Obsession

As part of the new year, even though we are a month into it already, I am going to try & post a blog everyday. As you can see I am super timely so I am sure this will work out exactly as planned. Again since I am new to this blogging thing mine is probably going to be the most sporadic thing ever! So today I am going to speak of the Twilight Saga, I am obsessed! Now you might be asking yourself, what is this girl 16 crazy about Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) or Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and going to rant on and on about those two. First of all I am not 16 although sometimes, for brief moments, I wish I was. Secondly while they are both good looking young men, it doesn't make for entertaining reading when I rant on and on about how hot they may or may not be.

So I really hadn't realized how crazy obsessed I was about this series until my fiance pointed it out. As a result I have sat with myself to try & figure this out. I think there are several things at play here: 1. The Love Story 2. The supernatural 3. Fame, and probably more and more.

The love story is intriguing for the obvious reasons, but also because it lights my ass up that love is simply not like that in the real world. No wonder so many marriages end poorly! I can't say I am not disappointed but I also have a pretty level head on my shoulders to realize love isn't like that. I certainly would love it to be sometimes but it just isn't. So many young people rely on the entertainment industry for their "truth" and guidance. Realizing too late that life, nine times out of ten, does not mimic art.

Ever since I read the Harry Potter books I realized how intrigued I am by the possibility of the existence of the supernatural; witches, wizards, vampires, werewolves etc. I mean it is unfathomable to imagine what it would be like. I can say it would be awesome!

The last thing I want to write about today is the fame aspect of this whole Twilight story. Just about everyone involved in this project both the book and the movie was "no one" before. On the one hand I am so happy for those individuals who were able to be a part of this project. One the other hand I am jealous on the behalf of myself and so many others in the world. People kill themselves everyday to work and put food on the table, the people involved in this project certainly worked hard, but the amount of money they get paid in comparison is probably how much I will make in a lifetime. It gets me scheming on ideas on how I can be famous. I doubt it would ever happen as I am sure I have not one talented bone in my body for that type of thing but it seems so easy!

Until next time I will be thinking of ideas and possibly share my progress on that front.
