictures of it, though I don?t think they?re up on the blog yet. Pipin has now let me know that I?m being too sedatary for him, he?s at the door asking me to use my oposable thumb to let him go down and play with the other dogs. They are keeping Jonathon and Richard company downstairs while they do something with the specila HALO 2 disc. I?ll let him go, so I can stop having to police him and concentrate on the typing. Busy, busy puppy.
