laugh or cry

Elder Neal A Maxwell once said, "We are here in mortality, and the only way to go is through; there isn't any around!" I would add ( Sister Hinckley), the only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.

i watched and he slept

at this very moment i am home alone with my second child, isaac.  he has finally been able to take a decent nap... i believe i may attribute his lack of being able to sleep to his noisy older brother, since said older brother is gone... and isaac has managed to stay asleep for two whole hours... you would think isaac would be accustomed to sleeping through the noise, but no... he will not oblige ...
so, of course, i have taken good advantage of this time and cleaned myself and my house... ha ha! right... no... i watched a movie... vanity fair... well, at least i tried to watch it but they kept trying to show me people's bums and etc... and i didn't want to see them... so i gave up and watched the finish... interestingly enough... i cried...i didn't have to watch the whole thing to effectively cry for the heroine at the end... i may take that up and start watching just the beginning and end of a movie... if it gives the same effect and it wastes less of my time then i might as well :)... it could be that Reese is a good actress too... maybe that is why the end was still believable without watching the whole thing... i also know a little bit about the story because i have skimmed through the book...i skimmed the book because somebody told me the story...and i didn't want to get too involved in a book that ends tragically... i, unfortunately, don't just read books or just watch a movie... i have to live the experience with my characters... step into the world and sometimes even their shoes... i cried for days after watching The Phantom of the Opera, tried desperately to be funny like the characters in Ocean's Eleven and Twelve... still trying in fact... weeped inconsolably and wished for powers i did not have when i saw Hotel Rwanda ... searched desperately for platform 9 and 3/4   after seeing Harry Potter... demanded the Second Coming begin when i saw 2012... where are those producers anyway... the list goes on and so do my tears and multiple personalties resulting from watching movies and reading books
