stumbling ::.
we stumbled onto one tree hill last night and was captivated by this one scene - regarding pornography. it resonates with my heart.

[ haley ] :: it's bad enough with all the girls in school and what, now i have to compete with porn stars as well?
[ nathan ] :: i'm a guy, it's what guys do.
[ haley ] :: dont be a guy nathan. be a man.

i was pretty surprised. i dont usually watch it but i'm more interested now. at least, in this episode, haley's really got it going on. she further mentioned that the issue is ultimately about protecting her heart. go GIRL.

::. mandy moore's new upcoming movie, saved! looks like a whole lot of fun. the trailer rocks, lots of good laughs showing how silly sometimes the church does look from the outside. it's got a really interesting premise, taking place in "american" christian high school (mandy's got a great knack for this kinda stuff), and some real twists. macaulay culkin is in it too, all grown up but playing a high school student. it's too weird to see him back. mandy, however, plays a sorta...pharisee..of pharisees. she even used that famous southern baptist word..."backsliding"... it demonstrates further the idea that just because folk go to church, youth group, and even a christian high school doesn't mean they know how to really deal with the realities of being human and are living the xian life. the group of characters try to navigate through a xian high school together and hopefully in the end find out what it really means to be saved...dunno how this movie will play out true faith but looks like it's worth checking out. it seems like someone's noticing an interesting phenom in america worth exploring on the big screen and cash in...
