  Ok...so as cheesy as this may sound, I just saw The Village with Brian, Justin and Aaron and although yes, it was pretty lame, there was something in that movie that caught my attention immediately. This whole idea of having a "black box" in which you put all your secrets, lock them up, and never allow ANYONE to look in intrigues me.
I don't want to ruin the movie for all of you who are dying to see it, but (without giving away all the mindboggling twists throughout the movie; notice the dripping sarcasm) the characters in this movie all have these horrible experiences and instead of dealing with the issue and accepting it, they pick up and create this alternate reality, shoving all their "dirty little secrets" in a black box and sticking it in the corner. Yeah, I think we've discovered a new wave of counseling people! And I'm coining this one! How bout it? I mean, think about it...you're sitting at home over a glass of wine with some friends over for the evening. Suddenly someone notices the "box that won't be named" in the corner and asks, "So, I heard that you've been caught drunk in a bar several times this week, John..." "SHHH! " you reply. "THAT'S IN THE BOX! WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE THINGS IN THE BOX! " and then quickly change the subject with a sip of wine and a slight smile.
How freeing would that be! Ok, please understand that I am totally kidding here, but really, don't we try to do that anyway? I have a black box in the corner of my living room. I take it out sometimes for rememberance sake and then try to lock it up again before anyone can see. And although I am trying to unpack it for good and reveal the contents, it's terrifying at times.
Let's be honest...Don't you have a box too? Oh, and one more thing, on a lighter note...check this out: urlLink http://www.no-nothingrock.com/articles/daler/ and click on the TUNAK TUNAK TAN link. I laughed so hard, a little bit of pee snuck out! "your life will be changed. you will dance. you will dance like you've never danced in your life. " ....lol, I'm still laughing.
