The tortoise diaries

as many of you know (or may not know but are about to find out) The lion king has always been my favorite movie of all time, hands down. no question. …

but i have a deeper understanding of it now, because i have become Simba. after losing my father i have grown just as simba has, for better or for worse.

I was going through my music today (procrastinating not writing a paper) when I stumbled upon this beauty. everything Simba is singing about, everything he was/is thinking is what i thought, everything.

edit: because this thing is being a piece of crap here is a youtube link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crptzMYqPxs

this song does not belong to me but to diseny.

This holds a special place in my heart, this musical was the first that I went and saw with my father. Just hearing the music makes me remember that time, how excited I was to go see it, how excited my dad was to take me. How he pointed out all the different lights (smart lights, LED lights, follow spots) and how he showed me the sound board… But when I look at it now, or hear the music…I just think of how much I miss him. How my life has changed in the past year, how in my own way I’m like simba. Lost.
