The true story of @DavidArchie’s NZ adventure (not really)

In honour of David’s NZ trip and LOTR fanboying, I’m reposting a story I shared a while back for the lovely Refnaf’s May birthday (she’s Team LOTR, I’m Team Harry Potter, lol). Enjoy!

***************************************************************

Ref: In honour of your love for all things Lord of the Rings, here’s a little David Archuleta-themed Frodo-esque story for your special day! 🙂

Counting Davids Character David Archuleta as Frodo

As David the Humble humbly swaggered his way through the Shire, he had a song in his heart … make that two… or maybe six.

He loved to stop and sing at each cottage he passed, especially if a widow or orphan lived within … or a feisty daughter of a prostitute who liked to fly kites.

But on this day, David the Humble had no time to stop and serenade the shirefolk. He had an important mission he was tasked with… no not that mission, another mission.

‘Twas up to him and only him to take the powerful ring to Mount Doom. Yes! The Ring. The precious golden orb engraved with the letters CTR…

…not because of its powers but because he saw a notice on Craigslist that someone lost it and even though the guy lived 1,000 Miles away, it was the right thing to do…. plus, there was a reward: free dragon rides.

Humble David tried wearing the Ring on his right hand for safekeeping but couldn’t stop playing with it. His hand broke out in a rash — worse than when Paula Abdul gave him that sparkly bracelet after Hobbit Idol.

He hurried back to his cottage to ready for the journey. He filled his satchel with mangoes, almonds, 30 Costco sample cups of Kashi cereal, and his trusted copy of The Alchemist … not to read, but as a weapon… he’d sprung for hardcover!

As he entered the enchanted forest, he sang quietly to himself to steel his courage. Two verses of “Wizard Moves Like Jagger” and the chorus of “Everybody Wants to Rule Middle-Earth.” Now he felt ready to take on any foe… except maybe Nicki Minaj, she frightened even Voldemort (oops, wrong book).

At the edge of the woods, our skinny-jeans hero spied a tiny, familiar face!

“Almond!!!”

The squirrel scurried over. But as David the Humble bent down to give Almond an almond, the irony struck him and he spontaneously belted out “Isn’t it ironiiiiiiic?!” Shaking the leaves on all the trees.

Denied his promised snack, Almond was furious. His eyes flashed as red as the fiery pits of Mordor and he glared at the golden Ring. Almond lunged onto Humble David’s hand and tried to pry off the Ring with his uncommonly long squirrel fangs.

After a struggle, Humble David hit Almond with an oar, gave him a glare that would melt ice, called him a hob-knocker, and flung him off into the forest. Then he ran cross-country all the way to Mordor… with only one minor collapse and a rest stop at a welcoming medieval medical centre in the glens.

Out of breath and sweating like a wild boar, he finally reached his destination, tossed the ring at its owner and they all lived Hobbitly ever after.

 p.s. Feeling a tad psychic at the moment, lol.

p.p.s.
MOAAAAAAR PICS!

    Added some gems to the end of the post…

    I would have loved to hear his intro for Pride (which I LOOOVE btw), I always wondered about D’s reasons for including it on Begin… the song was inspired by Martin Luther King, apparently.

    Oh it’s great to re-read one of your Masterpieces TOfan, such fun, haha! So nice that we are getting photos, videos, etc. and he sang “Pride”, wonderful. Yes, would have loved the whole video too. Inspired by Martin Luther King…one of my heroes.
    The photo of D with the baby is priceless, pure joy!

    It may be politically incorrect to say, but I like David’s version of “Pride” better than the original. I never liked U2’s twangy guitars on this song. I would rank it among my top two /three on the album as well.

    Since he stated that BEGIN was about his mission decision, I think that part of the reason for including it may have to do with David’s own religious tradition and stories of martyrdom (Joseph Smith) as well as the idea of missionaries, and of course others, sacrificing to help others.

    Somehow I missed this post the first time around too so thank you for reposting, I am laughing myself silly. “His hand broke out in a rash — worse than when Paula Abdul gave him that sparkly bracelet after Hobbit Idol.” Funny funny stuff. And that photo with the baby and your caption, still chuckling!

    interesting article… sometimes I wonder if this concern factors into David’s approach to his career… his gift is precious to him… and to us!
