My Love Life
Or lack thereof... I f***ed up with an amazingly special girl I met named Kelly. I don't know if it would have grown to be anything more than an awesome friendship, but I perhaps pushed things a might fast (though probably slower than most guys) and scared her away. I'm currently trying to patch up our friendship, but only time will tell. There's no way I'm going to find a girl as sweet, kind-hearted, intelligent, cute, friendly and perfect as her for a long time. She also clicked with me on a personal level, enjoying the same things, including comics, cartoons, video games and much more. And she's a Christian, something important to me but hard to find in today's world where God isn't among the things we worship. Oh, and she had a Batman tattoo, which totally reeks of awesomeness :). We were getting along just smashingly until I decided, after peer pressure from a couple friends, to kiss her... and she got weirded out, since I'm the first guy who ever kissed her, and she's never been in a relationship before. She's the only girl who ever made me cry. I cried when I found out she was freaked out about the kiss, and I cried more when she sent her friend to give me the "It's not you, it's me" speech... or more of "It's not you, it's her" since she didn't have the heart to do it herself. I know that if we're meant to be together again it will happen, and I'll just have to wait and see.
Church
Yup, I went to church this week for the first time in a while. I have to admit that Kelly singing there was a strong draw, but I enjoy church. I went to the local Presbyterian Church, where Kelly sings in the monthly contemporary service in a trio, along with my ex-roomie Josh and his girlfriend Laura. Josh surprised me with how well he sang, because frankly, he didn't exactly come off as the singing type to me. Kelly has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard. They did an amazing job and I thoroughly enjoyed the service, worship, sermon, everything.
Movie Reviews
12 Monkeys
I saw this one a couple weeks ago for the first time, definitely a fascinating movie, especially when you consider the time travel paradoxes throughout. There was a discussion at the theater afterwards about time travel from a couple professors, fascinating stuff. Brad Pitt picks some pretty good movies (He can be forgiven for the Mexican and Meet Joe Black), like Fight Club, Interview With A Vampire, 12 Monkeys and Snatch. Bruce Willis also totally rules in this one.
Song of the Day
'N Sync's cover of Janet Jackson's "That's The Way Love Goes"
One of the best covers I've heard in a long time, came as a complete surprise on the mtvICON special last night. I expected one of the medleys that 'N Sync is known for. However, 'N Sync did an entire music video tribute to Janet with an amazing rendition of a classic. I wish it would have been a little longer, coming in at just around two minutes, but I thoroughly enjoyed what there was. Grade: A-
Stay tuned, same Bat time, same Bat website!
