(most of these are random little tidbits that I thought about putting into my starting entry of this blog over the few weeks it took me to get around to actually doing it. enjoy)
I hereby vow to never paint myself into a corner where I am forced to stay up till 2:30am studying, and skip my morning classes in order to be adequately prepared for a test.

I've found that most people have a condition set in their mind that they will wait to find complete and total truth before they decide to act on it. The fact is, however that most of the time, we have been given enough of that truth to go ahead and act. The rest may come, it may not. But we must believe that we are going to be given as much as we will need. This is called living by faith.

(After going to see LOTR3, The Return of the King)
I am not a very emotional person. My mom, on occasions where people have asked: "Is Chris excited about [insert exciting activity here]?" has often replied: "Well...about as excited as Chris gets." I rarely cry.
Movies rarely affect me. People around me are jumping out of their seats as the monster reveals it's head, while I just sit calmly. The few scenes that I have almost cried in movies are as follows:
The big scene in ID4 where Bill Pullman makes his big speech before all the jet pilots go off to fight the aliens.
In Deep Impact where Elijah Wood leaves his family to go find his girlfriend/wife.
And most recently, in LOTR3, where Aragorn gives his big speech to his motley army before they begin to fight the last battle against Mordor. At times like this, I wonder where nobility and honor like that come from. I also wonder whether I would have it if I was placed in such a position. Or would I draft dodge and move to Canada. I'm really not sure. I hope that I never have to find out.
