I Do Not Fear Death

-
So if anyone has seen The Return of The King, the epic climax to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, will know where I got my title from. I was uncertain about the future last night and watched the film for inspiration. We are in dire times. There are revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East. Every time you turn on the news it seems that there is a natural disaster to report. Now there is a man claiming the world will come to an end on May 21, 2011. As I write this blog post it is already May 22 in several nations. So I do not know what he meant by that. The whole end of the world talk has got me thinking. What have I done with my life? If today was the end, would I leave the world in peace or would I leave with regret? The truth is I would be one tortured soul. There are so many things I want to do. So many places I want to visit. I have not really lived my life to its full potential.  The best thing that came out of this whole judgement day is that I want to live. I feel like I have been a fly stuck on a spider web just wasting away. Just waiting until it was time for the spider to consume me. Now I am fighting my way through the web. I would do whatever it takes to live my life to the fullest.I want to dance in the rain not wait until the sun emerges from the clouds. I want to be as free as a horses mane.  I want to create my own luck and even if I fail I know that I gave it my all. So I am releasing positive vibes in the year of 2011, this is my year. This is the year I live in the now not waiting for things. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? I only know what is waiting for me today. I am not going to look back at yesterday dreaming about what could have been. If it was meant to be it  would have happened. I do not fear death. Just like my heroes Aragorn and Eowyn.

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
