"Valar Morghulis"

Reading a book is one of the most amazing things I will ever get to do. Books to me are an escape into another world. I love reading everywhere because what I read is how I remember what I was doing when I was holding that particular book. Over the course of let's say a week, I could have read an entire book and in doing so, I have the ability to remember what I was doing that week while enjoying the book I was reading. I'm going to be annoying and in depth and give you a nerdy example. Over winter break I went to Ecuador and I brought three books with me, one of them being "Game of Thrones" by George R. Martin. Everything in that books reminds me of laying in the sun, on the beach, just reading away. And I guess that since I now mentioned "Game of Thrones", I should tell you all about the reason this post has been born into existence. As a quick side note, instead of writing "Game of Thrones" for the next five minutes, I am making it into and acronym, so GOT. 

Okay now, GOT was also made into a TV show. Which I love. It's for some of the older young people of America so I would probably keep it way from small eyes. While that sounds awful, the story behind the sordid adventures is one that I've never seen before. The way that Martin intertwines his characters is so intricate and beautifully done. But he's a sly one that author. Martin loves to get you extremely attached to the characters and then writes them right out of the book as soon as you begin to really appreciate the character. All in all, the books are well written and very entertaining. Now, back to the whole TV show part of this post, three of the main actors from the show are portrayed as siblings. They are the Lannister kids (for lack of a better word). They're also three of my favorites, especially the shortest one, Tyrion. 

Here is a shot of them, all dressed up in the show garb....

They look fabulous, don't get me wrong, but I like seeing them like this....

Real, actual, human beings laughing with each other. How wonderful is that? This is something very small that people miss out on. I don't know why it makes me so happy seeing them doing something completely everyday. I guess it might be because in the show, they are all fighting for the same throne. Hence, GOT. But, there are three very important things to take away from this....

1. Having the ability to read books and the access to them is a very valuable thing.

2. Watching your favorite characters come to life and portray your obsession is SUPER cool.

3. Watching those same characters be real people, even more SUPER cool.

Appreciate the little moments, they're pretty short.

Like Tyrion.
