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) .

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
