Why I dont Want Kids Anytime soon..


Reason #29: If old Tom Sawyer/Old Yeller/Swiss Family type movies have taught me anything, it’s that little boys carry a frog in their pocket. Where did that start, and more importantly, where does it end?

Where I'd rather be..


I wish we lived in a more barter-based society, because while I don’t have the money for such nice environs, the amount of personal time and work I’d be willing to trade would be more than fair.

25 Heart Touching Real Short Stories

Here’s a selection of 25 short stories recently submitted to one of the sites called, Makes Me Think, that not only made me think, but touched my heart n soul, I hope they do the same for you. These are real stories submitted by random people  Enjoy. Comment if you want to share or like.




1. Today, I operated on a little girl that was in a car accident. She desperately needed O- blood, which is a bit rare. We didn’t have any available, but her twin brother was at the hospital who had O- blood. I explained to him that it was a matter of life and death – that his sister needed his blood. He sat quietly for a moment, and then said goodbye to his parents. I didn’t think anything of it until after we took the blood we needed and he asked, “So when will I die?” He thought he was giving his life for hers. Thankfully, they’ll both be fine. MMT

2. Today was the tenth anniversary of my little sister’s death. She died in a car accident when we were both teenagers. I’m 26 now and think about her all the time. This evening, after a rough day, I was sitting on my bed, staring at her picture on my nightstand when a sudden gust of wind blasted through my bedroom window for a few seconds, blowing my sister’s photo off my nightstand, directly into my lap. MMT
3. Today, I was sitting on the subway, exhausted, in a horrible mood. Lately I just haven’t been happy. I’ve been struggling with my weight, my job, and life in general. About 15 minutes into the subway ride, the elderly lady across from me got up, moved next to me, and said, “You’re beautiful. I’m not joking. I was thinking it, and I wanted you to know.” I smiled, thanked her and asked, “Do you usually complement strangers?” “When I was your age, a woman my age sat next to me on a train. Her compliments saved me from doing something stupid. And today, I’m returning the favor.” MMT
4. Today, it’s been exactly 15 years since we parted ways after we had a fling during a family camping trip in Wyoming. He gave me his home phone number before we left, but I lost it. This was before Google and Facebook. It was harder to find people back then, and I didn’t even know his last name. But 5 years ago, when I first opened my Facebook account in college, I connected with a few friends, and it turned out we had a mutual friend the whole time. He recognized my photo, contacted me and the rest is history. We’ve been married for 3 years now. MMT
5. Today at the beach, I ran into my old boyfriend from high school who I haven’t seen in 8 years. We broke up because his dad was in the military and had to move to the east coast. They moved away during our junior year in high school, and we kept in touch for awhile, but eventually lost touch. I recognized him from a distance because he was wearing a tye-dye shirt we made together for a summer beach party when we were sophomores. The kicker: I was wearing my matching tye-dye shirt, which I haven’t worn in years. We hung out the entire day and have a date this evening. MMT
6. Today, my wife still wears the bracelet I made for her when we were in the 5th grade. MMT
7. Today, my younger brother turned 7. He has severe mental disabilities that prevent him from talking properly. It takes him a long time to study a word and get it right. In fact, there are only 12 words he can say properly. One of them is my name. MMT
8. Today, I have purchased more flowers for daughter’s grave than I did for HER while she was alive. MMT
9. Today, my boyfriend’s (and best friend’s) parents became my official legal guardians, 3 months after my parents died in a car accident. Jake and I have been friends since we were 3 and dating for 4 years now (since 8th grade). His dad hugged me when it became official, and said, “You’ve been a daughter to me for over a decade now. Welcome home.” MMT
10. Today, a man dropped several coins into a charity box we keep in our lobby. I told him he was very generous. He replied, “I just want to do my part and give what I can.” This man is homeless. Our office manager allows him to sleep under the large overhang on the backside of our building, and also brings him bagels and donuts when someone buys them for the office. MMT
11. Today, I found an old hand written note my mom wrote when she was a senior in high school. On it is a list of qualities she hoped she would someday find in a boyfriend. The list is basically an exact description of my dad, who she didn’t meet until she was 27. MMT
12. Today, I finally got around to sorting through a box of my son’s personal items that his Army unit shipped to me after he was killed in January of 2011. In the box I found a journal my son updated every night while he was overseas. The final entry, dated Jan 6th, 2011 is only one line long. It says, “I will not kill anyone this year.” MMT
13. Today, our daughter – our only child – earned a full academic scholarship to Yale University – the school she’s wanted to go to for as long as I can remember. She starts next fall. My husband and I have been working two jobs for the last 12 years so that we could pay for her undergrad tuition. Today, her hard work just gave us the best gift in the world: time. Now that we don’t have to pay for her tuition, we have enough money to retire almost 10 years earlier than we had planned. MMT

14. Today, it has been almost a year since you passed. I have slept with your pillow every night since because it smelled like you. But now, it smells like me. I miss you. MMT

15. Today, I went to the doctor because I was experiencing awful stomach pains. They ran some tests, took some blood, and told me they’d contact me later this afternoon. I assumed it was from stress and depression. Three days ago, at the age of 35, my husband, the love of my life, died of a heart attack. This afternoon, I almost gave up. I took out my husband’s handgun, put it on the kitchen table and stared at it, contemplating suicide. As I sat there, the phone rang, it was the doctor. He said, “You’re perfectly healthy. You’re pregnant.” MMT

16. Today is my 18th birthday. Just over 18 years ago a woman was faced with the harsh fact that she had already had four miscarriages and one stillbirth. As she was pregnant for the 5th time, doctors informed her that her pregnancy was extremely risky and life threatening to her health. They said there was a good chance either the baby or her wouldn’t make it. She chose to give the baby a chance anyway. My mom and I both made it and are still totally healthy to this day. MMT

17. Today, my 10-year-old bone cancer patient, who was just downgraded to hospice care this morning, looked around his room, which is filled with stuffed animals, flowers and balloons, and said, “I hope when I get to heaven, God gives me all the balloons I lost when I was alive.” MMT

18. Today, when she woke up from a six month coma, she kissed me and said, “Thank you for being here, and telling me those beautiful stories, and never giving up on me… And yes, I will marry you.” MMT


19. Today, the homeless man who used to sleep near my condo showed up at my door wearing the business suit I gave him nearly 10 years ago. He said, “I have a home, a job, and a family now. 10 years ago I wore this business suit to all my job interviews. Thank you.” MMT

20. Today, when I opened my store at 5AM there was an envelope sitting on the floor by the door. In the envelope was $600 and a note that said, “Five years ago, I broke into your store at night and stole $300 worth of food. I’m sorry. I was desperate. Here’s the money with 100% interest.” Interestingly, I never reported the incident to the cops because I assumed that whoever stole the food really needed it. MMT

21. Today, after working 60 hour weeks for almost 25 years, my small business was acquired by a larger company for 10 million dollars. After signing the final paperwork this afternoon, I grabbed my cell phone and looked through the numbers. I wanted to call someone, a friend, to celebrate with them. But not a single name jumped out at me. I didn’t realize how isolated my lifestyle has been until that moment. MMT

22. Today, I met the prettiest woman on an airplane. After some small talk, and under the assumption that I wouldn't see her again after we made our connections in Atlanta, I told her how pretty I thought she was. She gave me the most sincere smile and said, “Nobody has said that to me in 10 years." It turns out we’re both in our mid-30’s, never married, no kids, and we live about 5 miles away from each other in Dallas. We have a date set for next Saturday after we return home. MMT

23. Today, at 8AM this morning, after four months of lifelessness in her hospital bed, we took my mom off life support. And her heart continued beating on its own. And she continued breathing on her own. Then this evening, when I squeezed her hand three times, she squeezed back three times. MMT

24. Today, I met a 54-year-old woman in Montego Bay spreading ashes from a urn onto the beach. As we watched the sunrise together, she told me that after her husband died in a car accident last month she took 3 months off of work to travel and spread her husbands ashes in all 10 countries they had planned to visit as soon as they retired next year. MMT

25. Today, at the age of 10, my little sister died from a rare form of brain cancer. When she was born, doctors told us that she wouldn't live past her 5th birthday. As she grew older, and became conscious of her condition, she always told us she wanted to live to be 10. She wanted to add a 2nd digit to her age like everyone else. Yesterday was her 10th birthday, and although she was too weak to speak, she smiled all day long in her hospital bed. MMT

Short Movie: Watch if you dare




via 328stories Please comment on the direction.

2010 - My Top 10 Movies

All these days, I was thinking as to what to post and the year went by. So just to wrap it up I thought how about wrapping it up in my blog all in one post.
And, then I began asking people as to what do they think was the top ten things that happened in this year. I got weird answers, few cool ones and the chat continued with every other guy I was talking to. So I thought better I write what went good and what went bad. What is it that I liked, of course, I got influenced by a lot of people when it came to watching movies or listening to music. But then, it all came down to my compilation of things that I found were the top 10 of this year. Be it movies, news, music, or anything! You can comment your views and your top 10 too.


TOP 10 MOVIES
 
Well talking about my top 10 movies in 2010, I had listed down, n these aren’t  just any usual movie cuz I have a tendency to like only those movies which are somewhat off the league. But then I’ve tried to keep all the genres in this list.
 
10. KICKASS
I just loved the movie, and having been enough of superhero movies, this one doesnt seem to bore us anytime. Amazingly made, timely humor and some really nice butt kicks made me watch the movie even without any pop corn.
Dave Lizewski (Johnson) is a typical comic-loving teen who hits upon the idea of becoming a real life superhero. Dressed in a scuba diving costume and going under the name of Kick-Ass, he soon becomes a crime-fighting phenomenon, despite lacking any superpowers. Kick-Ass finds he isn’t the only superhero on the block when he runs into Hit Girl (Moretz), Big Daddy (Cage) and Red Mist (Mintz-Plasse). But local mafia boss Frank D’Amico (Strong) isn’t a fan of masked vigilantes.

BottomLine: A stylish and very funny spin on the superhero genre that plays out like Superbad meets Superman. The ultra-violent feel-good movie of the year.

9. 127 HOURS

The newest film from "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle. James Franco stars in the real-life story of a hiker trapped for five days in a deep crevasse who must cut off his own arm to survive.
It’s a real life story of hiker Aron Ralston who was hiking in Utah when a boulder falls on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon and he gets free till he cuts that sucker off. Oops ! First of all. Ask yourself if you are prepared to spend a lotta time with James Franco’s face cuz much of the movie is spent with James Franco’s face but I gotta say hes done a superb task in this film cuz he seems the kind of guy who might do something reckless like this. This character to me is not generally likeable but Franco does exude this positive energy that in the end you kind of like this dude.

Bottomline: It’s a very well made movie. Good, and yeah, bring your swiss army knife :P

8. TOY STORY 3



I was ecstatic to see Toy Story when I watched it for the first time, and the first film is still one of my favorites of all time. While Toy Story 2 is just as good, nothing holds the same nostalgia value for me as that first film. Does Toy Story 3 come close? Damn close. And with the development of the old characters, the trilogy comes to an absolutely fantastic conclusion. Where the horror elements didn't faze most kids, an apocalyptic sequence near the end had some kids near me clutching their parents' arms and had me holding back tears too. You will know it when you see it because I haven't seen anything so simultaneously epic and emotional like this.

BottomLine:
Make no mistake as you read any reviews of this thing, Toy Story 3 is the first Must-See film of 2010. Capital M, Capital S, because it is also a film that the entire family can see. And must.




7. BLACK SWAN

"Black Swan," director Darren Aronofsky's dark portrayal of a tightly wound ballerina (Natalie Portman) fending off a younger rival (Mila Kunis) while staging a production of "Swan Lake."
The movie looks to be a typical psychological drama but what makes it different is that it has these very haunting images as Portman loses hER mind, as you don’t know what’s real and what’s imaginative and at times this becomes a very effective Horror movie. Another thing to add is that they tell the plot of Swan Lake and then they make it very clear that the plot of swan lake is going to play out among the characters of the movie and from then on you know exactly what’s going to happen and it takes away from not knowing what’s going to happen next.

BottomLine : I rate it as a erotic creepy little bedtime story.


6. DABANGG


I understand that this movie should not be included in here, but then talking about my top 10, couldn’t able to resist this one. This movie creating history in Indian film industry as one of the most highest grossing film ever, definitely deserves to be on this list.
Though the movie’s storyline is no different from most of the 1980’s films, offer no novelty as films with similar plot lines – family drama, mother’s death, love story between a police officer and a simple girl, enmity between local politician and police officer, fight to finish etc. – have been seen in the past. But the presentation is so fresh, the humour is so new, the characterization of the main protagonist is so endearing, the performance of Salman Khan is so wonderful and the music is so outstanding.
What also work fabulously well are the humour and the stunts in the film. Examples of fun scenes which will evoke a lot of laughter: Chulbul Pandey breaking into a dance while doing dare-devil stunts, whenever he hears the ring tone of the mobile phone of a henchman of the villain, the ring tone being the tune of a hit song of an earlier film starring the actor (Salman Khan) himself; when Chulbul tries to woo Rajo; the high-voltage scene in which Chulbul talks about making holes in Chhedi Singh’s body. Likewise, the stunts are absolutely breathtaking and supremely mass-appealing.

BottomLine: A movie breaking all the records of Film Industry on Day1 becomes an absolutely must watch. Nothing less nothing more !


5. LET ME IN



Similar to the original in all the right ways -- but with enough changes to stand on its own -- Let Me In is the rare Hollywood remake that doesn't add insult to inspiration.
Although I don’t know whether many of you will agree with me or not, but for me, this movie stands out. It’s absolutely remarkable, and as I’ve also seen the original Swedish Film “Let the right one In” which I had loved. The movie is about a strange love relationship between 2 kids who decides to stay for each other no matter what. The child actors did a good job. Although the movie is slow but it has quite some thrilling and horror scenes in it.

BottomLine: Might not be as good as the original Swedish tale, but this is a different one on a vampire genre. Its both innocent and vicious at the same time, so watch LET ME IN.

4. SHUTTER ISLAND



Shutter Island is a 2010 American psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese. The film is based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as U.S. Marshal Edward "Teddy" Daniels, who is investigating a psychiatric facility located on the island named in the title.
At roughly 2 hours and 20 minutes, the film is way too long, and pulls too many tricks - although you'd be lying if you said you didn't fall for most. Chances are you'll guess the twist in the end, but no way you can predict how Scorsese gets there. What really goes on within those tall, dark asylum walls? Who's being kept in the isolated lighthouse? These become urgent, pressing questions begging to be answered. The line between reality and delusion, between sanity and insanity, begins to blur early on in the film when it becomes apparent that nobody - neither the psychopaths nor the psychiatrists - are being entirely honest here.

BottomLine: It's an exciting, intriguing film that demands a second viewing to fully grasp its

3.TRUE GRIT 

In true grit, a precocious 14 yr old girl teams up with drunken marshal and a Texas ranger in the hunt for the man who robbed and killed her father. I can't say enough good things about True Grit. It's a western done by two of the greatest directors we have working today. Having not seen the original I really enjoyed this version.

Jeff bridges plays Rooster Cogburn as the toughest marshal of the west is amazing as a old stubborn guy who’s also good at heart, he’s a delight but at times he’s so hard to understand that I wished there had subtitles :P but still he’s a joy to watch..

Matt damon plays an expert tracker from Texas who’s happens to be trailing the same man that killed the girl’s father. Matt damon was superb as the pompous cowboy. He showed off the sophisticated style which is a rare to see in his acting otherwise in other films, plus the ability to put humor at places and in this type of movie was just amazing to watch.
Hailee Steinfeld, the girl, is the heart o the movie, the whole movie revolves around her. Did a fantastic job.

BottomLine: Beautiful, well-acted and funny. A must Watch !


2. SOCIAL NETWORK


A story about the founders of the social-networking website, Facebook. Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication.

Impeccably scripted, beautifully directed, and filled with fine performances, The Social Network is a riveting, ambitious example of modern filmmaking at its finest. I think the experience of watching this movie is so intense and so rewarding. You are engaged and afterwards you are found talking super duper fast just like all the characters in the film.

BottomLine: I enjoyed it, it’s totally WORTH seeing it!


1. INCEPTION



No surprise here, Inception is probably going to be on EVERYONES Top ten list and it deserves it. Christopher Nolan gives us a mind bending heist film like no other. Blending in the dream world with reality is always going to be a tough thing to do, but he does it with wonders! I was in awe the first time we were submerged three layers deep into the dream! How does someone create all that detail without messing up? Hats off to Nolan for writing one of the best scripts in the past decade (possibly ever) and making it into a successful movie. I'm so glad this did so well at the box office. Really goes to show that if you make a great movie people will come to it.
It's filled with a handful of talent including the always great Leonardo DiCaprio who, like usual, takes his role to an all new level. Everyone plays there part well and I really didn't have any problems with this film. The score by Hans Zimmer is also very epic and filled with emotion. "Time" is probably my favorite track as it really sums up the whole film for me.

BottomLine: I can't really force anyone to see this one as they probably already have. None the less, Inception is probably going to go down as one of the best films of this decade.


So, these were pretty much my Top 10 in movies. Will be back with some more Top 10 of 2010. Let me know how you liked them :)
