What if life was a movie...

I love watching movies. I don't get to do it that often and almost rarely get to go to the theater to watch them. But since, it was winter break, I made it to the rental store and picked up some good movies. I just got done watching The Brothers Bloom, great movie! I would highly recommend you watch it.

But, the thing with me watching movies are.... I think too much. Not that I think too much while watching the movie, but after. How great would life be if it was a movie... traveling the world, hoping on a flight to some exotic locale, being part of an elaborate con (like in The Brothers Bloom), finding love, and living life. Watching movies is a complete escape for me as long as it's a good movie. And when the credit roll, I realize that I am back to reality.

My reality is that I am a single mother with responsiblities. I have a child that I have to take care of and any wish to travel the world is nearly impossible at the moment. I do want to travel, but know that I will probably not be able to do it any time soon. I still have quite a few years until I am done with my educational goals, which delays any chance to have the funds to travel anywhere besides to the grocery store. My son is still young, so I wouldn't be able to drag him around the world until he was in his teens. So for now, I will have to stick to paying around $5 for a movie rental to take me around the world.

If life was a movie wouldn't it be grand!
