Garden State of Mind

I am a movie buff. No, really. I could identify most movies made in the '90s in less than a minute. I watch all sorts of movies. I've sat through really dumb ones, and enjoyed independent films in other languages. Speaking of indie films. I just saw one of the best movies I've seen in months. Garden State is one of those movies that make you reminisce and appreciate your life. It's hard to explain what the movie exactly is because it deals with a lot of issues, but I think it's mostly about never being able to go back home again, interlaced with issues regarding relationships and death. There was a point in the movie where it made me think if that actually applies to everyone. Will there come a point in my life that I would feel like a stranger in my own home? I couldn't answer that right now. I can't imagine feeling out of place when I go home. My family treats me like I've never left when I go back from college during breaks. They still make me do dishes and drive my mom and aunt to the mall. Maybe in a few years? Or maybe I'm one of those people who will prove that it IS possible?

Let's cap this post with a lighthearted list. Five things I like about home:
  1. You never have to feed the washing machine quarters.
  2. Home cooking....warm food is always a plus. ALWAYS.
  3. You never have to worry about what's for dinner. (I know that's like #2....nourishment is important.)
  4. You don't have to pay for anything when you go out with your family.
  5. I always have a good laugh when I go home. =)
