indiana jones and benjamin button

i'm surprised by all the criticism the new indiana jones film is receiving.

i think some people are taking this movie way too seriously. just like all the other three films, kingdom of the crystal skull retains what these movies were always suppose to be about-- fun (and not necessarily believable).

it makes me wonder why no one really bothered to question how a knight was able to live in a cave for 700 years, or how evil mola ram was capable of tearing somebody's heart out with his bare hands. i think i'm okay with the fact that jones was able to save himself from a nuclear explosion by jumping into a refrigerator.

i liked it. it was fun. although i missed the nazis, i really dug how they introduced the new cold war era. note: bombing test site; milkshake bar fight; better red than dead!

one more thing,

the curious case of benjamin button... wow, looking for to it-- looks like a whole new thing for david fincher. 

when i loose that obedience, i look at where i am in the moment-- and i see nothing ahead of me.

somewhere along the way, i've lost a lot of confidence, and i've always wondered why. it kept worrying me until i figured out that there's no need for me to worry about anything. i need to still believe that God can look after the practical details of my life. i seem to have lost grasp of that throughout these past few months.

done

i am.. officially done with my first semester at aau.. and i'm feeling pretty great about it. really great actually--

i know this is gonna sound a bit cheesy, but.. i'm really proud of what i've accomplished this semester. i know that i didn't do a lot of things right in my life. and i know that i've always been letting my family, and myself down in the past. now i'm really proud to say that i've worked really hard during these past five months to get to where i want to be. i'm beginning to see a future for myself, and whatever that may be.. i'm stoked for it.
