WALL*E

Well, tonight my wife and I watched WALL*E for the first time. I actually had some really big reservations about watching WALL*E, and purposely have put off watching it, actually. I really didn't embrace the idea of two robots falling in love and no talking going on for at least the first half hour. However, I was pleasantly surprised that despite the fact that their only form of verbal communication consisted of less than 5 words, the plot was still okay. AND - I was still able to learn valuable life lessons (such as Virtual world having huge possibility of taking over real world - the choice is mine), and how we need to come in contact (as my crazy Biology teacher says) with our long-lost "Sense of Wonder."
Was WALL*E my favorite? Nope.
Did I get emotional over it? Nope.
Did I enjoy watching it? for the most part.
Did I think it taught a good message? sure (but even President Eyring's dad said that he could turn any talk into a information-full sermon by thinking in his head about what they were really trying to get across.)
Did I think that my wife maybe got just a titch TOO emotionally involved? for the sake of my safety and "points" I am not at liberty to discuss it.

However, I found an interesting opinion of some random nobody on the internet the other day ranking PIXAR movies. I think they're wrong about a lot of them. MY personal feeling is that UP is by far in the top three, along with the Toy Story(s) and probably Monsters, Inc. WALL*E taught some good lessons, but as far as Danenjoyedit points: on the bottom shelf of PIXAR's best.

But that's just me.

In the Beginning. . .

I've never blogged before - or even really thought about it. My favorite quote about blogs goes something like this "Never before has so much been written about so much that so few eyes will see, and so few of the owners of those eyes actually caring." BUT - to be fair, I decided I would give it a try. And if anyone actually cares about what I'm writing - good for you! I hope that it makes you even a little bit happy - because life is too short to be unhappy. I make no promises about the frequency or quality of these blogs. Just know in advance that I love to be happy and to laugh. Adventure screams my name and in the midst of answering I appear to many to be crazy. But, if you are okay with those kinds of things, then I think you will greatly enjoy "And it came to pass. . . ."
