The Awkward Allure: A Critique of ‘Napoleon Dynamite’
A Quirky Journey That Doesn’t Quite Arrive
'Napoleon Dynamite' is a quirky time capsule of early-2000s awkwardness. Its offbeat humor and peculiar characters evoke a polarized response—either you're charmed or you're not. While it has earned cult status, its plot meanders aimlessly, potentially leaving viewers as listless as its protagonist. A unique but divisive experience. It sucked!

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

The New Heaven and the New Earth
Anyone out there that believe in the idea of the New Heaven and the New Earth. I have read in a spiritual newsletter that this is when Heaven comes down to Earth. There will be no pain of any kind. There will be plenty of food and water. It will be a chance to catch up with family members that have gone before.

I will never forget the era of "vote for Pedro" shirts. I can't wait to tell my kids about that mythical era.
I love that movie. I feel like the listlessness captures being a teen in the early 2000s
