Bat Babies And Weddings = Love

      On Thursday I subbed for a kindergarten class and they were preparing for their career day that was taking place yesterday. Each of them needed to discuss what they wanted to be when they grew up ... and then on Friday, they were going to dress up as that occupation and come to class. They were also going to hear 5 different adults talk about their jobs.
     Boy! I was super excited to hear what kindergarteners wanted to be when they grow up! We had a doctor, a cop, a ballerina, a soccer player, and a teacher. The rest was an array of very interesting answers. One kid is growing up to be Santa Claus. Another is growing up to the Easter Bunny ... We had one boy who is going to be Batman and the girl who was sitting next to him decided she is going to be Batgirl. They then proceeded to tell us that they were going to live in a cave and have Bat Babies. Another kid chimed in and said he was going to grow up and be Robin ... One girl was going to be Barbie ... Another is going to be a Barbie Teacher, whatever that means  ... We had an Evil Queen ... And a slew of Princesses.
     As crazy as this all seems, I say go for Gold and reach for the stars ... Because in today's world you can be anything you want to be ... Especially a future Princess, which was proven yesterday in the exquisite Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

     Kate looked gorgeous as she walked down the aisle and Prince William was completely adorable as he whispered to her and her father as they all stood at the alter. He looked completely enamored with her. It was truly the cutest thing I have seen in a long time ... especially at 6 am.

     What I love about this story is that it is so like a fairy tale! In that she didn't grow up thinking she would be marrying a Prince! ... Who does? Usually Princesses! ... And I'm not saying that because "she is a commoner" like people are saying ... Because, come on people! Her family are millionaires! In England, commoner just means "not royal" ... She is far from common. She frequented the most elite parties in the country and probably bumped into royalty every now and then before even meeting William ... But still, as a little girl before her family made those millions, she probably had the same Disney dreams little girls all over the world have ... And hers came true.

      So, in honor of Kate, I am still holding out for my Prince Charming ... and hey, I am going back to England this summer so who knows maybe I'll even snag a real Prince ... I mean Prince Harry is still single, right? And, despite my intentions last summer ... I apparently didn't scour the country well enough to find him and make him fall desperately in love with me. Oh well ... There's always this summer.

Someday my prince will come.  Someday we'll meet again and away to his castle we'll go - to be happy forever I know. Someday when Spring is here, we'll find our love anew and the birds will sing and wedding bells will ring - someday when my dreams come true. (Someday My Prince Will Come, Disney's "Snow White")

PS. If I had the choice to choose what I wanted to be when I grow up ... I'd choose Cinderella. 

Suck It, Trump.

     President Obama released his original birth certificate today in response to rising doubts that he is a natural-born citizen ... One of the eligibility requirements for the US presidency. 

     One of the main skeptics of Obama's birth place has been possible Republican presidential candidate (OMG GOP!) Donald Trump and today he is "very proud" and "honored" to have played a role in putting this controversy to rest.

     Seriously dude. If you want to focus on more "important" things then do you really need to worry about  whether or not the certificate is real? I am pretty sure the President of the US would not be stupid enough to release a fake document. If he has kept it hidden for the past two years, he would have kept it hidden ... not released a fake one that could easily be detected ... So I say ...

SUCK IT ... And go back to running your bad reality shows ... and quit trying to run our country.

Born down in a dead man's town. The first kick I took was when I hit the ground. You end up like a dog that's been beat too much 'til you spend half your life just covering it up. Born in the USA. I was born in the USA. I was born in the USA. Born in the USA. (Born in the USA, Bruce Springsteen)

Grad School VS. Glee. Yo. FML.

This is my life.

     I have been locked in ABP writing a paper since 4:00 ... And "Glee" starts in approximately 1 minute ... And I don't even care that it's GAGA-filled because ...

    I just learned that Darren Criss will be singing "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane because Kurt is leaving the Dalton Academy for McKinley ... And that is one of the best songs known to man.

Yo. FML.

I'm getting old and I need something to rely on ... (Somewhere Only We Know, Keane)

PS. I have a feeling I will cry while Darren sings this ... I also have a feeling that if anyone gives away anything from this episode, I will go ballistic! 

On A Scale of One to JBeibz, How Happy Did The Easter Bunny Make You?

      Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ for Christians all around the world ... This teenager is extremely excited about it ... Maybe she's singing hymns or something.

     Oh wait ... Never mind ... She just got Justin Bieber tickets in an Easter egg ... I guess God loves her a whole lot, especially because they're front row tickets and "he might be able to see [her] and ... it's the best day of [her] life ... NO NO, the day he falls in love with [her] is gonna be the best day of [her] life."

Happy Easter!

****

In all seriousness though, Happy Easter to those celebrating. Enjoy your day. And here's the song that this blog reminded me of ...

There's never a question in your message, never a moment without your presence. There's never a doubt in my mind that I'll wake up to find your Glory defined and I will finally bow at your feet. I will lift up your name in honor and praise. When I cross over Jordan, I know that I'll be running home to you. (Glory Defined, Building 429)

If I Said I Want Their Bodies Now ...

... Would You Hold It Against Me?

Gimme Something Good, Don't Wanna Wait, I Want It Now.

     Check out Britney Spears tweet in response to this video ... She LOVES it ... In fact, she thinks our Marines are super FIERCE!

     Shout out to the Marines of the 266 Rein and HMLA 169 ... You can rock Britney better than Britney rocks Britney anymore. I prefer this video to this video!

     Oh, and by the way ladies, TOTAL DIBS ON THIS DUDE! He's got moves ... hahaha.

There's a promise I need you to make - while I'm gone, you take care of the love and I'll deal with the hate. Don't worry about me. I'll be all right. Just care for your children and sleep tight. I'll keep you safe on my watch tonight. (On My Watch Tonight, US Marine Mike Corrado)
