RAWR!!!!

Favorites.  Everybody has them.  You never get sick of your favorite, no matter what it is.  You have your favorite food, your favorite book, your favorite sport, and (most importantly) your favorite movie.  I'm here to tell you about my favorite movie, which is undoubtedly the best movie ever made, The Lion King.  I mean, how can any other movie even compare.  The Lion King has it all.  It will make you laugh, It will make you cry, and it will make your heart pound in its thrilling action scenes. 

The plot of the movie is phenomenal.  Waring for any readers, semi-spoiler alert (though shame on you for not having seen the movie yet!).  Right off the bat I feel in love with all of the characters in the movie, particularly young Simba.  Even the antagonist of the movie, Uncle Scar, is funny at the beginning with his dark humor.  However, the movie loses its light hearted matter when Uncle Scar sets up a trap for Simba and his father, Mufasa, that still upsets me just thinking about it.  This plan results in the heart-wrenching death of Mufasa, Simbas running away from the Pride, and Scars new regime as ruler of the kingdom.  At this point we are introduced to Timon and Pumba, who lighten the mood a bit with our antics.  Simba lives with them and grows up, with his motto being Hakuna Matata "Which means no worries, for the rest of your days, its our problem freeeeee, philosophyyyyyyy...Hakuna Matata"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejEVczA8PLU. Simba lives with Timon and Pumba until Nala, his old friend shows up.  Now, by this point Simba has gone through what is essentially lion puberty, and Nala is a girl lion.  In the movie nothing dirty is shown obviously, since it is an animated movie for children.  However, it did provide a mood song known as "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7XLnxKlYEo.  Now that I have grown older and matured from my adolescent state, I have learned that this song can be rather...useful, though I didn't realize that in my youth.  For that I say thank you lion king.  Anyways, back to the plot.  The movie ends in an epic confrontation which I will not go into detail about, so you'll just have to watch the movie to find out.

As a child The Lion King was my life.  When I would play "make believe" i was either Simba or Kovu (Kovu being a character from The Lion King 2, which I also deem as a fantastic movie).  I've watched it countless times (like over 9000), and I can say that I have most of the dialogues memorized (which also means i have every scene memorized).  While that may make it seem as though The Lion King only resonates in my mind, that is false, for it also resides in my heart.  I love The Lion King, and I always will.  If you haven't seen it, you should, if you don't like it, I don't know why, and if you do then maybe we can be friends.  If you haven't watched it recently, you should watch, and I know that I'm going too soon.  Maybe it'll become your favorite.

Here we go...

All week I've had this plan about what to blog about.  I'd been ready to sit down and just tell stories to you, the reader.  These stories were going to be about Pokemon, because i thought that they would be funny, maybe kind of interesting, and people would like them.  But as I sat down to write, it just wasn't flowing. I just sounded rather bland and silly.  For some reason, I couldn't tell the stories.  

I first tried o tell the story about the first time i saw the first Pokemon movie.  I was only four years old.  I loved that movie, and I still have it on VHS today.  I cried.  When I thought Ash was dead, i cried, and i cried, and I cried.  I loved that movie.  To be Honest, I still love that movie.

Now, while I love the movie, I love the games even more.  Pokemon Red version was my favorite.  I remember starting off, always wanting to catch a Pikachu.  and I remember I always wanted to be a pokemon master.

I had this bright idea when I was eight that I could try and catch real animals and make them my pokemon. I went and I set up a net with my friend and we put seeds on it to try and catch a bird so we could make it our Pokemon.  It didnt work so well.  However, we still had fun.

To this day, I still love pokemon, and I still aspire to be a Pokemon master!
