When i was young, I loved dragons. I loved mythical creatures, and fairy tales. What child doesn't? But what happened as I got older was, it wasn't as acceptable to daydream. I had to pay attention at school and stop making up stories in my head. I taught myself to be a realist. You'd be surprised how well it worked. I had both feet planted on the ground. It got to the point where I hated reading fantasy. I've only read the first harry potter book and hated it if you would believe it. Nothing but what I could see in front of me would do. My dream was to be a band teacher. That's honestly what I saw myself doing. And that's still the future I see for myself, but its not my dream. I saw this boring, realistic future for myself. That job would satisfy me and pay the bills and really, that's all there is isn't it? I went on like that for about 3 years.
Now I'm going to give a lot of praise to anyone who took part in the making of The Hobbit: The desolation of Smaug, because it was absolutely brilliant and easily my favourite movie which I have never said about any one movie in my life so that it high praise. The acting was brilliant, the cinematography was stupendous, the graphics were stellar, the writing and directing were unbelievable and lets not forget J.R.R Tolkien, who was beyond words in his brilliance. But he reason i loved this movie so much is because it sparked something in me. I walked out of that movie feeling like a child again. Since then, my life has gotten drastically better and worse all at once. I watch TV differently (and more frequently) than ever before. I pulled out my old books on Mythical creatures. This whole world of fantasy and sci-fi has been opened to me. I feel creative and open minded, I appreciate things in a new light! But lord almighty I am so BORED. Its insane I have never experienced this boredom ever in my life and no one else seems to understand. I wanna travel and go on adventures and meet dragons and fight evil villains and explore the universe! But I'm stuck here. I guess I couldn't say "small town calgary", but compared to the universe it seems small to me. the world seems small to me, and I feel like no one else feels how truly tiny the world is, and how little we'll get to see in our lifetimes.
I want to explore with the Doctor or go on an adventure with Gandalf or solve crimes with Sherlock. I want something exciting to happen and I guess that's why I'm starting a blog, in hopes that something does happen to me worth documenting. But things like that don't happen in real life to real people. We just live. We're born, we go to school, we get a job, we die. I really want my life to be more than that. I feel like John Watson and as he would say, "nothing happens to me."
