Prince Zuko

So.... once upon a time there was a movie that came out, called "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and in that same time, there was a boy named Kenny. You wonder how these two so distant from each other, subjects parallel? I will tell you. In a time before then, there was a boy named Chris and a girl named Kristina, they watched all three books of Avatar, and the girl Lex, laughed and wondered why they would want to watch this cartoon. Perishing the though, when Chris purpose, that she should watch with them, she simply went up stairs. Back into this once upon a time, that said Lex went to see the movie, of TLA, and was sorely perplexed. Is this how the cartoon is? I have seem a few pieces of episodes, I thought it was more humor filled than this? This seems dark and and uninteresting, I was sure right to stay away from it. Just then Chris, exclaimed his dislike for the movie, explaining that it did not tell the story of Avatar the series, in exactness, not even in partial reiteration, with that said, Kenny also felt the same, I wondered if, maybe I had missed something, if the story of a boy named aang was actually one I should be interested in. And so I asked, Kenny to watch the series with me, he liked it so, if nothing else I could just have fun with him. It's always nice to share things with your friends and you never know you might gain a new hobby by doing so. We watched a few episodes, and Chris told me the entire story, and I wanted to wait for Kenny to finish the series but, I was intrigued, so one day, while Kenny was at work or recording or something, I forget, I just popped in the next cd and within two episodes I was hooked, Kenny who? I totally had to watch this show, Sleep deprived and hungry, I couldn't stop watching. Well into the second book, I had developed a favorite character, I thought I would love aang, or sakka but no my forever true love, (I mean of anime) everyone know my real life true love is Joseph Gordon-Levitt haha, neway I simply fell fell fell in love with Prince Zuko, his confusion, his scar, his heart of gold, that seemed to be covered in such dirt, and mud, and rock, and all things that shielded it from actually feeling, he was so blind, to what he was supposed to do. It reminded me of me before the Gospel entered my heart. But he also reminded me of a great love, his uncle, displayed so much charity and love, and treated Zuko as we should treat those who are lost, because Zuko was lost, and confused and not necessarily looking for the easy way out, but he was looking for the the wrong way to achieve his goal. He got his greatest dream, which was being the fire Lord, but it got it the right way. It reminds me of my music, For so long I was looking to bring back the avatar, and restore my honor, an honor, that was not at all honorable, the things we had to go through, the hurt the torment, the darkness, the wrestling with one self, the learning and excepting that you must put off the natural man daily and a fight is always, against the soul. I suppose in a weird way, I wish I were Mai, she had issues too, but some kind of way they both really did love each other, and they filled up those voids that choice and life hollowed out. It's crazy how a story can tell so many tales. I write what i am inspired to write, hopefully my stories, and songs, and poems will reach those who need them most. If my voice could lull but one souls fears, or comfort a heart in pain, then I have brought to pass the will of God, it seems so simple to follow the promptings from our Father, but sometimes you get scared, and just as Prince Zuko, at the point of honor, you may be afraid or want worldly things over those things that have been promised you, and you chose a path of destruction I remember, how tormented I was, when I strayed, when I chose those worldly things, nothing in the eyes of those are with the Gospel but, something great to me, knowing what I am expected to do, understanding that there is another way and walking away from it to fulfill the heart of man, sleepless nights, and fear consuming you, and dreams, nightmares running though your head, inciting you to come chose the right, it would have been easier and taken less time if Either of us would have chosen the right when called on, but you know man, just as judah it seems we don't get it unless we are stuck in the belly of a fish haha, but I tell you what after that we get it done. I am happy, I know this may seem a bit much for just a cartoon, to get so much out of one character but, it is what it is, and hopefully I can inspire as much as I have been inspired.
