Shalom!

I would love to know why it is that who I am sexually attracted to in real life is not at all who my subconscious is attracted to in sleep. I mean I've lusted a few times over Clive Owen, Gael Garcia Bernal, James Mcavoy... but no, not in my sleep. My first sexual dream that I can remember was with Billy Crystal. That's right, I said Billy Crystal. He was wearing a red plaid flannel shirt tucked tightly into his snug stonewashed jeans. I walked into this cabin looking house and there was taxidermy on the wall and a roaring fire and Billy Crystal standing in the middle of the room. And the dream went something like this, I jumped up into his arms wrapped my legs around his waist and we kissed passionately I mean it was a deep kiss, while he kept squeezing and running his hands allover my ass. Next thing I know I'm waking up having an orgasm. I was only 15 when I had this dream. I know! It's horrible!!! My next famous person sex dream was with Woody Allen. Basically the same thing, different scenario. Well last night I had another sex dream but this was with some no namer, just someone my brain made up while I slept unsuspecting. He was short, and he had dark eyes, black hair, and I'm pretty sure he was Jewish. And let me tell you it was a good dream. I think what my Subconscious is trying to tell me is that I am sexually attracted to short Jewish men. La'Chayim!

What took me so long?

Many years ago I would have turned my nose from listening to Ben folds. But last night I was browsing some photography blogs that I love, and I heard this song. I didn't know who it was I was listening to. So I searched the words on google, and I couldn't believe it, It was Ben Folds. It may be an old song but I have found a new respect for Ben folds, and he has I'm sure found a new fan. What has happened to me? It's so Beautiful, it's killing me.

Last night while I was digging around in my closet I noticed my mom's guitar tucked away in the blackness of the abyss I call my closet. I pulled it out and and tried to play but I couldn't, I haven't played a guitar in 12 years and even then I wouldn't have called it "playing", but more like learning. I think I have a learning disability when it comes to guitars and I think it's partly due to the fact that my pinkie and ring finger can't seem to work independently. Which leads me to the jealousy I feel for almost everyone in my family. Everyone can play at least one instrument with the exception of me and Josh(brother). My mother plays guitar, piano and sings. My dad plays drums. My grandpa plays mandolin, guitar, banjo, piano. He even cut a record back in the early 50's. My cousin Adam plays oboe, pipe organ, and piano. My other cousin Jess, she plays banjo and guitar. Every single one of them play by ear. Curses! I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me. But that wont keep from trying. The guitar is missing two strings, so tomorrow I'm going to find some, tune it, pick a song, learn it, and then post a video blog of me playing. Any requests?

Just Swell

Thought I would post one more today before I motor. I dare you to watch this video and feel melancholy. I think I've listened to this 5 times today.

Moving Pictures

I need to get busy on my movie watching before the Oscars. I only have a little over 3 weeks to cram in all the nominated movies.(excluding short films and documentary short subjects.) Here's a list of 2008 movies that I've watched.

1. Be Kind Rewind. I love me some Michel Gondry.
2. Let the Right One In. If you haven't seen this, Stop what your doing and go watch.
3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. This movie was probably my favorite movie of 2008. It was like watching a 3 hour poem. Although I thought the CGI was a little rough. And why did they use a different actor when he became a child, they should of just used some of that CGI magic.
4.Slumdog Millionaire
5.Vicki Christina Barcelona. Oh Woody you never do me wrong except for that time you made that one film. What was it called? Oh yes, Curse of the Jade Scorpion. But we all can't be perfect all of the time.
6.Pineapple Express. This movie hands down has one the funniest endings of a movie that I've ever seen.
7.The Wrestler
8.Wanted
9.Ghost Town
10.The Dark Knight
11.Indiana Jones
12.W

I had a dream once.

But it just got me in a lot of trouble. It was my freshman year of high school. I was waiting outside of my parents house for my boyfriend to pick me up for school. I was stressed out about getting another tardy since I seemed to accumulated a lot of them after I met Mike and he became my form of transportation instead of the ol' faithful school bus. Finally I heard the busted muffler coming around the corner. I get into his beat up Nissan 300zx. He pops in a cassette tape of John Lennon's Imagine and informs me we are going to celebrate MLK day the right way. He had a copy of the I have a dream speech, and told me we were going to make 200 copies of the speech and go to the whitest parts of town and drop the speech into peoples mail boxes hoping that they would read his speech and surly if they even had one racist bone in there body it magically disappear. This is what we did. We were sure that it would make a difference. Maybe it did. We skipped the whole day of school and when I got home I was grounded. Me telling my parents that I had dream did not get me out of this one.

Hail Satan?

That's it! I'm changing my blog name. It has come to my attention on more than one occasion that the title of my blog reads a little too churchy. Truth is I am not very good with titles, and Listina's CHRists sounded better than Christina's Lists. What do I know, like I said I suck at the whole title thing. So, if anyone has any suggestions feel free to share. I was thinking maybe, Word Of Life.
