A Little Disturbed

-
So last night I decided to watch an independent film. First of all the previews looked intriguing and lets be honest it stars the amazing Joseph Gordon Levitt. I have always loved JGL but after seeing Inception, I was just in awe of him. Do we have any 3rd Rock from the Sun fans? I grew up on that show. Angels in the Outfields and was my favorite film as a child 10 Things I hate about you is a film that I am passionately in love with. So I am a long time fan. So naturally I want to watch more of his recent performances. So I decided to watch Mysterious Skins last night. Now this film is a hard film to watch, i think hard does not even describe it. I thought Precious was disturbing, that was an ice cream sundae compared to Mysterious Skins. The rape scene horrified me and raised many questions in my head. How in the world do you do that to someone? Were you not loved as a child? Just confused.
Don't even get me started on the coach. I feel there is a special place in hell burning for him and people just like him. I have never been someone who supported the death penalty but after watching this film i find myself quoting Samuel L. Jackson. "Yes they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell". Then I remembered that is not right for me to judge people and I am supposed to be a compassionate and understanding human being. In the end maybe I am not supposed to understand people like that. Maybe I can still remain sane without rationalizing their behaviors and wishing hell upon them. I am trying really hard to be a good Shepard( Thank you Pulp Fiction). Anyways I do recommend this film. It was a really brilliant heart wrenching powerful beautiful film but disturbing as if u seek!

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.
