Doubt

-
So my rampage to watch the majority of Oscar nominated films continues. Earlier today I had the distinct pleasure of watching Doubt. It was an excellent movie that deserves all the recognition it has gotten. Meryl Streep was amazing, I would have been pissing in my pants if she was my principal. Phillip Seymour Hoffman blow me away. I am actually thinking that he should be given the best supporting actor Oscar but its tricky because Heath Ledger was brilliant. Amy Adams was spectacular and I was shocked at the little screen time Viola Davis got. It made me question if she should have been nominated for best supporting actress. That out of the way she was amazing in this film. I am impressed so far by the films nominated for Oscars this year. Usually they are a bit on the boring side but lately filmmakers are making me remember way I loved movies in the first place.

is it just me or does meryl streep get more amazing with every movie she's in? the film confused me a little, im not sure if i really got it. so is father flynn guilty or not in the end? but the scene between miller's mother and streep, and also the sermon about gossip, those were intense!

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

The List: The Sexiest Men 2013 Edition

It is becoming a little bit of a tradition here on Confessions that during the month of love I unveil my list of men that continue to rock my world. Considering how successful my last list was the only responsible thing for me to do is officially declare that this tradition will live on. If you are curious to see how last year's list differed from this year here it is  My Little Valentines . This year my list is a little different. First of all, it did not feel right to narrow it down to 100. So below you will see a list composed of 110 men. I have included men that not only I find incredibly good looking but men that have enamored me with their talent and their wit. My list is in alphabetical order besides my top ten. If there is an asterisk behind their name that means they are newbies to the list. Let me know who you think is incredibly good looking.

What Can You Do Now?

-
This past week has been a dark chapter in American history. Over 100,000 American lives were lost to COVID-19.  On Memorial Day, in the city of Minneapolis George Floyd was murdered by four police officers. His death sparked a nation wide outrage. If you would like to know the ways you can support the movement please take a look at this website.  https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#   It will give you ways you can help. You can sign petitions, donate, find contact information for officials in Minneapolis and find out ways to participate in peaceful protests.  This would also be a good time to register to vote, if you have not done so already. Besides remaining informed, I would advise you all to take care of your health during this difficult time. Make sure you take time to remain both physically and mentally strong.  Keep yourself hydrated. Take your vitamins. Meditate. Pray. Find ways to find joy. It is also a good time to reach out to love ones.  Be safe and be kind to yourself.
