A Graceful Swim

It's Shark Week on the Discovery Channel.
Soo much Sharkness. Soo much blood.
Whew.
I actually find Sharks to be fascinating while also terrifying.
I remember my first encounter with sharks...was at Sea World in Florida.
They have this Shark Tunnel there.
Where you literally go through a tunnel with the walls holding back water filled with...yes Sharks.
lol I was like 7 then and terrified to go into that dark place and be surrounded by water on all sides.
Needless to say, I held very tightly onto my daddy's hand while we walked through.
While it was dark and eerie down there...I actually found the whole experience to be thrilling.
It was cool to have sharks swimming all around me.
And afterwards I got a small shark stuffed animal because I thought they were cool.
I haven't been back to Sea World since then, but I want to return there.
There are other places that have sharks that I've been to,
but not in a tunnel where you can be surrounded on all sides.
With all those teeth. But you halfway forget those teeth, just watching the sharks as they swim gracefully by.

Save the Sharks! :)

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

The Dream

There was a camp going on in a grassy area. And there were a bunch of girls there that had gone off elsewhere, apparently they'd been kidnapped and the kidnappers only wanted the girls of the group. One of the guys after waiting in the car for the girls to come back went after them when they didn't. He snuck in after one of the woman security guards and ducked into a washroom area. He hid in one of the stalls and hung off of the hooks on the back of the door so he wouldn't be seen if the guard came into the washroom. Which she did. She had brown hair pulled back into a harsh ponytail so all the hair hugged her scalp. She paused just outside his door and she was talking to two other women who worked there and were in other changing rooms doing cleaning chores. He was trying to stay unnoticed by all three of them, but he met their eyes a couple of times and had to break cover and run....he ran and hid under some benches in the chapel where the girls were being held, but he got caught and was changed into the Beast (from Beauty and the Beast). He was locked up in a castle designed from out of the rocks where he spent his time clambering over the pillars and moving from room to room, waiting for 'True Love's Kiss' to change him back. Years passed and a girl named Belle was walking along a fence with another person and she saw a piece of the fence (it was a wire fence) that had a barbwire gap that was wide enough for her to to slip inbetween. The other person tried to stop her from going but Belle returned a second time after crossing the fence the first time and she wandered into the 'castle' There she encountered Beast, and it was love at first sight. They had an automatic connection that they were supposed to be together and kissed while they were falling off the cliff upside down heading to the water. They found out later that they needed to do true love's kiss in order to break his spell. So Belle and Beast kissed...but nothing happened. So they tried to repeat their first kiss -falling off the cliff- but that didn't work either. Apparently the kiss had to be 'more magical' to work. Only they didn't get the chance to try anything else because Belle had been taken. Beast went through his castle to an old dilapidated house in a crevice searching for clues on how to find her and he encountered Gaston, also looking to rescue Belle. The two teamed up and went into the mansion that was a golden color searching for belle. There was a game on the wall that had a series of colored circles surrounded by silver on a track. One of the colors was a light purple color and after hitting two of the other circles they rolled off their different tracks and sent the light purple one into movement and flowed into the next room. Beast blinked and they were in the next room and there was Belle tied up on a ramp. She went down the ramp and made a jump her mouth open and I shot a laser pointer dot into her mouth that was supposed to set her free, only the game seemed to reset and we had to shoot the dots with Belle on the ramp. Beast shot a couple of the dots and was trying to get the dot into Belle's mouth when Gaston shot the purple dot. It shocked Beast because that purple dot represented Belle's heart. He turned to Gaston shouting at him. "You idiot! you just killed her!" And Gaston...was rather calm. He said. "I know." and then the master mind behind all the kidnappings showed up as Gaston stabbed Beast. He was a traitor. Belle wasn't dead as Beast had managed to fix the mistake, but now Beast was fatally injured as this menacing dark robed figure in a turban laughed and explained that he needed to get all the kingdoms to join under him and in order to do that he needed all the heiress's signatures signing the kingdom over to him. His plan was laid out like a channel guide before my eyes with flashes of different television shows, and blank areas zoomed past my vision showing how he needed to get all the different boxes under his control to rule the world. Beast couldnt' understand it, and he said that he needed Belle for true love's kiss. The evil figure laughed and said "The spell only works for those who have lips." and Beast as well a beast did not have lips to kiss. Which was why the spell didn't work. You needed to be human. Beast felt his hope fade, but he needed to save Belle and her kingdom so he considered doing the unthinkable. If he could get Belle to get close to him he could bite her and turn her into a Beast as well. And then the evil figure couldn't get her to sign away the kingdom because it would only work on human kingdoms, and Belle would no longer be human....

Then the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away....
and I became myself again. :)
