We accept the love we think we deserve

Sam: Why do I, and everyone I love pick people who treat us like we're nothing?

Charlie: We accept the love we think we deserve.

And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"

Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Chops"
because that was the name of his dog
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
And his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts
That was the year Father Tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
And he let them sing on the bus
And his little sister was born
with tiny toenails and no hair 
And his mother and father kissed a lot
And the girl around the corner sent him a 
Valentine signed with a row of X's
and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
And his father always tucked him in bed at night
Ans was always there to do it

Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Autumn"
because that was the name of the season
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because of its new paint
And the kids told him
that Father Tracy smoked cigars
And left butts on the pews
And sometimes they would burn holes
That was the year his sister got his glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
And the girl around the corner laughed
when he asked her to go see Santa Claus
And the kids told him why his mother and father kissed a lot
And his father never tucked him in bed at night
And his father got mad
when he cried for him to do it.

Once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Innocence: A Question"
because that was the question about his girl
And that's what it was all about
And his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because he never showed her
That was the year that Father Tracy died
And he forgot how the end of the Apostle's Creed went
And he caught his sister
making out on the back porch
And his mother and father never kissed
or even talked
And the girl around the corner
wore too much makeup
That made him cough when he kissed her
but he kissed her anyway
because that was the thing to do
And at three a.m. he tucked himself into bed
his father snoring loudly

That's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
Because that's what it was really about
And he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
And he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didn't think
he could reach the kitchen.

I look at you and I'm home.

No. No, you can't... STOP. Please don't go away.
Please? No one has ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave... if you leave... I just, I remember things better with you,
I do, look. P . Sherman, forty-two... forty-two... I remember it, I do.
It's there, I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it.
And-and I look at you, and I... I'm home.
Please... I don't want that to go away. I don't wanna forget.

Street Dance 2. Worst dance movie ever

Street Dance is one of the most interesting and exciting movie to watch. They combined ballet and street dance together and the ending was just magical.

STREET DANCE 2, on the other hand, IS THE WORST DANCE MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

I have watched a lot of dance movies like Step up, Step Up 2, Step Up 3(best movie ever), Street Dance, Stomp the Yard, Bring it On, the other cheerleading movies. This is THE WORST!! The way they shot it was simply terrible.

1. The male lead has a face that I would love very much to punch.
Compared to the other dance movies, he is one of the most useless and irritation characters ever. Who the hell gives up a few days before the competition.


2. He can't dance.
I'm sure he has impressive muscles during one of the scenes where he was heartbroken and was trying to figure everything out. Those are not dance muscles. For those who always watch SYTYCD, you would understand what I'm talking about. We see the other dancers doing their thing and dancing, but we don't see him dancing in the the movie. The only thing that he does is move in the background.

3. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU FOCUS THE CAMERA ON ONE PERSON IN THE SCENE OF A GROUP DANCE NUMBER!!!???
The point of a group dance number in a movie is to see the crew members dancing as one. Why the eff would you have a close up on the lead characters who cannot dance during that number? Okay fine, you are the director, you want close ups. FINE! Then, why is it that you are only shooting their upper bodies when they are dancing??

The point of a dance scene in a movie is for us to FRICKIN' WATCH THE DANCE. Close up's of the people's face does not achieve that. AT ALL!

4. The whole movie is just terrible.

You travel all around Europe to get the dancers. Doesn't that need something like money? And the love story is just ridiculous and the whole movie is revolved around that. This is a dance movie and those wrote this seem to forget that. The dance montage was the worst ever.

I have never been this painfully disappointed with a dance movie before. I usually feel empowered after watching dance movies but this movie made me feel like I want to punch someone.

If you are a dancer and you love dance movies, don't watch this. Watch Step Up 3.
Not worth your time at all.
