Giant!
Just watched Giant starring Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson as well as James Dean. It was amazing! It was over three hours but well worth the time because I literally fell in love with the movie. We really do not have actors or movies like this one anymore and my heart is literally sad because of it. I tend to fall in love with most classic movies and this is definitely a classic, I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it and if you have seen it, watch it again :) The whole cast was beautiful from the stubborn Jordan Benedict to the drunk but charming Jett Rink. Even as the characters aged they were all more beautiful than I could ever hope to be. It really was a delight.

What A Man...
On today's date in 1916 one of the greatest actors to ever grace the silver screen was born. Eldred Gregory Peck is known for being a part of two American classics; Moby Dick and To Kill A Mockingbird. But most people do not know that he was an activist and fought for civil rights as well as gay rights. He was a man who was born before his time, we could really use someone like him today with all that is going on in our world. I fell in love with Mr. Peck the first time I watched To Kill A Mockingbird. I was in 9th grade and my English teacher allowed us to watch the movie to compare it to the novel which we were reading in class at the time. All of my friends were making fun of the movie because it is in black and white and calling it boring, but I was completely mesmerized by Atticus Finch. All I could think of was here was a father who was doing all he could to teach his children right from wrong, even if others did not agree with his ideas. Gregory Peck was in my opinion very much like Atticus Finch, he stood up for what he believed in no matter what others thought. We can all learn something from his way of thinking, we need to stand up for what we believe in and support causes that mean something to us. I will try to carry these learned lessons with me throughout my life and hope that others do so as well. Happy Birthday Gregory Peck and thank you!

Long Walk
Today I went out for a walk to apply for a few jobs and it actually turned out to be really nice. The weather is beautiful today and the tree's are in full bloom making for some pretty nice scenery. On my way home I stopped by the Philly Pretzel Factory to pick up some delicious pretzels :) Hope everyone has a great day!

Friends
Everybody has friends, some people have good friends, but only a select few people have best friends. I personally do not have a best friend. I am bringing up the topic of friendship because I watched one of my favorite movies this weekend; Tombstone. Now when most people think about movies featuring best friends, they probably do not think of Tombstone, but they should. I watched this movie for the first time when I was about 4 years old, and have watched it about 100 times since :) The characters Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp proved to me that if you find a true and loyal friend, you should hold on to that person because you will never find anyone else like them. Watching this movie growing up made me set some pretty high standards for any of my potential friends, standards which I still hold today. (Maybe this is why I don't have many friends, lol). So as I search for a best friend I will be reminded of the friendship between these two men.
ACM Awards
So the ACM Awards were last night and they did not disappoint. The show was amazing and the performances were phenomenal. What I love about country music award shows is that they really focus on the performers, many other award shows are boring because they only have a few performers and rely on the hosts to carry the rest of the show. Reba and Blake were great and they were funny, but the entire show did not fall on their shoulders which is why I think it was so successful in my opinion. I love country music and this show was all about country music and it's biggest and brightest stars. I wish that I had TiVo so I could re-watch it over and over :)
