Lisa Hears a Who

I took my 4 year old to the movie Horton Hears a Who the other day. And as I was sitting there trying to stay awake at the matinee surrounded by a packed house of everyone else in town with the same idea on a dreary Sunday...my mind began to wander.
Do you ever think that we could be living on a tiny speck on a flower and some giant elephant is protecting us? I mean seriously, don't you ever look up to the sky and just think that there are beings watching us, manipulating our universe to see the reprocussions of their actions. Or some creature is right now running through the jungle carrying the flower that holds our speck of a universe trying to find a safe spot. That is WAY beyond the plot of the movie obviously but it gets you thinking. Or like the other Jim Carrey movie The Truman Story where there is town inside a bubble and the people get to watch his life every day on TV. I would guess that if this were true, my life would be set to the season pass setting on everyone's TiVo. "Ha....look at her, what in the hell is she thinking wearing that? Oh my god, the poor thing look at her husband sitting on the couch again. I bet he went out and drank last night. When is he going to learn. Wow, she really needs to hire a decorator. When is she going to learn some discipline, those kids are terrors! Get over it lady, no matter how many sit ups you do, you will never be able to wear those pants again." Can't you hear it.
One of my all time favorite shows is Big Brother...(in fact getting pumped up right now for tonights show! ) But can't you see it, the rest of the world watching the show of my life. Popping their popcorn, putting the kids to bed early, snuggling on the couch, watching my reality show! I just wish I had a diary room to spill my secrets, and trash talk everyone. Its a good thing I can't get voted out of my own life, or I am sure I would be the first to go!
Horton, can you hear us!

Ok, you went way out there with this one. It's like that scene in MIB where the universe is inside of a marble and some giant aliens are carrying it around in a marble bag.

I'd watch your reality show, and then hang out with you a lot more often so I could be on TV and finally be "discovered." ha ha ha!
