Wisdom at a Wedding

First, I would like to shout out a congratulations to Nicole and John Biel who just got married last weekend. I was the videographer at their wedding. It was my job to painstakingly capture every memory so that the joyous occasion can be replayed again and again the couple and others command. I take my video production work very seriously, so I scripted what I wanted the video to look like, and made sure I got the footage for it. While interviewing loved ones during the Rehearsal dinner, one of the comments made a lasting impact on me. As Johns older cousin was interviewing for the video, he stated while looking up into his wife's eyes who was sitting on his lap "you have to be willing to hurt the feelings of other girls because the one that matters is the one you are with." A statement that is simple yet stayed with me. This is something I believe I struggled with in my last relationship. More ironically, I heard a song yesterday with that same message. I'm sorry it took me this long to realize it, but better late than never.

The weirdest things happened to me last night. I was proofing a paper for a graduate class I am currently taking, and started feeling sleepy. To give you an idea of the setting, I’m sitting in a brick red country styled love seat working on a paper with my computer in my lap and my feet propped up on a black ottoman. It’s 7:45pm and while proofing in this chair I am feeling kind of tired...and all of a sudden it’s the next day and I've missed turning in the assignment. I’m explaining myself to some friends in the class why I didn’t get the assignment done. While I am doing this, I’m thinking to myself “how the heck did I get here, I was just sitting in my chair”. As the time went on things weren’t adding up, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. For example, we weren’t in the same room we normally were, and why was half the class missing. And third…who invited Jessica Alba? Ok, so she wasn’t there, but she might of well had been since I had fallen asleep and was dreaming a dream that it was the next day and I didn't do the assignment. The dream was so real; I couldn't tell it was a dream. When I woke up at 4:30 am the next day, I was so confused, didn't know what day or time it was. And stranger still, I was on the floor sprawled out with my laptop next to me. I have no idea how after falling asleep I ended up on the floor (which is scary because my laptop was on my lap, so I hopefully set it down gently). Weird things happen when you fall asleep.
