Crash

So tonight just capped of a truly great day. Great weather, new client and I got to do the Cha-Cha slide during work hours at our over-the-top company"picnic."

Tonight me and a group of friends went to go to see "Crash"... an amazing, amazing movie. There are very few works of art, in recent memory, that have provoked such thought. As to not spoil the movie, it's a unique commentary on the human condition and the underlying causes of it all -- prejudice. Few are the things that make me truly sad and a catalyst for this sadness is when I feel that the human condition is irreparable. This 115 minute film capture so many aspects of what plagues humanity and regardless of race, nationality, religion, socio-economic background, etc... no one is exempt from having those thoughts that we all have. While prejudice and hatred are taught, sometimes it is reinforced through encounters and life experiences and I just can't figure out how you change someone's perception that is rooted in experience. Does that make any sense? I could go on for paragraphs and paragraphs about the intracies and subtleties of this film but I'll just say, go see and call me immediately afterwards!

I'm really looking forward to this three day weekend! I start my new project with a great team on Tuesday and I'm so very excited about this. I feel like my work at IAIP was purgatory and now I've been granted a pass to the promised land -- if that sounds extreme, you've never worked at IAIP Business Operations Center!

I've got an awesome weekend planned with good friends - helping Sara move tomorrow and hanging out with Jaimee. Some QT with my kiddies on Sunday as well as having dinner and devotional at Hilary and Aaron's and on Monday I'm hiking/shopping/movie watching with Jenna

... and I swear I'll clean my house in the midst of all that...
