Oscars Tonight

-
Tonight is a big night! The Oscars will be happening in a few hours, so I got to do as much reading before that. It is no secret that I have been rooting for Slumdog Millionaire( in my opinion an instant classic). I cannot wait to see my barely legal husband, Dev Patel tonight. Fun fact his parents are from Kenya(Hey now). It should be a good show and not much a bore as last years. The host is the talented and sexiest man alive (according to People) Hugh Jackman. I still do not understand why Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens will be performing at the Oscars( this is a show that honors the creme of the creme in acting, not in spray tanning). Ha Ha, I made a funny! I am hoping that Kate Winslet finally picks up a trophy for Best Actress. She was incredible in The Reader but I will be happy if Meryl Streep wins as well(she really is the HBIC when it comes to acting). I am hoping that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button picks up so awards as well. I loved that movie, it really pulled my heart strings. I think the trickiest category has to be best supporting actress. All the nominees are worthy of the award. Penelope Cruz was hilarious, Amy Adams was just phenomenal, Viola Davis was a scene stealer and Tarajj P. Henson was the heart and soul of Button. Well I will probably post later on about my thoughts of the big night.

Feminist Wednesday: Try

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.

Moving on, starting fresh

I DID IT! I graduated college! All the sleepless nights, pulling of the hair and crying myself to sleep have paid off, I now have my college diploma. Now that I have ended one successful chapter in my life I am looking forward to embarking on the next one. I am looking forward to igniting the flame inside of me and turning it into a full blown bonfire. I am not sure what the future holds but I cannot wait to find out. When I was five I never thought I was going to live in Tunisia or Mozambique for that matter. I never would have imagined that if I put my mind to it I could study abroad in Australia nor did i think I would go to college in upstate New York. I have done so pretty much amazing things but I still want to do more. I want to see the world, get touched spiritually and emotionally by incredible individuals, hopefully bring joy to all of those around me, laugh more, cry less, regret less, write more, cook more and live each day to its fullest. In effort to start anew I have d

He doesn't even need to ask

-
Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was completely
