Radio Flyer " My Favorite Movie "


Radio Flyer is a 1992 drama-fantasy film from Columbia Pictures. It is a Stonebridge Entertainment Production in association with Donner/Shuler-Donner Productions (now known as simply The Donners' Company).
The film, directed by Richard Donner and, as uncredited, David Mickey Evans, is executive produced by David Mickey Evans and Michael Douglas; and stars Elijah Wood, Joseph Mazzello, Tom Hanks, Lorraine Bracco, Adam Baldwin, and Ben Johnson.
Filming locations included Novato, California, and Columbia Airport, California.
Plot
Novato, California: Two young brothers (Mikey and Bobby) escape their chaotic family life with dreams of flying. Inspired by a local legend about a 14-year-old bicyclist named Fisher, they attempt to build a working airplane, and in the process of transforming their ordinary red wagon into a fantastic flying machine, transform their own lives into an extraordinary adventure. The boys' abusive stepfather, nicknamed "The King," always beats younger brother Bobby when he is drunk, causing Mikey to care for Bobby a lot more. Their mother Mary has no idea about this abuse.
At one point in the film, Bobby fits wings and a lawnmower engine to a Radio Flyer wagon, enabling him to fly away from home. There has been speculation that this fantastical journey was intended as a metaphor for suicide, but this has been repeatedly denied by Donner.

My Favorite Song " Taylor Swift ' Dear John ' "

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps,
praying the floor won't fall through, again
My mother accused me of losing my mind,
but I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky
and go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game,
but you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
tonight
Well I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why

Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress,
cried the whole way home.
I should've known

Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said "run as fast as you can"

Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress,
cried the whole way home

Dear John,
I see it all, now it was wrong
Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?
I should've known

You are an expert at sorry,
and keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you run dry
with tired, lifeless eyes
cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me,
so don't look now:
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress,
cried the whole way home.
I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should've known
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known

Taylor Swift " My Favorite Singer "

Early life
Taylor Alison Swift ( American Top country pop singer , actress , songwritter , musician )was born on December 13, 1989 to Andrea Gardner (née Finlay), a homemaker, and Scott Kingsley Swift, a stockbroker. She was born and raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Her maternal grandmother, Majorie Finlay, was an opera singer. Swift has a younger brother, Austin.
When she was in fourth grade, she won a national poetry contest with a three-page poem entitled "Monster In My Closet". When Swift was 10, a computer repairman showed her how to play three chords on a guitar, sparking her interest in learning the instrument. Afterwards, she wrote her first song, "Lucky You". She began writing songs regularly and used it as an outlet to help her with her pain from not fitting in at school. She was a victim of bullying, and often wrote songs to express her emotions.Swift also started performing at karaoke contests, festivals, and fairs around her hometown. When she was 12, she devoted an entire summer to writing a 350-page novel, which remains unpublished. Her first major show was a well-received performance at the Bloomsburg Fair.Swift attended Hendersonville High School but was subsequently homeschooled for her junior and senior years. In 2008, she earned her high-school diploma.
Swift's greatest musical influence is Shania Twain. Her other influences include LeAnn Rimes, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton, and her grandmother. Although her grandmother was a professional opera singer, Swift's tastes always leaned more toward country music. In her younger years, she developed a love for Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton.She also credits the Dixie Chicks for demonstrating the impact you can make by "stretching boundaries".

Music career

On Wednesday, August 4, 2010, the lead single from the album, "Mine," was leaked onto the internet. Big Machine Records decided to rush the release of the song to counteract the leak.

In 2009, she referenced the rumors that she was dating Taylor Lautner during her monologue while hosting Saturday Night Live.The song "Back to December" off her album Speak Now, which Swift has described as an apology song, has been widely speculated to be dedicated to Lautner. 
In late 2010, Swift briefly dated actor Jake Gyllenhaal. They split in early 2011.
Swift has been reported to be dating Chord Overstreet.
After releasing her 2010 album Speak Now, it was alleged that her song "Enchanted" was dedicated to Adam Young of Owl City. Young responded by posting a cover of the song on February 12, 2011 via his website,  adding the lines: "I was enchanted to meet you too/I was never in love with someone else, I never had somebody waiting on me/Cause you were all of my dreams come true, And I just wish you knew/Taylor, I was so in love with you."
Swift has also been linked to singr/guitarist John Mayer. There has been speculation that the song "Dear John" from her album Speak Now is about Mayer, calling the latter out for an apparent relationship gone sour.

Children Stay Little Forever With Miniature Baby Art

Ansel

Everyone loves babies. What better way to celebrate them than to have miniature sculptures that fit in the palm of your hand? Artist Camille Allen creates very adorable baby sculptures that are sure to make you coo.
Ada

Camille lives in British Columbia, Canada and works in a large studio filled with dolls, doll parts, dolls-in-progress and sculpting supplies. She learned this art from her husband’s grandmother and was taught how to sculpt large lifesize dolls from polymer clay.

Resin Egg Baby

 love babies and have to say that out of all the art I have seen and written about, these baby sculptures are my favorite. Camille is a very talented artist and I’d love to have one of these adorable sculptures in my home. Although, I love pinching baby cheeks but I think I’d have to be careful here or I’d ruin the sculpture.

Does anyone out there own one of these? I’m so tempted to have one of these and would love to hear your opinions on them.
