Interviewing Tarzan: Learning Colors

   Back in May of 2017 I had the chance to interview Tarzan. This was the inaugural video of my Character Interviews series. In my last meeting with him, I was lucky enough to watch Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party fireworks with him, Jane and Terk. He kept naming all the colors as they lit up the sky, even called the yellow ones "Bananas". Jane informed me he was learn his colors. In this meeting, I asked him if he learned any new colors since our last meeting and he said he did. He was so proud naming all the colors in my shirt. The stripe he called "Blue" is more of a blue-green. He was so proud of pointing it out I didn't have the heart to correct him since I can see how someone could mistake it for blue.

   There was virtually no line for him, like usual. His line is never long at all when you can find him, even during the parties. He really takes his time with each guest and never rushes. Though short, this is one of my favorite interviews because it gave me the confidence to know I can do this. I hope you enjoyed watching our interview and until next time: keep cooking with character!

Day 4: "All right little lady. It's way past your nest time." --Terk's mom

"All right,little lady. It's way past your nest time." --Terk's mother

Day 4's quote is another from Tarzan. This one has universal appeal because all parents can relate to this scene: Terk's mother is taking the young Terk to their nest to sleep for the night. The quote implies Terk had a set bedtime as a young gorilla and the commotion of Kala bringing the human baby Tarzan into the group kept her up. Terk being the sassy curious child she was kept trying to stay up, which didn't happen, not even the "one more minutes" she asked for.
This one is fitting for me right now because it is extremely late where I live and it is way past my own nest time. Luckily I am all caught up with the first 4 days of my year of Disney Quotes.

Day 2: "Put your faith in what you most believe in." -- Tarzan

"Put your faith in what you most believe in." --"Two Worlds", Tarzan

Day 2's quote comes from the opening number to Disney's 1999 film, Tarzan. The song "Two Worlds" is very emotional and emotionally animated, but that is for another post. The lyric "Put your faith in what you most believe in." is a good reminder that no matter what we're doing, we need to have faith in it. Faith in this lyric is a whole lot like trust, both take blind jumps into the unknown and hope for the best outcome.
 I am constantly reminded of this lyric, especially during times of doubt and when I fall into the dangerous thinking of having faith it will work out but not believing it til I see it. It's dangerous in the sense that since your feelings are divided and not on the same wavelength, you could end up being disappointed by what you had faith in work out. The more you have faith and believe something good will work out chances are that good will happen too, especially if you are willing to put in the hard work to see it through.
A good example of this lyric right now is quite honestly my blog. I've put a lot of hard work in it and I believe in it and believe it will one day be successful enough so I may focus on blogging full-time and I have faith it will happen. Do I know for certain it will happen, not one bit, but I would love to see it happen and believe it will if I keep working on it and polishing it to be the best little blog it can be. While looking at the past and present at the same time, I am looking ahead and planning a lot of great things I hope to see come true. I do have a handful who think it won't be as successful as I know it can (will) be and they don't have much faith in it because it is still in the beginning or appetizer stage if you will and not impressive to look at. Yet I know where I'm going and what I've got planned, which trust me is going to be some great stuff when I get the appliances and equipment I need! The hope, faith, belief and knowledge I have for my blog makes it so much easier to not listen to the naysayers.
Never forget to "Put your faith in what you most believe in" and Keep Cooking with Character!
