Okay, movie reviews are not my thing, however, I was compelled in this case. It was an overwhelming compulsion.....I just had to.
It all started when my wife was trying to convince me to go and see this movie. I had absolutely no desire. Well, she won. I went kicking and screaming, but I went. I really didn't want to go see a fat girl sing, and John Travolta in drag in a movie that takes place in 1962. After all there were no special effects. No one died. there was no sex. What a bore!
Tonight I just got back from seeing this movie for a second time. Yes, you heard me right, a second time and this time it was my idea. Gals, I think you know what I mean. Guys, you will just have to trust me.
"Hairspray" is probably the best feel good movie I have seen in years! I was smiling the entire time. I came out wanting to sing and dance. I can't sing and I sure can't dance....but I wanted to anyway. I had to see it for a second time to see if the feeling I had the first time was real, or if someone slipped me some kind if happy pill.
Believe me, it is for real. WOW, what a feeling. If you haven't seen this movie yet, see it. If you have seen it, then you know what I mean. I can't get the music out of my, and I don't want to.

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #19 "Don’t Quit” – Male & Female versions)
(If this is your first time on this site, you may want to begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])
Don't Quit
When things go wrong like they sometimes will;
When the road your trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer, with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When you might have won if you’d stuck it out;
Stick to your task, though the pace seems slow;
You may succeed with one more blow.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.
(Based on a poem by an unknown author)
I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.
- Can you identify something worthwhile in your life (ie. school, job, relationship)...be specific...that you would like to run away from, quit; because it's too hard, or takes up too much time?
- What would happen if you quit?
- What is the reward of you don't quit?
- Now, compare.
