500 Days of Positivity

My wife informed me that the blog has been awfully negative the last couple of days...and she's 100% right. So I promise this posting is going to be all happy, no griping. Besides, what's not to be happy about? The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the markets have been kicking butt these last couple of days and I'm feeling good!

(500) Days of Summer was one of the best movies I've seen in a VERY long time. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and say that it was the 2nd best movie I've seen this summer (The Hangover is still tops). As expected, Zooey Deschanel was amazing as the enigmatically captivating Summer and Joseph Gordon-Levitt was perfect as head-over-heels in love Tom. Don't get it twisted though, as the tag line says: This isn't a Love Story; This is a Story About Love. It's a story that examines and breaks down the silly cliches of the normal romance movies. It's a funny, artful, whimsical and at times poignant look at the obstacle course that is relationships. Overall, this film does what so many "romantic comedies" fail to do, which is grasp real life love and relationships. That's why this film deserves the perfect rating of A. I suggest everyone sees it, you won't be disappointed. (500) Days of Summer is rated PG13 for Language and a bit of Sexual Content.

About the Song Du Jour: "Stand Out" The Goofy Movie

We can all connect with Max's dilemma in this classic movie from Disney. He's crushin on this girl, who doesn't even know he's alive and he will do anything for her to notice him. We've all been there before. So if there's someone special out there, remember Powerline's infamous mantra from Stand Out, "Til mine is the only face you see I'm gonna stand out, til you notice me!"

Much love Utah County, be happy, be positive and come back tomorrow for more blogalicious sunshine! Peace.
