Moonlight within House Hunters...

The first Saturday of March, I dragged myself home after spending Friday night drinking and dancing the night away. Though I was exhausted physically and emotionally, I was determined to do my taxes online (which I ended up not doing and paid a coworker 50 bucks to do it) but anyway, I clicked on the tv and there was a movie playing in the background and something about it captured my attention and I started watching it. It was called Moonlight Mile and I really didn't know what it was about since I was a good hour into it, but something about the characters Jo Jo and Joe really got me.

Anyway, there was a scene in the movie that still gets me to this day. The mom character Jo Jo was telling this guy Joe (who I believe was engaged to her dead daugther) about knowing when you found the one. The line that got me was "You find your home, and it may not be what you thought - you know; colour's off, style's wrong... but there it is anyway and to hell with you if you can't take a joke."

Then there was the letter at the end where he writes to a girl he fell in love with: Dear Bertie, You asked me before where I went. And I want to tell you. I went to a place where nothing's right, where every moment's backwards, every sky's without colour, without hope. I tried to come back, Bertie. But I got lost. And while I was gone, I met you. And I didn't even have the courage to realize I was home. A wise friend of mine told me "we all have our homes", and now I know it's true. I hope you get this letter, Bertie. I figure I got 75 chances. Cause if you do you'll know that in the end, that's where I was. I found home, Bertie. I found you. I hope you can find your's soon. Get there - as fast as you can. And write me when you do. Love, Joe.

When I heard this, it really got to me and I cried kid-you-not for an hour straight. Consequently, now when I watch House Hunters on HGTV and the couple doesn't pick the house that I think they should...I somehow get personally offended and find myself shouting at the TV..."To hell with you if you can't take the joke."
