Encounter

In this lovely Spanish Coca-Cola spot, “Encounter”, a 102 year-old man is brought to meet a new-born baby boy. They’re not related, and have no reason to meet other than the connection of both being human. The old man’s face when he first sees the boy is touching. He then gives the new soul some sage advice that would normally be a bit obsequious, but seems so genuinely heart-felt and honestly-meant that I let myself go and went for the emotional ride of it. And you should too. Sometimes, it just feels good to feel good.

In a Charmed Life, A Road Less Traveled

I thought this was beautiful and moving.
It's such an inspiring story about love, commitment and the human spirit if you have a moment to read.

The Dreamers

Matthew: I wanted you to say that you love me.
Theo: We just did, Matthew
Matthew: No, you said you love me 'too'. I don't want you to say that you love me 'too'. I want you to say that you...love me.

This is Life

I know, I know. Life is so disappointing. Here you are. You have arrived. You are here. This is your moment. What do you have? You have pain. You have everything. What do you have? You have nothing. Everything is right, or everything is wrong. It's disappointing, it's confusing. This is life. What can we do?

Do You Remember Me?

Today while we were walking down the promenade, a rather crazy-looking man came up to us and asked:
"Do you remember me??"
"No, sorry man"
"I'm the guy who was found dead on the beach 3 years ago. Only, I wasn't dead."

Who would have thought we would've run into THAT guy!

New Hair

I went back to Trim on Abbott Kinney and got my hair re-styled. :D
