For the next 30 days I’ll torture you with my stupid answer to the writing prompts taken from the 30 Day Writing Challenge and the 30 Day Song Challenge. Here we go:

Writing Challenge – Day 26: How do you handle/deal with both success and failure?
Badly.
And instead of going into details about how very badly I handle stuff, I’d rather briefly comment on the movie I just saw, which was Captain America:
I LOVED it! It was fun, there was no gratuitous humour, every actor was outstanding, and it had some cool fights. Seeing Chris Evans playing a character so different from what he usually gets was great and it was an admirable task the man’s performance stood out from his massive super manly pecs of doom; it was little Steve all the way through, but partly in the body of a giant beefcake. Infinite Kudos!
