Wow. . .

I haven't posted in a while now. Been slacking. Well, ironically because I haven't in everything else.

So happy new year, merry Christmas, all that jazz.

What's on my mind? Disney's on my mind at the moment. I've been writing a lot of stories lately and handing them out like an assembly line to my friends. It made me think about fairy tales, thus it made me think about Disney. There are some stories I really wish I created. Like Aladdin. If they ever make a time machine I'd be really tempted to go back and stop whoever wrote them so I can have the fame for myself. Mwahahahahaha! I would have to go back to the medieval period in Persia or something to change that one. Also I really liked Beauty and the Beast. Yeah, I said it. And I'm a guy.

But I'm looking at this clearly from a critical viewpoint. I love stories about guys who are lowlifes and fall in love with a girl who's obviously higher than him. They truly tell what love is about. "Yeah, I'm fucked up. . .but. . .I'm trying this anyway. . ."

And the mythos these stories have created have become timeless and endearing. A street urchin who gets his hand on a magic lamp. A prince in a castle who gets turned into a monster. They've become so. . .legendary. Household names.

My favorite though has got to be 101 Dalmatians. It's so. . .classy. You know? Pongo, that ol' rascal. I love the very beginning when he's trying to find a good mate.
