Julie and I spent almost a full Sunday in bed, which was fantastic, and it is surprising what you can do in a bed if you absolutely, positively, have decided to stay in bed at all(most all) cost! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, (even brinner) can easily be handled in bed! We saw a movie we had been recommended named Into The Wild.

The Movie

The movie is based (fairly accurately if I am not mistaken) on a true story, about a boy/man who decides to leave the capitalistic society in a quest for…well, the viewer doesn’t really know… but he burns his money, ditches his car, gives all his money to charity and experiences life a tramp, traveling USA, living in deserts and other deserted places mostly. In the movie you follow how he finds himself and what is important to him. It kinda hard to explain, but the story is sort of like The Beach only without the Hollywood fluff, stars and glamor. I could go on, but instead I’ll stop here and invite you to go see the movie, it is really worth it!

“Happiness is only real if it is shared”

The above quote is from the movie and I think it makes a ton of sense. What is any feeling really worth if you cannot share it with someone else? what is my love to Julie “worth” to me and her if we were not able to share the feelings with each other? Maybe I am a little sentimental now (so to all the real men with pure testosterone running in their veins where blood should be: I’m sorry!), but happiness needs to be shared! Did I mention I love my life?
