Living Life: Taylor (Realization Edition)
SOOO I’m pretty excited about this new Alice in Wonderland movie that is coming out. I was just watching the commercial a few minutes ago and decided to youtube scenes from the old animated movie. This movie used to be my favorite movie when I was younger and I would watch it religiously.
Anyways, I was watching these scenes and I started to get a creepy feeling and chills hearing the voices and seeing the dark images. Since when was this ever a kid movie?! My favorite movie when I was a kid… mind you. There is a caterpillar that smokes… creepy voices and all of the characters play insane mind games on this little girl who stumbles into Wonderland…. now that I think about it and watch it again… I’m able to comprehend the movie more clearly. Just. Wow.
Do any of you guys watch Disney movies and now realize the humor… or now truly get the storyline and wonder why Disney would create such a movie? Don’t get me wrong, Alice in Wonderland is rad… but I would get pretty creeped out watching it alone…. even now ( but shhh 
). Anyways, just something to think abut when you watch your old favorite Disney movie.
Moving along…. I feel that I’ve finally found a general direction that I want to take my life in. I felt for so long that I knew what I wanted and how I was going to get there, but more recently I’ve found that some things have been lingering at the back of my mind… no matter how long I’ve been trying to push them aside and find something else that will help me ’sustain’ a lifestyle in the future. Not my thing. I’m not amazing at math, I’ve been an okay athlete in my life….but picking up a pencil… a paintbrush… a camera…. and creating is where my life is going. I don’t care what it takes…. how successful I become in life… as long as I can do something I love. Isn’t that everyone’s dream, though? I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to be a bit more optimistic in the end if I plan on accomplishing anything in the future. I fear that a lack of optimism and a clouding of pessimistic behavior in my brain is quite an obstacle for me. I want to do everything and more, but I find myself realizing how things could actually turn out… and I step down a step… instead of moving forward and not caring. I guess there is a difference between caution… and just plain giving up and stopping.
Is there something out there that you feel empowered to do and/or follow in life? How do you plan on doing so…. are there any obstacles that are in your way?
that has been my outlet in life & I look forward to doing it for the rest of my life, if I can’t do it for my career at least for my hobby I love it & will hopefully continue to do so. Anyway please keep us updated on how things are going.

March 1, 2010I CANT WAIT TO SEEEEEE ALICE IN WONDERLAND TOOOOO! I am counting the days down to gooo! but ya, hello! CREEEEEEEEPY! but if you go back and look at all the fairy tales we read as children you will notice that most are pretty violent and scary.
These original stories were never meant for children, did you know that? They are all peaches and cream full of happily ever after, which do a good job at hiding that they are based on gruesome, goory tales. Not to mention, a lot of this stories set up girls beliefs about romance, love and life! eeeeeek!
Do you know where fairy tales come from? They are woman’s stories passed down from generation to generation as a way to rebel against oppression and censorship.
Disney came along at some point and diluted the violence and turned this stories into fun tales for children!…or did they? Take a closer look!

If this really interests you, take a look at some of the original stories like, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Alice and Wonderland.
