Shout Out to My Main Man

Any man can be a father, it takes someone special to be a dad. 

I always gush about my family because frankly I find them to be the best that I have ever hard. I especially consider my dad to be one of the biggest rock-stars that I know. Here is why.

• He is absolutely selfless. He puts his needs last and never considers his wants. He provides so much service for others. From mowing lawns, to fixing cars, to mending roofs, he helps others in need with without them asking. 
• He is hardworking. Hardworking is an understatement. He does not haven off button. 
• He is a leader. He can naturally guide people in an amazing way. He is able to teach and guide while providing an example. 
• He is cheesy. From song lyrics to awful jokes. It never stops. 
• He is supportive. There has never been one thing in my life that I have had to do alone. I can always count on the support of my dad if it's a play that I'm in to a paper that I am writing. He cares what my hopes are, knows what my dreams are, and cheers me on when I don't think I can do either. 

Today is his birthday. I would have bought him a present but I probably would have needed to borrow his own money to do so. So this is my present to you dad! A public announcement! I'll be home soon and we will celebrate then by going to sonic for happy hour but until then know that I miss you but love you that much more! 

ABC Christmas Movies

"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas."

 -Calvin Coolidge

Christmas is such a big deal that the world changes just because of it. People break out specific decorations, radio stations play specific music, there are even specific movies for this holiday. I particularly love watching the horrible, cheesy, ridiculous Hallmark/ABC Family movies that air the entire month. Anyone else with me? 

Sunday I found a great one on Netflix and started watching it. It was SOOOO good that a couple of my roommates watched it with me. At the end when Michelle found out that it wasn't on TV, but chosen from the plethora of Netflix movies she wasn't a happy camper. "You mean, we watched this on our own free will?"

This statement made me laugh, especially because we've been taught to be such smart consumers of the media lately. I watched the movie because of personal preference (as horrible as my preference may have been). Michelle would have watched the movie because it was on a television station. Do we let what is offered to us control what we watch? We always have free will to turn it off or even find something else but how often do we get trapt into watching something because it happens to be on?

Dang it.

So I have around 6 unpublished post. Whoops. I'm working on figuring out when I wrote them to get them right.

In the mean time, enjoy this clip.
