Wondered about the movie preview?

The intro to the movie sets the tone for what you are about to watch - the drama that you can expect, some of the characters, the places you will visit and see in the show.

What I love about these and I am really addicted to watching the intro's or title sequences, they have really subtle clues as the goings on, and when you have watched parts of the show it becomes evident where this sequences come from. 

One of my favorites is a Television show called  "Weeds"   - When a suburban mother turns to dealing marijuana in order to maintain her ... drama series told of Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a widowed mother of two ... and Alexander Gould) - who begins selling marijuana to support her family.  

The opening sequence is this suburban map/layout of an estate of houses, a place called "Agrestic"  where  all the houses look the same.

The symbol of  the "Fleur-de-Lis" does not go amiss,  as legend has it shows the French Royalty and to signifies the sense of light, purity and the perfect life  

The people they all look the same, have the same luxury lifestyle. The folk all go to the same school, university,  drive the same type of car and generally seem to have the same type of "humdrum" life.
It leaves you feeling how can this be, in this upmarket town how can there be these shenanigans?

 How can marijuana be involved? Why would the people who have this perfect lifestyle, want to be involved with marijuana?

Rebel

Have you ever be swept off your feet in that once in a lifetime feeling, that this is something that you don't understand. I was just 20 years old and had started working in my own little cafe. The responsibilities were quite hectic. I had to balance books, stocks, staff and cash flow.

While all this was very challenging, it was daunting, considering I was quite a shy person, at that stage. I had to be bold as the "Boss".

My mom had passed when I was pretty young, but that is for another time.

I worked shifts in the store. One evening around 9pm this good looking "rebel" walked into the store. He was looking for Lemonade, Coke and ice. He was really different, long hair, an earring in the ear, black leather bomber jacket, someone that your mom would not want you to go out with.

I was gaga, out of character, I turned around and asked him what he was going to do with all the mixes and ice. His reply was that they were partying and would I like to join them. I did not know him, but I wanted to. He wanted to fetch me after work , however, I suggested it would be better that I met him at the venue.

Well that was another story as my dad and younger brother would come down to accompany me at closing time for security reasons with the cash and dropping of staff at home.

I made a call to my dad and told him not to come, I was going to close up with my friend and then we were going out and I would not be back too late. My dad was not happy, but allowed me to go out.  I then rang my friend at the time and asked her to accompany me to the party. Thank goodness she did help me out, and we went together.

We arrived at the lookout point where this large party of people were, my "rebel" was there.
There was a lot of drinking, laughing and music.  I was too embarrassed to say that I did not drink. I had tasted many different types of alcohol, but was not a drinker at all.  Well we talked and of course my glass was filled a few times, needless to say, I was not handling the drink too well. Luckily, we decided that it was time to leave, my "rebel" was too cute and asked me out for the next evening. A date....That was the beginning of the roller coaster of my life.
