A Plethora Of Useless Information




Having the summers off, affords me time to read, watch and pile up so much information!!! My personal time of research. It's life altering joy, that I intend to share, which makes it double-JOY!! Two documentaries that I have seen in the last couple of days, everyone should watch. One on HBO was called, "How to Die in Oregon." Keeping one foot on the banana peel, ready to slid into grief, I did not think this would be something I needed to watch. However, people and their choices about life and death have always fascinated me. Like abortion, its a hot topic. Where God comes into focus, his will. I seem to remember he gave us "free will", something about living with our choices. It's all a personal decision. My thoughts are that you make the decision to end your life if you wish BEFORE the pain kicks in. During my first bout with bearing a child, I hollered to the nurses and doctors to KILL ME!!! put a pillow over my face, I'm done. Pain can make you crazy, so I'm glad they did not have the right-to-die law passed at that time. If you, want to choose at the end, when the end will come, and you are racked out with pain, drink up. This documentary was beautiful, leaving this earth with grace. Something to view and think about for sure. This film won the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, grand jury prize.

Much to my surprise, this early morning either on Starz or HBO, not sure, another critically acclaimed documentary about the Sherman Brothers. Who are these brothers??? They wrote every Disney song known to humans, and many more. AND they worked together all their life in unhappiness!!! Their horrible discord and turmoil, brought us MARY POPPINS!! how does that happen??? They had estranged families who did not even speak to each other, and they wrote Jungle Book Music, It's a Small World, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!! Family baggage, history, dynamics of big time dysfunction and Chim Chim Cher-ee and Feed The Birds!!! Fascinating info coming my way, because I have time to look for it!!! They wrote the music for Charlotte's Web, Winnie the Pooh theme song, and The Tigger Movie. Tom Sawyer and Bedknobs and Broomsticks!!! Millions of songs, millions of awards and they were depressed!!!!! Wonderful stuff, take a minute to scan the channels. Book reviews tomorrow, I'm loving the summer!!!
