I had a long evening flight from Gatwick last night. The inflight movies usually suck on the way back. It ended up being The Pursuit of Happiness. It did not suck. In fact I can't stop thinking about the story and I'm going to get Chris Gardner's book now.

The title comes from Thomas Jefferson's contribution to the Declaration of Independence. If you haven't read the Declaration in a while, take a moment and do so. Such a dramatic, arrogant proclamation. If you want to know what America is about, thats the begining and end of story.

Getting back to the movie, it just astounds me that anyone could keep going despite all the obstacles this man faced. In America you can't have bad luck every day. If you wake up every day looking to succeed, eventually you will.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

i am so tempted to watch that movie, but it looks too depressing. i hate to cry, and i almost did just watching the preview for it. i'd have to watch that chick shoot eels out her ass again just to recover...

and they made you a mod???

Mod Edit: Stop trying to derail multiple threads with the stupid Lion Pics.

"stupid lion pics"


sigh... it is really over isn't it?

I just watched "50 cent: Refuse 2 Die". It's a documentary and sadly he doesn't die in the end. I was really hoping for a "Braveheart" style ending. "Nnnnnnniiiiiiggggggaaaaaazzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!"
