Matilda
Why have I always liked the movie Matilda so much?
Well in order to answer that question I watched Matilda this weekend. The first reason I like it is because it shows a family with a relationship that is not ideal in any sense and demonstrates the ability of anyone to escape it. My family has always been great and I like to see people who were not born into a loving family find one for them selves. Another important element in this movie is that family is not necessarily the people who you are related to by blood, family is the people who love you and who care about you whether you are related or not. Another thing about this movie that I liked was that they displayed a relationship between a young girl and a woman who is not her mother; that is something I always wanted when I was little, someone older than me that I could look up to outside of my family. The main reason for me loving the movie was that I felt a direct connection between Matilda and myself. I was not by any means spelling my name in spilt baby food when I was a year old but I have always had the desire to learn. I myself didn't learn how to read until I was in the middle of first grade and before that I was always embarrassed to go to tutoring but as soon as I started reading I couldn't stop and I got beyond any reading I ever thought I was capable of. When I was little I always wanted to be Matilda for Halloween and my mom always said no because no one would be able to tell who I was and on the outside that was true but internally I was much like her and seeing part of me inside of her made me love the movie.

Analytical Mind Part Two: Denny's past midnight
How could going to a breakfast restaurant in the middle of the night be better than any other time? That is a question that has been asked by all of the top scientists in the world. It has never been solved until a recent discovery was made by an extremely talented and promising young scientist...Myself. When a person enters a restaurant at 1:30 in the morning they are exposed to a completely different environment from the typical daytime crowd.
That is shown by the people's quieter and slower pace in the nighttime. When you are already where else is there to go. When you don't have anything to be late for it gives you a chance to slow down and just breath. Everyone needs an opportunity to take a break from life and drink unlimited hot chocolate for as long as they need. That is another reason for eating in the wee hours of the morning. Hot chocolate always tastes better when it is cold and dark. Something about the comfort of the heat in the night brings many people. The night time crowd is much larger than the afternoon it gives you an outlook on different people who you don't usually see. Obviously the people who eat breakfast at 3 in the morning are different from those who eat it between 7 and nine.
Anyways at night people are in different moods than they are during the day. You can tell a lot about people by the time they eat there pancake breakfast.

Analytical mind part one
Why is running in a Five K easier than running 3 miles?
This weekend I ran in a five k and I will tell you I am not in any way a runner. But when aperson runs on their own for no real reason there is no reason to run faster and no other people that you must beat. Everyone needs a little competition to keep them going and improving. I have experienced this first hand and this are my reasons:
First of all on a normal run you are not surrounded by more than a hundred other people who actually enjoy running without those crazy people inspiration is hard to come bye.
Second when you are running on your own you are not as prone to noticing that you are being beaten by a speed walker and in a race when you see that a walking person is beating you, a running person you are given an excuse to actually try, at all, especially if that running person happens to be around 76 1/2 years old.
All right the last and most important part of this is that if you are running in a race wearing a shirt with a monk on it you have to feel a certain ammount of duty in winning the race I mean if you lose you are on one pretty important guy's bad side.
O.k. so really running a five K is much more appetizing to one's legs than hitting a track and running around 6 or 7 times with no one around, no monks in sight, and no sign of a finish line. Do you agree? If you don't you have never ran a five k in the same proximity as a monestary. I promise it's quite the moving experience :).
