oooh and it's with taye diggs
taye diggs... oh yeahhh, he's hot. (spoken a la paris hilt0n)
i learned something else today. i read the synopsis and discovered the play on the word "rent": these bohemians grapple with everything from paying the rent on time to being rent apart by love, drugs, AIDS and death, so i'm a nerd and looked up the definition of "rent" and discovered that it is also a past tense and past participle of "rend," meaning:
1. An opening made by rending; a rip.
2. A breach of relations between persons or groups; a rift.
ahh, i soo get it much better now. i always thought it was titled as such only because it was the cause of all the events that the story contained. now, i also realize that unique play on the word and that it also speaks of the relationships among the characters in the story. how ingenious.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
