ms 150

last weekend i went to see my friend henry cross the finish line for his bike ride from houston to austin to raise money for MS. it was such an amazing experience to witness. i stood at the last turn before the finish line and got to watch the riders round the bend and see the finish line with the capital building in the background after two full day of riding.

i watched work groups wait for each other so they could cross together. i saw families crossing hand in hand. i saw people with health problems fighting to finish strong. i watched children, classmates, and mother cheering for everyone who passed by.

and it was beautiful.

so i just watched a movie called all the days before tomorrow. in it's description, it claims to be a "quirky episodic tale." how could one refuse such a plot line? i think i enjoyed it mainly because it felt like a series of snap shots of real life. no huge crisis or turning point. musical score was there but more often than not, it was the silence of reality.

for some reason, it really captured me. it's nice to enter into someone else's life for 100 minutes. simple. no emotional energy. it doesn't really matter if people turn out happy or not because they do not exist.

all in all, a nice break this afternoon.
