Ok so, when I first read the assingment for class on tuesday I was kind of scared. I didn't really know what to expect because I'm not really the type of guy that watches musicals. I was rudely mistaken; "Dr. Horrible" sing along blog was very funny. The actor who plays Dr. Horrible, I've seen before on other television comedys, so I knew he was going to be funny.
It started off kind of weird. I wasn't really sure if Dr. Horrible was a joke, or if he really was Dr. Horrible. I thought maybe he was just playing a goofy part as a joke. But as the show progressed I realized that he indeed was "Dr. Horrible". The whole show he was trying to accepted in to some kind of a hero league of some sort. He only had to do one though first... kill someone!
I think you can take a valuable lesson out of this. Sometimes we are so blinded by our long term goals, that we tend to ignore the stuff in between that help us get there. Usually we end up falling flat on our face. In this case, Dr. Horrible didn't kill who intended on, in fact he killed a girl who he adored very much. All because he was so caught up in the dream of his. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying dreams are bad by any means. I'm just saying that sometimes you need to stop and smell the flowers along the way. Dreams start small and eventually get big. There are alot of little stuff we need to do before that dream can become a reality.
If I was to go out tomorrow and say my dream is to be a proffesional baseball player and expect it to happen that next day, then I'm on something. I would have to put many hours in the weight room, eat a well balanced diet, run and throw every day and not be affraid of failure. Thats how dreams come true!
