Press Play

Dear Anonymous Reader,

Wow...today I should have put in an application to officially changed my name to Lazy Bones. Today I pressed PLAY on three different movies I had on DVR. In between the first and second (around 12pm) I decided to read for a spell in my very comfy bed, knowing all too well that I was going to fall asleep. And sleep I did...for three hours! It was an amazing nap!

My movie day:
"The Punisher"
"Alive"
"The Edge"

The play button on a remote can be such a powerful, little button. For young children, pressing play on their TV means they are probably about to watch their favorite cartoon movie. Right now, I have a friend whose daughter watches "Rio" every morning, and whose son begs for "Shrek" every night. The play button is the gateway to an imaginary world.

When we grow older and have more interests, pressing play to a video or documentary has the possibility to literally change the way we operate in our lives. When I first watched "The Secret", for example, I was completely amazed of the information coming into my consciousness and into my heart. My life wasn't the same. I opened up to a new world of energy and a better understanding of the incredible Law of Attraction.

I also remember watching a documentary about five people who were learning about veganism and the ins and outs of what that lifestyle actually means. I don't remember the name of the movie, but I didn't eat meat for like two months! I couldn't bring myself to think of the things I saw. I could have pressed STOP, but for some reason, when we press play on a thing it takes an awful lot to end the experience before its intended time.

What is that all about? It's like holding respect for something that isn't alive and doesn't even know I don't like it. Maybe it's this respect for the people who spent the time to make the song or movie. Maybe it's that. Then again...they'll never know I didn't like it either! I remember being with a group of people and they all wanted to watch freaking "Chainsaw Massacre"! Yea...I left that room pretty dang fast. The others stayed though...because someone pressed play and not enough people could bring themselves to stop the craziness that was that movie. Eek!

And I love that once we find things we really, really love, we'll listen to or watch them over and over again. Pressing play on my favorite movies and songs is like a drug! I'm so excited every time.

Some favs right now...
Music - Pink's entire "Beautiful Trauma" CD, Walker Hayes "You Broke Up With Me", and FGL "Confession"
Movies - "Last Holiday" and "The Core"

What are your favorite things to press PLAY on? Movie? Music?

Goodnight A.R.!
