1. Wristcutters: A Love Story
Recommended through a friend, I watched this movie certain that I would be in for something sad and pitiful. Boy, was I wrong. I've always loved morbid humor (think Beetlejuice) and original plots, to which Wristcutters doesn't let ya down. It's totally sick and twisted, and I sort of adore it. This is a story about the after-world that suicide-rs are committed to post killing themselves, and their search for something more--the whole ride is glorious fun. Furthermore, I'm always a sucker for a movie that shines through its writing, casting and plot rather than its special effects. Hmmm, this may have breached my Top 5 favorite films. Egads! I will have to watch it a couple more times to truly back up such a statement.
2. Shameless Appeals Made to Justin Timberlake
So, I found this gem through a JT tweet (yes, I follow Justin on twitter...so what of it?). If you've EVER been a Justin fan, then you will whole-heartedly agree with every statement made here.

3. A Quote from Strength to Love, a book by Martin Luther King Jr.
"When I speak of love I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response. I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life. Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality. This Hindu-Moslem-Christian-Jewish-Buddhist belief about ultimate reality is beautifully summed up in the first epistle of Saint John: 'Let us love one another; for love is God and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God.'"
