Just Believe [that this is not another videogame post]

This time I'm taking aim for a different target. I don't know what that target is, but God help us if it suddenly turns out to be videogames, cuz I want to move away from that. No, this time... umm... oh, ok.. ahem, ok NOW I know what to write about.

I'm going to write about how thrilled my mom is about the fact that this Friday we're setting up a musical for Christams. It's called "Just Believe", a show originally conceived by a seemingly talented lady named Pam Andrews. The point of the drama is to "just believe" in God, even when things start looking bleak.

I have never seen the guys act, but I think it goes like this: children (apparently 4-6 graders) are getting ready for their great choir performance that is to be on the City Hall of wherever-the-heck-they-live-ville. Turns out, however, that the bus driver snaps his leg, and the show is canceled. As some kids whine and others cry, the teacher comes up with a solution: the show can be presented to a retirement center.

What a solution. There's actually a boy in that school that hates old people.

Of course, at first no one is either used to the idea or close to liking it. But that's where the eponymous motivational line comes in as the teacher practically pushes the kids in to perform their shows. The kids nd up learning from the grandpas and grandmas that Christmas is not only gifts and stockings and pine trees, but also love, kindness, joy... Jesus.

On a side note, the grandpas also learn that all they have to do is break a driver's leg (or kidnap him) to get their own Christmas show for free, although they plan to do this for Easter, New Year, Halloween, and quite possibly once for every retired elder's birthday...

Warning: non-canon

The drama's good, the story is nice, not with an expected ending but great dialogue. I personally would've liked if the teacher would've just called an alternate bus driver, 'cuz no entire school can depend on only one bus. Anyway, I would've liked to see the kids actually do their performance on the actual City Hall of wherever-the-heck-they-live-ville, and they suddenly get hit by a meteor shooting at the speed of sound, blasting through the Earth and shooting out of northern China into space again.

What?? PLOT TWISTS RULE, what's wrong with that?
