And The Oscar Goes To...

WHY IS IT THAT US HUMAN BEINGS ALLOW OURSELVES TO BECOME MORE FASCINATED WITH THE LIVES AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF STRANGERS THAN WE ARE WITH THE VERY LIFE AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUR OWN?

Tonight is the Academy Awards.  They happen every year.  People who are involved in movies get to dress up really nice and then goof around all night while they reminisce and reward each other.  Everyone else in the world gets to watch, wish, and worship.  

"Everyone else" is who makes this one night last all year.  They do this by watching TV shows that talk all about it, they read magazines that rave all about it, and they buy and watch the movies that ultimately make the night possible.

Why does "everyone else" allow this?!  Why don't they tune into their own lives instead?  Why don't they write their own stories instead?  Why don't they celebrate themselves?

Here's to Kristen Gibb.

BEST WRITING - SCREENPLAY (NON-FICTION)

I love this book more than I can express.  I carry one in my back pack with me everywhere I go in case I come across someone who needs one of their own.

MOSIAH 2:41

BEST WRITING - SCREENPLAY (FICTION)

I love this book more than I can express.  If I ever quote something that sounds really smart, inspiring, or profound, it's probably from this book. 

I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
