“I know it’s a cornball thing, But love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. I say, fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who will love you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head, and you listen to your heart. And I’m not hearing any heart. ‘Cause the truth is, honey, there’s no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven’t lived a life at all. But you have to try, ’cause if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived” Meet Joe Black<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n

“…anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life and love shouldn’t be one of them…” Dream for an Insomniac<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
I watched Dream for an Insomniac for the first time in a really long time the other evening. One of the rare nights that I am home early. Jumped into my PJ’s and just watched. It all came back to me why I loved that movie so much. Can’t eloquently put it into words, but I just love that movie!<\/span><\/div>\n

For those that have never seen the movie, let me give you a brief …it’s one of those typical romantic chick flicks, Girl is cynical till proven otherwise when Boy walks into the picture and literally her world of Black and White becomes Colour. You laugh, but it’s part of the film! From the moment go, there is a deep connection, attraction between Frankie (the Chic) and David Schrader (the GUY! Segway: Admittedly, David Schrader has now become a TERM for a certain type of guy who falls at the top or the hierarchy)). They bounce of each other extremely well and there is an undeniable C O N N E C T I O N between them. Frankie begins to fantasize over their possible future, till it is revealed that he has a girlfriend (I can hear definitive murmurs of ‘Don’t they all?’ sniggering in the midst) Though there were no promises between them, David feels it necessary to apologise for not being up front about having a girlfriend, and points out that he is happy with her…Molly Monday, the girlfriend! Frankie then challenges him with…<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
“No, you’re safe with her. Do you love her David? Like really love her. When she’s been away the whole day, does she make everything okay the moment you see her…”<\/span><\/em><\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Okay I had to paraphrase as it’s been awhile! On the night before she leaves for LA, she makes it a mission to
\n“…Circum Navigate his heart till he’s anchored on all sides…”<\/span> <\/em><\/strong><\/span>Not an easy feat for anyone! David denies their connection, opting for the safety of his Molly Monday! Frankie leaves for LA broken hearted, much to the dismay of her best friend Allie, who knows she will have to deal with her friend. Alas, as all romantic chick flicks go…with the exception of MOST Barbra Streisand movies, they end up together. David realising that he would rather live with passion that with his Molly Monday! Awww shucks! Tissue please! <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Since Valentines Day is around, I thought I would do a tribute rant about the over commercialised day, and no I am not being cynical. On the contrary…call me CUPID! *grins*<\/span><\/div>\n
