Reign Over Me/Ukulele

REIGN OVER ME
Even though Adam Sandler is best known for his roles as "Little Nicky", "Billy Madison", or (my personal favorite) "The Water Boy", but nobody ever talks about his serious roles. Once I saw him in "spanglish" I was totally hooked.
"Reign Over Me" is the story of Charlie Finnneman and his old college roommate, Alan Johnson, who is trying to help Charlie deal with the loss of his family in the 9/11 attacks. Charlie's mental state is fragile and sporatic, to say the least.
As Alan tries to get Charlie to come to grips with this reality, you can't help but see that Charlie ahs acknowledged the loss a little too well. Charlie's ever-present memories of his family continally replay in his mind, causing Charlie to be suicidal and not able to "remember" anything, which makes Alan try even harder to "fix: Charlie.
Watch the movie, I liked it.

Rockin' the Uke
One of my lovely friends, Melissa McCraw, is amazing. The girl plays-no ROCKS- several insturmetns: Piano, Ukulele, Harmonica, Banjo, Guitar, Kazoo...I love it. I've known Melissa since she was in pampers, and I've never been more proud of her! She's a super hippie, and I totally dig it. I highly recomnd that you go check her out.
Also, my friend Matt plays the ukulele, which is really making me want to buy and learn how to play. I'm totally thinking Matt and I could make a Uke version of Tenacious D. Go check it out ya'll!

Now, for my next blog I'm thinking of making a Boyfriend Application at the request of several friends. Thoughts?

Until next time! -v
