Why is a Raven like a Writing Desk?

Like I have stated in the past movies find me just when I need them and I really did need this one (Alice In Wonderland)... I fell down the rabbit hole just in time. I am talking about the 2010 version with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter two people I would love at my tea party any day.

This was one of those movies I couldn't wait to see and had to watch it the first day it was out ... I was a little unsure if it was all I wanted it to be ... but now after watching it again months and months later (timing is everything) it was so much more then I could have ever expected. 

I love quoting movies I may need to make them a daily mantra  

A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter.

The Mad Hatter: Have I gone mad? 

Alice: I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are. 

Some times I feel Mad ... If people only knew what I was think or how I was feeling they might lock me up but its at these times that something wonderful comes about or I feel free to be silly and carefree. So its ok to be a little mad to survive life. 

 

You used to be much more..."muchier." You've lost your muchness. 

First I must say that I love silly words and "muchness" ooh that makes the list for sure.  Sometimes we lose our "muchness" in the hustle and bustle of everyday monotony. The "muchness" is what makes you, you. Its what makes you special and sparkle to others around you. Its easy to misplace your "muchness" but you can always get it back; just look inside yourself and you will find it. 

Alice: This is impossible.
The Mad Hatter: Only if you believe it is.

The only way to achieve the impossible, is to believe it's possible.

How do you know its impossible, have you tried it? I have said more than once, that can't be done its impossible. Thats my first reaction. The trick is if you say its impossible, try it anyway. 

Sometimes I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast. 

Never give up on your imagination. Your thoughts and ideas are extraordinary and sometimes even magical so keep thinking of all the impossible and make them possible

Alice: Hatter, why is a raven like a writing desk?
The Mad Hatter: I haven't the slightest idea.

I was inspired to make something even the Queen of Hearts would Love

One End White Other End Black

I was feeling Black and White ... I think Black and White are like south and north pole ... up and down ... high and low ... off and on ... see where I am going with this? I think this describes perfectly how I have been feeling for the past few weeks I am either happy or sad ... extremely excited or fall asleep bored ... confused or clear minded ... my own personal roller coaster so I used that to be creative so here are a few examples of what I have been doing

First is a picture I took at the LA Art Show and I turned it into a photo that shows a significant bright light as well as ominous dark figures in the darkness where they lead you is up to you. (Hope I made it big enough for you to see)

Title: Good or Evil 

Next we have the most recent Black and White Necklaces I made ... I am going for a Black and White Line as you might notice Classic and Modern 

And the very last photo is of my new Zebra decal on my Mac no opposing meaning there Just Fun

What I take away from all this ... don't take yourself too serious and use whatever emotion you are having and turn it into something creative ... never know what it will be 

Don't think I was the only one feeling Black and White ... Check out some of my Etsy Finds 

Love and Laughs

Win Win was not a lose lose

When asked what is my blog about? I think I can narrow it down to 3 things Family, Movies, and Creating(that covers almost everything).  Now one blog could fit all three but what I write must have at least one of those so this blog is about a Movie 

Win Win, directed by Thomas McCarthy.  I could say its a wrestling movie but that would be a very big oversight on my part and this movie deserves more then that. You wouldn't call The Fighter just a boxing movie would you. I am no professional movie reviewer but I tell it like I see it. When I say a movie is good to me that means it made me feel something and made me think.  This movie did just that ... I laughed and I wouldn't call it a comedy ... I felt frustrated much like the main character Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti) who is an Attorney by day and by late afternoon a high school wrestling coach who's team for a lack of a better word sucks. I didn't cry but I could say that I did get a warm happy feeling without all the sap. This Attorney, Father, Coach, and Husband (Mike) who is trying to keep it all together stumbles into another family very different from his own.  An old man who is slowly losing his mind, his grandson who wrestles more then he talks, and his daughter who believes she is owed her inheritance. Mike is just trying to do right for his family and as a man.

I hope this is true for most people, we all make mistakes from time to time but I want to believe that there is a good intention behind those actions. This movie does a good job in showing the gray area in making decisions in life. Life is not always simple and some times we need to make those hard decisions ... but make these decisions from the right intentions and you might find that in the end it all works its way out (that's what I want to believe). Good movie that deals with real life situations of relatable characters. I wouldn't call it an epic however well written, well directed, and well performed so over all a Win Win on my list. 

We should all make life choices with good intentions (that's what I am taking from this movie)

Love and Laughs
