i gave in tonight and watched benny and joon... amy loves it, and it's not that i didn't want to see it - i just hadn't... so i rented it the night before last, and i did like it... i like johnny depp differently than most girls i know... i don't really find him attractive at all, but in his roles, i find him gripping - i don't know if that's a good word or if it makes sense... but to explain further - i recently saw finding neverland... he made j.m. barrie come alive in my mind... in benny and joon, i found myself drawn to his character... i wanted to know someone like sam... i want a sam in my life - someone who is able to be a rescuer by making me smile and laugh... i definititely underestimated how much i'd actually like this movie... it's not automatically one of my favites, but it was more than enjoyable... and i love the music in it... i'm gonna be (500 miles) by the proclaimers is a song i love, (there is other GREAT music throughout the movie, too...) so i appreciated it in the context of the movie tonight... (and sadly enough, i think i realized i like steven curtis chapman's version of it better than the proclaimers... i know... tragedy!) i felt like posting the lyrics, so i am...
I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)originally by the Proclaimers
When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
Proclaimers version:
If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
Steven's version:
When I'm lonely well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man whose lonely without you
When I'm dreaming well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
(instrumental)
When I'm dreaming well I know I'm gonna dream

And when I go out well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
When I come home yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
I'll be at your door
oh - random sidenote at the end of my post - i got my grade for my final project in theology (the photography project that i posted a couple of weeks ago) - i got a 100% on it... i've never gotten a perfect score on a final project... i shared with him how much i appreciated his freedom in allowing us to choose projects that are meaningful to us... and overall, he was impressed with our work... it was a win-win situation, so i get to do something else fun this semester!!!

yes...great movie. you know that i love johnny depp.
another great song from that movie is john hiatt - have a little faith. i think i put it on a cd i made you, but i could be wrong.
uh...i didn't even know SCC had a remake of that song. weird.
congrats on the grade. it's easy to do well on something you love.
Just wanted to say congrats on the grade. You'll have to post those pictures on here because I would really like to see the photo project and I know the rest of the world wants to see too.
I was on Amy's blog and decided to use the handy dandy link to check out yours.
Yeah, when did SCC remake the song, I haven't heard it.
Oh, one more thing before I go, I was reading the little thing under your picture and you said something that I have been trying to say, but didn't know how to say it... the thing about staying extremely busy even though you are a slacker. I can't figure that out because I am always doing a lot and I am always on the go yet at the same time I am a huge slacker. Things that make you go hmmmm.
jeremy?? no kidding... i feel honored... a comment on my blog! i posted my photo project on my blog... the entry is on 2/16...
scc recut the song a while ago... it was when i was in college sometime... it's on a cd "all about love"... all love songs, either by scc or recut by him... it's a pretty cheesy cd, but it has some redeeming songs on it...
yeah, i'm busy all the time... or it feels like it, but slacker is in my nature! are you saying you identify with me? that we are the same in this? confusion!
Yes I totally relate. I am always on the go doing this and that and people are like you are a busy man, what do you do? I don't know how to respond because I do a lot, but I still stay so far behind. I don't understand. Maybe it is all in making priorities which I need to do. I need a secretary. But here is also something I have figured out - the smaller the church the less you get paid and the more work you do. The bigger the church the more you get paid and the less you have to do. But I'm not complaining I LOVE being a pastor of a small church, but hopefully we won't be small for long.
i have decided i need a personal assistant... good observation about the church thing... my pastor doesn't get paid anything for being a pastor - but he works for the baptist assocation and gets paid by them...
