a movie and reminiscing

I went and saw The Guardian tonight with Lisa and Brian. It's freaking amazing to say the least. It'll end up becoming one of my classic favorites. On the shelf right next to Armageddon, City of Angels, Message In A Bottle, Drop Dead Gorgeous, For Love Of The Game, Top Gun, Braveheart, Maverick ... yeah, you get the point here. I cried for about the last 5 minutes straight in the theater. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I think I'm addicted to Kevin Costner movies. So if you need a good movie to see, hit up The Guardian.

On another note, I got home tonight, pulled in the driveway, turned off my lights, and just sat there for a minute. For one I had been thinking about the ending of the movie, which I won't ruin for you, but it made me ponder quite a bit on the ride home. And then climbing out of my truck I happened to glimpse up and was purely in awe of how much the sky at night always steals a beat from my heart. So many stars. I know people say they love stars, but I really love stars. I stood in my driveway, letting the cool air, and the many twinkling lights take me back to a porch swing and a cabin in the mountains surrounded by woods. I miss my dads house. I miss the quiet. I miss the stillness and the peace. Standing outside tonight I was there and it made a corner of my heart glad for just those few seconds. I know I'm supposed to be here, in Toledo, going to school, and being involved for the time being. But in all seriousness, I cannot wait until I reach that day somewhere down the road in the future, where I can sit on a porch swing of my own, rocking away on my back porch, drinking hot chocolate, listening to the breeze, and seeing the stars every night they are visible. It's a serenity that you never gain a tolerance for. It'll grab you and catch you off guard every single time. *sigh* Seasons change, and time will only bring me closer. . .

It's off to bed for me now, my morning will begin in about 5 hours. Another full day. I'll try and get back to writing in here routinely. I always miss it.
