They just don't make 'em like they used to...

Aw, I was flipping through some movies today, movies I have and wanna buy...and stuff and I came across this old one "Wuthering Heights" and...I'm reminded that they just don't make them liked they used to anymore...Here are some of my favorite quotes...
"Ellen: Oh, you're lovely, Miss Cathy. Lovely.
Cathy: That's a very silly lie. I'm not lovely. What I am is very brilliant. I have a wonderful brain.
Ellen: Indeed.
Cathy: It enables me to be superior to myself. There's nothing to be gained by just looking pretty like Isabella. Every beauty mark must conceal a thought and every curl be full of humor as well as brilliantine. "

Heathcliff: Tell the dirty stable boy to let go of you. He soiled your pretty dress. But who soiled your heart? Not Heathcliff. Who turns you into a vain, cheap, worldly fool? Linton does. You'll never love him, but you'll let yourself be loved because it pleases your stupid, greedy vanity.

Heathcliff: If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day.

....this one is my absolute favorite...possibly from all the movie's I've seen so far... :)
Heathcliff: Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest so long as I live on! I killed you. Haunt me, then! Haunt your murderer! I know that ghosts have wandered on the Earth. Be with me always. Take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this dark alone where I cannot find you. I cannot live without my life! I cannot die without my soul.

Twist and Shout

I no longer want to sit in the corner with my head covered and wallow in silence and self-pity. I want to scream and shout. I want to be proactive and not just read the books and notes. I want to do all of this and be happy.

Woah throwback

Woah. Throwback to the boyband days this morning. I was watching SNL on E! and It just so happens that episode had the Backstreet Boys performing. It was so old, it was from 1998 when their single As Long As You Love Me just came out. LoL dude. I was soooooooo rollin' on the floor, god, it was hilarious, they did the whole chair bobber too. And they were all dancing...It was classic. It had been a really long time since I've heard that song LoL.
And right after that was the E! True Hollywood Story: New Kids On The Block...it was slightly before my time, but still I had some of the trading cards and what not :D I don't think we had the dolls...but maybe... LoL anyways. It wasn't that long ago, but it definitely takes you back to another time.
You can say whatever you want about that boy band phase in music, but I swear it saved me. Saved me from going nuts from school and probably falling in a deep depression. Those songs transported me to a whole different world. Wouldn't trade 'em for anythin.

Songs to Cry with

Here's my list of songs to cry with, whether it be a good cry or sad cry, these songs seem to pull out emotions you never knew you had. Here goes:

  • Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel
  • Everybody Hurts - REM
  • Let That Be Enough - Switchfoot
  • Rainbow Connection - (covered by) Sarah McLachlan
  • All The Wild Horses - Ray LaMontagne
  • Life Will Go On - Chris Iaask
  • Somewhere Over the Rainbow- Judie Garland
  • Seasons in the Sun - Westlife (well they covered it....Don't let the mid-tempo beat fool ya..."goodbye papa it's hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sky")

This list is to be continued as I find more songs...

Vocabulario

Arugh. I wish I had a larger vocabulary, then I could use words like quixotic in the proper context in normal conversation and I could also properly get ideas out that I need to. Although maybe I just have to work with what I've got...Maybe I just have to do that first...Sometimes it might be easier to act out how you feel. Sometimes it'd be easier to say everything you needed to say, see the reactions you need to see, and then go back and edit if need be. Yep, that'd be awesome. But we can't.
It'd also be awesome to be able to just let someone know how you feel without having to tell them with words. That'd be a great sixth sense, if people could just pick up on it. But it's not.
Too much to say, not enough courage. Maybe it's like a shot, the anticipation is the worst of it, or maybe it's like a tetanus shot and there's the horrible anticipation and the horrible feeling of soreness afterwards.

Mavericks Big Wave Competition Gets Underway
POSTED: 7:29 am PST February 6, 2006
UPDATED: 8:24 am PST February 7, 2006

HALF MOON BAY -- Fresh off one day's notice, 24 of the world's top surfers began the annual Mavericks ride-to-survive contest early Tuesday.

Back in action at the rugged confluence of storm-driven swells and jutting sea floor are the defending champion, Anthony Tashnick, and three-time winner Darryl "Flea" Virostko. Other contestants include Eraldo Gueiros and Danilo Couto, both of Brazil, and Ryan Seelbach, of San Francisco.

The hardscrabble Santa Cruz contingent usually fares well, having logged more practice time at Mavericks than others. They're also accustomed to the frigid waters and occasional sharks that Mavericks has to offer.

Santa Cruz is located about 60 miles south of Mavericks, and the contest offers the closest thing to glory for many locals who grew up surfing the smaller waves at Steamers Lane in their coastal tourist town.

Santa Cruz has produced the only champions the event has ever known in the four years it was held. And while the money is one thing, laying claim to being the boss of Mavericks for a year carries strong prestige as well.

"It's a culmination of your life of surfing when you turn and paddle in at Mavericks," said Jeff Clark, the man who discovered the quirky and powerful break in 1975.

Whether out of fear or respect for the waves, other surfers let him have it to himself and Clark surfed Mavericks alone for 15 years.

If riders time everything right, they'll survive a two-story drop onto the face of the world's most feared waves on the planet and ride away unscathed. Play it wrong, and Mavericks will dunk the best of them, and pin them on the shallow sea floor until they can muster the strength to surface.

Clark said that Mavericks' appeal comes from its accessibility. Surfers can paddle out, sit on the edge of the break in relative safety and admire a 40-foot wave even if they decide not to paddle into it.

During past contests, surfers have been bloodied and their boards snapped in half by the powerful churning waters. Experienced big wave surfer Mark Foo died surfing Mavericks in 1994.

"Every wave at Mavericks is a challenge," Clark said.

Mavericks is located one-half mile off the coast of Half Moon Bay, about 20 miles south of San Francisco.

On contest day, crowds of thousands form on the cliffs and shoreline, squinting through binoculars for a glimpse at surfers riding waves that are normally to be avoided by seafarers at all costs.

It is just one of several big wave hot spots around the globe ridden regularly by the sport's elite. Other well-known big wave breaks include Todos Santos, north of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; Waimea Bay at Oahu's notorious north shore; Jaws at Maui's north shore; and Cortes Banks, a tow-in monster wave generating zone about 100 miles off the Southern California coast that boasts some of the largest waves ever ridden -- or attempted.
