Tears of a Clown

Again, I apologize for not posting something in the last couple of days. I'm in Texas hanging out with a cool kid that also happens to be my daughter, and working on becoming gainfully employed in this large state.  The good news is that I have been successful on both fronts. Shall we now continue on the the good stuff?

It's a good thing they turn the lights down low and make it dark in movie theaters.  I have to admit that I cry at movies.  Heck, I even cry at some commercials on TV.  You've probably seen the commercial where there is a little girl (maybe 7 yrs old) in the driver's seat of the family car, her dad is leaning in the passenger side window giving this little girl some final instructions, the little girl says "daddy, I know," then in the end they show that she is actually a teenaged girl.  Yep, I cry.  Have no clue what they are trying to get me to buy in that commercial because the TV screen is a bit hazy through the tears.

Heard a song about it, it's a must see/hear:

I bet you thought it was going to be Smokey Robinson!!!! predictable I am not. LOL well I try to keep you on your toes.

Friday evening my aforementioned daugther and I went to the movies and we saw a new comedy called "Fun Size."  Comedy?  you betcha.  Tear Jerker?  well I think I was the only one in the theater crying, but I may have caught a glimpse of some teary eyed stuff going on with my daughter.  A chip off the old block; I'm quite proud.

The movie is pretty funny, and I would recommend it. Not the funniest movie in the world, but it was good. Maybe a good matinee movie.  Most of you can probably leave the tissues at home.  If you are easily offended by mild sexual humor, then you should probably just stay at home and watch Little House on the Prairie, or learn how to loosen up a little bit and laugh at the human race.  My favorite part is when I threatened to strangle everyone in the theater if they did not shut their traps. (that may have only happened in my mind, but it was still pretty good.)  Seriously, i have no idea why people go to the movie theater and proceed to carry on a conversation through the whole movie, but I digress.  If you like cute kids in Halloween costumes, then you'll enjoy this movie.  And stick around for the credits. Right before the credits start really rolling there is a pretty good extra scene.

Previous movies that have produced tears for me:
Beaches
E.T.
College Road Trip
Helter Skelter (albeit for different reasons than the previous. it scared the bajeezus out of me)
Pretty much any movie that has to deal with children growing up and getting out on their own.

So come and take my man card.  Pry it out of my hands if you will. Well, actually it is all moist and shredded in the way that only comes from being wet for too long as I have cried on it way too many times.  Personally, I believe a real man should show his emotions.  And if it's wrong to get emotional when I think about my daughter, then I don't wanna be right.

since it's Sunday, how about a 2fer on the music:
