Cry

I do think that sometimes making someone cry is a good thing. A great thing even.

Reminding her that the world is so much better with her in it, yeah that can do it.
Making her feel as beautiful as she deserves to feel.
Thanking her for being her and telling her that without her, the word "great" could not be defined. I think that can do it.
Telling her that there isn't an hour of the day that goes by that she isn't thought of, and then somehow proving it.

I want to make someone cry like that.

Movies

I changed my cable package recently. I decided to try some of the movie channels.

I miss the days when "HBO" meant "Home Box Office" and HBO showed movies. Hit movies. Hit movies with titles that I actually heard of. And not "Hellboy", over and over again. Or the sequel.

And "Showtime" is even worse. They haven't had a hit movie air in years.

Thank God for Netflix.

The Rental

Rental cars are a bad thing. Most times, they're better than the car we normally drive. They have all the gadgets and toys, they smell good and for some reason they always get great gas mileage.

This leads to awful behavior. We're mean to our own car after we drop off the rental and go back home. We say bad things to our vehicle, telling it how much better the "other" car was, comparing features, mileage and smells.

We do that to our cars and then we get mad when they break down.

It's just wrong.
