Happiness

Something I strive to achieve. It is something I want, need, have.

We all have happiness, but it is not always around.

Just 'being' happy is simple enough to say, but when it comes to being in that realm, do i truly want to be happy, or do i want to create a fake happiness so that everyone around me can be happy ( i know it sounds stupid, i could actually be genuinely happy, and people would be happy that im happy). I mean i do get it, i do that alot, try to be happy for the sake of being happy for other people around me, so that they can tell im happy (even though some obviously know I'm not). In most cases i am fine being that way, im used to it, you could say.

I just want to be happy. Am i afraid of being happy? If something goes wrong and unhappiness ensues, am i just able to say well i wasn't happy in the first place, thus making me right all along, knowing that i couldn't be happy because unhappiness was coming!

I love my life and everything that surrounds me in and out of it. Its wonderful!

I know i can be happy, there are times when i have been so genuinely happy, i feel like i am glowing...so i know it is there, but why not all the time. What keeps me from being that way? i love being that way! what makes me feel that way?

I love the people i love, and i know they love me. Its amazing.

Im scared of it i think. Scared of being genuinely happy. Because if i were to be genuinely happy all the time, i get that some people may not like it (though i do not know this for certain), it may not suit them. And that would again make me unhappy, and make fake happiness come out to play.

I need to do it. Create happiness.

Yes we're gay, but

Coraline

Coraline

I have always loved and been fascinated by stop animation and claymation. The people involved in creating these worlds is astounding. I don't think i could really have the patience for it actually. So when i first saw a preview for this film i knew that i wanted to see it. Also with the director from Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas (One of my most favourite movies ever), how could i say no.

The film itself was entertaining, albeit it seemed slow paced but it jogged through those moments quite nicely, and it did indeed have it's funny moments. The vocal talents was quite a surprise, i had no idea who was involved, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Terri Hatcher (that one i knew)

The premise of the film is that Coraline just wants to be noticed or have attention paid to her by her family after just moving to new house. And in this house there is a secret door, and when its unlocked its bricked up...but when she goes to sleep she discovers it is open and ready for her to enter, the only issue is that this other 'world' is a little bit different, her family and friends have buttons for eyes *add shocking music here*

As it is a stereotypical childrens film you quickly gather what the outcome of the film will be "what world will she choose to be apart of'" i still feel that it was a wonderful movie. The music was beautiful to listen to (its not a musical all singing and all dancing movie just so you know).

The only issue i had and it was with the film itself. It was those noisy little bastards at the back of the cinema who were constantly moving about and just being childlike. It grated my nerves, i should have gone to the cinema clerk and told them to kick them out! They were only young teens but still those bastards ruined the cinema experience for everyone in the theatre. Grr!

I would give this film a 3.5 out of 5
