Have you ever seen something, like a movie, that changes you?
Have you ever witnessed, or have been involved in an event that affects you permanently?
Have you spent your life being a non-believer, then something happens that makes you want to seek a religion?
Have you ever been changed?

Just about 15 minutes ago, I finished watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and it has changed me. I know it. I don't know in what way, but I just know it has happened. Have you ever felt like this before?

I have, but it's a long and kinda compelx story, btu in the end it changed how I look at life, kinda. My vewi of the world is.. less obscured, kinda. But it's a good way that it changed, and it's a good thing that it did. Myabe I'll post it sometime,

I watched a movie once that changed my life. Don't laugh, now. I watched "The Girl Next Door." Yes, I know what it seems like it's about. But that's only a small part. The underlying moral is "Do anything you can to help the ones you love." So I've begun following that as my motto.

I used to be changed for about an hour after any movie I watch. Like, I'd watch James Bond, then I'd run around the house hiding behind furniture for an hour. It was fun.

Catcher in the Rye. It made know that there are other people out there just like me :]

Oh, yeah, I forgot! The song Shilo by Neil Diamond totally changed me.


Yes I'm serious. I can see you holding back laughter.

Dammit, I really want to see that movie now! Had to leave at 9:30... stupid... !

Nah, I've never been changed. Or if I have, it's been such a slow and gradual process that I haven't noticed. The major changes to myself (e.g. beliefs, morals, religion etc.) have just been through my own thoughts and resolutions.

Nick, you really should see it. All of you should. I don't care, infact I know, if it won't effect you in the same way it effected me. I just want the satisfaction of you seeing it too.
Straight to Number 1 on my favourite movies list.

Aaah! Where'd you pop out from?! You weren't here before and suddenly... jibbly-jibbly-jibbly-jibbly-jibbly-jibbly-jibbly-jibbly-jibbly...

I didn't think you were here, now, and then you just suddenly appeared. It was kinda like sneaking up on me... but in cyberspace form.

There are a lot of things that have changed me.

One of the most amazing men I've ever met, Scott Gibbs, who directed the visual arts crew at my theater camp. He's a local artist, and he taught me everything I know to this day (not much) about art, and just gave me a different perspective in general.

My friend Curtis Dickerson. The nicest person I've ever met, whom despite a terrible family situation, has managed to become so incredibly intelligent and amazing regardless. He has helped me through so many situations, despite the fact that he never gets to see me.

My friend Joe Moore, anamzing person, who also helped me through a very rough situation recently. An incredibly intelligent person, and he is one of the only people still in school that I really look up to. And incredibly honest and wonderful person.

My X, who was my hero for quite a while. He introduced me to Van Morrison, rather taught me everything I know about music. If it weren't for him, I would still be an emo.

Music has changed my life more than anything. It's a spiritual experience. Anything by Van morrison, or the beatles, the kind of thing that just makes you happy. Or my song, Santaria, by Sublime, and Mama Tried, by Merle Haggard, or any of a number of songs from when I was younger. It never ceases to facinate me, how amazing some of the sounds people can make are.

Movies, there's a lot of them. A Clockwork Orange itself didn't change my life, but some memories connected to it did. Watching that movie helped me a lot.

Maria Hall, my wife, who never gave up on me, and isn't afraid to let me loose it.

And most of all, God. Everything happens for a reason.

I still do it! Why stop?

Uh, lessee... I add to my vocabulary from movies I watch. I pick up new words and start using them. One of the biggest examples of those is the Bill and Ted movies; I call people dude a lot still, and say a lot of phrases from their movies.

This is really dorky, but Animorphs like dominated my life through middle school. I felt like I lived for the next book to be released, and then I would stay up all night and read it in a day, and spend another couple months waiting for the next one. I still have EVERY book K.A. Applegate put out. I even read her other series, Everworld, and have all of those too. I didn't like her other series though so it pretty much ended after Everworld.

Then, there's Contact. The book, not the movie... well maybe both a bit. It totally speaks to me, I don't know why. Carl Sagan was a genius, man.

Er... I was greatly affected by a little toy Ankylosaur I got one birthday long long ago... it started me on a life long path to consuming facts about dinosaurs. I still can't get enough of those big old scaly beasts.

I don't know. I liked 'em.

Books mostly...

The Otherland and Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series by Tad Williams, and War of the Roses by the same. Some deep material there.

Ugh... I'm slightly emmbarrased to admit this, but Anne of Green Gables. Alot of what's in there seems really stupid, but if you over analyxe it you get a really deep, underlying message.

And the part where that guy died made me cry.

It may sound dorky, but The Matrix changed my life. It made me want to learn more about philosophy and especially theories of reality. Now I'm majoring in philosophy.

I dunno if it did much, but I think that The Tao of Pooh and its companion book, The Te of Piglet, both by Benjamin Hoff, both probably changed me at least a little.
