…that I can remember. I’m sure there are more.
10.) “If I could measure the beauty of her eyes, I was born to look into them and know myself.” -Shakespeare in Love
9.) “The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.” -The Village
8.) “I loved people before and they went away, so a long time I made the decision I wasn’t going to need anyone anymore. I”ve wasted most of my life that way. And I know I’m late and I know I don’t deserve it. I need you. I love you.” -Heart and Souls
7.) “The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds and that’s what you’ve given me.” -The Notebook
6.) “I’d ask you about love, you’d probably quote me a sonnet. But you’ve never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn’t know what it’s like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything…” -Good Will Hunting
5.) “She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen” -Say Anything
4.) “I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”-When Harry Met Sally
3.) “I don’t think you’re an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother’s pretty interesting and you really are an appallingly bad public speaker and, um, you tend to let whatever’s in your head come out without much consideration for the consequences. I realize that when I met you at the turkey curry buffet that I was unforgivably rude and wearing a reindeer jumper that my mother had given me the day before. But the thing is, um, what I’m trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances… I like you. Very much… No, I like you very much. Just as you are.” -Bridget Jones’ Diary
2.) Look, I guarantee there will be tough times. I guarantee that at some point one or both of us is going to want out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know in my heart you are the one for me. – Runaway Bride
1.) “You make me want to be a better man.”-As Good As It Gets
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone.
I’m ashamed to say that back in 2003 I was mad at Natalie Mains for saying what she did. I was equally mad at Toby Keith for being stupid. I didn’t buy either album as I’m not much of a country music fan (of the two artists, I definately like the Dixie Chicks music better – I think it’s the fiddle I dig.) but I still had my opinion about their behavior. I favored Alan Jackson‘s approach – the more sentimental “we’re in this together” kind of song. I loved that Jackson won the CMA that year for Artist of the Year when he was up against both Keith and the Chicks.
I’m never going to be okay with war. I’m just not. Does that make me left-winged or right-winged? I don’t care. I’m sick of those labels, and I’m sick of what they stand for. And I love when the entertainment industry crossed into politics, because that seems to be the only genuine time everyone is willing to enter the dialog. The dialog we were all afraid to take part of from 2002-to present. The dialog that asks “Is war okay?” “Is it the only answer?” I like anyone who is willing to get in there and debate. Doesn’t matter what they believe (obviously, because I once posted I kinda love Fox News… which probably freaked some of you out.) But I also love Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann, because they are all talking about it. Keeping silent for all those years brought our fall. I love what all these people and organizations are doing to try and wake up our brains again.
Last night I was genuinely surprised when Not Ready to Make Nice won Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. That’s a long list, and I’m very happen for them. Not because I agree with their stance on the war (by the way, I do) but because the song… is perfection.
I love the video – it’s beautifully shot and wonderfully symbolic of what happened to the group. The song is vulnerable, reminding us that they are not just “mouthpieces” but human beings that paid a large price simply for having an opinion.
I hate what happened on 9/11. I hate that thousands lost their lives and I hate what’s it’s ultimately done to Iraq. To quote Derek Webb…”peace by way of war is like purity by way of fornication. It’s like telling someone murder is wrong by way of execution”.
What occured after September 11, 2001 was facinating to me. To see everyone bond together despite our differences…to see the surge of patriotism… to see us all work together in that time… well, it made me feel good about being an American. But it’s continued in a not-so-nice direction.
I used to think that 9/11 brought out the best in us. Now I’m not so sure.
I finally broke down and got myself cable tv. I decided to stop bothering my friends and save myself the $1.99 charges from iTunes. Yes, I’ve finally entered the 19th century, even if it is a little late.
So for the last few weeks I’ve been flipping through channels and I paused to watch Iron Chef America. And all I can say is – why did I wait so long to get cable?
Seriously, this show is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. From the stadium lights to the camaras on cranes to my delightful glee in seeing Ted Allen as a judge (Whee!) to watching Bobby Flay cook with chocolate (isn’t his thing BBQ?)… I’m in love.
But it’s the hilarious music and the “sports-like” commentary are truly what make me laugh. I mean, it’s a cooking show! And they are treating it like it’s the NBA finals! Alton Brown sends us off to commerical, while checking his computers screens as if checking statistics on the players. Come on, that is seriously funny. And when the “chairman” waves the proverbial flag to start the 60 minutes? I’m in stitches, cracking up all over the place. I could make fun of this show for the rest of my life and never tire of it.
It rocks my sauce. I love it.
“What department are you with?”
“Miracles.”
“You mean like seeing Jesus’ face in a tortilla?”
“No, that’s publicity.”
Love it.
Leave your politically correctness behind, and your offended sensibility at home, because I find this series ridiculously hilarious. But it’s not for the faint of heart.
God, Inc. Episode 1
There are five episodes total so far. Stephen Faulk (or stee, as many know him) is Pamela Ribon‘s husband. While he doesn’t appear until episode two, she mentioned these little jems on her website.
It will probably offend you a little. I still find them funny.
