August Rush

I watched a great movie called August Rush. Its about a boy that is an orphan and he follows the music. His mother gave birth to him but her father gave the boy up for adoption without her permission, he faked her signature on the adoption papers. She later realizes that she has a son and he’s out there even though she felt that he was out there somewhere. She goes searching for her son Evan who has escaped from the orphanage to New York City. Evan who later takes the name August Rush ends up going to Julliard and becoming a composer. The mother Lily and the father Louis end up reuniting at the concert that Lily plays at and Evan ends up composing at the concert. The ending was left so open and I can only assume that all three were reunited at the end but it didn’t show it. It only showed August on stage and then he turns around and sees his parents standing in the crowd near the stage. I think they should make a sequel to this movie. From what I read on the internet there is going to be a sequel to this movie and it is going to be called August Rush 2: Orphanage Of Love. I can’t wait for this movie to come out. The first movie came out in 2007 so we shall see when the second movie comes out. I’m excited to see the sequel of the movie. I want to know what happens to all three of the characters. Did Lily tell Louis that he is a father? Did Evan continue to go by the name August or stick to Evan? Did Lily and Louis get married? Did all three of them end up living together? What happened to Robin William’s character in the movie? I forgot to mention that Robin Williams played in the movie. Robin Williams played Wizard who was a guy that lived in an old theater with a bunch of homeless kids and runaways. Wizard took the kids in and he made them go out and play music and make money for playing the music and then he took all their money. Personally I think he played a bad character because he was stealing all the money that the kids made from playing music. Robin Williams was somewhat mean in the movie and tried to make August stay with him but August managed to escape from Wizard and he made it to his concert on time. Still I think the ending could have been better but maybe they are planning to make a sequel and that’s why they left it so open. We shall see if they make a sequel. I’m hoping they do and I read on the internet that a lot of other people are hoping they make a sequel to it as well. I’m going to be searching all over the internet for anything about a sequel to the movie. The movie was inspiring and makes you love and appreciate music more. Like I said, its a very inspiring movie. Yet the ending was left so open that you are wanting to know what’s going to happen next and it only leaves you guessing what happened next.

Old Friends Reunite

Its good when old friends reunite. I had a falling out with a friend several months ago and I hadn’t talked to my friend since then. Her girlfriend and I didn’t get along. Even though her girlfriend came between our friendship I didn’t let that stop me from going to see her occasionally. I still said hi to her at her work and tried to let her know I still cared about her. Since that incident she has broken up with her girlfriend and my friend and I are talking again. We have decided not to let anyone come between our friendship anymore. Not her current girlfriend and not my wife, no one will come in between us ever again. We have been friends too long for that. She was my best friend, she lived with me at one point and we did everything together. I’m glad that I have my best friend back. Its nice to reunite with old friends.

Summer Extravaganza

The Summer Extravaganza turned out to be a delightful event. The food was expensive, we ended spending $33.00 dollars on food. That was outrageous. Other than the food being expensive we had a pretty good time. We listened to the bands play all day. The first band started at 12:30p. There were 4 bands there if I can remember right. Sun Dried Opossum was there and they played with their original songs. Myself, Deborah DeSouza and Michael Ponzini were there representing Magazine33.

Mormons

Why do I always get nervous when the Mormons come to my house? I don’t know. I have no clue but they just came to my house to drop off a DVD. Someone from the church had called and told me that they might stop by. They personally delivered the DVD themselves. I like the Mormon church I really do. They are great people no matter what others say about them and they are so friendly and nice.
