Happy Accidents

I had the immense pleasure of seeing Happy Accidents this week. It was literally an accident that I even watched the movie. Channel surfing at it's best I noticed a very skinny looking Vincent D'onofrio, who I love love, and Marisa Tomei, who I also love. And so began my love affair with this very strange love story.

Think Terminator but without the actual terminator. That movie is one of my favorites,because of the love story, not so much about the whole future thing. He traveled all those years because he was in love with Sarah Connor. How romantic-ish.

Well that's kind of what this movie is about, except more quirky and funny, then action/sci-fi and naked Arnold.

Ruby(tomei) starts a relationship with Sam(D'onofrio) who is not like most men she has dated. He's afraid of little dogs, listens to weird music, and seems to be amazed by those small things in life that we take for granted. The smell of flowers, how fresh the air is, the sounds of things he has never heard.

But she's neurotic because of past relationships, and well he's from "IOWA" or so that is what he tells her. To make a long and interesting story short, after a few inconsistency in his story, and a name and drawing of some women in his notebook, Ruby becomes suspicious of who Sam really is, and when she asks him what she wasn't expecting was for him to tell her he is from...The future...The distant future, and that he has returned to love the woman(her) whose face from a photograph saved his life.

Romantic.

The movie is so bizarre that I was completely in love with it.My favorite part was when she suggest that he see her therapist when he keeps going on and on about being from the future. So he goes and then later on they have this huge argument because he says something like "I don't think I am the one who needs to see a therapist." Marisa Tomei is amazing as she says "What..the...fuck...did....you...just...say...to...me". It was hilarious, and now I have to say that in any argument that I get it in. Classic.

By the end of it your like is he from the future or f-cking crazy, I didn't even care I was so engrossed by the whole thing, and in love with Vincent's character I was like I'd date him even with the semi-craziness. The ending is really good, but because I am not a spoiler whore(though I wish I could be) I'll save it, just in case anyone rents it or something.

Unfortunately this wasn't meant to be a movie post, I save that for the professionals, I am clearly an amateur at this, but while I was watching the delightful movie I was like "wouldn't that be the perfect love story, why can't my nonexistent soulmate(which I still am kind wishy washy on) be from the future."

Damn the life of a dreamer.

The life of a dreamer can be very frustrating, and in all respect a great let down.

To say I live in my dreams would be the understatement of the year. I rest in them, I live for them, I roll all up in them, and am sometimes very hesitant to take a step back from them. I like to believe in the "what if's" of life, because having sole faith in reality of it can be a bummer.

I feel like I hold back on so many things in life not only because of fear, but because I am expecting something more. I'm expecting those quirky, is this possible things, heart fluttering, not so ordinary moments. Sure not as bizarre(though very interesting) as a time traveler, but something that reminds me of my own belief that yeah life and people can be very commonplace, but there has got to be so unique and refreshing that makes it wonderful. There just has to be. Right?

I feel the life of a dreamer isn't truly complete or fufilling unless we have those moments that holds that belief up. Unless we have those moments that every so often remind us of the beauty, mystery, complexity, spontaneity of life and the people who inhabit it.

I hope those are the moments that fill my life, even if it isn't exactly a time traveler who resembles Vincent D'onofrio. We can dream can't we.

School starts in a couple of weeks, and I am very nervous. Mike wants to know what classes I am taking so he can take one with me, minus all the bad talking I do about him, I'd rather have him in a class with me than anyone else at this time.

My nerves have made it very difficult to sleep, which I am use to, but wish wouldn't occur. I want this year to be a good one.

Tomorrow is movie day with the senior citizens and I'm not looking forward to it, because I am not sure if they will like the movie. They are very hard to please and am expecting someone to say "instead of watching it, can you just summarize it" I might just die. My mom agrees with kbryna that I should play Pirates of the Caribbean. Might be more interesting then Somethings Gotta Give. Who knows.

What I am excited about are; the new leggings I bought because they are amazing. and shamelessly the impending Flavor of Love 2 premiere and Sissy Spacek's singer daughter, Schuyler Fisk , who I remember being the very odd looking member of the Babysitters Club. But her voice is very pretty, and Hello is my new favorite song.
