Kelly and I went to see the 50th anniversary screening of Rocky tonight.

There was no way I was passing up the chance to see one of my all-time favorite movies on the big screen.

The Rocky and Creed movies have always meant a lot more to me than just entertainment. Whenever life gets rough, those are the movies I turn to. I've watched them through some difficult stretches, and no matter how many times I've seen them, I keep coming back.

There's something about those stories of getting knocked down, finding a reason to keep fighting, and refusing to quit that has always connected with me.

Getting to experience the original Rocky in a theater with Kelly tonight was pretty damn special.
