iLoVeIt

Ahh it's October, the season's mark that Fall is officially here. iLoVeIt!! I love the crispness that comes with this season and the movies. :D Now I don't celebrate Halloween but I do enjoy the films that depict fall and it's beauty. Growing up I wasn't allowed to watch things that involved magic as something to be obsessed over like Sabrina the Teenage Witch or Harry Potter, which I understand. Kids are impressionable and I know for a fact that I'd be out trying to imitate them when I was younger. There are certain things that kids just shouldn't be exposed to until they're mature enough to discern what's real and what's not. Now that I'm adult I have the freedom to watch whatever I please but I use discernment in choosing what I watch and what I don't (most of the time).  "Everything is permissible for me"–but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"–but I will not be mastered by anyt...

I really like Amy Winehouse's song "Valerie". It's strange though that I know someone with the same name of the song who's suffers with drug addiction like Amy. Someone particularly close to me who I pray for constantly because I don't want her to end up like Amy. I saw her recently and she was in the worst state I'd ever seen her in before. It kind of scared me. It was like she didn't recognize me and she was really disoriented. When she was younger she'd like to party and do all the typical things people who think they're grown do (drink, smoke, and party). She wasn't a big alchy but she sure is addicted to smoking. It makes me sad that there are going to be more people like her who will not think about the future effects these drugs are going to have on their family and their ability to function. O how I  wish I could go into more details about her life but these tragic tales have been told over and over again yet few heed the warn...

I watched "The Pianist" today. It's been out a while but I've been timid to actually watch it because of the descriptions I've read. I really don't like war movies but I've not hated the ones I have seen. They're usually not told in story form and if they are it's usually a boring narration of events. Plus like wars it's a war movie so it's bound to make me sad. What prompted me to overcome my anxiety was the music. A friend of mine introduced me to Chopin's "Nocturne in C sharp minor" via youtube. I thought that maybe this song would be somewhere in the middle of the film so that would keep me watching throughout the terrors of the story but it turns out that this particular song was at the start of the film. By the time the song was finished I'd been drawn into the plot against my longing to turn to a more pleasant subject. I really don't know what to say here. Go watch the movie if you haven'...

Throwback is the theme of this "Film Review". All of these films have been out for a while. I'm sure I'm not the only one late to seeing these films so I decided to continue with my review.  Instead of using stars to rate I use  ♥  (hearts) meaning I love it and to represent leave it I chose this symbol:  ☞  (pointing hand). Unstoppable    I believe I only heard one ill use of Jesus' name but folks were using God's name in vain a ton of times with the GD swear word. I didn't expect to be flipped off twice though. Most of the this seemed unnecessary, uncalled for and unwarranted. It's not something you want to be watching around kids because of the language.    Other than the negatives this was very entertaining. Centering around an out of control train headed for a heavily populated town in Pennsylvania, two workers decide to go renegade against authoritative commands to stay off the track and stop this train. They risk their jobs ...

   We all know the story of Robin Hood. The brave man who dared to defy his crooked government to feed the poor and starving. We have something like that going on today and it's not as glorious as Robin's adventures. You see Robin Hood took from his government the money taken by insanely high taxes for the king's lavish usage but today we're taking from hardworking taxpayers to give to people who don't pay taxes and into services that the majority doesn't want.    Around the time Obama was getting elected in '08 I asked a peer what she thought of democrat's concept to redistribute the wealth of others. She claimed to be fine with it and said it was fair because some people were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. I was appalled by her answer. What a way to think. I couldn't allow her to just have that opinion in her mind. So I told her I thought it was wrong and gave her the scenario of her currently working hard at school to make her dreams i...

  If you say you're not a follower you most likely are. To my generation I see people constantly trying to speak unification of the world but hate those whose views oppose their own. They say older adults and children are drones yet look at your choices, you're no different. You think you're above the masses? Hey you maybe different from your neighbor and friends but there's someone out there who's influenced your decision to be so very "different". Assess your choices. Adults are dumb? "When you grow up your heart dies"?   Every teen generation ahead of your own (especially the 60s) thought they were smarter than everyone. Some (not all) adults got the memo that life isn't all about pleasure. Life isn't all about art, music and love. If you want to own something, you're faced with Uncle Sam the Tax man and all other little fees placed on you. If you have kids, your heart walks around in a little body that you try desperately to...

There is a documentary by this same name that I'm using called Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected . You can find the film on YouTube , I strongly recommend all of my readers to check it out. I titled my blog with the same name because I've been wanting to talk about politics more and media schemes and I believe this will give me that platform. I need things to be organized which is why I have so many series. This will be the first of prayerfully many more post on this theme. Today I'd like to build the foundation on why I'm even starting this subject. I am a Conservative, socially and fiscally. I believe many others are also fiscally (financially) Conservative even if we don't agree on social topics. Growing up I've run into a lot of (I'm sorry to say) ignorance when it came to politics. I'm not trying to be mean but when I've asked people about why they believe the way they do they can't explain themselves or give factual information t...
