“Wanted”

So I just watched the movie Wanted and i have mix feelings about the movie…

The Pros

• Entertaining
• cool focusing
• Angelina is freaking awsome
• cool action ideas
• interesting slow moes
• Twisted plot that was unexpected BUT not original
• cool  bullet theory

The Cons

• A lot of already done Matrix stunts and effects
• Already done Matrix scenes
• Obvious computer visual affects
• Half the stuff in there is so not possible but its ok
• Even though its nice to have, the sex scene was uncessary (saw it with fam…so yea…awkward)
• Not used to the gore ( which is not much compared to other movies…but still ew)
• “Star Wars” twist…not a fan of that idea but it worked out in the end i guess

So yea, other than being a matrix wanta be movie its nice to have an entertaining action flick other than the matrix. The plot was mediocre so i forgive Angelina becuase she made the train and car scenes awsome anyway. Even though the plot made sense it seemed already done in a way with the star wars twist and the matrix effects. However, Even though i can forgive the matrix effects (since after you see that type of movie all action flicks need to be that cool) i cannot forgive the matrix scenes. I expected something more different….more original. Oh well, its an action flick so i suggest if you want to see some blood and wicked car scenes, i recommend the movie. I mean, action flicks are best scene with big screens and surround sound.  Yet if your picky and hate that typical Holliwood action flick then its a no no for you. Anyways that was my take on it….i think i would buy the movie in the end just for the hell of it if I found it at a good price…..though i am bias becuase im a huge Angelina fan.

Baby Boom….oh oh

It’s crazy to think that teenage girls would vow to have babies at the same time even if it meant to have them while still in high school. Unfortunatly that scenerio is happening all around America and it’s scary becuase we already have too many people to begin with. It seems that the newer generations want to destroy themselves or at least plant a bomb to set off in the future.  There is already an unwanted population of babies so I find it is absurd that teenagers would even think of having kids “just becuase”. With movies like Juno which is a film about a teenage parent, a lot of young people are starting to think it is ok to have kids at a young age. I like the movie Juno, it is a movie with great witisicsms and value but I dont feel the need to follow in the main character’s footsteps. Yet a lot of teenagers feel differently.  With the current baby boom exploding and the abortion rate going down, we have a problem on our hands.  Even though I am neutral on the subject of abortion, I find that the increase of children is rising at a wrong time. With the natural world growing slim, we humans for some reason find the need to bring a child into the world!  There arent as many wild areas as there used to be because we chop them down to accomodate for the excess population who need their own space! There is already a great divide in families due to the many bad choices made. Divorse rates, missing fathers, missing mothers, or just bad parenting all contribute to socities lack of family morals making the new generation feel lost, angry, and etc.  Fathers arent ready to be fathers and mothers (like the teens discussed above) arent ready to be mothers. 

I think it is ok to bring a child into the world but you have to ask yourself….”What’s the hurry?”  Just becuse you are a wife doesnt mean you need to have a child. Just becuase you feel unloved doesnt mean a child will solve all your lonely problems. Just because you said you would get pregnant with your friend doesnt mean you need to get pregnant.  I know a MARRIED couple that have steady jobs, have a nice home, and are in a good financial stage. They have just recently gotten pregnant with a child. Is that not the best timing? They are financially ready, mentally capable (they are nearly 30) and secure in their jobs to bring in a bundle of eating, spending, and pooping machines.  Now….a 15 year old who still throws tantrums like a 10 year old, still thinks the world revolves around Paris Hilton’s new pair of Armani shoes, and boys is not in a financially good state (still dependant on parents becuase they are STILL KIDS), do not have steady jobs (and if they do, I dont think Taco Bell will give you health benefits nor help keep you afloat with the income), AND are not mature enough to raise a child. The teenager is still a child. Can you imagine? A kid raising a kid?  Why do we need to implant to kids that having kids whenever is ok? I mean even at a young age we are like programed to have this instinct to take care of something. Little girls with baby dolls and games on a nitendo Ds!  Humans have the instinct to procreate….but we are smarter than animals…at least most of the time and need to be smart about sex…..which is why we need to teach the youngings the right time to have a kid and how to protect themselves!  With more programs that encourage abstince dissapearing, I dont know how this baby boom will stop! if it ever does

This is why we need to start educating, inforcing, and starting programs to help teenagers think TWICE about sex, and if they happen to get a little egg, what to do about it. Obviously these kids need guidence and someone to knock them in the head to get them to understand truth, and develop plain common sense. Like…..Friend you promised to get pregnant with at the same time happens to get pregnant their junior or sophmore year of highschool. What would be the thoughts we want these kids to think?

….”Oh shit, now i have to get preg just becuase i promised…..man im not ready but oh well!”

or

….”Shes crazy, ill be there for her but there is no way im going to ruin my life by getting pregnant!”

I think the answer (if you have common sense) speaks for itself…..

Public Affection

I was just thinking today of the past. I thought of all my x-relationships and even though they ended, they still had its highlights. I was remembering of all the good times in every relationship which was mostly in the beginning. I think the beginning of every relationship is the best and also the scaryist. It is scary because the possibilty of getting hurt is at its high but at the same time you still feel little butterflies in your stomach at the sight of him. Yet the best part of the beginning is the bubbling sensations you get. Its fresh, its new. Every touch, every word, hug, and kiss is electric. The best part of the relationship in my opinion is that unseperable attraction you get for the other person. Every second, every where you go no matter where you are, the other person wants to remind you that they care with constant kisses, hand plays, and hugs especially around other people. I love public affection, I love how the guy always wants to “claim” what they think is theirs. When I always started to go out with someone they would always be affectionate in public. Arm around the waist, hand in hand, or hugging me from behind kissing my neck are all loverly signs of affection. I loved being spoiled and shown off even if the other dudes already knew i was off limits. LOVE IT! To me public affection like that reads off as you are proud to be with the other person and showing how you dont want to share your special someone.  I don’t know if that is just highschool affection but im kinda sure it still occurs when your older.  Its the little things that remind me of how the other person cares, you dont have to make out in public to show your feelings becuase thats just over the top.  Plus i think public affection says alot for how the future will turn out to be.  If you get no affection when your together before you get married then you can gaurentee that there will be none in marraige. Thats my guess at least. Yet if you’re with someone who constantly is nuzzling you and kisses you all the time on the forehead not only in private but also in front of friends, you can guess that the other person will not be afraid to love you when your married.  I dont ever plan on marrying someone who doesnt display their love becuase I am a very emotional person and I love to show affection. But if i get nothing back, it makes me feel like im hitting a dead end.  I need actions to back up words, and once they join together in one argument then I am a happy camper. hehe I dont know if all girls feel the same way i do but i know that’s what I like. I think the only time you can show a min amount of affection is around family becuase its just kinda weird for me. Otherwise i say dont be ashamed boys to show your girlfriends how much you care becuase if they are anything like me…they’d be waiting for you.  So tear down your ego and public affectionize your woman! haha

Beyond Dirty Dancing

So I went to a club last night and all I can say is “wow”.  Im not a constant club go-er but I do like to dance. Last club I went to was the Inferno in Greensboro, NC and it was so much fun. They played “retro” music from the 70s to the 90s. The club had a cool dance floor that lit up and had a relaxing atmosphere. Now I went to this other club called the N-Club last night and I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was seriously like a place to go find sex. Girls were half naked and I’m not exaturating because if i can see some other girls boobs literally pop out of their bra….. or see a fold of an ass cheek, ya know there’s something too revealing in your outfit! Women were on the dance floor doing dirty moves as men stood on the outside of the dance floor with beers and cigarrette smoke while watching them. Its unbelievable how incredibly ugly this club was. Call me naive but I thought it was everyone on the dance floor just dancing away to some great hip hop beats. I expected everyone to be dancing not just 6 women in a circle going to the ground shaking their butts as men whispered to each other checking out their bodies! It was totally degrading! Then the DJ was trying to get everyone pumped up by telling them to stick up their middle fingers up and repeatedly say, “I DONT GIVE A FUCK!” When that was said, i finally concluded that this club was a place for ghetto people. That club had no class! It was like a place for women to act like hoes and men get to chose. REALLY?! Now I don’t listen to hip hop because it is not my type of music. However, I prefer hip hop when it comes to dancing because it has great beats. Yet last night i heard songs that were beyond wrong. Songs were describing women as “hoes” and also describing the oral sex that these women gave them! Drugs, sex, Drugs and more sex was the theme of every song but in the most racy way you can think of.  Friends warned me of the club’s reputation but i had no idea it was up to this extent. I would not feel safe there if I had not gone with my boyfriend and friends thats for sure!

 

Anyways, it is just sad to see women degrade themselves just to get a man’s attention! I mean, wow! Men are becoming more perverted because women don’t hold their class anymore. They just want to throw themselves out there like an open buffet line instead of prizing themselves and justifying their worth. Im disapointed in both sexes and it worries me too because the younger generation is copying these awful trends! My friend works at the YMCA and she said the club was not that big of a shock because she is used to seeing this behavior in middle school kids at parties at the YMCA……MIDDLE SCHOOL PEOPLE! I know if i have a child, whether boy or girl, I will drill into them what our current generations lack. Bill Cosby is fighting these ideas that younger people think is cool such as, rap music that has cuss words and terrible content, language, and etc.  Its ok for culture to evolve but we are evolving into something bad instead of something good! We need more people like Bill Cosby and such to bring back the morals that people today have forgotten.

 

My other friend went to this FLO RIDA concert at the N-CLub….whooo heee! She said it was graunchy because everyone was drunk and the people performing on stage brought these women up and made gestures of oral sex. He made them squat and put the women’s face into their crotches. WOW! Then these women started taking off their clothes, ON StAGE! I dont know, but to me it seems like something has to change!

Random Thoughts

So…I love this new mac desktop!  Its so gorgeous….I want one! The one I am typing on write now is my boyfriend’s but for me since he is basically my other half…every thing he owns is mine! lol The screen is so big i cant believe what I am staring at! Its like a television. The keyboard is so smooth like a laptop and the screen is so skinny and flat! I mean it is gorgeous! Maybe ill get mi paps to get me one if he can…in the mean time…..its this computer!  Its a whole different system when it comes to writing and stuff though. Like im used to Word while this uses a different system. Same thing with the screen openings too, the red “x” close button is on the very top left hand side instead of the right hand side. Even though i would have to learn to adjust to all of this…..I DONT CARE. So worth it! I mean the screen is outrageous! You guys its awsome…thats all i have to say about that! Really i just wanted to type up something and cop a feel on this thing so i decided to write about it here…productive no? lol

 

Oh another thing….I was at school and was walking to get some grub when I saw a sign that said, “Warning: Genocide pictures ahead”  I looked and there were these HUGE pictures that you could see on the other side of the field (becuase this was outside) which had images of abortion babies! There was a picture of a little baby peanut looking thing in a person’s hand with blood and goo all over it and a picture of it being cut in half as the kill in inside the woman’s vagina. It had another picture but i refused to look at it intently becuase i was sick to my stomach but it had a picture of an actual baby head….I dont want to know what that was about!  I just think its crazy to put up some awful pics like that on your way to class….I dont know if you guys believe in abortion or not….but that was a little unncessary. I didnt want to get those images in my head while i was going to eat. Its ALMOST like that Peta website where i couldnt eat meat for a week!  Of course my own curiosity took me there….i wasnt forced to look at the giant pictures on my way to class.  People went and complained to the chancellor about the pics because yea… they were disturbing even for my friend who is a REAL conservative and believes abortion is wrong thought the pics were too much!  Then later on i saw people protest pro-rights in front of the display with signs.  I am not sure what to make of all of that……

 

So yea my new hobby is scrap booking. I am getting better at it I THINK than i was before. I go to this website called scrapbooking.com and it really helps to draw ideas from there. I know most people might think it is a grandmother’s hobby but i really do like it! I don’t really do artistic things so this is one way i can practice on that kind of stuff again. It is like being a little kid in kindergarden looking forward to art class.  You don’t have to be the best drawer but oh if you could just get your hands on that chalk or crayon its worth the fun!

 

Anyways, those are my thoughts for today, they are all random but oh well, makes no sense to make 3 different blogs that have only one paragraph each when i can just combine them all together in one blog.  Hope your day is yummy! See yaaaaaaa

The Brave One

New York City. One of my dream cities of all time….in fact it was the top city of my life. I wanted to live there, raise kids there, everything. I love how there is public transportation and how there’s always something to do. Life is busy and there’s always a place to be.  Even if i never lived in New York I would hope to eventually move into a city with a great job.  I like the fast past world of cars bustling and people walking on the streets.  Everyone told me that cities are to be feared due to the inevitable crimes and expenses. I always thought that crime has improved and that it would be very rare for me to bump into crime. Naive….

Well I saw a flick this past weekend called The Brave One. It’s about a woman who takes crime into her own hands. She was a woman of happiness and didn’t contained any fear in walking the streets at night; until her and her boyfriend walked the dog one night at the park. They both ran into these 3 males who ended up beating the main character’s bf to death and her severely.  They had no fighting skills and were surrounded by 2 guys.  My boyfriend is a martial artist and he teaches martial arts and self defense classes.  I finally saw the importance of self defense that my boyfriend was always talking about. I always knew it was important but now I finally REALIZE the basis of its importance to take self defense classes. These two people in the movie would have had a bigger chance in escaping or having fewer injuries than they did had they known self defense. 

Now the woman, the main character, is scared for her life after the incident. Paranoid but no longer naive about the city she once knew to be wonderful; she buys a gun and for the rest of the movie she runs into butt faces that threaten, hurt and try to steal her. But of course with her new found best friend for defense…she shot them all dead. Now, even though I know a gun is effective….most people, at least that I know, wouldn’t want to carry that type of equipment around. I mean why live in fear and always at the brink of fighting for life? I don’t know what it is like to live in a huge city like New York, but I would much rather have something more than a gun in my pants….plus I don’t want to kill anyone unless i really had to. Guns make it too easy and more instinctive. In the movie, the woman was in a subway and these two dudes started threatening her. Well, she whipped out her gun and immediately shot the two men. I think that was unnecessary because she should have just shot the first dude and threaten the second.  Let’s just say you don’t care about the dude’s live which is ok because they aren’t thinking in one second about sparing yours but I do think that it is still crucial to know self defense. Why leave your fate in a gun? What if that fails? Well, at least with self defense you have your body as your backup. You would be fully prepared!

Idk, but I won’t set foot in New York City or any city until I know self defense. So that instead of killing 7 men in one week like the main character did in the movie just to defend herself, I could hurt them and escape.   I think it’s very important for not only just woman to know self defense but for men as well. Men should protect women the best they can, therefore, its best to know how to instead of being unprepared. Ladies should take it regardless or not their male escort knows self defense so that they can help our dudes out if there’s more than one threat. Also if a woman is by herself, she can be ready to defend her life. Self defense may not be a guarantee but it sure is a handy skill to have that will minimize your chance of getting hurt…..hehe kind of like condoms.   Besides, we gals shouldn’t just rely on men to do the work; we should stand up for ourselves and show those muggers how purses will be the last on their mind when encountering a woman!

People who say….ya i dont have time but i know i should need to get off their butts and learn this stuff becuase its just an important thing to know. You can be able to defend yourself, or a loved one…..or would you rather live with regret when the problem arises?+

 

If you live in North Carolina and want to finally get off your butt and learn something that can save your life…well, I got you covered. My boyfriend, Michael Joyce is a GREAT teacher. Go to this website to find out more information about him and his classes.

Wise Words From The Dalai Lama

I’m not a Buddhist expert but I was reading Time mag about the Dalai Lama and found an interesting quote that he said that i thought was very clever. He said, “Before, destruction of your enemy was victory for your side.  But really, destruction of your enemy is destruction for yourself.”  Isn’t that clever? It’s true. The context of this statement was about the idea of Tibetans calling the Chinese their enemy.  The Dalai Lama believes them not to be the enemy but instead an important thread in a blanket. He thinks that everyone is dependent on each other; interdependence. Interdependence (quoted by the Time Mag writer Pico Iyer) is “the notion that all sentient being are linked together in a network that was classically known as Indra’s net.”  Iyer says that for the Tibetans to call the Chinese the enemy is like calling your right eye your ally and your left the foe. Interesting isn’t it? I think that statement that the Dalai Lama said also applies to everyday hardships in people’s lives. If you get hurt by someone, you would typically want Karma to hit them right back in-between the eyes. That way, they suffer like you did. But if you think about what the Dalai Lama said, to want the other person to be destroyed like you were is like destroying yourself with that anger you have towards them.  Idk, this is just what struck me. I still have to finish the article but i wanted to comment on this before I lost my idea….I’m very forgetful!

Devotion

I had a crazy…crazy dream last night. But I like it becuase it helped me realize some things afterwards (hated it during the dream).  It was about me and my boo and we were on this wierd adventure. 

It all starts out with Mike and I hugging and then all of a sudden in Walmart…a group of terrorists came and shot up the place telling everyone in Walmart to go into a dark cave.  For some reason, there was this big butt cave in the corner of walmart. I remember seeing a herd of people go in this cave in panic…which is weird.  Idk why mike was not with me but I ran for my life into the cave with everyone else and then saw a train. It was like those lil kid trains where you just step in and sit down. I got this sinking feeling that I was going to die, I was so scared all i wanted was Mike. This  white man with a whip wanted me to get in and i said i only wanted to sit with my baby, Mike. he kept trying to get me into the cart but refused like crazy. Then the guy  finally gave up and rolled his eyes. He said that Mike was is in the  retard section. I looked over to where he was pointing and saw my love staring off into space. I didnt care, all i wanted was to be with him and if he really was retarded, I wanted to take care of him in this time of crisis. But as the train started to move through a tunnel i whispered to Mike asking him if he was faking it and he looked over at me with his blue eyes glowing so beautifully and nodded. He then grabbed me and kissed me before the dude with a whip saw. As we went through the tunnel I saw Lindsey Lohan make out with this dude with no top on in the other dude’s shirt……What the hell right? haha Then we were stuck in this city and were made to work like slaves. This black guy with a whip started asking people in lines whether they accepted Christ as their lord and savior while in the background some building burned and the whole town was dressed up in the KKK outfits. I know i know….what the heck? Everytime someone said they didnt know Jesus, the black guy would whip them crazy. Turns out there was a witch over the city that was making all this evil come out. So i went and i dont rememeber how the hell i did it but i ended up caging her and burried this bottle that seemed to give her powers in the sand. She screamed and hollered as i left to bury the bottle. When I came back the witch told me that Mike had died. She said she had poisoned him with her eyes. I cried like a freakin kid who had all their limbs broken! I was like…..I dont want to live without him! I just want my baby! Bring him back,bring him back! I cant live without him! He is my life! And then i saw mike on this Aladdin bed beside the witche’s cave. I ran over and i kissed his dead body and hugged him sobbing like crazy. Then Mike woked up and carresed my head and said…”its alright baby im here.” And we just hugged and kissed…….It was a happy ending to a WIERD AND CRAAAAZY story!

Your problably wondering….why? Well idk I have the wildest dreams…dont get me started! But when i woke up i had tears in my eyes and i had this warm feeling of gratefulness that Mike was still alive. I also felt my love for him just beaaaaaaaaaaaam out of me like crazy becuase i was so close to losing him…in fact i did lose him and i couldnt stand it!  I am just so happy to have Mike in my life. Even though this dream was so funky, im glad i had it! I love my bf….i know i know im a cheeseball!

Animal Lovin

I adore animals.  Dogs being my favorite pet of all time amaze me. From their soft eyes to their happy tails, I love each and every one of them! In fact, my favorite type of dog is the Lab. I believe that will be my first pet as soon as I get a place that allows animals. They are so loyal and fun that I just can’t get enough of them.  You can ask my bf…I never can leave dogs alone when i see one!

 From the ocean my favorite animal is the dolphin. They are so sweet. I had the opportunity to swim with one in Jamaica and wow! I wish I could have done that cool…” hang on their fin” thing while they speed swim through the water…but just being able to say I touched one and being able to experiance beingin the water with them is a huge reward for me.  Dolphins are so smart and cute which is why they are my top ocean animal!

From the plains of Africa to the Amazon Jungle I love all kinds of animals. From Tigers to chimps, Elephants to horses; I love them all. I think if i won the lottery or something…I would build my own zoo!  The Tigers Preserve lets you take a tour where you can actually interact with the animals!  I think if I was to build my own zoo…I would do something just like that!…only cheaper! Below are the animals ive been able to take pics of…..i plan on collecting more exotic animals pictures!

I dont know why i chose to write about this. i think it has something to do with watching animal planet all day! Anyhoo, to sum up this random and perhaps pointless blog……

 Animals rock!

             

               

 

Can Men and Women Be Friends?

I was listening to a radio station named the Two Guys Named Chris and they were talking about a movie that one of the Chris’s saw. He said that in this movie there was a man and a woman who took their children to the pool and chatted. They both had seperate unhappy marriages and then they ended up having an affair.  Chris’s wife says that these two people shouldnt even have started a friendship relationship becuase it sets up feelings that can eventually lead to an affair. 

I think it is possible to be friends with the opposite sex but there has to be bounderies that cannot at any time be crossed. As long as the two people keep up a light conversation and not confide in each other, then it is possible to be friends with that person.  If you confide in someone of the opposite sex, you then you will develop an emotional attachment. It is important to keep a distance with that person becuase it is possible to keep a light conversation but see that person every day or week.  You must keep a distance because the more time you spend with the opposite sex,  the more safe you will start to feel with that person which will lead you to confide in them.  Flirting should never be allowed.  I think that explains itself.

I had a guy friend here at App and I didn’t think much of it. I never saw him alone; i was always with a group of people.  Me and him laughed, joked around, and he always walked me and my roomate home with his roomate becuase it would usually be 1 o’clock everytime we left and our dorm was across campus.  I have always had kind of a flirtatous personality that i never notice. So eventually this guy i see at App ended up liking me…which eventually killed our relationship.  All my friends say i flirt but I dont mean to. I am always just joking and having a good time…aparently thats flirting. It sucks cuz all my guy friends end up liking me due to my false signals and I hate it becuase I like to hang with guys. They dont involve emotional drama like girls…at least most of the time. The dudes just want to have a good time and thats what i look for. I dont need a best guy friend…the guy would have to be gay for me to be able to confide in them.  I have a wonderful bf who I want to stay with forever so I want to be careful. But you see the problem with spending time with the opposite sex and flirting with them even when it is harmless?  It is important to keep distance in order to keep that friendship.  Of course there are few exceptions to were the two people can be friends and do everything that i say not to do…but just wait and see that eventually one of them will develop feelings for the other or have already tried and are ok to just being friends.

 Therefore, I say if you just keep a distance, not confide in, and not flirt; you can be able to sustain a safe relationship with the opposite sex. Otherwise…its love town for them!
