"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life."

--Lester Burnham from Alan Ball's "American Beauty"

        For a moment, I managed to stop thinking and just take everything in. Ahh- it was very refreshing! Then, when he played Brain Damage and the laughing started... hehe :)
