Some people reach a place in time where they’ve gone as far as they can. A place where wives and jobs collide with desire. That which is unknowable and those who remain out of sight. See what it is invisible and you will see what to write. That’s how Bobby used to put it. It was the invisible people he wanted to live with. The ones that we walk past everday, the ones we sometimes become. The ones in books who live only in someones mind’s eye. He was a man who was destined to go through life and not around it. A man who was sure the shortest path to Heaven was straight through Hell. But the truth of his handicap lay only in a mind both exalted and crippled by too many stories and the path he chose to become one. Bobby Long’s tragic flaw was his romance with all that he saw. And I guess if people want to believe in some form of justice, then Bobby Long got his for a song.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since I stayed home today I got a chance to watch A Love Song for Bobby Long<\/a> today. It came highly recommended by my coworker, \u00c2\u00a0Scott. I watched the movie, pausing only to take calls from Brian and the vet.<\/p>\n

Brian warned me not to watch it. He said that it’s depressing. I don’t know how he knows.\u00c2\u00a0 He has never seen the movie and refuses to watch it.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0The story\u00c2\u00a0begins a little \u00c2\u00a0depressing but it does have a happy ending. It’s a great movie. You all should watch it.\u00c2\u00a0 For a moment it made me forget about Molly’s plight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some people take drugs.\u00c2\u00a0 I just watch movies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
