Christmas in July

It's not what you're thinking...I'm not shopping, or putting up Christmas decorations in the middle of summer! I did, however,  wake up with one of my favorite Christmas carols in my head this morning, and it stuck with me all day. Are you ready?...

"Jingle bells.
Batman smells.
Robin laid an egg.
Batmobile lost it's wheel, and the Joker got away!"

Ha! I seriously could not get it out of my head. I am going out on a limb here,  and saying it is due to my intense excitement for the release of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. Oh, and my fondness of the holiday season!   :)

It's funny how the brain works, isn't it?

Oh, and just in case you haven't seen it yet, here is a link to the new trailer for Dark Knight Rises:

Wishful Thinking

Polaroid Syndrome

Nothing else in life really happens instantly like polaroid film...And, really, even with polaroid, you still have to wait about 30 seconds. Yes, we all want it, and we want it now. I believe that if you really want something, you can make it happen. I also believe that it takes time AND hard work. In a society where we expect things to be given to us instantaneously, how do we reteach ourselves to get back in the groove of slowing our pace? And, working for what we believe we are entitled to? Entitlement is a dangerous, slippery slope. If we don't correct it, we will most likely be spoon fed what we THINK we need until we are completely incapable of doing for ourselves what we ACTUALLY need...Just a thought.
