Gabriel
Some time ago, I had seen a movie for sale at WalMart. The synopsis on the box sounded so interesting that i seriously considered buying the movie till my frugal side kicked in and I put the DVD down. However, I was so hooked I decided to look up a spoiler online and find out what happened. Months later and I found the movie in a local redbox. $1 for a movie sounded alot better than the $7 price on the sticker at WalMart.
Having read the spoiler; I knew the point to the story and was intent on following till the end. What I didn't count on was how important it was that I had rear a spoiler. The plot limped along to the big reveal at the end that felt very anticlimatic as the last Arcangel of light battled the remaing Arc of the fallen.
Had I not read the spoiler I would have had much trouble following this movie to the end. The big reveal was my main motivation for following this shadowy symbolism of good versus evils in a world of dispair. Yet, the reveal was not as exciting as I had imagined. The intent of this movie was great philosophically speaking but there was alot lacking in the execution.
In short, I'm very glad I Redboxed this film. Otherwise, I would have been out $7 along with the 2 hours of my life I lost.

Pin Pricks
I use to love sewing until I no longer had time to work on things like quilts. There was something calming about working on a project and watching it take shape before my eyes. However, there was a downside to sewing. That was pin pricks.
Some people used thimbles whenever they did needlework. This would keep one from accidently hitting their thumb when they were sewing. I was never one for thimbles outside of a game of Monopoly. As such, it would not be unusual for me to get a little careless and before I knew it, I would be stabbed by a needle or a pin.
A prick from a needle is really small. Usually, no blood will fall from a pin prick. But that doesn't take away from the actual pain in the moment. For the most part, the most painful thing about a pin prick is the initally shock of the unexpected. Unless, someone is not to bright and actually sets out to feel the pain of being pole by a needle, there is usually an element of surprise with regards to the little stab. Once that shock is gone the pain subsides...usually.
Those who sew on a regular basis will develop callouses that will act as biological thimbles. I never sewed enough to develop callouses and I never wanted them.
Somethings in life are like pin pricks. They're not really big deals but they hurt in the moment. Go through enough pain and you can develop callouses that will harden you to the pain. However, callouses can harden you to no only pain but keep you from enjoying love.
So, in dealing with pin pricks. Know that although the pain may be a little more than an annoyance, this will subside in a moment.

Whose the President?
I overheard this little exchange at dinner.
Girl: Why is everybody mad at Bush?
*Blank Stares*
Guy: Bush?
Girl: Oh, I mean Obama....
_____
Yes, Obama is the President. I mean someone could take the time to tell her why people were mad at Bush, but I believe they were into the last 5 minutes of their 15 minute break.

Sick...again
Just when I thought I was getting better, my nose kept itching. Then came the runny nose, now the cough. I hate summer colds and this one is not letting go.
