Here is a song by the Killers that I just felt like sharing. Thanks to luisinhan on youtube.

The movie was great. I loved the story of Bella and Edward. I loved watching Edward’s struggle between loving and killing Bella. It was such a bizarre twist to a romance story.

I didn’t really get into the books at first. I was in Walmart and came across the first book in the series and decided that it might be worth the $8 it cost me. The book made me fall in love with the series. I haven’t been able to put them down. Right now I’m on “New Moon” but almost finished. I’ll be reading “Eclipse” shortly after that since I bought it as a Christmas present for myself.

It is hard to compare a book to a movie. The book is always more detailed, and you can use your imagination more. But the actors become the characters to you. I still imagine Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart when I read the books.

I do have a few quams with the story. Bella needs to man up, atleast in the books. She acts and is treated like a paper doll. Her character is tougher in the movies. She also needs some self esteem. Yes he’s the love of her life, but she’s only 17. There will be others, atleast in reality there would be. Men come and go.

I hope that the teenage audience can tell the difference between reality and fantasy and realize that life doesn’t have to revolve around a boy. But we are human and sometimes we do just what these characters do. We metaphorically jump off cliffs for the ones we love. We stare down danger to save them if we must.

“Breaking Dawn” seems like a daunting task as the book is over 700 pages. But I’m not there yet. For now I’m going to enjoy the fantasy that Stephanie Meyers has created and see where it goes.

Warning: Work at home jobs are rare. They only exist in certain areas such as medical coding and billing, freelance writing, and a few others. But these opportunities require actual work and skill. Don’t fall for anything that asks you to pay for information that you can find online for free yourself. Be wary of anything stating “work at home”.

The video is about an older man reflecting on the biggest mistake of his life – the night he killed a man.  He is returning home after decades away from home and his sweetheart.

The editing is dead on.  It flips back and forth in time so fast that you aren’t sure which era you were looking at.  I thought the beginning exposition and the “fairytale” ending could have been left out.  I would have preferred the video end at him looking in the window and his old flame is about to open the door.  But I’d rather not see the embrace.  Leave it to the imagination. 

Maybe Flowers isn’t much of an actor and that is why he usually doesn’t play major parts in the videos.  The only one that he played a major role in is “Mr. Brightside.”   Even though he is the focus on many other Killers videos, he plays a performer, not a character in the video. I think this video would have been better if he played the young man who was sent to jail.

Here is the video for“A Dustland Fairytale” by the Killers

Can’t get anything past him

Damn it’s hot down here.

Formerly nothing

in my mind did speak of it

Now a kanundrum.

Went on the old dirt trail

to see a man in pale blue

Turned back far too soon.
