The Realistic Mind of a Child

So... I was having a busy day filled with school, thinking about college and other daily obligations, when I decided to take a break in my day and eat lunch with my youngest brother, Iggy- whom is only seven. So we sat there eating our meal when he decides to have a conversation...

Iggy: Why don't you have a job anymore?
Me: Because my last job had me work long hours and didn't pay me good enough.
Iggy: Why don't you get a new job?
Me: Because at the current moment I don't need a job.
Iggy: Yes you do!
Me: *laughs* Why do I need a job?
Iggy: You need money to go to college.
Me: I thought you told me money is bad for you.
Iggy: Not if you're going to college.
Me: Well in that case, what job will I have then.

Iggy thought for a while then looked down at his food...

Iggy: I know! You can be a cook!
Me: A cook? Hmm... I don't mind doing that.
Iggy: You will be the best cook in the whole wide world!
Me: Oh really? Well where will I cook?
Iggy: At the Krusty Krab... just don't get greedy with money like Mr. Krabs.

I mean seriously? This kid knows what he's talking about! I know it may sound silly but how many times have we worried over things like trying to find a job, money, going to college, etc. ? In reality it's really simple. We often think it's so unrealistic, the mind of a child... but look closer and you'll find something deeper. Everything they do.... everything they say (well most things they say) we can learn from. Their simplicity is what makes them so happy, their trust in their parents, their enthusiasm to make their dreams come true... Sure I can't work at Krusty Krabs but that doesn't mean I can't be the best cook in the whole wide world- in the eyes of my little brother! My job is to make him happy and bring forth happiness to everyone around me - to whom ever God sends down my path- will I past them by or will I chose to make an impact in their life, with the little gifts that God has given me?

So I babysat some kids a few weeks ago and this is what I received in the mail...

Sure, they spelt my name wrong- but by golly are they the cutest little buttons ever!!! ~ Every charitable act you do, will be returned in the same beautiful way as it was given. Sometimes we don't know how much a smile could change someone's day... :)

The Desolation of Smaug

Yes.... I heard... everyone's talking about it! Well I saw this so called, 'Hobbit' movie about three months ago. My opinions? Well... first lets just get a few pointers out....

The book... was good. I read it about four years ago. I can barely remember what happened in the book -which would probably be a good thing if you're one of those people who say, "The movie has to be the same as the book."

The first movie of the Hobbit was good. At some point during the film I was getting a bit bored with the Goblin scene... but other than that I liked it. Now the second movie... It was absolutely... perfect! - excuse me ahmm... did I hear that right? Yes you did... I said it was absolutely perfect. Now before you stop reading, let me explain why...

Most people complain how Peter Jackson ruined the movie because he strayed away from the book. Well, Peter Jackson did not only use the 305 page Hobbit book to create this movie. He also used JRR Tolkins appendix and side notes to middle earth. These little side notes explained middle earth and other hidden facts we never knew about in the book. Now sure, Peter Jackson could've put his own twist to the movie, but he sure did do a good job doing so. In his movie The Lord of The Rings... he did a lot of twisting there as well. Many people don't realize it, but he changed a lot of things in that movie- it's just that so many people never actually read all three 400 page books. So when they watched the movie there was nothing to find error with.

Key things people could not stand during the movie...

• The mega HD 3D - I highly recommend not to go see the movie in this frame speed. It sucked me OUT of the movie. It looked so real... it looked fake. I'm sure this wasn't Jackson's intention all he wanted to do was make it better- In my opinion I like my movies without it being 3D
• Beorn - Now this guy (when he's still in his form as a bear) he seems to be more scary and intimating than the Orcs that are chasing after the dwarfs. Not to mention, that Bear is HUGE and so awesome looking- but when he turns into a human.... a little disappointing.
• Legolas- What happened to his beautiful blue contact lensed eyes?....they're no longer gentle! 

 

          Now this was his expression throughout the whole entire movie.... I'm not even gonna say anymore.... just take a long look >>> 

<<<< Now here's the lovable elf we all know!

• The dwarfs separated! They never EVER NEVER ever separate!!! -they were suppose to stay together at all times! ... 
• The so called love triangle- a lot of people where like... NOOOOOO not another Twilight!.... Fact is: ...a she-elf can't fall in love with a dwarf... the end. Case closed.
• Kili getting hurt? Why does he get hurt and then his life is saved when he's  supposed to die anyway at the end of the 3rd movie? ~I guess Jackson needed some suspense.

    Now lets take a look at this at a different point of view....

Let's take out all the negativity... and look at it with a new eye. The whole world of Middle Earth...it comes to life in a visual format. How awesome is that!!!??? Jackson does a terrific job of bringing words to life. The beauty of all the scenes are just overwhelming. I'm not sure how to explain it, but have you ever read a book but when you read it you pictured it as a movie? Yeah, he got it right on the nose!

• The Lake Town- it was perfect! I liked how Jackson took the old cartoon's version of Lake Town and made it into his own. I thought it was awesome.
• Touriel- I know many people were upset about her even being in the movie along with Legolas for that matter. But did you know she was like the only girl? And I actually liked the love between the two, it kept me suspense on whether or not she'd run after Kili... I guess I liked it cause I'm a girl and well I like that kind of stuff. 
• All the suspense simutanuously, I mean I counted like 5 story plots going on at the same time~ Gandalf with the Orcs, Legolas with the leader Orc, Tauriel healing Kili, Lake Town people capturing the black arrow guy, and Bilbo talking to Smaug. ~ I couldn't even sit still in my chair!
• I also loved how they had more background information on Bard
• Now... Smaug was perfect! I usually hate it when animals/creatures talk in movies but they did the perfect job!
• And the ending cliff hanger????? ABSOLUTELY perfect!!! 

I mean sure there were bad parts you wish Jackson could have taken out, but the overall movie~ it was perfect! Now many of you can disagree with me, I completely understand. This is just my opinion ... but overall we all know nothing can beat Lord of The Rings!

I have made little comic strips of how I thought during the movie! Enjoy!!! :D And be sure to post your questions in the comment section and if you'd like to share your opinion or favorite part of the movie, don't hesitate!
