Gone Baby Gone

So I know that this has nothing to do with me being in Germany, minus the fact that I just finished watching the Movie Gone Baby Gone while in Germany.... but

I don't want to ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it, but minus the harsh language at parts it is a fantastic film. To be able to express the full range of human existence in 1.5 hours is fantastic work by the cast of this film. It is amazing to me how the dualistic nature of human thought and emotion can play out in our lives. That some of the most generous warm hearted people can be capable of cruel and unjust actions only because in their own moral standard the ends somehow justify the means. I love how romanticized personal ethics and religious morale standards combat with the more jaded "real life" circumstances. There were so many moments throughout this film that I really challenged myself to wonder... If I were in this situation would I really do the "right" thing? Whats more....what truely is the "right" thing as this film cleverly pulls the viewer into different mindsets based on each character's perspective....

Well, I could ramble on about this forever. I guess this is why I majored in sociology! Anyway... Germany is going well. The Christmas markets are now open and the shopping season has begun!!! I spent some time down there the other day with Sheila but I am waiting to go back once my friends from the state get into town! (2 weeks!!)

Sheila and I both got the stomach flu before our last match and haven't been feeling too well since, which is why I have been watching so many movies lately. Other than that life has been the same ol same ol... practice, kraft training (weights), German lessons, grocery shopping (since we are always out of milk.. and chocolate), and chilling down at the city center.

I took some pictures of us around town, in the locker room, and at a team dinner so check those out.

Love Ya'll
