MoviesBelieve it or not, my favorite movie of all time is Grease 2! I love any dance movie, I love sappy romances, comedies, and teeny bopper movies. The best movie that I saw recently was The Gospel.

Catalyst of Touch
30 June 2008

When two people touch,
walking on the beach
Or picking up a lost ball,
forever a word, a look, an exchange

They touched for a reason,
that often reason cannot explain
The voice of feeling, a void blind,
windows in a apple sensed brain

A seed of salience, this moment
of truth poised to provide.
Connecting rods, a piston,
to thrust forth a lesson and life

They learn from one another,
they need some element of each to survive
But may never know the answer,
the question of touch, the
catalyst to net tomorrow

Hey Monica Marie!
Me and Amazon are about to fight so they won't let me post a review. :) lol
So...I'll tell you now:

Monica's book, the ups and downs of being round, is a talented piece of work that is full of Charisma and Reality. I recommend it to anyone and everyone; big and small alike.
