Tip of the Hat to Imagination
One of the best parts about being an uncle is rewatching my favorite movies from when I was a kid. It involves putting in a DVD I own or one from the local library. The entire experience is nostalgic bliss.
Speaking of which, I just finished watching the 1971 classic film ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’ with my niece and mom. Three generations of movie-watchers who differ in cinematic preferences yet this trip down memory lane will always remain one of the all-time greatest films to all who watch it.
Case in point…
That’s what Tuesdays are all about can be all about.
P.S. The world still misses the kind spirit and pure imagination of Gene Wilder.
Happy Monday!
It’s important to know what you want in life. Very important. The world is filled with infinite choices and opportunities. Every decision we make has consequences and every outcome leads us down a different, ever-mysterious path.
So, once again…I want my bacon served crispy yet flavorful.
To be fair, if bacon isn’t cooked properly, the rest of your day really is thrown off.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.
It Was 1980-Something
“Flashback Friday” is supposed to evoke a fond memory from our past, typically during our formative years. If a Guns N’ Roses music video from 1987–in front of and behind the camera footage–doesn’t qualify, then I don’t know what does.
Sweet memory of mine indeed, both musically and the time period that’s long gone. The era, the unrestrained rock n’ roll lifestyle on-and-off the stage, the city and the musicians all lined up for Guns N’ Roses for several years for something that was uniquely epic before, well, you know.
But now it’s better again. It’s a flashback that came full circle for a flash forward.
Happy Flashback Friday.
Just Keep at It
In the era when athletes and their BFF sports commentators promote every single shot, assist and human movement as the greatest feats the sport and world have ever seen, it seems fitting essential to travel back in time to the ’90s for a reality check.
The year was 1999, the sponsor was this small upstart called Nike, the advertising agency was Wieden+Kennedy and the player was Michael Jordan. Yes, arguably the greatest basketball player ever.
For a star athlete to look at basketball, sports and life that way would be quite the leap these days.
Happy Throwback Thursday.
