I have to admit, I enjoy what those Hollywood screenwriter have to offer. The movies served their purpose. So they're selling dreams. We buy them.

Reality Bites?

'..I thought the 6 am news would never air but it aired and it's time for me to close my eyes while the rest of the world turns and minding their own business..'

'..So here we go again. Another beginning of day. Can the time just freeze a while please.. and let me rest some more? What's so enchanting out there anyway? Worth me rushing off my bed. Wonder if my dreams make sequel. A moment pause from reality. I refuse to get along with the world..'

I must have been feeling pretty low. College can be a real drag at times.



From the movie Reality Bites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Grates: Have I stepped over some line in the sands of coolness with you? Because excuse me if somebody doesn't know the secret handshake with you.
Troy Dyer: There's no secret handshake. There's an IQ prerequisite, but there's no secret handshake.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Troy Dyer: [answering the phone] Hello, you've reached the winter of our discontent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vickie: Sometimes I get that not-so-fresh feeling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lelaina Pierce: I'd like to somehow make a difference in peoples' lives.
Troy Dyer: And I... I would like to buy them all a Coke.
Lelaina Pierce: And you wonder why we never got involved?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Troy Dyer: He's the reason Cliffs Notes were invented.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vickie Miner: I'm late for a jean folding seminar. Let's locomote!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lelaina Pierce: Are you religious?
Michael Grates: Um, uh, I guess uh, I guess I'm, uh a non-practicing Jew.
Lelaina Pierce: Hey, I'm a non-practicing virgin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lelaina Pierce: I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23.
Troy Dyer: Honey, all you have to be by the time you're 23, is yourself.
Lelaina Pierce: I don't know who that is anymore.
Troy Dyer: I do. And we all love her. I love her. She breaks my heart again and again. But I love her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vickie: Evian is naive spelled backward.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lelaina Pierce: Hey Sammy, what's your goal?
Sammy: My goal is... I'd like a career or something.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lelaina Pierce: Alright fine you wanna be in a band fine. Go ahead. Play everynight. Play three times a night! Don't just dick around the same coffee house for five years. Don't dick around with her; or with me. I mean try at something for once in your life, do something about it. But you know what? You better do it now and you better do it fast because the world doesn't owe you any favors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[assuming the question had no answer at all]
Lelaina: Can you define "irony"?
Troy Dyer: It's when the actual meaning is the complete opposite from the literal meaning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charlane McGregor: Why dont you get a job at the Burgerrama? they'll hire you
Lelaina: Because I was the Valedictorian of my University!
Tom Pierce: Well you dont have to put that on your application
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lelaina Pierce: I have to work around here, and unfortunately Troy, you are a master at the art of time suckage.

Being Children

On my 20th birthday I said to my Mom with a big smile and stretched out hands that I was twenty and all grown up. Mom walked off and non-chalantly said 'To me you're always 5'.
In their minds we never really grow up.

Count Your Blessings

Across from my room I could hear Mommy & Daddy Walker say their bedtime prayer. They thank God for every blessings that day down to the littlest one. They thank God for the strawberry ice cream we had in the living room one day coming home from a mass at 11 pm.
They thank God for other people in their lives and the blessings those other people have had. They asked forgiveness for every mistakes they have done throughout the day and forgiveness for the mistakes of other people they know.


'.. For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer. Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair. Walk beside the pony Daddy, it's my first ride. I know the cake looks funny Daddy, but I sure tried. With all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right. To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night..' Bob Carlisle

To What Do I Owe The Serenity of The Night Sky?



"Lonestar where are you out tonight? This feeling I'm trying to fight. It's dark and I think that I would give anything for you to shine down on me. How far you are, I just don't know the distance I'm willing to go. I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky. Hoping for some kind of sign." Lee Alexander.

The picture is perfect with the song, I thought.
