This song is based off of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem “The Lady of Shalott,” and it draws from Shakespearean works and Arthurian Legends. (Here, we are introduced to Lancelot, for example.) It’s a beautiful song and poem, and reminds me of my child self. The self that loved (and still loves) fairy tales, and legends of King Arthur and Morgan Le Fay. It saddens me, but as the years pass, these stories are becoming more and more obscure. I can’t bare to think of them disappearing forever.
Hello Everyone,
I hope you all met the new year well and are having a blast. I am spending the first hour with my family, watching Parker on Netflix (parents are addicted to it. . . Netflix I mean). I have no idea what this movie is about but that’s okay, I’m not paying much attention to it since I’ve been online and also working off a wine cooler. (Which, lets admit, doesn’t have much of a kick after a glass of wine and a glass of coke and Kahlua.) Still, this gives me the opportunity to observe my family in their natural habitat (Insert Australian accent here). I rarely get to spend such calm times with them anymore, what with living several cities away and constantly being at work and/or school. It’s nice, real nice, but also kinda sad. My parents are getting older, I can see that in their faces, and especially in their eyes as they occasionally nod off. I wonder about you guys, when did you realize that you parents are quite human, and quite finite? Daunting, I know. But this just means I have to love them even more, and strive more to give them the happiness, or contentedness, that they deserve.
Here’s another discovery, and not a dreary one at that: 2014 is the year of the horse. This is my year, as a 1990 baby. So now, with renewed vigor, I will face this year and make it MY year. Yep folks, see the flames rise around me. (Yes, that is the alcohol talking . . . I think.)
Goodnight!
This world is in such a hurry to grow up that it doesn’t realize all the mistakes it’s making.
