Soul Surfer

I saw Soul Surfer tonight. 
All week I've had a very oceanic themed vocabulary, 
to set the scene for the movie, of course. 
 Rip Curl. 
Dolphin. 
Salt. 
Shred.
Mermaid.
I was stoked, alright.



The movie was greater than I anticipated. 
I mean - of course - I would have liked it either way, 
cheesy or not - but it was genuinely a good movie. 
It had the perfect amount of drama, sadness, and joy
and had a good inspirational message.


I suppose it helped that Anasophia Robb is slightly very attractive. 
I really loved all of the scenic shots, 
it really made me want to go to Hawaii and surf. 
Yes, I'm admitting it - Aleksi, if Mitchell could hear me speak - oh what he'd say. 
Me and Mitchell always used to rag on Aleksi for wanting to be this surfer girl, 
but after this movie - I'm right with her, I want to learn to surf 
and I want to hug the ocean.
So beautiful.

I also really liked how tight knit her family was, 
reminded me of my family. 
How her siblings are her best friends 
and her parents always believed in her.
Gosh, I miss them. 
I can't wait until we're all reunited again. 
This movie just made me want to be better - in every aspect. 
a better friend. 
a better son. 
a better me.
