Perhaps We Are All Mad Like the Hatter

I can relate to his quite silly and simply mad sense of the world. After all, we can all say that at one point we have been mad like the hatter. He is a character from both the original and new version of "Alica in Wonderland." Some enjoyed his performance in the newly filmed version because it was in fact acted by Johnny Depp. Not to say Depp cannot act, but I do agree that he played the part absolutely perfectly! And of course, the little crazy dance routine added in the film was an exquisite touch. So are we all normal or have we simply gone Mad Like the Hatter?

Twiddle Dee or Twiddle Dum

Perhaps the whole Alice in Wonderland didn't catch everyone's' eyes. But it certainly caught mine. How could you not have noticed the two dumbest characters to star in it? Their names were basically chosen for that purpose. Its like one of those kick-me signs stuck to the back of some poor kids shirt. (I was that kid once.) It can only mean one thing: Alice had a way of dreaming up some truly scary, yet truthful things in that mind of hers. If only we could be more like Alice. Point me to the rabbit hole, cause here I come!

The Midnight Beast....Check 'Em Out

This all began when my best friend told me of this band, but not just any band. A British band. Bands tend to be liked more when they are from another country or city. She even picked out a song by them and said it was perfect for defining our friendship. I gave it a listen, and couldn't argue with what I had heard. They were definitely different, but in a great way. And the British accents just made me like them even more of course. "Friends For Never" was the song that she picked out, and it is in fact a very comical song by The Midnight Beast. If you want my honest opinion, I say they could go far. But they need more than just a few fans. So do yourself and your music a favor, and change the station to The Midnight Beast. 

Did I Grow Up Too Fast...?

I've always had comments about how I don't act my own age. I act older instead. It's just how I've always been tho. I never really did the same things that other kids my age where doing. I saw no point in them. My friends are mostly older than I am, and still we get along great. I seem to have that way with lots of people. I can have conversation easily with people who are beyond my age group. I enjoy discussing what others would find boring or tedious subjects. I mean, I just used the word 'tedious' in my blog. You can't get much better than that! I find that my appetites toward life are also changing. I act more like an adult than the average young person, but that simply means that I can take care of myself when the time comes.

To Be or Not To Be...Is that the question?

I am plagued by a question that I have been asked numerous times, but I have never answered. I have also never asked it of myself. What do I want? People wish and want for different things because those particular things make them happy. But what do I want that could make me happy or do I just not realize my own happiness now? I have been blessed with numerous things. My mom battled cancer twice and won. I hold down a job (albeit a pain of a one), but the fact is that it's a job! I'm going to college this fall, and it is already paid for. My car is in good condition, and my grandparents are alive and well. So why do I feel any necessary need for more? I may think I need more or perhaps it is just that the feeling of wanting that can overcome a person at times. I don't need or want anything. Perhaps I should, but I don't. I have family and friends that love me for simply being myself. That in itself is enough. So next time I am asked 'Do you want or need anything?' I will answer the question with a simple 'no'. Because I have enough.

..She's An Angel..

It's like an ache in your chest. That's what I feel now that I'm missing that little girl. She is precious. A miracle from God himself. I want to hold her in my arms again. Make her laugh and smile. Listen to her giggles. See her new teeth, if she has them. I want to be there when she takes her first steps or when she sleeps. She always looked like a little angel while asleep. Feed her and catch the rest of it on my shirt. Or with a rag, preferably. But either way, the point is that she would be here. I could see her, hold her, and sing her to sleep again. She loves music, and I loved to sing to her. It was a precious moment. I just miss her.

Finishing New Books that Have Happy Endings

I just finished a book recently and doing so, I realized that reading books can be a heartache to yourself at times. I mean, reading the perfect ending in a happily ever after is hard to do when your own life seems like it's in the pits. Why read it if it isn't always imaginable or doomed to happen? Maybe that's why I read my books. I can picture exactly what a perfect world would be like. There would be no wars or bloodshed. No need for jealousy or hate. No divorces. In the end, all we would need to be happy could be found within us. Simple and Easy. Straight to the Point.

Random Poetry

"Having a Coke With You" by Frank O'Hara has currently captured my attention because of it's latest showing on a film that was sadly produced with little funding. However, the scene in which this poem is read, made one of what I think was one of the best filming scenes. Or at least within my top. It is read between a guy and girl of course. Switching off between the roles of reading. And you begin to feel the emotion as each word of this poem is spoken. It was definitely a scene to be replayed over and over again.
