This movie has universal themes of survival, hope and rising above ones circumstances. Dev Patel is a great actor and shines in this great movie. I am not sure how true-to-life the situations are in it so some of my fellow Indian bloggers can help me with that question. This film won an Academy Award for best picture so it has to be good.
If you are like me I have created thousands of documents, pictures, videos and the like over the years. So many of the files I have stored are 10 years or more old. Something in me can’t get rid of these items, call it being sentimental. There are those who would call it hording but this isn’t about them now. It’s good to hold on to things like tax records, receipts, pictures, personal emails and business items. After awhile purging these items can be helpful for organizational purposes. Old grocery lists, dated notes, old bills and the like can be deleted.
It would take me days to go through all my stuff so I have chosen to have everything created from a certain point be archives and put in folders so I can at least search for them.
Today I deleted some old WordPress blogs I don’t use anymore. I exported them to an archival blog for future use and then deleted what I had just exported. There are some blogger blogs I need to do this to as well. Sometimes its good to reduce your digital footprint so that you are more secure and better organized.
Services like Google Drive, Dropbox and the like can help you store your information in the cloud as you also store them on an external hard drive or flash drive (called a belt and suspenders way of storage).
No matter how you store your documents be sure you use good passwords and up-to-date browsers and apps to manage your files. You can never be too safe.
If a there was a dog version of WordPress would it be “WoofPress”….What would your dog say if it had a blog. Just think of all the things they see daily that they don’t say a word about. Dogs are loyal and fortunately they can’t air your dirty laundry on a blog. Now cats would be totally tell-all. I think the dog version of Twitter is Woofer.
This is my birthday weekend and on Monday I will be 47 years old. Youth is a state of mind in as much as it’s a reality of the moment of time in which you are. Aging is inevitable, everyone grows and gets older. Youth shall be served but youth is fleeting. Being young seems to be harder in some ways and easier in others. It’s all a part of the choices you make, the people you associate with and who you want to be as you go on through life. Enjoy your youth. It’s important. Remember your youth, remember the good, shake off the bad.
Life is about growing up, growing old and learning how to navigate it all. We grow and get smarter by the things we learn in school, from others and the lessons the world teaches you every day. Learning is about opening your heart and mind to the intellectual opportunities that comes your way. We should be about learning from one another daily. Experience is painful but its the best way of learning something that will keep you going. Learning can keep you living, alive, vibrant. The seasons have a way of informing us what we need to know. Keep on learning everyone.
These movies are full of supernatural science fiction goodness. Close Encounters of The Third Kind is one of the greatest movies made of its genre. Frequency is one of those movies that is surprising and full of heart. They both touch on the paranormal and unexplained phenomenon. It’s a part of a twin bill tonight to end our week.
