Be A Tiger
It's not easy being a large feline, you can ask Tony, Chester or James Spader. They'd all say the same thing if they could talk--or act--namely, the search for junk food is hard, really hard. It's a job, and to really understand that you've got to be a cartoon cat. Imagine being one of those poor orange cats. There you are, an animal in love with a food wholly antithetical to the rest of your speciers, but it's always just barely out of reach. You're sitting there thinking to yourself that this must be how a bear feels when he sees food in a canister, and man would you like some Cheetos and there's just a bunch of kids telling you that Trix are for kids and isn't that a rabbit...oh the terrible existence of the cartoon animal. Well fear not world, for these felines and James Spader teach children something incredibly important and no one is even aware of it. Those cartoon cats are teaching young children every day that life isn't fair, that most people will try and fail and that it's okay to fail because tomorrow you will try again and probably fail again, but what's important is to try. Usually, I'd say that that kind of message is anti-American, but today I feel forgiving. Today, I see the need for people to try even if they do fail because, really, don't we all fail almost every time we try? It's those few times that we don't that cause us to forget all the other times. How many people tried and failed to create fire or the cotton gin or a computer. Who knows, right? We only remember the winners, but how many losers were there? How many of them got close? Is it possible that any of those people contributed to the general atmosphere of change?
I don't know the answer at all. All I can tell you is dare to be grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat.
