obsession


my wife said to me today "are you still doing your blog?", and of course i know i couldn't leave my faithful fellow readers (all 5 of you) without a little anchor each month. i am at a loss for ideas, because my wife is very commit ed to her blog, and in doing so gets to takes all our family stories (the good, and the bad), and put them down on the internet for all to read. she has a much larger audience to entertain, so she wins that war (hands down), so that leaves me with just the left overs (which isn't much of anything) to blog about. with that in mind, i'm sure you know by now that i usually like to waste your time writing about whatever thoughts or opinions are going on in that little area full of grey matter (at least that what i believe it is there), and put them down on internet paper for you to read. so as i was thinking about the question posed to me by my wife today i started to think about what i could type that would make a difference in the lives of those who have the undertaking of spending their time reading my posts, and trying to rationalize why they just wasted whatever amount of time it just took to read it. with this in mind i came across something that has been on my mind lately "obsession". last week for a little treat i purchased a $5.00 movie for my older son as a reward for all the hard work he's been putting into his schooling, and behaving. the movie is "charlie and the chocolate factory", the updated remake piece of junk done a few years ago. i hold willy wonka and chocolate factory as one of my all time favorites, but that is besides the point. back to the topic at hand, so i made this purchase, and gave it to him on wed (of this past week). since then he has watched the movie 4 (possibly 5) times. he loves the movie so much that tonight for some family time we played charades, and movie quotes and every time it was his turn all he would quote or act out was something from the movie (including things from the 2nd disc which are the special feature that no one watches). he even got upset with himself cause that was all he could think about doing when we where playing. this obsession isn't a first for him (or any of the anchor's other family members). my younger son can only discuss and play with transformers, and my wife barely functions without reviewing, and posting on her blog. as i out my family members for their current obsessions it's only fair that i out myself as well. my current obsession is.................................................. tune in next time to find out what is the anchor's current obsession, and is he currently getting professional help for it. just remember that in the movie willy wonka there was 5 golden tickets, and could so there was only 5 winners. i have 5 readers to my blog which means that each of you get a golden ticket in my book.
