So Cami and I watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" tonight and I'm happy that we invested our time to watch this movie and our money to support it.
A brief summary of the movie is that it's about a guy who was born old, literally, and was abandoned by his father after his mothers death giving birth to the child. He left him because to him, he looked like a monster. As the days, months, years go by, this little old kid gets physically younger and eventually die as a baby. The story takes place between his life after first world war

i'm more excited to talk about the moral of the movie.
the moral of the movie, to me, is that though often times we're caught up in our lives we tend to forget who we are and what kind of talents and gifts we have. This movie brought back to me that we should live each day, and every moment with intentions. It's cool cause every character in the movie has a talent and with their talents they learned how to appreciate what they have, when they have it Everyone on this planet has a talent. Whether they know it or not, they have one. The Movie also indicates that all are equal, the same, and all have something in common which is having a life. Sometimes being young we fail to recall that the elders were once young and take them for granted with their past experiences. Even though we all look different, we were all still blessed with the beautiful concept of life.
WITH GRATITUDE:
i'm appreciative for my life
i'm appreciative for my friends
i'm appreciative for my family.
I'm Glad to say that this my first blog for 2009.
"Some people are born to sit by a river, some get struck by lightning, some have an ear for music, some are artists, some swim, some know buttons, some know Shakespeare, some are mothers and some people dance.
It’s never too late...or, in my case, too early, to be whoever you want to be...There’s no time limit, start anytime you want...change or stay the same...there aren’t any rules...We can make the best or worst of it...I hope you make the best...I hope you see things that startle you. Feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you challenge yourself. I hope you stumble, and pick yourself up. I hope you live the life you wanted to...and if you haven’t, I hope you start all over again.”
-Benjamin Button
