Mr. Nice Guy

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
People don't keep journals for themselves. They keep them for other people, like a secret they don't want to tell, but want everyone to know.

Antwone Fisher: Another great movie on my list of movies. This is a good movie to watch. It had a good storyline and was very touching. It brought tears welling up in my eye, but I learned how to push away my tears. Mainly because this was a movie dealing with family issues and those kind of movies or T.V. Shows hit me in the heart, personally. Antwone FIsher was a kid who was born in jail, by his mom, and was given up to foster care. He then experienced many hardships with his foster parents. He joined the navy and started causing trouble there. He sees the psychologist and builds a relatiopnship with him. Also building a relationship with a girl who works at the bookstore. After changing and bettering himself, he goes on a quest to find his family. I liked this movie a lot! I highly recommend it to you all!!!

This movie hit close to home...I could understand a little about what Antwone Fisher was experiencing, but he experienced much more and worse. It was good how he found his family and everything. It seems like I am trying to discover myself, and trying to find my family. I have this huge gap that needs to be filled up with a family. The only difference is that I have my family right next to me. They are here, I see them everyday of my life..but then why do I still feel empty?!?!?!

Today was very exciting. Today I spent most of my time out...which is a miracle, but I am living up to what I want to accomplish. Be more social, and go out more. Well, the day started with me going to the movies with my mother, grandmother, and brother. We saw Antwone Fisher. After the movie, Lena had a party, and invited me to go. Personally, I would not have gone, but since I want to be more socialible, and to go out more, I decided to go. Well, when I went there with my brother, I saw my Indie Buddies there and spent the whole time with them and other people upstairs in Lena's room. It was cool spending time with Phimy, Pauline, Hao, Chi, Linda, and Anna. We decided to leave the party early, but not after spending some time eating cake and chatting downstairs. My brother left, and I did not want to go home yet, so I went with Phimy, Pauline, and Hao. We went to Little Hut(corrected by Pauline...thanks buddy) and they showed me their sanctuary. They had their pictures on the wall, framed, blown up, etc. It was really cozy. The decor was cool, very comfortable. I like it, so I think I shall transfer from Lollicup/Tapioca Express to Little(Tea) Hut. Just maybe, well I probably will if I hang out with my Indie Buddies more often.
After getting a smoothie and chatting some more, we decided to go browse through Hollywood. We went to Amoeba (a music store...a gigantic music store) and looked at CD's for a while. Pauline wanted to find all the CD's released by Nine Days, hao was just browing, and I was trying to find Eyedea. Nine Day was pretty much all gone, and Eyedea was not there. Grrr... but we are going to go back some other time. We then went to Hollywood and Highland and went to a place that sells tourist maps to the stars homes. We browsed through it and looked at the many maps and stuff. In the end we finally decided to buy one and Pauline and I memorized the addresses to the Brady Bunch House and the Happy Days House. After we got our tourist map, we drove to see the Brady's house. When we got there we were going to take a picture of us standing in front of it. It was so cool. It was like seeing the house that we grew to love in the Brady Bunch T.V. Show. Hao and I were up first, but like there were people taking a walk, so like we freaked and like pretended we lost our cat..."Meow Meow"...haha..when the people were far enough away, Hao and I went back and Pauline took our picture in front of the Brady Bunch house. Then Pauline and Phimy posed and Hao took their picture. We then returned home. And that was the day that I would like to call The Miscapades of Pham, Phi, Hao, and Me.
