But tonight I look forward to watching a movie about the human spirit and the incredible things it can endure in the face of tradegy.

And this is only a test. I am completely new to the world of blogging and I'm not even sure why I started one. I am unsure of how this blog will turn out or if anyone will actually read what I write. But at best I figured I do have an opinion on most everything, so I might as well write about it.
