Cinderella

Do we all have our happy endings or is it just a dream made up for those who are unhappy? People have their fairy tales to keep them on the "right path" or to give them hope, but are these fairy tales true? Let's take the classic view of Cinderella.

THE FACTS:
We have a young girl with an "evil" guardian and her equally "evil" step siblings. The poor young girl is enslaved by these evil people being made to do the grunt work of the household. Enter the prince who NEEDS to find a wife. Throw in a ball that Cinderella isn't allowed to go to. Add in a dash of fairy godmother, a pinch of lost glass shoes and the rest is happily ever after.

THE POINT:
Now we are getting to the main point of this discussion; what is HAPPILY EVER AFTER? We hear it all the time, but do we know what it means? I had a conversation with the leading experts on this matter and here is what we have concluded.

THE DISSCUSSION:

THE PROFESSOR: The happily ever after stems from the wanting of human nature to have a good ending. It is just a thrist brought on by our ancestors as a need for poetic justice. The step-family? They get nothing while meek, good little Cinderella gets it all. The story must end so we as humans need to let it hanging. And this hanging gives us the sense of poetic justice.

THE PREACHER: Cinderella is whom we should all strive to be! When she is told what to do she does it! As she listens to what she is told and she recieves SALVATION! Hapily ever after is the eternal salvation given to the meek, humble girl that we should all be like! AMEN!

ALL: Amen?

THE EMO/GOTH*: Cinderella is the girl nobody gets. Happily ever after is the euphoria she feels after releasing the inner darkness that lays wothin the extreme depths of her soul.

THE REALIST: Cinderella had kids and died. That's all it boils down to...WE ALL DIE

THE WALLFLOWER:Well I think...

ALL: SHUT UP!

THE HIPPIE: Cinderella was a groovy chick and she found her far out man in a peaceful explosion of the mind and they were left in a field of flowers forever. Mind blowing isn't it?

THE CHILD:She lived happily ever after.

ME: Well thank you all and I hope we can have another intellectual discussion like this again.

WHAT I THINK:
As we change and grow we see things a little bit different. So what is happily ever after? It is what you make it. Believe in your happily ever after, but sometimes listen to what others say too. Well this has been another pondering of an unhinged mind; tune in next time to here me use the word "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia." Good day...

*I know gothes and emos are not the same thing to some, and exactly the same to others, I am using the two terms loosely even though they have their distinct differences

What better way?

I do not have class today, so what better way to spend it? Not doing homework obviously...blogging!!

I feel like crap, all I want to do is sleep. It is snowing but I prefer it to snow at night instead of during the day. There is just something magical about awaking to an unspoiled landscape.

Right now I just want to sleep, but I really need to work on Christmas gifts and my play and set. I wish that person would stop being so confusing. Why does this person have to be like this? **SIGH**

I am ready to go back home! I love the dorms, but I love home too. I really miss my younger siblings and would do anything for them. Well there is your randomness for the day...tune in next time for some possible poetry. This is collegegal signing off, stay classy San Diego!
