Ground Hog Day

I started watching ground hog day last night and as always I fall asleep when the story starts to get interesting, when I finally figured I won't be able to finish it I decided to get ready for bed and ___ in for the night, thing is though when I got to bed I couldn't sleep, so I decided to lay on the couch again to finally finish this show and I'm glad I did, I might watch it again from beginning to end since I missed a huge chunk of the movie which now I'm bummed about because I bet it would have been funny,

-----Spoiler Alert--------

I missed the part where he tried to commit suicide several times since he figured out that the day will keep on repeating itself but eventually he decided to make do with the situation and just go with it.

He started taking piano lessons and that made me think, if I had a ground hog day I would do the same thing, learn the piano, violin, cello, and the guitar =)

He also started being nice to everybody, he started helping out in the community and he started making a difference. What was sad though was that there was an old man that started dying on that day, whatever he did he always ended up dead, the nurse said because he was just old.

Thing is though I didn't reach the part where they introduced his character so I'm not sure why he was being punished, I kind of got that he was rude to his co-workers so maybe the day was teaching him how to be humble and nice.

My questions for the day is: Are you nice enough each day to make a difference to someone? Do you smile at people around you or do you just walk past everybody and ignore them like you don't see them?

I was a very shy person, I'm not good with names, I'm okay with faces and my eyesight was horrible when I was a kid so I used to just look at the ground when I walk outside to avoid people telling my parents or anyone who would listen that I was a snob just because I failed to say hi to them.

I'm not sure when I started but I think I was in 5th grade when I started looking up, I smiled at everyone and anyone who would cross paths with me, I heard from someone that a smile usually brightens a persons day, so I just did it, it got me in trouble most times because guys would think I was interested and started smiling back. What I noticed though and I remember was my first person I smiled at. My brother and I was on our way to school, we were riding a tricycle and the driver took a shortcut. As we were passing through this heavily populated residential area and we passed by this girl and I just smiled at her and she smiled back, my brother asked me if I knew her and I told him I didn't.

It felt wonderful, I hope I made her day because it made mine.

I still feel good just smiling at random people these days, I remember meeting my angels in the bus when I smiled at them. I just think the world would be a better place if people looked up more, smiled more and participated more.
