I saw Dirty Pretty Things on Friday. Freakin powerful movie. But it gave me courage. If people as disenfranchised as these characters can change thier lives, then so can I. I can stop letting life and it's "rules" push me into a safe and dead place. But there's more to this than just a movie. I believe in the seemingly obvious principle that people are what matter in this life. It is the people God places in our lives from which so much happiness flows. We often don't realize it, . . . untill they're gone, . . . or until we read Microserfs by Douglas Coupland. Or both. So on Monday I give my two-week's notice, and (God help me) Arkansas here I come. I need to be with my muse again.
