I'm SO SORRY....

So...as I was watching GLEE this week they did a song called 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina'...from the movie Evita. I couldn't help but remember the first time I saw that movie. It was 1996 and I had the sweetest kindest boyfriend named Tim. As far as highschool boyfriends go you couldn't do better then Tim. All the girls wanted to date him and I was the lucky one for 2 years who got to hang out with the kid. Well, Tim and I had a deal when it came to movies...he would pick one then I would pick one. He never complained about what I picked and I never complained about what he picked. I don't remember appreciating that at the time, but I do now (guys can be such whiners about movies).

Of course being a 16 year old girl I was SO EXCITED for Evita to come to theaters. I mean it had great music and MADONNA. Now call me naive or completely uneducated, but I had NO IDEA Evita was going to be ALL music. I thought it was going to be a regular movie with a few songs thrown in....BOY was I WRONG. It was almost 3 HOURS of song and dance. A few times I remember looking over at Tim and catching him sleeping or in his own personal 9th dimension of Hell. To be completely honest...it was horrible. Do I love the music in Evita? YES...do I love Madonna...Yes...but OMG THREE HOURS of it and I was ready to set the place on fire. We could of walked out...but if you know anything about me...know this..I DON'T walk out on movies. The movie has to REALLY be sucking for me to walk out. My mindset...I paid $10 or so bucks to see it...I'm going to get my money's worth of the crap.

Anywho....back to topic. As Tim and I left the theater that day in Windsor Locks, CT there are a few things that stood out to me...

1. Tim still didn't complain. (I swear that boy was a saint)
2. I promised myself never to see a movie because Madonna was in it again.
3. Tell Tim you're sorry.

Therefore...it's late but here it is...I am SO SO SO SORRY that I wasted 3 hours of your life Timmy Dear. Those are precious moments you can't get back. I mean I'm sure we would of just hung out at FRIENDLY'S instead or something...but still EVITA was pure torture which you didn't deserve my sweet friend. I can only hope this was a moment in your life so traumatic you completely washed it from your memory. As a I'm Sorry tribute I have attached the only good part of the movie Evita. Watch this and you've just saved yourself 2:55 minutes of your life.


Side Note: The story of Eva Peron is really VERY interesting...I recommend Googling her...amazing complicated woman. I'm mean she died young, her husband had her mummified, laid in repose in a glass casket while the whole country of Argentina mourned her death...THEN had to hide her body from thieves. That's just BEYOND interesting...HISTORY CHANNEL I LOVE YOU.
