Don't let your ship sink.

Almost everyone has seen the timeless classic of  'Titanic' right? Featuring the bouncing waterfall of ginger hair know as Kate Winslet and the oh-so-handsome face of the heartthrob Leonardo Dicaprio. The vocal talents of Celine Dion and the traumatizing scenes (yet so remembered by the media) of naked lady pictures and hand prints on foggy windows. Of "flying" on the front of a ship, and last but not least, the last two hours of the film showcasing the horror of that night in 1912. The screaming people, the clangs of the sinking ship and the frozen bodies of 1000+ people that were without a life boat. Ahhhhh. Great show huh?

Are your insides jiggling with excitement to go watch this again?

Any who...While BYU fans were screaming out in the cold, I was inside my house (my grandparents house) like a boss like a loser, watching this film. Did I love it? Yes. Did I also hate it? Yes. Now, I'm not a hugo fan of endings of movies that make me feel like crap inside. You know, the movies that leave you with a sick feeling and you are kinda afraid to go on a boat? Those feelings. Not a fan. But do I realize that this was a real thing that happened a hundred years ago. Yes. And I want to cry. I want to cry for those people that night that had to go through that experience of the Titanic. It makes me feel so sorry for them. So, to get over these feelings, I focus on the love of Rose and Jack. Is it a plausible love story? No. Do I love and believe it? Absolutely. Ah, to be Jack and Rose and fall in a passionate love only to be ruined a couple days later by a careless ship builder. What a life. Much like our friends Romeo and Juliet, their love story ended in tragedy. *Sigh* life is tough. Any who...there is a point to this post.
          After watching this movie, it really makes me want to get out there in life you know?  To live it and just let go of the stupid cares of a crazy world. To make my life an adventure and to live it to the fullest. Because you never know when your ship is going to hit an iceburg. And even if it does, hop on a life boat, take advantage of the rest of your life. Don't go down without a fight. Even if it means almost freezing to death and laying on a door for a night (people who have watched the move will get the metaphor) you will be rescued. (cue inspiring quote of some Apostle) Does that all make sense? Just...live life to the fullest and make every second count. You never know when the last few hours of your life are passing away. And that's my spiel. (is that how you spell that? Ah, who cares.) So get out there people! Kiss a stranger, trek through a jungle, shake a lions paw. Travel the world (but please refrain for traveling via cruise. You never know what will happen....) See the pyramids. Get out there! And Don't let your ship sink. Amen.

                                                 That's my life.
