Are you Groot? Are you an ent? A would-be time lord? Elrond’s second cousin from Montana?
Who are you? If fantasy plays no role in your life, I confess I don’t understand you at all. In my world, Groots and Rockets make life better. We need Talosians, elves, wizards and flying dragons. I’d love to be able to say, “Welcome to Earth!”
I am not oblivious to Independence Day scenarios, but at least for now we mostly get the world we invent in our own heads — especially if we sensibly turn off the news.
Life Coaching Tip for today: Turn off the news! Scour Rotten Tomatoes for a film you missed that’s on your must- or should-see list. Download the film. Or buy a DVD if you must. When evening rolls around, get some popcorn, candy or even a gas station slushy and relax while the G-20 go on without you. You can read a political synopsis later if you care enough.
But for today, put on your comfy slippers and slip into a good fantasy or adventure. You are what you eat. That applies to movies and television, as well as Takis and nachos. Is the news giving you indigestion? Marvel superheroes can cure your peptic discomfort.
Captain America makes my whole world better.
Who makes your world better?
I get most of news briefly at work from Yahoo. I was one of the last people on earth to learn about 9/11 because I had no radio in my car and I NEVER watch news on TV. I hate it. It’s almost always bad. I prefer to remain oblivious.
I’m fond of Guardians of the Galaxy. We are Groot.
And we should be Groot!
