Over the Top

These days if I ever think of my pops, I somehow end up watching the movie Over the Top starring Sylvester Stallone.

I dunno why...

Maybe it's coz I remember that pops used to like the show alot, or maybe some of the principles in the show is something that I could imagine him saying...heh..

Watching it again now that I'm older, I guess I understand why he likes the show...it probably gives him a booster ...because it focus' on the simple things of good character, integrity, learning from mistakes and a determined heart. it probably also gives him cheer that in the show, the one's with the wealth and riches just "don't get it". That was my pops coz he went through the same 'class' system feel.

You can see alot of 'probably' and 'maybe' in my last few sentences...becasue i've never got to ask about it I guess.

Anyway...I've always said this..and I recognise it...

It is ironic that some 'views' of life he pointed out to me as a child, I still remember well and are views that keep me grounded and tougher...and I have spent less than half my life with him.

I thank God I remember the views that were good and not warped..

If you've never watched the movie before. You should. There is some cheesy acting and quite impossible. But the heart is there. You can find it on youtube. Type 'ottp 1' for part one in the search field...it's short for the movie name, and you'll see the rest of the movie linked up too.

I have to say it's a great Father's Day movie. =)
