Special Day

I just finished watching the movie "Sideways"..... a complete waste of time if you ask me. There was one gem in the whole movie. One of the main characters was saving a great bottle of wine for a "special occasion". The thing about good wine is that it has an unset peak date. Meaning that if you drink it too soon, it won't taste as good as it could, drink it too late, on the other hand, and it starts to turn into vinegar. The woman that this character is interested in points out her belief that the day he opens the wine is the special occasion in and of itself. Some days I feel past my peak point, like today, but other days I feel like I'm waiting, holding out for something special to happen before I consider opening myself up. What I should be realizing, at this point, is that any day I choose to open myself up, is the special occasion I'm waiting for.
I rented and watched 10 movies over the course of two nights. Another movie I rented was "Be Cool" the sequel to "Get Shorty". I thought it was much better than the first. Watching Mr. Travolta Dance is always a treat and never fails to put a smile on my face. I loved him in "Michael" ....one smooth Fother Mucker. It got me thinking how much I have enjoyed going out dancing. I haven't done it in eight years, but I remember having a great time. I never really considered myself a shy person, I always liked to hide in the middle of the room, so to speak. But I remember how strange it was the first time I went to the movie theater by myself. I thought it was a great accomplishment. I've since moved on to doing other things by myself too like going to "Vulgarthon 2005" by myself. I guess I still have a ways to go, though, before I work up the courage to go to a club by myself. Maybe that's why I now live at least a four hour drive away from a decent club. Maybe not.
Carpe Diem!!
