and I'm coming home to my city by the bay

From Here to Eternity (1953): bordering between not seeing it and worth seeing. i'd much rather watch this than Pearl Harbor. very cool seeing real footage of the attack too. like Pearl Harbor though, they try and throw some made up love story in the mix of everything, but at least i felt it was a little more personal and a connection was felt with the actors. frank sinatra did an awesome job in it and deserves his oscar for it. the ending again was no good though. i'm starting to think that movies then just don't end happily. today we as an audience simply demand a happy, all loose ends tied up kind of ending. it also had an amazing fight scene in it. rivals any movie next to fight club. my advice would probably be to not see it.

okay, the bad news first. i'm really tired. got to bed at 4 in the morning and woke up today at about 9. when i go out to denver, i'm going to see my mom and fam for only like 3 days now. i'm probably not going to see karen or ryan at all. won't be able to spend much time with my bro unless he comes over to mom's place. kim is still kinda mad at me for making this decision. and i still have lots of homework and studying before tomorrow's last day. and i'm hungry.

the good news. tomorrow is the last day for school. 3 more days until i leave. i'm flying to san francisco with tom on tuesday morning and coming back saturday just before my flight leaves back to utah. i'm going to eat lunch soon. and i cleaned the kitchen. yea for me!

now before everyone gets all upset over me going to SF, put yourself in my shoes. we're getting an awesome deal to go, so which one of you wouldn't go? as a lot of you may know, its my favorite city in the world and i would live there in a heartbeat if i had the chance. but i haven't been back there since before i moved to colorado. so in the end, it really sucks that i can't see everyone and be there in colorado longer, but there is no way i can pass this up. so i'm really sorry. as for now, i'm going to watch the matrix 2 and eat some lunch. i guess i could be studying and doing hw, but finals week wouldn't be the same if i were actually prepared...3 days.
