everybody's gotta learn sometime

This weekend was possibly the worst I've experienced in a while.  BUT, crisis averted.  I even learned a few things about forgiveness.  I'm not a very forgiving person, I must admit, but I'm not easily angered or hold grudges that need forgiveness.  Usually, I don't forgive people who get close to me and then do things that upset me.  It takes a lot for me to let people get close, so when I accept someone I don't like being let down.  But now, I know the impact of what it is to forgive someone.  I couldn't imagine being hurt and then forgiving unconditionally; forgiving without keeping the offense in the back of my head or changing the relationship because of it.  It's easy not to trust people again, it's easy to clip them out of your life because of what they did.  It's extremely difficult to forgive and allow yourself to trust and love people again.  I'm glad that I've learned to see the beauty in forgiveness.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (Widescreen Edition)

On a different subject, I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind the other day for the third time (or so).  I think I really overlook this movie too much, it never pops into my head when I think of my favorite movies or even my favorite movie with Jim Carrey.  I'm going to go ahead and say it now, I think this is Jim Carrey's best work.  It never occurs to me, but I love the movie and all dimensions of it.
First of all, the acting is more than you could ask for in an artsy movie like this.  There are big Hollywood names, but it doesn't outshine their acting.  You forget that they are big stars and just appreciate the characters.  I specially love Kate Winslet, and I usually don't like her in many things.
The sub-plot is very intriguing as well.  The main plot consists of the main character's internal struggle to save the memories of his love interest.  The sub-plot is about the characters that are performing the memory-erasing, and the discovery of the impact of their work.
