i am sam

i just remembered... one of my favorite movies of all time is i am sam.. sean penn.. remember that movie? i loved it. off the bat, after the introduction and the initial credits were shown, i knew i immediately connected with sean penn's character, sam. sean penn, by the way, is considered as one of hollywood's most powerful actors. i was a fan of sean penn ever since i saw the movie full metal jacket. oh yeah.. going back... why did i immediately connect and relate with sam? five things actually:

:: i have two daughters and i know how it is to be a father; like sam i wouldn't want anyone to take my kids away from me

:: i love starbucks coffee, and sam works (or worked) for starbucks

:: i love the beatles.. and sam is a huge fan of the beatles

:: i love the movie kramer vs. kramer

:: and most imporatant of all... i'm also a retard

i'm out.
