I saw A Star is Born tonight

I saw A Star is Born tonight and left immensely sad. I can get deeply affected by sad movies. I don’t just feel bad for the characters but I start to feel bad for all of humanity. I feel like May in The Secret Life of Bees, I need to go to the wall😩

So, as Mike and I are halfway to the car, we get this amazing message from the universe: a woman is walking ahead of a man, presumably her husband, by about 4 yards. I couldn’t tell if she was mad or what. The man, with a phone to his ear, begins yelling “this sucks, this getting old stuff really SUCKS!!!” The woman dramatically spins around and yells back to the man “no it doesn’t Paul, it doesn’t, you have to live every day and be thankful.”

Mike and I start laughing, totally getting the irony and perfect timing of this surreal moment. I laugh so hard I cry, even harder for the sake of humanity...

Not the sad part though...I have to be really careful with my entertainment choices...something sad or violent really impacts my health.

It's going to be tough to beat the Streisand Kristofferson production. I loved Judy Garland, but the production with her couldn't hold a candle to Streisand.

Lady Gaga? Eh. Brave of her to take on the role.
