Like every holiday from now on, Christmas was uneventful and dreary. I don't have anything to say about it, so I guess I won't say anything at all.
On a side note, I saw a pretty good movie today: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It's a great love story between a boy who grows young and a girl who's flaw is her beauty. I had no idea that it was based off a book, but when I first saw the trailer, I remarked that it was a really original idea. The story was refreshing but also hard to believe. Aside from the fact that the dude grows backwards, the romance between the two of them is pretty farfetched. Beautiful girls don't fall for old dudes. Wise men don't fall more immature chicks. Also, there never seemed to be any conflict in their lives. Things were pretty much smooth sailing and they were never in want of money. Oh well whatever. In any case, it's a sweet tale of unconditional love. Two people love each other in spite of age, beauty, wisdom, circumstance. They simply cared for each other and wanted to be together no matter what. It is good to know that others share the notion that you can love someone despite their set-backs. I believe that if you love someone-- truly and absolutely love someone-- you will overlook flaws and stay in love no matter what. In fact, you learn to love the flaws. One of the best lines in the movie really stuck in my head. After I heard it, I was like whoa. I don't know it verbatim, but it went a little something like this:
That's not the exact line, but it really touched me. It kind of made me understand death a little better(at least accept it). Not just death, but loss. I was sitting thinking "man, this is deep shit. And it's so true! You never appreciate anyone until they're gone." It's like cliche, but it makes sense. The only sad part about it is once you appreciate them, it's too late to do anything about it. You can't even let the person know. So I guess you have to tell them while you still can.
I appreciate all my readers... all 3 of you...
When I grow old
When I am gray and wrinkled
And the hair on my head is sprinkled
Will you still be at my side?
After the children grow to parents
And we've dealt with all the nonsense
Will our love be just as wide?
As my mind starts to slip
And I come to the end my trip
Will you come along for the ride?
Once I've seen my last sunset
You will remain the best one yet
Will you cry for me after I've died?
