My Revamp Bites ~ Like a Skyscraper!

Wow, what a powerful song and every word so meaningful. I pray you never know what it means, but I have a feeling Demi Lovato does for her and I do for me. Just look into her eyes and you can see, she knows, she gets it. I get it too. Wow, what a great, great song. I kind of randomly happened to hear it and I am so, so glad that I did!

I love the words:

"You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down,

I will be rising from the ground,

Like a Skyscraper.

Like a Skyscraper."

What great imagery. I LOVE music that has such great writing and feeling in it. I get it! Like a Skyscraper. There is so much more in it too, listen to it carefully.  Love the broken windows part, but I am still standing on my feet. Amazing, love it! 

May we all be Skyscrapers, not Bulldozers!! That's about all I am going to say about that... Sky-scrape away!!!!!!!!!!! =]

Happy Thanksgiving/Holidays/Breaking Dawn p1!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, it was!  And, I got to go and see Breaking Dawn, part 1!  And yes, I like going to the movies on Thanksgiving.  I know, odd, but it's one of my favorite things. :)

My review will follow soon, but above is the picture I took of the huge poster they had up at the theatre that night when we went.  AWESOME!  :)  So I thought I'd share it here.  I've been a little under the weather since then or I'd have posted my review by now.

I hope your Holidays are going well!  Happy reading and writing all!!

One Day

I saw this the day it came out... Last Friday, here, I believe. I just knew I'd love it, and I did!

What a great STORY! I recently saw where someone on Facebook (I think) asked if there was a book you wished you'd written what would it be? Well, I guess I would say this one. It's the ultimate story of friendship and love and loss over a twenty year span... I thought it was amazing. And I spent about a third of it in a flood of tears, but the rest smiling and laughing.

So very good.

And, my favorite line of the movie is in this preview...

"She made you decent... And, in return, you made her SO happy."

You possibly can't even begin to really appreciate that line until you watch the entire movie. Sigh...

So, this is an all time example of why I love stories, books, movies and even fabulous songs; some of which are in this movie.

I was also left wanting to go to Paris. Though, much of this is in England and other places, you do see some of Paris!

And, did I mention Anne Hathaway is amazing? Well, she is! In this too.

I highly recommend it, especially to the story-buffs. :)

p.s. I adore the movie poster:
