Splashing In Puddles of Sand

A LOT LIKE LOVE

I watched the movie 'A lot like love' on the plane home the other day. It was one of those movies I hadn't really heard about but it looked cute and Andy had been obsessed with seeing it so I watched it. I fell in love. The cheesy hollywood romance was painted perfectly to go straight to the soul of fellow hopless romantics and give them a glimpse of hope and help with the realization that things like this DO happen (at least in the movies), and as a hopless romantic on the inside, cynic on the outside that was enough to renew my hope in the power of love in this universe...at least for a few days.

So after that little spasm of renewed hope in the existence of love I downloaded the Soundtrack. I dont even know where to start! It just fills me with that love feeling again and again. I know how soppy this sounds, I actually cant believe I am still typing. I need to stop myself. I had to add on Bon Jovi's 'I'll be there for you' to the soundtrack...I cant believe they didnt include it..Ashton's little rendition was so cute! Jet show a totally new side to themselves in their song Look What You've Done (compared to them screaming 'are you gonna be my girl') which now interests me...I must see what else they can sound like. Seriously, if you download one song in your life, let it be this one.

So I guess I need a point for this entry. If you're a hopeless romantic then rent the movie, download the soundtrack (do people still buy cds?), and let your vision be changed. Because that is what love does right, it blurs your vision. That's what the movie does. I guess 'a lot like love' works really well as a title.

Today I'm gonna go find a way to make myself feel the 'in love' feeling without the heart ache, the headaches and the inevitable suffering. If only I could find something a lot like love...
