Straylight Run – The Perfect Ending

Taken in context
It’s not a bad thing
But when you start to pick it apart
It gets so depressing
It’s that sort of thing
That makes you think too much
It’s that sort of thing
That makes you lose your objectivity

So, if you made it
Just be glad that you did and stay there
If you ever feel loved or needed
Remember that you’re one of the lucky ones
And if it’s over
Just remember what I told you
It was bound to happen
So, just keep moving on
There’s no perfect endings

You peel back the layers
And get down to the inside
But sometimes you lose sight
Of what it was you were trying to find
And it’s that sort of thing
That makes you think too much
It’s that sort of thing
That makes you lose your objectivity

So, if you made it
Just be glad that you did and stay there
If you ever feel loved or needed
Remember that you’re one of the lucky ones
And if it’s over
Just remember what I told you
It was bound to happen
So, just keep moving on
There’s no perfect endings
No perfect endings

Regina Spektor – The Call

When I was a kid I always loved The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis – so when I was in my senior year and we did that as our first play of the year I was stoked!  Even better, I got to play Edmond!  Yes, lame perhaps – but renting the old BBC movie of this when I went to my grandma and grandpa’s house and watching it with my sister Grace are some of my happiest childhood memories.  We used to pretend the coat closet was the wardrobe haha, lame kids I guess.  Anyway, when the first movie came out I loved it and now I finally have seen Prince Caspian and love it even more than the first!  It’s a great movie for everyone – one I will be sure my younger brothers get to enjoy these stories as much as I did when I was their age.  No doubts that when I have my own children they’ll know all these stories too.   If you haven’t seen this yet do it!  Also the song I put up is from the ending of the movie, it’s completely perfect for the mood.  That’s about all.

I love this movie so much, I loved it when I was a kid and I still love it.  It makes me think of my little brothers.

Older Mike: There are seven lost secret fascinations and abilities. They are that: animals can talk; your favorite blanket is woven from a fabric so mighty, that once pulled over your head, it becomes an impenetrable force field, nothing is too heavy to lift with the aid of a cape; your hand, held forefinger out and thumb up, actually fires bullets; jumping from any height with an umbrella is completely safe; monsters exist and can be both seen an done battle with; and the greatest, most special and regrettable loss of all: the ability to fly.
