Fireflies, Popcorn and Eye Candy: My Summer at the Movies

-
Aw summer time! Time for family BBQ, beach outings, trips to local amusement parks and hot summer nights at the movies. Summer time is probably the most exciting time for movie lovers and by movie lovers i mean myself. The films came in all shape and sizes. There are the blockbusters, indies, comedies, animated films and rom com you name it. Unfortunately this summer offers did not leave me satisfied. Times are getting rough and going to the movies is almost turning into a luxury. Wasn't there a $20 ticket that rose this summer? My point exactly, going to the movies is not a cheap affair. I want to leave the theatres without feeling like I wasted my money. I want to be thoroughly entertained. I admit that I have been spoiled recently by some great films. Avatar made me look at sci fi/fantasy films in a different light. It is safe to say I really was spoiled by that film. Thanks a lot James Cameron for raising the bar for me. How To Train a Dragon made me think about animated films differently. It was such a pleasant surprise and probably one of the best films I saw this year. So I am not going to be spending money on fluff. There have been so incredible films this Summer. Toy Story 3( my heart bleed, I cried like a two year old) and Inception( i need to see it again, the hotel fight scene was epic). They are the breakout hits of the summer because they do not mock the audience. We are getting our money's worth at the box office. I have yet to see The Kids Are All Right( I know that I will love it) and I am looking forward to seeing Scott Pilgrim vs The World( it looks epic) .

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.
