"man, i want to blog..." said phil.

it's past my bedtime, i should be doing the reading i barely even started today, i haven't brushed my teeth, and i haven't changed into my pjs yet either. i actually have this urge to blog right now. i never put crap off just to blog. no wait, that was a lie.

i just came back from watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. after seeing the preview, i had already made up my mind that this movie was going to suck. i strongly felt that Jim Carrey was destined for comedy and comedy alone. and besides, the plot looked too messy and complicated and kind of typical and i didn't like any of the other actors/actresses. *shrug* jane yu told me to watch it while we stopped for McDonald's on the way up north. and just like everyone said, it was a good movie.

as i was watching the movie, i realized the people who made this movie purposely put and emphasized many scenes that concentrated on the "simple pleasures of life." almost instantaneously, i thought of Amelie. people like to be reminded of things that we take for granted. it like keeps us in check and stuff and encourages us to, you know, not take things for granted. but as i was thinking about it more, i was reminded that all of these pleasures come from God. our awesome creator made everything GOOD. when we see or hear the word, "pleasure," we usually think of food, sleep, sex, people, fun, food, sleep, etc.. but i find it amazing how there are SO many small things that are so pleasureable. ok phil, you already said that...what are trying to get at? well, after watching this movie and thinking about not taking alotta things for granted (such as your memories), i am once again reminded of how awesome and gracious our Lord is. even with a secular movie, i can still praise God.

Clementine needs Christ. so does Joel.

hmmm, i was going to blog about how i hate "very emotional" people and my weekend with chang and the gang (that rhymes), but my urge to blog has ceased. oh yeah, my weird dreams have ceased too!
