Five Days In

All right, I'm sorry I'm late.  Five days into the New Year and I'm attempting to make a New Year journal.  Really, there's not much to say.  My holidays went smoothly and was spent divided up between friends and family.  Pleasant to say the least.

Really I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope that I can improve my gallery for you here on dA and our relationships.  I also hope that your year is filled with nothing but light and love.

Speaking of my gallery a little bit there, I am pleased to say that I deleted a lot of my earlier submissions to my gallery this afternoon.  My yearly clean-up was definitely needed and probably not done.  I'll be doing more with it as I go along.  My stats have improved from last year, which is nice to see seeing as how I haven't actually been on as often as I was the previous 365 days!  Here's hoping for improvement!

Stay happy and stay strong!

Thanks for reading!

Movie Review: Edward Scissorhands Directed by: Tim Burton - Like most Tim Burton movies this is a story that could have walked right out of a fairy tale. There are elements of fantasy, of love, of miracles, and of difference in a world that is far too ordinary.

We are introduced to a small town of perfect families, of perfect houses, of stereotypical duplicates. Deco colored houses all resemble one another except for the color, husbands arrive home at the same time every night, and everyone gets by on a healthy diet of money and gossip. Shadowing the town is a mountain with a mansion atop of it where an old inventor used to live. He died leaving his invention alone to fend for himself. He is a man except for one thing: his hands. They remain unfinished and are not hands at all, they are scissors. Edward is his name and is found by one of the kinder souls of the town down below. Fearing for the young man she decides that she must bring him home to try and help him live what would be considered a normal life.

At first he is seen as a curiosity and along with his presence he brings creativity and inspiration. Suddenly nobody is a duplicate of the other in appearance, but only those that have the potential for difference are changed within, which is the more important change. Love springs between himself and the daughter of the woman that brought Edward down from the top of the mountain. For, despite his menacing appearance, Edward is the kindest and most generous person that could be conceived. His innocence and his large heart hold universes that are unattainable with the faked duplicates he is surrounded by in the village. Yet his exterior difference, the least important difference of all, lingers supreme in this world.

A powerful movie with many powerful messages. Worth it, absolutely!
