This is one of my favorite songs from the 80’s. You would jam to this track when your lady, or man, breaks your heart. Such an amazing song.
Bored. I Guess I'll Write Something
“The Warmth”
Your warm lips brush upon mine.
Even though it was for a matter of seconds,
It felt like an eternity of bliss.
I want to feel that warmth again,
But I only want to feel it
With you.
“My Fairy Tale”
I’m always the dragon
Because I always get
Stabbed in the heart.
Both written by Ray Castillo 2010

A Single Man is the first film by fashion designer Tom Ford, which was adapted by the novel of the same name. For Ford’s first film I would have to say that it is pretty good. The first thing that I really enjoyed about this film is the way it looks. A Single Man is a beautiful looking film. Everything from costume design all the way to the film’s coloring is breath taking. It was a joy just to watch the film.
The story, itself, it solid as well. There isn’t too much to the story, as a whole, but Colin Firth’s character (George) is a very sad and torn character. I would love to read the novel because I feel there is more to be told about George’s character and life.
The final thing that I will say about this film is that Abel Korzeniowski’s score is amazing. I bought the soundtrack, to the film, a couple of weeks ago, and I cannot stop listening to it. Actually, as I’m writing this up I’m listening it. The music embodies the mood of the entire film, which is what a score is suppose to do.
I love stories that have tragic characters. I know that sounds a bit sadistic, but I find those types of characters interesting and I can sort of relate to them. George is someone I can sorta relate to because he keeps himself away from the world around him after he has lost the love of his life. Instead of letting go of the past he lets it run his life, and that is something that I can totally relate to. If any thing, I don’t want to turn into George because I don’t want to waste my life living in cage of despair. A quote that I will take with me, from the film, is when George repeats this famous quote:
“Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what happens to him.”
Instead of sitting in a theater watching blue people run around a jungle go seek out A Single Man. You won’t regret it.
Finish. Now to give it to someone to read over.

First draft, of my short story, is finished.
Spell check anyone?
The future is now.
I love game winning shots as much as the next guy, but when my favorite basketball team (the Los Angeles Lakers) have done it 3 times this season, by the hands of Kobe, it starts to scare me a bit. This Lakers are building a horrible habit, and that habit is letting other teams get ahead of them, in points, and making it harder on themselves to win games. It isn’t bad if your team gets down by 4 or 5 points but when other teams are getting ahead by 15 or more points is when you have to start to worry. After reading John Ireland’s blog post about last night’s Laker win it made me realize that the Lakers are on a troubled path. I still believe that the Lakers will win the 2009-2010 championship, but if they keep on playing games like this then I’m going to have to rethink the Lakers’ chances.
