Taking A Chance On Love

I love falling in love with a song. Especially if the message within the lyrics have such deep meaning. feelings and thoughts invade your mind causing a commotion between your logical self and the romantic you.

"Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
I was not born to drown
Baby come on"


The mourning of death have clouded the sky for this couple. It's no longer a happy place, they are "drowning" in their own town filled with strangers. If nothing happens now and they don't take the leap, They are going to be walking the same streets everyday.

"Forget what Father Brennan said
We were not born in sin"

Religious beliefs can have a strong hold on people. It can determine if they go with their lover crossing states or stay with that they know. What most people tend to forget is that God is love, Always choose love.

"Let your mother know you're safe
And by the time she wakes
We'll have driven through the state
We'll have driven through the night"

The decesion has been made. The more miles you out on the car the more liberated you feel. A new complicated chapter starts to unfold and all you have is your love. Nevertheless it's a trial only the strongest survive.

"Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse"

The vibes are right and her lover is staring right into her eyes. The intimacy in that moment sparks something of what some might call madness. They leave within seconds taking a chance on themselves. Are you willing to sleep on the floor?

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
