Iron Man

I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie, but I loved it. Robert Downey Jr was terrific! Not so sure about Gweneth Paltrow though.

Can't wait for the second part! Hope they maintain a similar standard.

How Much?

We all have a certain number of nerves and some people manage to work your last one. My question is, how much is too much? How much can you tolerate - whether it be a person, a job, a situation you're dealing with? And has your tolerance level changed over the years?

Personally, I used to put up with so much. No clue how I did it. Eventually, I guess I realized how rare a commodity time is. Hence, my tolerance took a steep drop. Yet, I wonder sometimes, has it gone too far? How do you know when your tolerance level is too low and impractical?

Goggles!

Throughout life, we meet many different types of people. Some who leave absolutely no mark, some who entertain us for a while, and some who leave ever lasting impressions. Regardless of the circumstances, it is important to meet all those different types as they help mold your outlook towards life and make you appreciate the good people in your life even more.

Thing is, there are many times where we let our emotions and fears override everything else. Don't get me wrong, I'm an advocate of emotion. Without it, not much differentiates us from a rock on the street. Yet, we need to develop over time some sensor that enables us to control that emotion enough so that it doesn't rule our life. Why? Because emotions have a way of blinding our vision and making us take decisions that we may regret later on when the emotions have cooled off or subsided.

That said, it's always easier said than done. It just takes time and experience to eventually teach us the hard way. For me, sometimes it's a matter of weighing things out and some people are just not worth losing over emotions that we can't control.

Are You in Denial?

A few weeks ago I bumped into an old schoolmate I hadn't seen in ages. Stopped to say hello and how long it's been when she told me, "I know all about you!!" That caught me off guard.

Her: "You have a blog, don't you?"
Me: "No!"

I have no idea why I said no! It was an automatic and instant response.

She then explained how she came to that conclusion, all of which made perfect sense! But by then, I felt stupid. I couldn't go back and say, "Yeah, it's me. I lied." I had to continue denying it, all the while thinking "why?!" It's not like I write about anything personal or about anything I would mind others knowing about.

So, this goes out to you, if you're reading. Yes, it's me! And yes, everything you said and your conclusions were right on! :)

Missed Me?

Don't ask where I've been for the past two months.. cuz I wouldn't know where to begin to be honest. Am I back again? Probably not. Just wanted to pop by to say hi and that I'll try my best to start writing again. No promises though :)

I'm currently in Kuwait & enjoying my time catching up with some friends. To those girls I've seen, it's been WONDERFUL seeing you! You're simply amazing.

A "GIANT" Victory

One Day

I got this forward from a friend today.. I thought it was hilarious.. so here goes:

----------------------------
One day, long, long ago,
there was this woman who surprisingly,
did not whine, nag, or bitch....



But this was a long time ago.....
and it was just that ONE day.

The End..

Heath Ledger!

28 year old actor, Heath Ledger, was found dead in his New York apartment yesterday afternoon. There has been no determination of the cause of his death, however, perscription and sleeping pills were found on the scene.

It's nothing new for young actors/actresses to be found dead, but this one totally surprised me!

The Battle!

It's that time of year again: SUPERBOWL!

My Indianapolis Colts unfortunately didn't make it to the AFC Championship Title Game. Peyton Manning once again choked against the Chargers! But, the Manning household still has something to celebrate. While Peyton brought home the trophy last year, it's his younger brother Eli who's heading to the Superbowl this year!

Eli Manning's NY Giants upset the Green Bay Packers last night, winning the NFC Title and earning their ticket to the Bowl. While I normally root for the AFC team, this year is different.

Brady just seems to have it all. He's won 3 Superbowls, 2 Superbowl MVP awards, broke several records, AND has had a perfect season so far! To top it off, he used to date Bridget Moynahan and is with Gisele now! Come on, no guy should have that much luck!

GO GIANTS!

Serenity

It's amazing how one person can make such a big difference in your life. You wake up one day to find that all the pieces somehow fit together. Suddenly, it doesn't matter what life has to offer because you have something that no one can take away from you.

Thank you for being all that you are.
