I needed a topic.
Naturally, I went to Google for help on that.
I started by opening Google. I felt pretty accomplished so I took a well earned twenty minute break to listen to this amazing song about ten times. I returned and typed 'Random blog t' and it saved me the work of typing five more characters by suggesting 'Random blog topics'. That's just one of the reasons why I love Google. Anyway I clicked on the third link (those always seem better than the first two so now I just skip them) and it took me to a site with a boatload of ads and a tiny box that said 'Generate topic'. I clicked it and it said Russian Art. Instantly, I thought of the only Russian Art I've ever seen. And by art, I mean ballet.
I was probably in fifth grade when my mom said we were going to go see a Russian ballet group perform Sleeping Beauty. We were both pretty excited to go. When the day of the show came, we were expecting a pretty fantastic show because the group was so good that they were on tour to perform all over the world. We got there and as soon as the curtain rose, we instantly wished we had never gone. It started with some woman dressed all in black--possibly the thirteenth fairy--swinging on a HUMONGOUS pendulum that was only a few feet off of the stage. She went on swinging like that for about 7/8 of the first act. That wasn't all, though. She had an army of maybe 10 people dressed in nude suits doing whatever messed up "dancing" they wanted, or so it seemed. At one point, there was a girl, supposedly Sleeping Beauty, who ran around for a few minutes looking extremely confused until she ran off stage. Then act 1 was over. We didn't feel like watching that happen for another 2 hours so we left. The end.
