Recommendation of the week

16 Blocks

Went and saw 16 Blocks yesterday. I was surprised at how good it was. The movie stars Bruce Willis as JackMosley, an over the hill NYC cop who is given an assignement to take a prisoner (Eddie Bunker played by Mos Def) 16 blocks from the police station to the courthouse so he can testify before a grand jury. The trouble is that Eddie is supposed to testify against some cops and they don't want him to make it. When Mosley turns on his former partner to protect the life of Eddie he too finds himself on the run. The movie is rate PG-13 for violence and language.

Worth the hassle

So my roommates and I usually go around and visit friends on Sunday after church. Last semester we started visiting a new apartment on the east side of campus. There girls there seemed pretty cool and it was a highlight of the week to visit them. As the weekly visits continued I started to have a little interest in one girl in particular. It wasn't anything serious she just seemed like a fun person and I wanted to get to know her better.

So finally we were able to get together and go do something. It was pretty fun but I wasn't getting much of a vibe from her. I found out from her roommate that she was being distant because she didn't want me to get the wrong idea.

Ok, thanks for thinking of me. I mean I was pretty sure after our one date we'd fall madly in love and be engaged that day. Oh wait, I asked you out simply because I thought you were cool and wanted to get to know you better. Now I'm thinking I made a serious error in judgement. I don't understand why here in Rexburg two people of the opposite sex can't be friends. It must be because of that blasted thing called eternal prospective (aka tunnel vision).

The thing that makes me mad is that now when I run into her on campus I feel weird because I don't want her to think that I'm looking for more than I really am. Why should I feel awkward because she can't handle a friendship.

I'm almost to the point that I'd say it's not worth the hassle.
