My Sick Day (Comedy Central Critique)

So today was spent mostly sitting on my oh so comfy couch and watching Comedy Central. This is what I watched:

National Lampoon's Van Wilder starring Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid.
I love this movie so much. If I had to choose one movie that I had to watch over and over again until I die, it'd be this one. It has Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds, my hearthrob) as a popular party boy in his 7th year of college. Without revealing too much of the story, he falls in love with a journalist who is in a relationship with a stuck up frat boy who loathes her new love interest. It's funny and romantic and is famous for it's gross out scene of "creme" filled donuts. A pure classic.

Legally Blonde starring Reese Witherspoon and Luke Wilson.
This movie is okay. A sure fire chick flick that can only be watched once every few years. In short, Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is dumped by her boyfriend and follows him into law school, but then realizes her potential. This is a funny movie and a good way to spend an evening, but only for those craving a girls night.

Dane Cook: Vicious Cycle
Very funny! I'm such a huge fan of Dane Cook and the SuFi! He is so innappropriate and speaks about very real situations, reaching out to much of the younger and middle aged generations. While dirty, he makes everyone laugh, and doesn't deny his faith. If you want to laugh a lot, and can handle some language, Dane Cook is a must see.

What is my purpose?

This is something I've thought about over and over again in the past few months, and I'm hoping that an answer will develop itself soon. I do have a few ideas though.

My role in life involves many things.
1) Be me. Nobody can do it better.
2) Be useful. I want to contribute to the world in a positive way.
3) Be a lover. It's such a strong part of me. I ache when I don't have a direction to send my affection.

Again, I am a lover.

As much as I hate to admit it, I need to have someone in my life to care about besides my friends and family. I hate feeling so needy, but I have such a strong desire to have someone by my side that I can take care of.

And I can't keep pretending to have feelings that aren't there all the time.

So right now I'm focusing on being happy while being single. I need to grasp the sad reality of life and enjoy it to the fullest. This link helps me get through the day; it's like a tough coach that supports you but also pushes you to be your best.

Getting Started

So this is my first post on Blogger, and I'm still developing my ideas for what I plan on accomplishing in a blog.

First I'll mention that my inspiration for creating a blog comes from the book What Would Google Do? by the one and only Jeff Jarvis. While I'm not deep into the book yet, I've already found it very interesting and hope to find time to finish it soon.

I suppose I could some amateur critiquing. When I get finished with the book, I'll be sure to comment about it. I apologize for being so brief.
