39

This last weekend, I was able to watch Up, The Fiddler on the Roof, and 500 Days of Summer in successive days. All three were excellent. The things I have learned...
1. I want a girl like Ellie.
1a. Don't let your life go by, putting off what you want to do for a later year. Time flies by quicker than you think.
2. "Every one of us is a fiddler on the roof trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck..."
2a. The constant battle between tradition and forward thinking is tricky.
3. I won't get into it too much, so as not to ruin anything. But this movie was so refreshingly different.

If baseball is a game of inches, then life is a game of balancing. The more I think about it, the more everything, EVERYTHING is about balancing. For example, there is a fine line between being confident and being arrogant. Should I just admit I'm wrong in the interest of kindness, or should I put up a fight, to stand firm in what I believe in? Have I been spending too much time with family? Or do I need to get out more. The list goes on and on, but ultimately we all hope that life sort of balances itself out. That we naturally just stay within the lines. Unfortunately we all bleed outside on either side occasionally. It gets worse when we micromanage, actively thinking about it on every single action you perform throughout the day. Unfortunately, there's no conclusion to this one. I don't really know what I'm getting at. It just sucks when I'm left hopelessly trying to erase crayon.
