But rapidly the conversation changes. Now I hear criticism of the Twilight franchise, followed by praise of that of Harry Potter (they have their priorities straight), followed by a general agreement that most people anymore don't watch movies made before the year 2000. Which is very sad. There are some great movies made before the 21st century, movies that are decades old. Funny Face, Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz for goodness sakes! People are do unfortunately deprived food entertainment these days.
Which leads my mind to the severe lack of culture in my tiny Arkansan town. We have no theater, no opera house, no veritable museum. This is, for lack of better assessment, a hick town, inhabited densely byhose who spend their weekends drinking beer while watching the NASCAR race or out fishing. Not that I'm discrediting fishing, but people should really travel a bit, see a play, gaze upon some fine art. Take advantage of opportunity people! I myself do not claim to be "cultured," whatever that may entirely encompass, but at least I try. I enjoy a good museum, I've seen more plays and musicals than your average person, and I would gladly jump on the chance to take a little jaunt outside the country or attend an opera. Call me crazy, or desperate to experience new things. Either way, I want it.
Ans now I'm back to adventure, back to living life well, having fun while doing so, all while being scared to death. Lovely. What a way to live.
