I ADMIRE THIS TALENT.

extranormal:

This is Jarel. He fixes pianos. And plays them too.

lets have a party.

I like celebrations and love to find a reason for one. I really get into saying “Happy…Birthday/Christmas/Sunday/Flag Day/ etc.”

After this holiday season I realized a perfectly valid reason to “go all out” for celebrations and holidays: life will be full of ho hum if you want it to be. Sorrow is unavoidable. Mishap and crying will happen. Disappointment is sure to find you.

Before you mistake me for cynical I’ll say, “ergo” enjoy the good times extra well.

I’m not saying fake it or buy things you don’t need or buy cheap candy (unless, of course, its kitschy-cheap and thoughtful). I’m simply saying that you should take advantage of days specifically and nationally planned for us to best ensure that everyone you love is in the same room. I’m saying that you should use it as a reason to go on a trip, make traditions,  include people, draft stories worth being told. I’m saying that there’s too many shitty times to not TAKE ADVANTAGE OF or MAKE reasons to celebrate. Deliberate and intentional celebration. 

Cher: So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, “What about the strain on our resources?” Well it’s like when I had this garden party for my father’s birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. ‘cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin’. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much. 

I love this movie. Quotes I use in everyday life or with certain friends include, but are not limited too:

“Duh I was just going to..”

“Honey you baked!…” “I tried”.

“You like Billie Holiday?” “I love him!”

“Sucky Italian Roast”

“Not a total Betty but a vast improvement”
