by a thread

sara and i went to see the movie, "sweeney todd: the demon barber of fleet street." we both enjoyed it. i could probably watch johnny depp licking stamps for two hours and still be amused. i also love tim burton. no one is shocked.

i think what i got most from it is that your life is like the little drop of water hanging on a thread. things can change in an instant, such that your life will be forever altered. sometimes these things are within your control and sometimes life just slaps you in the face. and in the end, it's all about how you react to these events. brutal murder and melodious singing are not my choices....i think i deal with things with more subtlety. there have been so many moments in my life that have directed my path...words, thoughts, events, and so many people. my droplet has fallen many times, but there has always been a string or two to pick me up.

i spent my saturday, prior to the movie, with three of my really good friends. they have all seen the good and bad side of me. i have known them all for over ten years and yes, they still seem to enjoy spending time with me. they watched me finally finish a scrapbook. we spent the day listening to mix cds that a new friend made me (by force) and talking about the various strings that connect us. they definitely have been strings that have directed my incredible path of life.

good times. hang on.
