Movie Help 2

I am adding to my list of movies to watch or not to watch.

1. While You Were Sleeping - Funny but does have some suggestive language.

2. Win A Date With Tad Hamilton - Also very funny but again it contains suggestive language.

3. The Devil Wears Prada - Seen it soooooo many times but I abolutly LOVE it!

4. The Tourist - Hilarious!! - It does use the "F" word so if you are sensitve to language then maybe watch it with someone who has already seen it so that they can mute the sound at those points.

5. Mao's Last Dancer - Really good movie! Its not funny but the dancing is really good.

Quick question, has anyone seen The Chaos Theory, According to Greta, Raising Arizona, or Lost In Translation?

Even heroes fall down

And mountains won't last forever

But Your promise never fails



When the ocean is raging

I find stillness in Your presence

And I lift my voice to say

'Jesus take me away!



[CHORUS]

Carry me on your back

Through the storm, Lord!

Carry me on your back

Through the storm, Lord! '



When the furnace is burning

I know rescue is coming

Your promise never fails



In the darkness Your light shines

Breaking over the horizon

And I lift my eyes to see

Heaven's fighting for me



[CHORUS]

'Carry me on your back

Through the storm, Lord!

Carry me on your back

Through the storm, Lord! '



Waking up in the arms of love

I'll be singing, singing a new song

Waking up in the arms of love

I'll be singing, singing a new song



Carry me on your back

Through the storm, Lord!

Carry me on your back

Through the storm, Lord!


This is one of my newest favorite songs by Leeland called Carry Me On Your Back.
It makes me think of the eagle's wings covering her young. I like to be reminded of things because i do forget and doubt. This reminds me God is here, carrying me. Sorry for complaining about life recently, I am going to remove that post as soon as I have posted this one.

Love you guys lots!

Life became a little bit better. We got a kitten!! My dad brought her home from work because he was scared she was going to be run over. She is a tortoise shell and she has this cute little patch of white on her tummy that makes it look like she's wearing a nappy. We are thinking of naming her Tiggamooi ( she jumps like Tigger and she is pretty so Mooi which means beautiful in Afrikaans). We are becoming moe used to everything now so it's not THAT bad anymore. I still can't stand the internet or the ants that descend on everything outside the fridge. My parents and I are planning to play tennis tomorrow and maybe make Melk Tert ( this is one of my family's favorite desserts). Miss you all alot!!

Yesterday I landed in the quite different island of Indonesia. In my short time here I have discovered that I like it very much!! It is warm but not as hot as what I expected ( I am not sweating/ glowing so its not so bad). The people are very friendly even if they can't understand you and visa verse. The etiquette is complicated and I am very confused about what I am supposed to do and not do, for instance greeting with the right hand only and not showing your shoulders,etc.Traffic is hectic! There are a million and one motorcycles who drive anywhere they want to and don't look where they are going! I would not want to drive here at all!! I went to the mall today and was quite surprised to find out that they have a christian music shop here!! The store sells most of the popular christian bands and local ones as well. I have a feeling that I am going to enjoy living here.

Hello there!! I miss my internet soooooo much! I won't be able to be "The Thinker" in this post ( yes I know, it's so sad!). Just wanted to leave something for you to read so you don't have to read the same post over and over. It may not be exciting but it is at least something! And it is also evidence that the cow jumping over the moon doesn't post more than me! I hope I'll be able to post more regularly but for now I am saying goodbye!!

Oh and by the way, I did not post this at 11:15 pm ( incase you were wondering what I was doing awake at such an hour. If you weren't then just forget i mentioned it)

I'm back to my computer after what seems like forever!! In my absence I have glimpsed absolutely nothing except for clouds and some of the complexity of human behaviour and life. Looking at the rest of the people around me I can safely say that they are some of the hardest subjects to study. Being one of them doesn't help me at all. One of the things that are slightly mystifying to me is our complete oblivion to the way we treat others. I know that not everyone does this but it seems to me that we can see the splinter in someone else's eye but not the log in our own. I am not a specialist in human behaviour but I have my hunches to why this happens to even the best of us. Here are some of them:

1. We want to see the worst in others to make us feel better about ourselves ( like in bullying cases)

2. We can't handle the fact that the average person is not better than the average person and that we really need to treat others the same as what we would treat ourselves.

3. We convince ourselves that whatever we are doing or not doing is different to what another person is doing or not doing, when actually they are in the same category.

I have now run out of hunches and my Internet meter is running wild. On this note I bid you farewell and hopefully I will be back soon with something more exciting than this.

P.S. Please tell me if I said something wrong or misinforming in the post. It will be greatly appreciated!!

Security Shield warning

Does anyone know anything about Security Shield? it appeared on my computer a couple of days ago and I can't get rid of it. Any ideas would be most welcomed!! I just want to take a minute to warn all of my followers ( all two of you!!) not to download anything that has to do with Security Shield as it is extremely annoying and could be harmful to your health and the health of the computer ( as it makes you so mad you would give anything to throw your computer across the room).

Movie Help

These past couple of weeks I watched a million and one movies!! I now have a pretty god idea of what movies are worth watching and which ones aren't. i have decided to make a list to help you , next time you go to the DVD store, to pick the right movie.




1.Flipped - This movie is a "girl meets boy" kind of movie. There is no swearing, no inappropriate content ( except for some suggestive language) and has good humor.


2. Believe In Me - Sporty, funny and family friendly. If you like good triumphing over bad, inspiring, or based on real life event genres then this would be a really good movie to watch!


3. Secondhand Lions - Funny, no vulgar language and has a good plot. Adventure , romance and some mystery all mixed in one great movie!!

4. RV - Family friendly and very funny!!

5. Johnny English - This is hilarious!! Only has one scene that has some suggestive language.

6. The gods must be crazy - Also very funny and quite appropriate. Worst scene is were someone is getting undressed and you see them in their underwear but that is it.

7. The gods must be crazy 2 - Family friendly and funny!!

8. Yours, mine, and ours - Makes you laugh but has some suggestive language and kissing.

9. Leap Year - Puts a smile on your face but has serious kissing ( only on one spot) and has suggestive language that might not be appropriate for children under 13.

10. Any of the Chronicles of Narnia - Adventurous and funny without being over the top.


Movies that should be off limits:


1. Georgia Rules - Extreme sexual content and swearing.


2. Just one of the guys - Extreme sexual content.


3. Greenfingers - Alot of swearing and inappropriate content.

For now these are some of the movies I would recomend to/not to watch. I hope this was useful and that you enjoy your next movie!
