my exciting news

I promised you some exciting news, right? I also gave the caveat that it was exciting "TO ME" kind of news.... :)



But I am really excited.........



I love, love, LOVE when people get stuff they want. When people get a new car or a new job or a new home--whatever it is that they've wanted for some time, worked for, and then gotten. It's a beautiful thing and I share in every "get stuff" celebration that I can.



That being said--my professor/editor/ friend (whom I've mentioned in here before) is finally getting his thing. The movie he wrote and starred in is done......almost. They're down to needing their final $15,000 for editing.



And it's a funny thing--my support of this movie, I mean. For the most part, I'm a straight-laced, right-winged, country-lovin', God-fearin' kinda girl. ***This movie is about a vet with post-traumatic stress disorder who believes he's being pinned as a terrorist.*** And yet, I am such a believer in the beauty of the combined word and cinematic style that is "Person Of Interest". Of the voice it gives a very real population. It is, essentially, poetry on screen. I put my money where my mouth was and donated to see this film completed.



So, now I'd ask that you PLEASE take 3 minutes and 9 seconds, have a look at the trailer and see what it's all about....if nothing else, at least watch J. Reuben without his shirt on being the cutie-patootie he is :). And maybe, if you're feeling generous, donate a bit. It's linked to Pay Pal, and even $1 would be genius--I promise.



Thanks ladies! I hope you all get 'stuff' soon so I can celebrate with you too :) Happy Monday to ya!

Thats fun to have such a personal interest in something. It makes it exciting when it is somebody you know. I hope it all goes weel for him.

How are you doing? Now that school has started I will probably never get to see you. Call me when you have some free time!

Bummer, my sound isn't working on my computer right now so I can't hear anything from the trailer. So cool that his moving is getting so close to being done.

Hey a funny thing has happened in viewing your blog recently. Their is no field between the background square design and the text. The text is directly over the multi-colored squares and it's really difficult to read. Maybe it's just my computer, but I have not had trouble viewing other blog sites. Just wanted to let you know in case other readers are having the same trouble. Love your writing.
Blessings!

hey other readers--
let me know if anyone is experiencing what Katie is--I'll get my blog fixer to fix it. It looks normal to me, so I don't know....

I'm with you: Seeing friends get their dream is just as good as gettin' my own.

Hi from SITS! Just thought I'd check you out - congrats to your friend!

Shannon said...

yes, the background is missing! shoot me an email and I will take a look. when this happened to another client recently it was because of a third party widget or code addition of some sort. Sometimes to the sidebar, sometimes within a post and sometimes directly within the code. Anything out of the norm that you've added lately?
