Cheryl and I saw the movie Boyhood a few weeks back.   A really great movie.   Made me change my whole philosophy of life.   Hmmm…I just went back to my past 2 or so years’ worth of posts and it turns out I may have never posted my original Philosophy of Life (POL). OK, maybe not my original original POL, which was probably more centered on the need for a bottle and my dipe to be changed… OK (3 rd digression)…it can be argued that I still have a need for the occasional bottle, though the contents have presumably changed. But back to the first digression and my most recent POL which is…was…that life is all about Validation. We all need it…we all crave it.

Hannah's original post read : There’s a guy Taylor, a guy who’s sweet and charming and makes me laugh. A guy who said sorry for eating in front of me after finding out I had to skip breakfast.
