Men Who Stare at Goats

OK so I just got done watching the movie "Men Who Stare at Goats," and well lets just say its like Star Wars meets Delta Farce. In my opinion. I did learn, however, that 15% of new soldiers do not shoot to kill. Most aim high to purposely miss or pretend to be preoccupied with something else. In this movie they were totally obsessed with physic powers. Did you know there is such a thing as "cloud bursting?" Cloud Bursting- the ability to burst clouds up with your mind until the cloud has vanished. Now that's a skill we could all use. In this movie the army has a branch of "Jedi warriors." These Jedi's... "don't fight with weapons, but their minds." When I was watching this one part they were in Iraq and some Iraq people were driving a truck, that I happened to notice was a Chevy. So I guess even terrorists prefer Chevy's. One of my favorite quotes from this movie was..."I was on a mission, even if I didn't know what that mission was, I could hear that little voice in my head again...he was screaming like a girl." ha ha. Then of course all of this Jedi training took place at Fort Brag, NC. ha ha. Now don't hate I am from NC. Ah. Also another power I wish to obtain after this movie would be.... the ability to stop a goats heart. Now that could come in handy. If you was ever being chased by a mad goat. The one insightful quote was.."Gentleness is the strength." Even in the most stupid movies you can find a light of inspiration. So my final thing I would like to say is this...."George Clonney I am your Father."

a little about me...

ok. So a little about me. Wow. I hope you have the time to read this. lol. Ok so the day before I was supposed to graduate my very best friend was killed in a car accident. He was also supposed to sit beside me at gradutation. It liked to have killed me to sit beside that empty chair. This was supposed to be one of the happiest memories for someone, which turned out to be my saddest.
Then shortly after graduation I became pregnant. then at 16 weeks I went to a normal check up and found out I lost my baby. I had no cramps, no bleeding, nothing. The next day I had to go in and have a DNC. I was so depressed for a log time. It out a big strain on my relationship with my boyfriend. Now its been almost a year since all of that happened, and I am doing ok. I keep my faith in the Lord. He knows whats best. This past Mother's Day was really hard but I made it through. My boyfriend has been the best support ever!!!! Our 2 year annivarsary is coming uo on June 5th.
We have been through so much in 2 years that I know we can make it through it all. When we first started dating our relationship was tested because he is hispanic, and I am white. Well I come from a southern tradtional family, so they didn't really aprove. I told them though I love him and not about to give up on a relationship with him. It didn' go over every well, but after a few months they all accepted him. Now I believe they like him more than me. haha.
Life is full of hardships. We all handle them differently. In the end though we can make it through. You just have to keep faith. My life is turning around and for the better. Next monday I start class for Pharmacy tech. I will be done with that in sept. So you can always have a happy ending, even though this is no where near the end, but you know what I mean.
Have you had any hardships that were really hard? Or are you still facing them? Let me know how you made it through or are making it through. Maybe you can help someone else in a similar situation.

Dream vs. Reality

I heard a faint scream. I turn. Jake was laying on the floor with a knife in his heart. Horrified I look around and see Jake's girlfriend, Stacie, in the corner rocking back and forth. I run for the phone, but before I could grab it, Stacie jumps up, and knocks it to the floor breaking it. I look at her with horror struck eyes, not knowing what to do or say. I begin to look around the room looking for anything to use as a weapon to be able to escape. On the coffee table, which was 10 feet away, I saw a glass flower vase I could smash over her head. I hope I can out run her and not come to such madness. Even a murderer I would have a hard time to harm. I am not a voilent person. Stacie continues to stare at me with a calm face.

"I had to. they was going to kill him either way, but they planned on torturing him," she says as if she is talking about the weather. Stilll shocked I had no words. Of course they planned on killing us all, but we still had good chances of getting out of this! How could she? Her own boyfriend?! Thats when I seen it. The small black brand on the back of her wrist. Now all I knew was I had to run.











Ok back to reality:



Yes, that was my dream last night. I don't know who Jake and Stacie are, and certainly don't know who was after us. I also wonder what the brand on the back of Stacie's wrist meant? Sometimes don't you wish you just stay in dreamland? Its so much more interesting!!! Then you have to wake up and realize you are late to work. Then all you want to do is curl up in your covers and hide from the reality of the world and come out and face it when you are ready! To bad life doesn't work that way. Now I can't wait to go to sleep tonight to maybe go back to where I was about to run, for what reason I do not know. My dreams would make great books and movies. In my opinion anyway. What's your opinion? Do you have dreams like this? Or more interesting ones? Let me know maybe we can out them all together and make the best book and/or movie ever!!! Watch out Steven Spielberg...here we come!!!!!
