PS. summer review: book/music/movie.

ok, there are 3 little ditties that caught my eyes and ears recently and i would like to share them with you:

1. The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran: i read it this weekend and loved it. my friend robbie recommended it to me and let me borrow his...but after i read it i had to buy a copy of my own. there are so many beautiful passages, here's just one...

"Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, then let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips."

fell in love with the whole book.

2. Jason DeRulo, Whatcha Say: so we're all just having a good time, dancing at Cretias last night...digging the DJ...when all of the sudden this song comes on. it was a sick beat infused with Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek. and it blew my mind. click on that link and listen to it. right now.

3. 500 Days of Summer: ok, i saw this movie a while ago, but let it be known that it is one of the best movies i've seen in years. it ranks up there with amelie, it's that good. the reason i'm bringing it up now is because aaron only gave it a B+, and i must dispel the rumor that it is a B+ film. this was a movie that caused me to continue thinking and reflecting on it long after i walked out of the theater: it was real, raw, heartbreaking and hopeful. it's a movie that speaks to the cynic AND the romantic...both of which i consider myself to be...it just depends on the day. joseph gordon-levitt was adorable (not in a sissy way...more of an irresistible way) and zooey deschanel. was. amazing. goseeit.
