This will be quick, as it is past my bedtime. But, I figured the total radomness shouldn't be left alone for too long or else my creative mind of its own will run off and then we will all be in trouble. I am reminded of my old job, back in the day shortly after I got home from my mission I would go on a walk each morning with a couple of the girls I worked with. They would always ask me what new story I had come up with or something to entertain them on the walk. It is not hard for me to come up with random things to say or stories to share. This is actually where Changing Tyde kind of took off. The initial idea has been LONG in the process, but coming up with Jason and Kyla really came about on those walks. I remember my friend, Lisa, would laugh at some random comment and say something like "I would love to spend 5 minutes in your pretty little head" to which I would respond with something like "Oh no, that's dangerous. I don't even allow myself in my head without securely tying a rope to the outside world so I don't get lost." now you are probably thinking I am strange, but I just thought about that and thought I'd share. Its late, and I really should be asleep.
I watched Terminator: Salvation this weekend because I heard it was good. I don't think I have ever seen an entire Terminator movie until today, so I probably didn't get as much out of it as I could have, but I think the basic plot was Man vs. Machine, machine super mean and looks like man, big fight, lots of guns and shooting. Any way, the two main guys in it are Christian Bale, and Sam Worthington. My BFF Fort LOVES Christian Bale, like she LOVES him. He is her favorite actor and has been since Newsies, and probably will be forever. I realized after watching it that I have seen 3 Sam Worthington movies in the last week (Terminator: Salvation, Avatar, and Clash of the Titans), which made me laugh. I should have just watched them all on the same day and made a marathon out of it. But I didn't. Any way, the point of talking about actors. I realized that Sam Worthington has dark hair and crisp ocean blue eyes...remind us of anyone? Plus he's got the accent that sounds good, but he can also pull off an American accent, which is quite impressive. So, it is further proof to me that Jason could actually exist, even though he really doesn't-and I'm okay with that.
Moving on...I went to church today and TD gave a talk. It was really quite impressive. He talked a lot about serving other people and how today is the only April 25th, 2010 we will ever have, and we have the opportunity to make someones day that day. Isn't that one of the greatest blessings ever. I guess you kind of have to know him to understand his enthusiasm. I will say this, TD is one of the most considerate people I have ever met. I asked him once what the top 5 things everyone should know about him where. Do you know what #1 was? That he loves helping people have a great day. Even if its someone he doesn't know, he loves to make people happy. He is always all smiles and has something positive to say. You would never know it if you talked to him, but he actually lost his brother about a month ago in a car accident, I saw him a few days after and asked how he was doing, he had a smile on his face and told me about how he had cheered up one of our mutual friends who I knew had been struggling. People aren't usually like that, you know? They usually tend to focus on themselves, especially after something really sad like losing your brother who happens to be your best friend. I have learned a thing or two about optimism from him.
School is out for the summer, hallelujah! Not that I was in real school, but summer always brings with it good times and awesome memories. I have some great goals in place for this summer and will update you as I set out on grand new adventures!!
TD sounds amazing. I wouldn't be smiling if my brother died. Not for a long time. I think it's so great that you have such a creative brain. I wish I did...
