Begins. Falls. Rises.

Happy Spiderman Day!

So.

Today I finally saw Captain America.

One down, three to go.

Well, until I can finally see Avengers.

I have yet to see Thor, Iron Man 2, and the Hulk.

Whoo!

And please appreciate this:

I love the symbolism in this movie. 

**SPOILER ALERT**

One of my favorite bits of this beeeaaauuutifffuuull film was when the secret to climbing out of the prison was revealed - the only way out, was to go without the safety ropes.

Basically, you had to scale a round wall with only small stones jutting out for support - and with only one lifeline, a simple rope. Once you made it about 3/4 of the way, you had to leap from one platform to the other - and so far, almost no one had made it. Most simply fell down, the rope's hold on them keeping the climber from plunging to his death, but also banging him against the stone.

But one day, a small child (who was born in the prison) was able to make it.

"How?", you may ask?

Simply make the climb without any ropes, any support. 

How amazing is that? The only way to be successful is to take risks, to put your whole heart into the jump. And that is a wonderful lesson for Mr. Batman. 

And the fact that it was a kid to show up all of the macho men.

That is pretty cool too.

"Let's face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England, quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guineapig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? We ship by truck but send cargo by ship. We have noses that run and feet that smell. We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway. And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on. And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother isn't Mop?"

So... I found a Zumba class on Youtube - taught by a guy.

Who is young.

With a british accent.

Goodness gracious.

Just found a new favorite exercise.

Anyone wanna see Step Up Revolution with me?
