February 3rd marked the beginning of the Chinese New Year 2011. According to the Chinese calendar, this year happens to be the "Year of the Rabbit." Respectfully, I must disagree. This year, most certainly, belongs to the Wolf.
For so long, the Wolf has been lacking the recognition it so clearly deserves. Sure, the Wolf has been represented in movies, literature, and even television, but most often the Wolf is portrayed as a harrowing, howling predator.
In Native American legends, the Wolf is characterized as not only adventurous and free, but also protective and compassionate. The Wolf is believed to possess supernatural strengths, as evidenced in "The Twilight Saga." One of the Wolf's most commonly overlooked powers is the ability to pick up chicks. (See video below.) You, too, can acquire chick magnet skills with the purchase of a "Three Wolf Moon" t-shirt, available at Amazon.com.
If you just can't get enough of the Wolf, please consider the following:
"Teen Wolf" moves from the silver screen to the small screen in a revamped version on MTV this summer.
Rent the American classic, "Dances With Wolves."
Visit your local library to check out any of these childhood favorites: The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, Peter and the Wolf, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing, and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.
After pumping you all up for a night of ABC comedies last Wednesday, I was disappointed to see they were all re-runs. :\ Next time, I'll be sure to do my homework!
This oversight, however, allowed me the opportunity to catch a high school classmate on American Idol. His name is Jerome Bell, and in the words of Jennifer Lopez, "Remember that name!"
I'm not typically a fan of American Idol, but I have to say, I will follow the show this season as long as Jerome is a contestant. I must also say, I'm enjoying the new judges!
