My First Post

So here's my first post as a certified blogger. I am using a formula given to me by my wonderful Public Relations teacher, Shari. She told us to make a post on either a pet peeve, a favorite expression (a quote), or an issue that we feel strong about. I went with a quote:

"Sometimes you flush, and sometimes you bust, and when you're up it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down you never think you're going to be up again, but life goes on." - Ray Liotta's character from the movie Blow

This has always been a favorite quote of mine, and i use it quite often in my life, maybe too often. My friends can recite this line and they probably don't know where it comes from other than the fact that I say it a lot.

The point of this quote to me is to know that life will be hard at times, and that we have to take the good and the bad as they come, making the most of each.

I'm sure there are various versions of this quote, but I like the way it was said and delivered in the movie because it made it so much more personal for me.

The point is to not get down so much when life gets hard, and to enjoy it to the maximum when it's good. People should live in and for the moment, but also realize that life can change immediately with no warning. Don't fear this, be ready for it.

An opposition to this quote is to really take good and bad times in life seriously, maybe life does not go on meaning we should dwell on the bad and really focus on correcting it.

LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST!
