You can't stop me

You can trip me, you can sabotage me, you stab me in the back or the front, you can spit in my face and curse me or seduce me and lull me into temporary complacency, but you cannot stop me. You maybe able to make me bleed or scream out in pain, you can even make me roll on the floor in all manner of agony, crying like a little girl, but you can't stop me. You can demoralize and dishearten me, but you cannot stop me. I wont lie and say that everything you do won't hurt me, scar me, or cause me pain. You may even be able to make me drag along like a ragged torn up zombie, limping along on one foot, but you can't stop me. You can destroy me, but you cannot defeat me. No human can stop me, - save one. The only human being that can defeat me, -- is me,... and I'm one bad mother.

Woah he's alive!

Did you know that Dick Van Dyke was alive? I kid you not!
I was at the movies the other day, watching previews before Wallace & Gromit, and there was a preview for this little cutsie type monkey cartoon... Curious George, that's the one! So yea, the little fella's caretaker does look very 50sish in his safari outfit and his equally 1950s manly-calm-yet-youthfully-charismatic demeanor. So at the end of the preview they were listing the star's voices. There was drew barrymore who probably makes the ape sounds (or not) and some others, then there was Dick Van Dyke! I thought he was dead.
But I'm glad he's not. Don't ask me why. I'm not sure. But the point is, the dude is not only alive, but still in the film industry. I'll need to google his picture to see what he looks like now.

Ok, so I've watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang one too many times. But at least that car could of kicked Marry Poppin's ass. It could probably fly faster too. Man was she uptight and full of herself. And what's with her standing like Charlie Chaplin? For some reason I'm even imagining she was wearing the same shoes as Chaplin. She really seemed like the kind of person that could break broomsticks with sphincter muscle alone. That's not to say that I didn't secretly enjoy parts of the movie as a kid. But then again, Kids aren't picky and can watch a movie 3 times, back to back, in one sitting, as if it were a rollercoaster ride.

So the point of all this is that Dick Van Dyke is alive while Danny Kay has been dead for yonks. Time moves on steadily and mercilessly.
