- 7:53 p.m. i'm not too sure what's come over me lately, but i'm just a huge sack of emotion. it's pathetic almost. i went out and saw spanglish the other night with amy. within the first, oh, forty minutes i was getting all misty eyed. of course i blamed it on the sun and there was some popcorn in my eye and i just got shot in the knee and everything else. of course. but what really did it? the whole father-daughter relationship in the movie. i want to be that kind of parent to that great of a kid. halfway through the movie amy leaned over to me and said, "we're going to buy this movie." and i just nodded. and afterwards we were walking to the car. amy looked over at me and said, "sandler's character reminded me of you." and i said "how?" and she said "just his kindness and niceness. that's you." i tell you, i've been compared to movie characters before. but i don't think i've been as pleased as i was right then. i must be doing something right somewhere along the way. but, uh, i'm still tough! i shot something! with a big gun! and then i drove fast and i went off road! into the mud! and i ate meat! raw! it mooed! |
