Songs to Remember: Stolen Dance - Milky Chance

        Aw f***, I lost track of time for a bit. I thought today was Saturday or something and I totally forgot to make a post since I slept at 4:30 AM last night. Nope, just me thinking weird again. So here's what i put.

       I stayed up 'till 4:00 AM last night (probably a bit later than that) watching "Boyhood" the 2014 movie. I made the mistake of choosing a 2 and a half hour movie to watch at 1:30 AM, but watching the movie at all wasn't.

        The idea of making a movie over the course of 12 years is pretty crazy. There were some funny parts, some sad parts, and some parts that gave me chills. I could relate to some of the events in the film, as well as learn some stuff. Spoilers in the next paragraph.

        Like the scene where Mason was talking to his photography teacher and how his teacher sees potential in him, but that Mason lacks ambition. And the way he treats his parents, even after going through all that (and that was A LOT) I reflect on that and I'm like "Damn". Now I know it's just a film, but it seems so real.

        The characters were real cool and developed, I really liked Ethan Hawke's acting in this (and not because he was in The Purge). The ending, now that was a weird one in my opinion (spoilers for the rest of this paragraph). It's just Mason and that one girl whom I don't remember her name, sitting with each other, having friends close by and just, "in the moment", heh. It's just awkward silence and then cuts to black. I was like "Oh that's the ending". I think they were just caught up in the moment, that's why they didn't say anything. I don't know, very surprising ending though.

        It was a 2 and a half hour movie. Umm, I give it a 9/10. Okay, a 9.5/10, just because of the songs featured in the film. They used songs from like, the year they were filming, so from that you could tell when it was. Like, Phoenix's "1901", Brittney Spears, High School Musical, oh man I love it. The whole movie had a bit of everything, was meaningful to me, so, 9.5/10. I just didn't like the uh, I don't know. That's it. I don't know what I don't like, and that's what I don't like. So, 9.5/10.

        And good thing I remembered and reminded myself. It's about 10 posts after my 500th post! Now I don't remember if I actually said anything about it in a previous post, but considering it's 10 posts ago and I wrote about nothing for these posts so far, I probably forgot. So, here it is. It's been over 500 posts, 500, since I started this whole thing. That's like a year and a half of just a post a day. And it all started in December of 2013 at my grandmother's house I think. Well, eh, yeah I guess. Hmmm, yeah, I was bored.

        And guess what? I'm going to LA to my grandmother's house tomorrow, starting with a bus ride at 8:00 AM, yay. But yeah, it's incredible I've kept this up so far. It's a lot of work and writing, but most of it is leisure so I wouldn't want to call it work. It still doesn't make me like English class anymore, don't get me wrong, heh. Oh did you hear that? Fireworks, baby. Happy America day! WOOO!

        Now if you'll excuse me, I have some important business to attend to, specifically YouTube videos and sleep. So, see you tomorrow.
