The Happy 101 Award Marches On...

The GreatWhiteDope chose moi - and another 9 winners - to continue an 'award'-thing-like post Called the Happy 101 Award, it is all about sharing the things that bring you joy. So, having been given this award - thankyou verymuch - I need to continue the joy and, as I sit in this internet cafe [grrrr] it seemed a great way to get another post up...

So ... 10 things that is ...

SHARE TEN (10) THINGS THAT BRING YOU JOY:

1) Jurassic Park and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie - if only because they bring me back to my childhood and the many, many weekends these were watched.

2) Listening to a song that gives you goosebumps - for example, an 11-minute track by Underworld that pays off nearly 6 minutes into the song... (8 Ball...)

3) Hearing kids in my class discuss art randomly in conversation - whether it be why Van Goghs work is so expensive or how they can see they have improved since they've been in my class.

4) Seeing U2 live - in fact, seeing any band I obsess about live: Radiohead, Coldplay...

5) Watching Michael Jackson perform - simply flawless. How can a human move in such a way??? How can someone have such a voice!

6) The Great White Dope said this, but I agree, with the joy found when finding those online folk who have the same obsessive interest about cinema as I.

7) Laughing so hard you are in tears - namely in one instance when a close friend and I were quoting 'The Office' and simply couldn't stop and, more recently, when David Cross performed for twenty minutes and nearly killed me... "fool me seven times - what am I? idiot of the month?"

8) A certain buzz that happens when I am walking home from work [on a good day...] and I think "Man, I'm an Art teacher, how fantastic is that??". Teachers out there - we are a part of such a great profession! A certain pride is never a bad thing.

9) Getting some positive feedback on the podcast - and realising that not everyone is sick of us ... yet ...

10) Reading some incredible news about a sequel to a film I adored. (Batman 3... Jurassic Park 4... )

A Prize from 'He Shot Cyrus' blog!

Fantastico!

Turns out, I managed to win the 'Thanks For Writing' competition on 'He Shot Cyrus'! We were talking about it on the 'Simon and Jo Film Show', I entered my - incorrect - votes for Oscars nominations and now, voila, I've won! I rarely win anything! Good times!

Happy days indeed!

That link to his website: He Shot Cyrus and maybe you could be the winner in April!
