A Lasting Impression

I have to say that nothing is as priceless as reading a book that absolutely transports you back into the wonderment of your childhood.  I know it’s nowhere near Christmas, and whether you are a fan of Santa is beside the point, but this book I got from the bookstore tonight was worth every penny. “(A Wish for opus christmas storyWings That Work” An Opus Christmas Story by Berkeley Breathe) I was suprised at how I knew every page like it was a song from highschool transporting me back to that very vivid moment.  I remember this book absolutely making my day back in 5th grade elementary.  I also can distinctly remember being in awe of the fact that an animated version of the book came on basic television during the Christmas break that year.  As I watched this special I couldn’t help but smile and be overcome with a sense of joy.  I also remember every scene and moment in this memory from watching it 16 years ago.  Even the scenes that didn’t make sense to me then, but do now that I am an adult, still added a special uniqueness to the flavor of this story.  It’s not a “classic” in the Charlie Brown sense of the word, but it is certainly a timeless classic for those who can appreciate the raw heart and quirky honesty of the translation.  So if you want to watch it in its low quality entirety, follow this link and view it in 4 small chapters.  Enjoy…..even if you wait till Christmas to watch it.

    Man, I’ve been hearing a lot about Berkley Breathed lately. He’s got a new book coming out. And there are interviews all over the place. He also did his first comic-con this weekend at Long beach comic-con, it was a pretty good little write up with him, http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=23181

    Also, apparently my title to this entry somehow attracted a truck load of men related spam. Oh the joy of my first experience with blog spam.
