2K Turkey Trot!


Wow! I am starting to feel a lot better about everything around me. My exercise program is getting a lot better. I am going to enter the 2K Turkey Trot in Huntsville, Al. I have no idea about a 2K or a 5K but I was challenged to do something. I want to see if I can accomplish this goal. The last few years, I have been setting some goals. The key thing is to accomplish the small task toward the larger ones. You can accomplish anything in life with the right attitude and spirit. You may get a little distract by some other people in your life but you will need to block them out to focus a bit more. I have a few more weeks to get myself into pretty good shape. I know that I am not going to break any records in this turkey trot. I just need to finish something. It is really easy to start something but you need to finish things at all causes. Roll Tide Roll!

Comfort

"Most people will choose comfort over challenges in their lives."

I love comfort like the next person in life but I need more in my life. We need challenges in our lives to keep moving. We have to look at various ways to overcome certain aspects in my life. I guess, it is really easy to look for comfort in our lives. Sometimes, we aren't willing to put in the effort to accomplish our goals in life. We want various degrees of comfort in our lives but we must challenge ourselves to bigger goals in our lives. If, you look at Maslow hierarchy of needs. Comfort is one thing in our lives that we are willing to keep with us. We really need to take a leap out of our nest because we need to soar like Eagles. Eagles are very hard on themselves and they have a lot of discipline in their lives. They are willing to sacrifice a lot of things to accomplish their goals in life. It is okay to maintain your comfort level but we must keep pushing and opening new doors in our lives.

We will look at challenges in our lives then we will look at all the obstacles in our way. We will need to look at the finish product and we need to stay focus on our goal. Keep the spirit of an Eagle. Don't waste time pecking around like a chicken. As long as you have hope, you will not be ablr to give up.

Never Give Up




I have started to read this book by Joyce Meyers called Never Give Up. Never Give Up has really sparked something inside of me. I was reading a section about the differences in certain species of nature. I was struggling with certain things in my life. I have a strong sense that I should be doing something different in my life. I was wondering about myself because I am always looking around for new challenges in my life. This book has really open my eyes to new things in life. I am going to continue to read this book to help with a lot of great things in my life.

Be more like a Eagle in your life.

The Proposal



I went to the movies this week to watch the film The Proposal. This was a last minute selection from my girlfriend. It was either The Proposal or Up. I let her pick the movie because it is a lot easier this way. Sometimes, it is worth losing the battle to win the war in the end.

Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is the executive editor-in-chief of a book publishing company, Colden Books, who forces her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her in order to avoid being deported to Canada. He grudgingly accepts, under the condition that he is promoted to the position of editor. When the government investigates, the two are forced to spend the weekend with his parents in Alaska in order to sell the lie. The family suggest they could marry the same weekend, and they reluctantly accept. They start to fall genuinely in love as they spend more and more time together. Because of this, during the wedding ceremony, Margaret decides she cannot do this to Andrew and confesses the business arrangement in front of everyone--including the immigration officer handling their case. She is then told that she has 24 hours to get back to Canada, and thus goes back to New York to pack her things. Upon doing so, however, Andrew shows up at the office and confesses his love for her in front of the entire office staff, proposing marriage all over again.

When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

Then, the scene starts to change from New York to Alaska in which her assistant Andrew Paxton is originally from this small town in Alaska. She discovers that her assistant parents are well off to do. They have a lot of business in the local town. They are trying to hide that they are really engaged. They have a few holes in their stories. Her assistant is like the prince of the town. All, the local women have an eye for him. She starts to discover that this small town has a lot of magic to it. She has discover that Andrew is the only child on the family. His mother and grandmother are really into their only child. Sandra Bullock character is really into the big city life and she has a hard time understanding these people. The grandmother has a really liking to her grandsons new bride. She gives her some wonderful gifts that the family has cherish for years.

The Proposal has some wonderful qualities in them such as falling in love, beliefs, and certain family traditions. I love the fact that certain things are passed down to the bride in the family such as wedding dress. It is misleading in some other ways such as lying and cheating the government on the immigration laws. If, you are in the mood for a love story in which it is pretty predicatable but it gets the point across in a certain way. This is a perfect movie to watch with a close someone in your life.

Audio/visual not synchronized: When we hear Andrew's friend yell down to him from the airport tower, "There was nothing I could do," his mouth doesn't move.

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Granny Annie who is celebrating her 90th birthday says she wore the wedding dress when she was pregnant, but also says her mother made the dress in 1929. She would have been ten years old in 1929.
Roll Tide Roll!
