Pebble and the Penguin

I don't care what any of you think, but I think one of the best movies is Pebble and the Penguin. I grew up watching this movie, and it has always been a romantic comedy to me. I don't know if my 7 year old self comes out when I watch it, and that's the reason why  I enjoy it so much, or if it's just one of those movies that shows the good guy always wins the girl, and that true love conquers all!

Listen, I'm not one of those people who just likes any movie, or gawk at the simplest of film making, I take my movies serious, I love watching movies, and often go to movies by myself because I really don't mind too. Well, who knows maybe I am someone who gawks at the simplest of films, but who cares as long as I like the movie I don't see any problem with what anyone else thinks. Just please cut me some slack on this blog.

I'm almost certain that if anyone watched this movie today, they would probably say "Oh my gosh, this is a weird movie, let's watch another one." As I am sitting here on a Tuesday afternoon watching this movie with my two cousins who are 6 years old, and 4 years old they can't even sit still and enjoy the movie, because they think it's dumb. Yeah, what does that make me look like when I like this cartoon and my two little cousins don't like it.... I'm just that awesome I guess.

This movie is about a cute dorky penguin name Hubie who tries to find the perfect pebble for the girl he is in love with Marina. He of course gets bullied by the big buff juice head penguin and gets lost at sea. While Hubie is trying to make his way back to Marina, he meets another penguin named Rocko, and he helps Hubie get back to Marina and then they live happily ever... Just watch the movie.

Even though the movie was only made in '95 I still hope that they will remake it, so that the people who are used to Pixar movies, and all the awesome graphics of today would be able to thoroughly enjoy the movie and it's message with the new 21st century film making.

I have a strangely wide and sometimes seemingly opposite range of interests.
- I'm the kind of girl who will check the news in the morning and watch the bachelor at night, the kind of girl who will wake up at dawn and go four wheeling all day and then get a manicure and wear a skirt the next day, the kind of girl who feels just as beautiful in Nike's as she does in Steve madden shoes... the kind of girl who... Let's just call her well rounded, but some use weird. :)





So, What about you my fellow friend, blogger, blog reader, what would you say about yourself?

I don't even know if I finished the race...

As some of you may know I am training for a Triathlon, and have been doing so for the past 2 months, so if any of you have ever trained for a race you are aware that you pretty much eat, sleep, and train... Well that's how it is for me.

The only time I get ready while training is if I am going to church, or if I have a hot date (she says sarcastically) Side note- Aren't guys supposed to know that when a girl looks at them longer than 3 seconds, or multipule times it normally means she is interested or the poor guy has a booger in his nose. -side note over

 If you see me in normal clothes and my hair all adorable, please give me an applause of some sort for my tremendous amount of effort in getting ready during training.

Well, the reason I am talking about the triathlon is because I had a dream a few nights ago that only I would probably have.

I had a dream that the triathlon consisted of swimming, Designing a clothing line, and running.

In the dream, I started off the race by doing the swimming portion, and as I emerged from the water I ran up the dock and immediately starting sketching designs. I kept trying to add more detail and color, and started getting nervous because other people were doing there designs faster and I was behind. After I did 13 designs I had to submit them to the head of Fashion for the Tri. I then went on to do the running part of the race, and after working so hard in training and visualizing myself passing my brother. I not only passed him in the run, but I beat him in the race, or so I thought! As I was about to cross the finish line with a huge smile across my face; I woke up... Now I will never know if I really crossed that finish line...
