mermaids

If you could be anything-ANYTHING- what would you want to be? i'm not talking careers, i mean something to BE. i would want to be a mermaid. yes i sound nuts. but you know what? mermaids are beautiful and they can have green hair or blue hair and still be so. they may not be able to walk the earth but they have gorgeous fins to swim the whole entire oceans. they get to see all the beauty that i as a human wish i could see. mermaids can sing, they can seduce, they have big sultry eyes. so yeah, i want to be a mermaid.

when i was younger i would watch THE LITTLE MERMAID over and over again. i acted it out in my room and i played with little mermaid toys in the bath. i really just wanted to be Ariel. i know she had her struggles but a song could cure them all. she met her handsome prince and in the end she had it all; land, sea, intelligence. when i close my eyes i can feel the water surrounding me in all its brilliance. being a mermaid would be delightful.

ps- that movie on disney channel, THE 13TH YEAR, was a pretty good mermaid- er, merman- movie.
