100

Today my blog was finally hit one hundred countries viewed. It has been a bit of a goal of mine to reach the century number. I have been stuck on ninety nine countries for a few weeks now and every day I would keep checking over and over again to see if it had happened. There have been a couple of false alarms when I would see a countries name and get all excited but as I would reference my list I have compiled I would realize that it wasn't a new one. Just a country that I had forgotten about. When you get up to this many countries it gets hard to keep track of them in your mind. But now that I am at one hundred I guess it is time to set a new goal. There are 196 recognized countries in the world so I am more than halfway to having every country. Slowly I am checking them all off my list. As for number 100 that goes to the US Virgin Islands. If I can't go to every country in the world then I'm happy with them all coming to me.

Safe House

So I just got home from watching Safe House. I have been anticipating this movie for awhile now. Denzel Washington is my favourite actor. I'll even admit I have a bit of a man crush on him but how can you not. He is just personifies cool. So I headed off the the theatre. I decided I wanted to try out the new VIP Cinemas at Cineplex. For what you pay I was expecting to be blown away and for the most part I was very impressed with the theatre. You get assigned seating in seats that are pretty much reclining chairs. An expanded menu with at your seat service made even better by the very cute girl taking my orders. The only downfall and it was a big one was that the sound didn't work. So they had to move us to a different theatre. After the hassle of moving and  the nearly forty five minute delay I finally got to watch the movie. And it sure didn't disappoint. Another blockbuster from Denzel filled with great action and a great story. Gun fights, car chases and plenty of explosions all filmed to look slick. It was a well spent two hours and after all the trouble we had I ended up getting a voucher for a free movie. Oh and I stole the fancy glass my smoothie came in. Ya I'm a badass and I know it.

Dream catcher

They say dreams are the gateway into a persons soul. Well lately I have been having very vivid dreams. Dreams in which I start to blur the perception of what is real and what is fake. Am I getting a true look into my soul? Maybe I am finally getting to see what I am made up off and what makes me tick. I am beginning to feel like I am stuck in the movie Inception. Like I am getting trapped in my dreams. Falling deeper and deeper into them until I become lost in them forever. I am lost as to why my dreams are like this. They never have been before. I have always dreamed but I was always aware that I was in a dream. I always felt safe because I knew that I would wake up before anything bad ever happened. But now that sense of safety has disappeared, waking up doesn't feel like an option anymore. Slowly with every dream the danger draws closer to me and I am aware that I have no escape. My only option is to stay and fight, to fend off the evil that is lurking around me. But as the darkness begins to engulf me I don't feel any fear, only a sense of relief. Like I am finally where I belong.
