moviepause

This is the first of many blogs.

I am in the middle of watching a great movie. One of those movies you see maybe once a year like Stars Wars, Dead Poets Society or Lord of The Rings. This time I paused it to get a drink and before going back to watch the rest, I stopped to realize this is great art, I am moved by this movie. This movie in a little over two hours has made me care what happens to these fictional characters. This time, I decided I will not waste this fleeting moment, but instead I will capture this moment by first writing a blog to catch and lock in this feeling of euphoria so I have a reference point to go back to the rest of my life because this is what life is about. It is about creating something that moves others in positive ways. Instead of always thinking this once a year at the end of a great movie created by another artist and then being lazy and doing nothing about it. I decided this time I will put my stake in the sand of life and make a difference from here on out in some way. So please do the same when you hit on that one great movie this year pause it or if you are in the movie theater bite your lip hard enough so you penetrate skin so you don't let the precious moment pass where you realize you will let the greatness of another make a difference in your life. This time instead of letting the moment pass do something about it.

I must go back now and enjoy the rest of Gran Torino. God Bless until we speak again.
