In Which the honeymoon ended and Jerusalem is falling

Good evening, dear friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you? Hope your new week is opening towards a nice beginning. One step at a time. How is the weather? Here, at least the temperature is amene, no small feat concerning the tropics. As for me, I am okay. They day went slow in the beginning, and remained so through most of it. I was tired and napped through most of it, though little rest I get. I was plagued by an awful nightmare. The good thing about dreams is that you can usually tell they are not real, some detail slips out and you can unveil its lack of existence. Doesn't make such nightmare any more pleasant, but it does make it lesser evil of a moment.  I have been playing the game of the season for me, which is Victoria 3. Of course, such game having the feature of delayed gratification and mental build up, it is not always at the moment a good experience, and I am not saying there is guaranteed catharsis afterwards, but what I mean is: after you allow your mi...

In which we talk about Alice in Wonderland!

Hello everyone and happy Saturday! It's so nice to be here sharing this new post with you, always something that makes me happy. Sometimes it's hard to write, and I talked before about reducing the schedule, and college is back, but for now I'm keeping the 4 posts per week thing, as far as I can! How are you today?? How are things going??? As usual, I wish you the best!!
Can't believe I'm reaching the 2 decade mark tomorrow! Wow, I'll be turning 20... In the 18th century, that would make me a lucky lad! Even between the nobility, people would die much younger than that, behing the whigs, the art, and the words, it was a grimm reality! Many diseases, few medications available, ignorance and all that! I love the 18th century, but I love living in the AMAZING 21st century much more, I wouldn't trade that for any fancy coat in the world! Anyway, I'm so excited for tomorrow!
Okay, but enough of me talking about my birthday, today I wanted to share with you guys a movie that I watched recently and that I fell in love with, already watched it 3 times and counting! If you read the title you probably already guessed it! ALICE IN WONDERLAND!!!!!! Important to say, THE ORIGINAL ONE, NOT THE 2010 VERSION, I'M NEVER SURE WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THAT ONE (great aesthetics, amazing cast, Tim Burton, but also bad DUMB script, a plot boring to death, and I hate what they did to most of the characters (it used to be one of my favorite movies though)).



This is one of the movies that I thought before about watching, and that was it. I have a lot of films in this category, even though, like I said, I watched the 2010 version of Alice (that has little to do with the original Lewis Carroll's book) and I also watched the 2016 continuation of it, BUT I never have seen the 1951 version. I was thinking about this movie a lot recently, and finally, in the end of last month, I said enough. I searched for it and was determined to see it FINALLY! And was one of the best things I did this year so far, I read the book Alice in Wonderland lots of times since 2014, and the movie is as good as the book! The story on how the daydreamy Alice got bored in a history lesson taught by her sister and ends up in a colorful fantastic-nightmarrish-but-also-charming-and-silly land, her wonderland, is absolutely superb! All the characters are odd and full of life, and the whole thing is expontaneous and proudly nonesensical, and thank Goodness for that! It doesn't justify itself, it's just a amazing story for the sake of being an amazing story! I'm no strange to Alice, she and her story have been an inspiration for me, voluntarily and unvoluntarily for a long time now, I always have dreamed of escaping this world to a fantastic one, in which everything that makes sense will stop making sense, and what doesn't make sense will make sense! Many of my personal stories, the ones I manage to finish, are like that too, I couldnt recommend it enough! The aesthetics of it is so beautiful, it's so beautifully executed, the songs are great, and it's so charming as well! I'm absolutely in love with the Cheshire cat, and I do like the Queen of Hearts too, though she could use a chill pill, and of course I love the white rabbit and also I love Alice, I identify too much with her, as I said, I too have my head in the clouds!
In the end, it's good I have my head in the clouds, otherwise I wouldn't even have this blog to begin with!
I'll definitely write more about Alice and his Wonderland in the near future, it's too good to just one post! As for today, I think this is it! I'm so happy to have you here, dear reader! You're the very best and you know it, don't try to deny it! See you next time, and a very merry unbirthday to you!!!
