Down but Never Out

In the past few months I have been stretched in ways I never knew I could be stretched. And I have been stressed in ways I never realized I could be either. And when I'm stressed, I have stomach problems. Needless to say, I've been having lots of stomach problems this month. I must transfer all my stress and tension into my neck, shoulders, and stomach - not that you really wanted to know this, but I think they are common stress symptoms for people out there. So I'm convinced it's not TMI (too much information). :) I've also been having a lot of "woe is me" attitude, in the sense of second-guessing myself, not knowing how I'm going to handle everything that's overwhelming, and just wanting to escape it all. My friend Monicca told me it was the ostrich syndrome. She was referring to one aspect of my life, but little does she know it was how I was feeling about almost all aspects of my life, save one.

Great Thinking Movie!

I know there are times when you don't want to see a movie that makes you think. Like this weekend I'll probably watch "Night at the Museum" because I want to laugh. I've been reading and thinking a lot so I'd rather do without the thinking bit this weekend. BUT, if you have a hankering for a good movie that's not very long and just really well done, that just leaves you thinking, I recommend watching "The Syrian Bride". I had heard some things about the area this movie was shot in, but this movie really provoked me into thinking about how policies and politics never take into consideration the people they affect. Not only does this movie make me think about that, but the movie takes you through so much as a viewer and then makes you realize that everything in the movie happens in ONE day. So watch it! And then tell me what you think of it!
