By morning, you'll be gone...

I watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind" the other day.
I have seen it before and I remember loving it, so much so that I bought the DVD.

So the other day I was bored and in the mood to watch a movie, so I rooted around my DVD collection and picked out this movie.
And this time... It really struck me.
It is sooo amazing.
It's one of those movies that make you think. Here is a description:

(Joel is played by Jim Carrey and Clem is played by Kate Winslet)

A man, Joel Barish, heartbroken that his girlfriend Clementine underwent a procedure to erase him from her memory, he decides to do the same. However, as he watches his memories of her fade away, he realizes that he still loves her... but it may be too late to correct his mistake.

It makes me wonder...
If you fell out of love with someone, how far would you go to to start over?

Some of my favorite quotes:

Clementine: You know me, I'm impulsive.
Joel: That's what I love about you.

Joel: I can't see anything that I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.
Joel: Okay.
Clementine: [pauses] Okay.

[Joel calls Clem on the telephone]
Clementine: What took you so long?
Joel: I just walked in.
Clementine: Do you miss me?
Joel: Oddly enough, I do!
Clementine: You said "I do" - I guess that means we're married!
Joel: I guess so!
This movie has made it to the list of my favorite movies.
*Side note* See This Movie!!

Just sing the saddest song for me, revive me

I don't know why but for some reason, I have felt angsty all day...
And for the most part the day was uneventful...
I have felt restless all day, and of course I had absolutely nowhere to be.
The weather was rainy (Which is my favorite)
But I just wanted to be around another human who I like, I didn't even need to talk.
And I found myself with nowhere to really turn.
In my attempt to find another I called my friend and basically invited myself over
(with permission)
I walked in on tension and then felt bad for intruding...
So I excused myself and drove around for about an hour.
I then called another friend, who I discovered, was having some of her own drama.
I felt crazy alone.
(not even a Peppermint hot Coco could mend my mood)
I eventually landed in Barnes and Noble, read a book and then came home to write this.
Now I am currently listening to Say Anything's "I used to have a heart."
There is a part in the song that stuck out to me and I feel like it's really fitting for how I feel at the moment:

All I want to do is be mended by you
I don't want to be confused, I just want to find you
All I want to kill is that which keeps me ill
Underwhelmed and unfulfilled

That's me in a nutshell today.
That expresses me more then all the words I could type here.
I feel rejected and let down by life today...
I think I'm being a tad dramatic...
I'm going to stop writing now...

When I took down my defenses for the first time there was something in me...

I have been neglecting my juggling lately...
That kind of makes me sad, I really love juggling.
So I decided I'm going to start practicing again.
Yay.
So I'm going to make a small list here of my Juggling goals:
1. Juggling 2 Diabolo's
2. 2 ball columns
3. Learn contact juggling.
4. Learn more Diabolo tricks (ie. magic knot, cats cradle etc.)
5. Also doing tricks on the Rola Bola
I think this is a good place to start off.
Hopefully I will see an improvement soon.
In other News
I saw the Neon Tree's at Webster Hall the other night with my friend Mira....
Twas Amazing!
I kinda didn't know what to expect, the crowd was filled with upper east side trust fund baby's, which would have been fine if they didn't think that just because they paid for the ticket to the show that they now owned the venue.
But.. you have to pick your battle's.
and that was not one that I wanted to waist my brain cells over.
^_^
Despite that...
The show was great.
The Neon tree's brought it, and when I say brought it, they rocked so hard the walls and the floors shook with envy.
I will def be seeing them again live.
Here is a video of their latest single "1983" for your enjoyment:
(I love all the 80's references)

Any who on the more mundane side of life...
I need to cut my hair...
*Side Note* Me thinks it might be time to dye my hair back to normal... What do you think?

The suns in my heart and I'm ready for love...

I am huge fan of 1960's/50's movies...
I am also a fan of rain.
There is only one movie that combines the two.
And that movie is....
Singing in the Rain.
It's a Classic and one of my favorite's.
Even nowadays if someone says Singing in the Rain, you know what they are talking about.
Something about movies in that time is magical.
The women oozed feminine grace and the men were completely charming.
It makes me swoon.
Haha
My favorite scene (which is probably everyone else's favorite) has to be this one:
It's so amazing!
I love the rain!
One of my favorite things to do is to run around in the rain.
Especially when it's warm out and the rain is cool and falling heavy.
I can't wait for the summer, so I can run around in the rain again.
Yay
*Side Note* I'm watching Bend it like Beckham ^_^

Viva La Crepe!

If I had to pick a battle cry it would be "Viva La Crepe!!"
I don't know if you are aware of this little known fact but I am a huge supporter of Crepe's Especially one's smothered in the deliciousness that is Nutella.
In order to support my cause, I took a little trip to Viva La Crepe, a crepery on university plaza in NYC.
So here is a short video of me watching the... Creper? aka guy making the crepe.

dum spiro spero (while I breathe, I hope)

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
I feel like that... I feel restless
I am getting this nagging feeling that I usually get before I quit a job...
I am trying to figure out what I really want...
I'm going to try and work up the nerve and talk to my boss tomorrow.
Hopefully it goes over well...
I feel bad for leaving my boss but at some point
you have to do what your heart is telling and you.
And right now my heart is screaming at the top of it's lungs.
I have to do what is best for me and I think what is best for me is to move on.
I want to go back to school get a new job and kinda start fresh.
I suppose every one's kinda feeling that way right now though.
New year and all.
I just don't want to look back and think "Why did I waste my time with that?"
I am really excited for the changes I feel that are headings in my direction.
*Fingers crossed*
I know in my heart that this is the right choice for me..
