How I feel when I watch Lord of the Rings.
Last night Max and I stayed up late watching Two Towers, I forgot how much I love that movie. To be continued, due to the fact that it is THE LONGEST MOVIE EVER. but I ain’t complaining!!

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.
Went to a play about Woody Gutrhie last night called Woody Sez, at the ART. They wove a bunch of his songs into his life story, including this one right here. I was just about bawling by the end of it. Woody Guthrie had a hard life, but he never stopped believing in the power of song and spread of knowledge to alleviate the heart and mind.
