I Cut Myself Shaving

Before my razor attacked my talus I was musing on life. Being in the bathtub tends to do that to me. I was running the steel blade of my razor up my leg when I came to the conclusion that I REALLY hope I am not/am not becoming/will not be one of those "LA pricks" so abhorred in popular culture. You know, the ones that are always like, "...well in LA..." I mean, I absolutely love living there, it's great, but my heart will forever be with Yellowstone and the Wasatch Mountains. Los Angeles could never compete with them.

I've also decided that all those people who think that Disney is a load of crap because it trains us to believe that the love in their movies is actually attainable can go suck it. I've decided that, despite how jaded and bitter I may be toward relationships and love, the stories like those of Ariel and Prince Eric or Aladdin and Jasmine are what keep real love alive. The stories are so beautiful and without them true love would dwindle into complete obscurity. Believing in such things is beautiful and keeps us striving for the best in our companions. That probably didn't make much sense, but whatever, this is my blog and I'll say what I darn well please.

I would also like to dare everyone to go out of their comfort zone and tell someone how you really feel about them and how much you appreciate them. I recently did so, and though it may not have born the fruit I was hoping for, I feel like it freed me in a way I've never felt before. God may not always give you exactly what you want, but if you put your heart out there for someone else, he will reward you someway, somehow.

Also, if anyone is in the LA area between now and January 2nd, or anywhere else the show will be coming in the next year, you should definitely go see the musical "Next to Normal". It will change your life. It's definitely not a completely family friendly show, but it is most definitely a great show. I cried my eyes out through the whole show and still went back to see it a second time (though I had some selfish reasons to be seeing it again). The whole cast gives a stellar performance from start to finish and if you go by the stage door afterward, they are all very friendly and seem more than willing to sign playbills and have a quick chat.
