The Final Transition

So I knew that eventually the time will come and I will cancel my blockbuster account. Officially I get my movies from Netflix now. The in-store exchange was a fascinating idea for blockbuster and I was sold. It seemed as if they had their competition wiped out of this earth. I should have know better then that. Of course the competitors would come up with ways to keep customers around. But it wasn’t what the competition had to offer that made me switch it was just an incentive. The transition happened when blockbuster decided to limit the amount of in-store exchanges. You can’t give and then take it away. That is like giving somebody a Christmas gift and then a year later asking back for it. It’s absurd.

Well I’m happier now knowing I’ll be getting my movies in the mail quicker and not having to drive to the store all the time. Not to mention the online viewing hours Netflix gives you according to your plan. Pretty awesome.To give it all a shot I watched a movie online last night. 12 Angry Men to be exact. I’ve been wanting to watch this movie for a while now. It’s a 1957 classic and one that is on most movie critics top 10 list. Well it made my top 30, ranking in at 21st. I have to say I still like A Few Good Men better as a courtroom drama. Still, this is a nice way to start off the subscription.

Punch Drunk Love

I haven’t truly wrote anything on wordpress in a while. It has been on my mind and heart a lot, knowing that I could be very encouraging to others. The best way to express my feelings, emotions, and thoughts is to write it down in a open manner. I have nothing to hide from you guys and I hope that you don’t hide anything from me either. We need to have the trust and brotherhood/sisterhood amongst each other that is unbreakable and strong as God’s armor. Don’t be afraid to let it all out in front of people that love you and won’t judge you. With that said, don’t worry about sounding silly or making a fool of yourself, stand strong for God. We are his people and we have been commanded to show undying compassion. Be fearless and brave hearted, have glory and mercy, show punch drunk love to God and one another.

I love this movie with Adam Sandler. He is such a confused individual, who is unsure of himself and has no faith in others. He is very determined though to make something happen and break out of his shell. The reason why it never worked before is because he was self-centered. The awakening seems to emerge when he falls in love and stops focusing in on himself but shifting his attention to his love.

Love has such a huge impact on our life. Most of the times we don’t notice this but it is one of the only things that make us stop thinking of ourself. When you fall in love with someone there is nothing you wouldn’t do for that person. I love my wife so much and there isn’t anything any man can think of that I wouldn’t do for her. I love you guys just as much and there isn’t anything that I wouldn’t do for any of you either. Even those that I don’t know so well yet, I want you to know that I’ll always be here for you. Don’t ever hesitate to call and ask for a hand or just a listening heart. I love God, my wife and my family more then just a lot. I love you punch drunk.

That being said I’m going to bed. I’ll try to be on here more in the future.
