Words of Wisdom...

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
Henry David Thoreau

"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
T.E. Lawrence

Dark Knight

I saw the new Batman movie AGAIN today. I have now seen it twice. First time I was in the 2nd row from the FRONT. Stupid opening night at 12:05 showing. Whatever.

Tonight I was in a much better place.

I like that movie poster. A lot. I'm not really sure why.

I think that despite all the controversy surrounding Heath Ledger and his performance (and death)... he was amazing. Regardless of whether or not he is alive.... he was awesome as the Joker. I would have expected much less from him.... I was so surprised at how he did.

I know I know..... he only gets this attention because he's dead. Whatever. I don't believe that for a minute. Everyone makes me feel stupid for feeling the way I do. I have never been a Heath Ledger fan. Ever. I have seen A Knight's Tale 200 times... ONLY BECAUSE I don't have cable and its always on tv...... Not because I think Heath is a stellar actor.

I have never wanted to see all his other movies, nor do I want to now.

Maybe its the sucker in me... the softie that feels for his daughter and family.... the GIRL who wants for him to get the recognition he deserves.

Maybe you don't think he deserves this recognition... but I do. So shove it up your butt if you don't agree. This is my blog.... I can say what I want. Its my whole freedom of speech thing.... freedom of press as well (in a way).

Yes.... my history teacher nerdism is coming out.
