the poison apple of cynicism

I finally made it to see the movie Enchanted

Some irritatingly evil force had been keeping me from it

I saw it tonight at 9:30 at the dollar 99cent theatre

Not a very fairytale like setting I admit

But the movie was precious,

I was about to start believing in true love and happily ever after

When I walked out to the parking lot

And someone had ‘tapped' my car

So I left them a very wicked witch like note,

Took their tag number

And was still able to make it home just before midnight

That's the problem with real life

There's never a prince around to save the day

You gotta do it yourself

1 - Ah fair maiden, if thou had a prince,
Would thou smile the day away,
Floating on air as if thee were a cloud
Free as could be?

And would you be his queen,
Satisfied to do his bidding,
Completely happy to complete his joy?

It's hard to find a real prince for sometimes, even a prince has to take out the trash.

Somehow, the visiont of a prince upon a sparkling steed of white loses power when he has to take out the trash. And if he has the habit of throwing his underwear on the floor instead of in a hamper, it's really hard to keep the dream alive.

But.....................................
now and then, princes do come and they take the hand of their lady and they dance the waltz of life into eternity. It's easier to believe such foolishness when you're under thirty but sometimes it happens to those over 40 too. I don't know if you're over 40 but the waltz is different when you're over 40 than it is when you're under 30. I can't say which is better but it's fun to do the waltz of life with someone you love who loves you.

Well, I hope your prince rides into your life sooner than later. And I hope he likes kayaking. (Comment this)
