On my 24th Birthday it seems appropriate to play a song which sums
up my life.
This is the first film we took my little sister to see as a wee nipper.
She cried. Quite understandably, I cry still when Mostafa has his life
ripped away from him. It taught us a cruel lesson in the value of life,
that we must never run into elephant graveyards as naievely as Simba
and Nala- especially not without a hornbill by your side.
The "Circle of Life " has got me into quite a lot of trouble during my
lifetime. When I throw myself into some tomfoolery like tobogganing
in the dark or going to the snowpark I hear the "Ahhh Savenya" and it
creates an epic soundtrack which gives me the boost of courage to
commit to such stupid acts.
It also has entered the thought into my mind that the Lion King style of
christening isn't used often enough in Modern Day Society, and I am most
keen to flare up this trend yet again. By using any means possible:the garden
shed, a balcony, bannisters, mezzanine levels, the kitchen table,a restaurant
table, a car roof, an office desk, the top floor of a bus (to name just a few): would
provide you with the perfect plateau of which to declare your child to the world
for the first time. Coin this with a boombox (portable if needs be, or a car stereo
if opting for the car roof) to play Circle of Life at a level deemed unsafe and worthy
of an ASBO, are all that would be required to re-enact the greatest christening that
the world has ever seen.
With a few minor adjustments and the provision of make up (I recommend E.L.C
for sensitive skin) and a few feathers you can capture the faces of animals smiling
from the crowd.
It is neither expensive nor complicated YET no one is keen.
Why?
I understand that Health and Safety requirements would need to be met but that nothing
that a couple of mattresses on the ground beneath the potential dropping area shouldn't
eradicate.
