for some reason in 2009 i stumbled across the cable movie xanadu and.....was trans-fixed!
i had to watch it!
i had massive 80's flash backs being in high school and hiring out the vhs tape!.....yes we had tapes in my day.
I always loved Olivia! What a pure voice, angel face! Innocence. I think the most scandalous thing she did was that work out video with all the sweaty muscular men and tight fitting work out outfits and headbands LOL!
Xanadu was fun. :) Corny and predictable and fun.
Grease was like that too...but who doesnt know the words to all the Grease songs by now??
one lady even made the comment: "the person who studied with me said my little boy would never go to school.
now i've got grand kids!
" this got a big laugh.
A lot of truth is disguised as a joke.
If they didnt laugh they would ALL cry at how they wasted their lives...waiting
i sooooo want to see that movie!!!
thats where i was headed but they were sold out and i ended up seeing tdtess.. looks like classic growling snarling eastwood..

i have never seen a movie with such poor character developement!
the alien was the perfect role for keanu...playing an emotionally dead alien!
and will smiths son plays the little brat kid that needs a kick in the pants.
I think I would have smacked Will Smith's kid on several occasions during that movie. That side plot was annoying. Gort was magnificent looking and should have been watching over Klatu as he was designed to do. Like break the hell out of confinement...and how did they EVER confine him to begin with? That was stupid....and let Gort go get his boss out of custody like he was supposed to. Let the aliens take all our garbage dumps with them when they leave, suck up all the space junk too on the way out...and let Keanu Reeves fall in love with the woman and decide to stay like that Chinese guy he was talking to at McDonalds.
And hey..McDonalds? Get your sponsorship money back.
i was totally spiritually and mentally out of it at least 2 years before i resigned as an elder.
it was actually a long process but i can say it is a complete one.
I started studying in June 1984. Got baptized in May 1985 and by March of 1986 I was headed for the door...seeing clearly the hypocrisy and the lies. But then in the fall of 1986 I met my husband at a "congregation picnic", damn near got myself disfellowshipped for immoral behavior () so decided to get married after knowing him only like 7 months. I bit the bullet and took my kids to meetings and put on the face until 1995 when they changed again...the Generation and I saw so much immorality around me self righteousness...gawd. In 1996 I stopped going to meetings, kicked the book study out of my house, stopped service entirely. In the fall of 1996 I found Randy Watters and Ray Franz and in January of 1997 I wrote my DA letter and never looked back.
A long damn time...too long.
But I always look at my gorgeous, wonderful, loving children that came from all that mess and I wouldnt trade them for those 13 lost years or anything else...and I freed them when I freed myself.

this year because thanksgiving was so very late in november, people didnt have as much time to put up and keep up their lights as they usually do.
i know its only a week's difference...but it made a difference.
before we knew it it was christmas already and now the music has stopped and the lights are coming down...and the thing i hate to see the most.... christmas trees discarded and left at the curb for the garbage man.
Well I live in Florida so not so much seasonal affection disorder as NO seasons at all disorder. We kinda have one season here which vassilates between warm and really hot but its pretty much green alllll the time and you dont have disiduous trees.
All of my non JW family, anybody who DOES celebrate the holiday...are all up in Illinois and so we are alone down here every holiday. It just never works out that we can all be together. Everybody and their kids all work different schedules. I am trying to bring my EXJW mother in law down here next year though...spending Christmas with an Elder husband when you are an EXJW is pure hell on earth.
Thanks for your support guys...Happy New Year!

I dont know why that bothers me so much. Its almost like getting rid of a family member. I remember as a child in Illinois, going out behind the garage where my dad discarded our tree, and sitting it upright against the wall. There were little bits of tinsel still on it. I would decorate it with snowballs and discarded ribbon back there because I felt sorry for it. Even as a JW I hated seeing those trees out there on the cold curb.
So I was going to work on Sunday, in my car, and found a station that was still playing Christmas songs..and it made me so happy for 20 minutes. Goofy huh? I couldnt let it go. And on the way home that station had changed to regular programming. Each night on the way home from work, there are less and less pretty lights on in the neighborhoods. Last Monday night before Christmas, I took my kids and their BFFs to Hoffmans Chocolate Factory and we got McDonalds and we rode around the neighborhoods looking at all the glorious lights! Im still a big kid I guess.
Today I have off and will be beginning the re-packing process myself. The house will be so boring and bland without the pretty tree in the corner of the living room and candles and smells of baking in the air.
Do you guys feel like this after Christmas?

The original movie scared the crap outta me when I was a kid. It used to come on like once a year on Family Classics. I own it now. This movie didnt even resemble that one in quality...special affects notwithstanding.
Very disappointing.
