2007 Quotes

Everybody talks. Few do.

There’s two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down. You got your talkers and you got your doers. Most people are just talkers. All they got is talk. But when all’s said and done, it is the doers who change the world. And when they do that, they change us. That’s why we never forget them…So, which one are you? Do you just talk about it? Or do you stand up and do something about it? Because believe you me all the rest of it is just coffee house bullsh*t.

- Rocco, Boondock Saints II

i’m at cc.

For an idea of how I feel like right now, listen to “Time to Pretend” by MGMT while reading The Lord’s Prayer aloud. That’s the battle in my mind/soul.

Is it weird to want to rid of myself of purity for the purpose of not worrying about it?

How do you mud wrestle in an all-white tux and not get dirty?

I know this one Guy, s’posed to be be the best at getting stains out.

Friday night I experienced some new environments. I was pleasantly surprised at some parts, and not surprised at all by others.

Saturday I spent at the beach with people I love and who love me. The beach always leaves me refreshed and contemplative. I felt the inklings of a desire to… more actively engage/embrace/figure out my faith.

For the last two years or so this has always meant starting with The Lord’s Prayer. I can’t explain why completely, except that many times I have no idea what else to pray, and that is the most sure, true, simple thing I can think of as a starting point. It has always meant a lot to me in that respect.

Sunday I played drums at church. It is a uniquely satisfying experience. Then Mike Patz serendipitously decided to pray the Lord’s Prayer. Strike One.

Had a great lunch with Glenn. Remembrance. I spent a lot of time that day reflecting on life.

Sunday Night I watched The Soloist. What an amazing film. More amazing than the story of commitment, community, friendship, love was the moment closer to the end of the film that finds a major character emotionally reciting the Lord’s Prayer, slowly, intentionally. Strike Two. I went to bed, unsure of what steps to take ( I know what hasn’t worked and what I DON’T want to be like) but not willing to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Monday Morning. I sit down at work, open my email, where I receive a Daily Text from the Moravian Church, just a couple of quick verses and a short prayer for the day; I highly recommend it, by the way. Many days it’s the only Bible I get.

Today, for the first time ever in these emails, the prayer was, indeed, the Lord’s Prayer.

Strike Three. Now what?

I don’t know, but I’m hopeful.

“Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.”

Saint Augustine

our flag was still there.

when the smoke clears

and the dust and ash has settled

hark, what soldier still standing, firm, undeterred?

It is the good man.

Niceguyety notwithstanding, he can take a wound, can take a bullet.

And he has. But he’s not worried.

He has seen far worse.

With every battle, though victor of none, he’s made stronger yet.

Resilient, Hopeful, Intent.

Chivalry rises again before the ten-count, before all is lost.

boldly looking in the face of despair.

“Is that the best you can do?”

Hope dangles on a string like slow-spinning redemption.

“I know that you don’t think you’re ever gonna find someone else. But you will. I promise you, you will.” – Jim Halpert.

drew actually blogs this time.

So, what has been on my mind lately that i wanted to blog about? A few things actually. here we go.

 

Slumdog Millionaire.

This blog entry is too late to make me appear as awesome as I am, because it sounds blah to blog about a movie that won best picture and talk about how good it is.  It’s the blogical equivalent to getting to the pearly gates and going… “OHHHH…. it was real… I KNEW it.” Well, maybe not exactly. 

In my defense I have seen the movie five times, and three of those were before it was even nominated for an Oscar. So there. I am totally awesome. No, but really, what a great film. Heartwarming. Engaging. Michael Jackson co-starring as a grownup Salim. All of these things made fo— wait, what? Seriously? No way. It HAS to be him. Whatever. definitely him.

 

I’m Just Not That Into Valentine’s.

That’s a lie. I’m a hopeless romantic. Nah, i end up pretty hopeful often, too. But I did have a good one this year, albeit basically platonic. Ashlynn was the name of the lucky recipient of a fantastic night with me that included good music, wonderful italian cuisine, a good reisling, lots of laughs, good conversation, a great parking spot, and a great movie. and a speeding ticket. oops. One of those was less  than satisfying. But I daresay she had a great time too. So, yeah. It feels good to know that I’ve still got it. Even if “what I’ve got” is the ability to platonically romance a girl at my own expense with no capacity to translate that into anything beyond platonicity. I’m proud of my awkward special power. Oh, what movie did we see that night?

 

The International.

Clive Owen was pretty awesome, as was the movie. I was not expecting to walk out feeling like i was imparted wisdom by a movie that “action-thriller”-y. But there were some gems:

“Sometimes you meet your destiny on the road you took to avoid it”

“Character is much easier kept than recovered.”

I know, right? good stuff. Anyway, ironically the next point is poignant when placed after these two…

 

She’s Just Not That Into Drew.

I saw that movie too. Did I get the title right? That was quite the movie experience for me. Honestly, the folks in the row in front of us specifically thanked me for my commentary. I have discovered that I enjoy observing  and analyzing cross-gender interactions and their intentions, etc. Personal occurences aside, I just find the whole concept intriguing. Subtext, context, txt-text. all of it. Maybe the knowledge of research will pay off.  Or at the very least provoke some interesting reponses on my blog.

 

Drew is developing the product. No, really.

I have lost about 4 pounds this month so far. I’m exercising a lot more and counting calories and tracking both along with my weight on my sexy iPhone. So, ya. I’m sticking more to bodyweight stuff and walking/running at my house so I can watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia on my laptop while I walk/run. 

 

Bonus Lightning Round!

  • Zach and I concluded that the Church is Echinacea for Society, at least ideally. 
  • The new facebook is cleaner. It’s a SIMPLER, cleaner look. I am stunned by people who find it more cluttered. It is anything but that.  It’s far easier to navigate and interact with… I’m a little annoyed with people who didn’t like the last facebook change, and now that it is simpler again, they are equally dissatisfied. As I tweeted, please, Embrace the learning curve of GROWTH.
  • I miss matt green.
  • I am free for a lunch thurs/fri of next week. Feel free to attempt to schedule a lunch.
  • Blog coming soon about how AWESOME the Watchmen book was, and how much better it made the movie to have read it first.
  • I’m voting No on One. Because the argument for it is one thing (child molestation fear), but the “fix” is WAY overboard and COMPLETELY restricting the possibilty for a city to offer any protective rights that the state does not. Also, the amount of concern for this issue is ten times more than that shown for the homeless sheltering ordinance, an issue Jesus cares MUCH, MUCH more for. I promise. He told me.
  • I definitely have been more inspired to really learn about my craft (drumming) and become excellent at all aspects of it.
  • I’m currently reading The Great Divorce by CS Lewis.

Ok, I’m off.

John Mayer is my friend.

“I want to be less fun at parties, and find it hard to meet new people.
I want to be happier in the house than out of it.
I want to be fearless and remember not to compromise a thing, until the work is done and it’s time to shorten it for the radio.”

- John Mayer

defiant drew refuses to be a mall cop.

So, life has been happening. Things to note:

I bought the Watchmen. I hope to read this allegedly stunning graphic novel before the movie drops in March, so I can be dissapointed with the film. i kid, i kid.

I’m currently reading the Great Gatsby. It is starting to become more interesting. I love the way Fitzgerald writes.

Tonight I saw Mall Cop. I agree with my friend in that a basically ridiculous-plotted but funny anyway kinda movie has to stand the Dumb and Dumber Test. This movie definitely fails that, but I did laugh quite a bit. Kevin James did a great job.

“Nobody wins with a headbutt.” – Paul Blart

Always get a little miffed though when hollywood takes a fat guy (namely, Kevin James), and puts him in these movies where he always ends up with a super-hot girl adoring and loving him despite his enormity. This is one of the suspensions of reality, that, because I am close to this part of reality often, annoys me. But I digress. It does remind me to work out more. (The Y was closed today, BTW. Bummer.)

Defiance on the other hand was really really good. I loved the historical nature of it, as well as the fact that it was a true story. It is a film that makes you really think about the value of human life and morality and honor and brotherhood and doing something worth being remembered for. Plus, any movie that makes me wanna be more of an Eldredgian Bad Ass Man’s Man can’t be too bad for me.

Ok, that’s all for tonight. Time to see where Gatsby is driving him. and to get to bed on time.

“Hey, If I were you it would be me that I go home with!” – Andre 3000
