I justed saw
Garden State. Finally. I've wanted to see this film for a long time and had hoped to see it in the theater, but oh well finally got to see it on DVD. I thought it was amazing. Zach Braff, from Scrubs, wrote and directed it and stars in it along with Natalie Portman. This film is so cool; it's funny, insightful, challenging, and I think even spiritual. Mostly, it reminded me how much I struggle with contentment. Zach Braff actually says in the DVD commentary that contenment is the theme of the movie. After watching these characters struggle with contentment and seeing how they helped each other find it, I felt greatful to those who have helped me struggle to find contenment and gratitude for life. Thank you Shannon(my wife), Jon, Geoff, Dad, Mom, Aunt Pam, Mike, the other older Mike, April and Bob. Why is contenment so hard? Why does it take so much energy to "let go"? If you struggle with these questions as well, you might appriciate Garden State. And, even if you don't like the movie, you'll at least like the soundtrack. For you blog-a-holics,
Zach Braff even has his own blog with some funny posts.
I realized today that I had never posted a comment on your blog site. I felt good about that because it reminded me how often we get to spend time together. By the time I read your blog, I have nothing new to say. That goes for today as well.
