This weekend

This weekend I’m going to my mom’s house for the weekend to babysit my two brothers while my mom is in Maryland. One is fifteen years old and autistic, and the other is seven years old and too smart for his own good. It’s going to be very hectic. However, I will have my car, so I won’t have to deal with children with cabin fever. A good friend of mine might be coming over at some point to keep me company, and keep the children in line. Keeping the children in line will be necessary, seeing as they sometimes bicker like two seven year olds. I love them both, but they can most certainly be a handful.

180

180 was an excellent movie. It was interesting, engaging and thought provoking. I particularly liked what he said towards the end that if open country dies, we die too. We need some time to get away from all the havoc that daily life brings, and going out to the middle of nowhere, where there isn't a sign of industrial movement in sight, is the perfect way to do it. Camping is a great way to do this. Hiking is another. Either way the outcome is the same. You have a sense of peace in the mountains, or wherever you consider your fortress of solitude to be. That's what I got out of this movie.
