Bad Luck stopped by for a few hours...
I arrived back at my mother's house around 4pm. The wedding started at 5pm. I called a locksmith they said they would be at my house in 10 minutes. So in a matter of maybe 2 minutes he was able to open my door. I gave him a tip even though he probably didn't deserve it. I quickly stumbled inside and called Chuck to get directions to the wedding. I quickly got dressed like I was Superman in a phone booth. I jumped in the car and hit the road. Well guess what? I forgot the directions at home. So I headed back home that cost me another 10 minutes. So finally I got back in my car and started towards my destination. Well I just happened to glance at my dashboard. What do ya know I was on empty, so I had to go get some gas. So finally I was back on the road again. I started to think about the day and my frustrations. I couldn't help but bust out laughing. If you think about it all it was kind of funny. After that I popped in a U2 mix-tape and tried to enjoy myself. Traffic was good for while and then I hit a snag at I-270. Finally things picked up again on I-25. Just when I thought my bad luck was gone. I managed to get pulled over by a police officer right before my exit. But something happened, back luck decided to leave me. The cop gave me a warning. See not just good looking Blondes get off easy. Annoying sarcastic punks get off too.
I arrived at Jen and Travis's wedding around 6:15. Of coarse I missed the ceremony. But I did manage to make it before the reception started. The night ended up being a lot of fun. Sure the day got off to a rough start. But as I always try to make the most of things. And ended up having a great day. I never let bad things ruin my day. Sometimes you can't control things that happen to you. But you can always control how you react to them. And that right there is half the battle my friends.

Happiness is for the taking...
Pursuit
Of Happyness:
Movie Trailer
One of the best things about the movie is just watching the interplay between Will and his real life son Jaden. Who also plays his son in the movie. Jaden's acting really impressed me. For him to come alive in a role that is about as far as he could get from the real life he lives. If your looking for something that will move your soul then you should check this one out. This movie really moved me. It made me stop and think about how blessed I am. I have such an easy life compared to so many through out this world. It kind of makes me feel guilty. This movie may have it's flaws. But that's alright with me. I still loved it. I'm all for anything that inspires me and this movie inspired me.

Lassie Foundation (Album Review)
- Most of us thought The Lassie Foundation had released it's last album with El Dorado. So when I heard a few months back that they had decided to head into the studio and record another album, I about lost it. For those of you are unaware of the Lassie Foundation, you should be ashamed of yourselves. They are by far one of the best pop/shoegaze bands you will ever lay your ears on.
Lassie
Foundation-
Face Your Fun

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.'
