My Love Affair with the Imagination Movers | January 18, 2010

It’s official: I’m in love.  Did I mention that it’s with a children’s television show and the characters on said television show?  Did I mention that I’m 28 years, 11 months and 29 days old?  (I’m trying to tiptoe around the fact that I’ll be 29 later this week.  Futile.)  Oh yes, there’s a new quartet of men in my life and I’m shouting it from the rooftops (or, from Twitter, at the very least).

For all you parents out there stuck watching Barney on a worn-out VHS tape, I have news for you:  There DOES exist a show that both … Read More »

“Music Is The Lamb That Has Made a Lion of Me” | October 20, 2009

“Music Is the Lamb That Has Made a Lion of Me”

I’m not sure where  this quote is from, nor who wrote it for that matter, but please accept this “unknown” accreditation; to the marvel that wrote these words: “Music is the lamb that has made a lion of me”.

First, I must describe the positive characteristics of a lion. Lions are loyal; they are known as ‘the king of the jungle’. Lions have a great sense of protection of their pact and family; they are associated with bravery and passion. The meaning of a lion in this quote is … Read More »
