Guide to changing your own life: Realize it’s possible, instead of telling yourself why you can’t.

Become aware of your self-talk. Squash negative thoughts like a bug. Replace them with positive thoughts.

Love what you have already. Be grateful for your life, your gifts, and other people. Every day.

Focus on what you have, not on what you haven’t. Don’t compare yourself to others. But be inspired by them.

Accept criticism with grace. But ignore the naysayers. See bad things as a blessing in disguise. See failure as a stepping stone to success.

Surround yourself by those who are positive. Complain less smile more. Image that you are already positive. Then become that person in your next act

No I can't hide from myself...I have tried and I always come to the same conclusion...apparently I'm a really good tracker because I find myself every time.

"a pharmaceutical laced touch to combat the unfriendly touch of time...and memories."

I rarely feel lost, more like misplaced in familiar surroundings.  Like a smile on a tear stained face.  I always found that disturbing.  Or I could be missing, without a trace. Running from the hand I'm holding.  I rarely feel lost.  But sometimes, I wish I was escaping the thoughts in my head that need erasing.  Or it could be that I'm not lost at all, it's just that I haven't been found yet.


Your words are like scalpels, cutting through the pristine to expose the the torment that lies just below the skin...thank you for sharing.

I believe that we are supposed to remember the joy of youth and embrace life with the same fervor.  I hope that the lessons of youth have taught us which path to take.  I pray that the dreams of youth continue to fuel the people we have become.  I believe that acting like children is never the problem.  I believe that acting childish is.


Your words, carefully crafted as they are, continue to open my eyes to new perspectives through your perceptions.


My dark and stormy night was, an insanely humid day, when others lost faith and trust in the man I was and for the first time I saw the sickened creature hiding behind the facade of my creation.


..What do I know of Life?
Life is...
just, unjust, difficult and easy
fair, unfair, spiteful and forgiving
too long, too short, finished or unfinished
A collection of moments strung together in a fragile mosaic
the past we reflect on, the present that passes by
where you started and where you end up
the dreams we strive and hope
beautiful, ugly, joyous, tragic
Life is...
What do I know of Life.


I believe no memory good or bad is ever truly forgotten or erased.  To dwell on either is akin to swimming in the vastness of the ocean drowning in glory days or in moments of misery.  But every new experience whether good or bad keeps you moving, towards the shores of living


They could accomplish everything they have ever wanted to do and their life would never be complete. That is the curse of those that spend their time looking towards the heavens and not on the path at their feet.


I welcome those negative people with open arms.  If it wasn't for all the people who have told me what I couldn't do, then I wouldn't have tried so hard to prove them wrong.  And I wouldn't have known what I had been capable of all this time.


I am saddened by the gifts I'll never get to give to the person that "was not there"...and thank you for reminding me...that I am not the only one who feels this way

MOVIE REVIEWS 18

You know what has always bugged me?  Movie reviews that take a "I'm so much smarter than you" route.  Every movie review I have ever read takes this approach.  They sit there and with a fine tooth comb and condemn every aspect of the movie or they praise the intellectual aspects of this cinematic experience.

Me, I just want a simple review.  Did the movie achieve it's goal.  How was the acting?  Was the script/story any good.  Was the movie entertaining.  Add a positive comment.  Add a negative comment.  Finally make a simple scale and rate that movie accordingly.

It's not asking for much.

Reading a movie review shouldn't have to be a chore.

So let's make that scale

   1.  Punch me in the FACE, because that's gonna be better than this movie.
   2.  I will never watch the movie again
   3.  Did I actually pay to see this?
   4.  I wish I saw it on cable.
   5.  I'll only watch it if its free on cable.
   6.  Can't find the remote...so I guess I'll watch this
   7.  This is better then the other stuff that's on.
   8.  I will watch the movie again
   9.  I CAN'T WAIT to watch the movie again
 10.  This movie WILL be owned, in any form because it's that damn good!!.

Now let's review some movies...


KNIGHT AND DAY
I went in expecting nothing.  I got a romantic comedy with tons of action.  It's like they wanted to make a movie like Jerry Mcguire and then give it Mission Impossible action.  Which it succeeds in doing.  It's not a great movie, but it's fun, sweet, funny and it doesn't leave you feeling like you wasted time or money.

The story is OK, the acting is average, the plot line is pretty standard and there are no "WOW" moments.  This is a movie that is carried entirely by the charm of of the characters played by Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise.

7/10


SPLICE
I have been itching to see this movie since I saw a trailer for it a year or so ago.  It looked like it was going to be a great sci-fi horror flick.

What I got was a decent Sci-fi movie, that I had already seen.  The special effects were good and so was the acting but the story wasn't solid and the whole movie predictable.  You could actually physically count all of the sci-fi cliches that were evident.  I was completely let down.

3/10


THE LAST AIRBENDER
For those who don't know, this was a cartoon on Nickelodean called Avatar:The Last Airbender, and it was very good.  On Nickelaodean the story had three seasons to tell the story of Aang, Katara, Sokka and Zuko.  Since each season had 20 or so episodes, this made for quite an epic series filled with interesting characters, places and events.  Each of these moments were integral to the story and the characters.  It helped move the story while showing charcter growth.  I am a big fan of the animated series.

However, when you try and squeeze 5 hours of animation (20 episodes) into a 1 hour and 43 minutes, you lose a lot of the things that made the series so special.  They don't have time to develop the emotions, you can't see the personal growth of the characters and it lost a lot of the innocence that really allowed you to connect with the story and the characters.

The special effects were amazing and the actors that were chosen for their specific roles were visually almost perfect.  (Although I did have a complaint with the actor who played Uncle Iroh but that's more of a visual problem, because the actor did a great job in portraying the caring uncle.)  But the story was rushed and felt choppy.  There was no charcter developement.  The whole movie felt forced.  This is a movie that could have greatly benefitted from the 150 minute time limit, but that is not the case.

4/10 and it really pains me to give it such a low rating.


THE TWILIGHT SAGA - ECLIPSE
OK. I have to admit of the three so far this movies pretty good.  Albeit the "does she or doesn't she" gets old pretty quick, this one actually kept my attention.  The story is pretty straight forward with no real surprises.  There are some action sequences, some foreshadowing, some teen romance, some verbal tete a tete and the gratuitous "funny" moments.  The special effects are quite stunning and again not over done.  Many of the characters finally get some back stories.  And for once, this didn't feel like a chapter.  It actually felt like a stand alone movie, and for the most part it is.  It actually does quite a good job of referencing a lot of information from the first two movies, without the need to see them, because the references themselves are self explanatory.

Overall I actually enjoyed this movie.

Now let's review some movies...



The Karate Kid (2010)

Let me start by saying I am a fan of all the KK movies. I am a child of the 80's so the original will have a special place in my memories, as do a lot of the iconic 80's films. But with all that said, the Original KK was predictable, the acting was weak, the story was the usual 80's coming of age storyline and the one endearing factor was Mr Miyagi.

The updated version holds true to the original story, where the there's a new kid getting bullied and has to learn to stand up for himself, with the help of a wise mentor.

The story was good, the acting average (although seeing Jackie Chan do something that required more acting and less action was a pleasant surprise) the plot predictable and the characters weren't always believable.

This version of the movie, does a better job at fleshing out the story, it also does a lot of subtle and wonderful homages to the original. If you're looking for academy award winning material, you won;t find it here. What you will find is a pleasant, inspirational and moral family movie.

7/10


Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time

The fact that this is based on a video game leaves me a little worried.  For some reason, when it comes to movies based on video games (with the exception of the Resident Evil movies) are always lacking in substance and story.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie.  It your usual summer blockbuster with lots of special effects and your all start cast.  But what I wasn't expecting was that it had a pretty decent story.  The story was pretty good, the acting was very good albeit they had a strong cast of very good actors, the storyline lends itself into making this a very a profitable and multimovie franchise and the special effects were amazing.

This is of course an action adventure movie, and in and of itself , doesn't have many surprises.  But it is a fun ride from beginning to end. 
7/10



Youth in Revolt

Although an entertaining film, I never know when or if I should ever take this movie seriously.  Micheal Cera does a wonderful job of playing dual roles in this movie, but even when he's being his "bad" self he's still endearing.

Like I said it is an enjoyable film, with a coherent storyline, decent plot, wonderful actors and believable (although slightly exaggerated) characters.  This movie does a great job of being both innocent and pompous with situations that are quite over the top, while being tongue in cheek during the same situations.

But I'm still not sure whether I actually liked the movie...and I'm not sure whether or not I will watch the movie again, but I was entertained...if not a little befuddled.

6/10


Iron Man 2

I wanted to love this movie.  I thoroughly enjoyed the first one and I love everything that Robert Downey Jr has been in. but I felt underwhelmed by Iron Man 2.  The special effects were amazing and the acting was above average.  But in the end I just didn't care.  I had no emotional investment in the battel between good and evil.  It didn't matter to me who would win the "epic" battle.

Although the 100 MPH banter between Pepper and Tony almost mad the movie for me...almost.

When super hero movies set the bar high for themselves, sometimes, they just don't reach that level again.  And in my humble opinion, Iron Man 2 fell just short of greatness.

MODEL PRISONER

My cage has no walls
no bars.
no windows
no doors.

But it is still a cage.

It is not made of iron
steel
glass
or wood.

But it is still a cage.

It has no visiting hours
no visitors.

But it is still a cage.

It has no bunk
sink
toilet.

But it is still a cage.

There are no guards
cell mates
wardens.

But it is still a cage.

There are no parole boards.

It has no early release for good behavior.

My cage has one captive
prisoner
inmate.

Just one.

Me.

And I am a model prisoner.
