Best Movie of the year: American Sniper

American Sniper was the best movie in 2015 so far, it brings forth a a true story of a soldier won happens to be legend from right here - Texas.

U.S.A Navy Seal Chris Kyle is one of the most lethal snipers in American history meanwhile trying to maintain his role as a husband and a father of two children ( a little girl and a boy). Kyle's dreams weren't to serve as a soldier but to become a well recognized cowboy along with his brother, a terrorist attack in New York changed his path. Kyle devoted himself to serve his country with all his life, to serve and protect his country from those terrorist attacks. While Kyle was still training to enlist into the Navy he meets his wife at  bar - yes that's right in a bar - whom he falls in love with, they get married before he goes to his first tour (war in Afghanistan).

Overall this movie's realist life of a Navy Seal, and not just any Navy Seal but a soldier that was a legend, the most lethal sniper U.S history. His obsession with the war going on in Afghanistan affected his marriage to the point of his wife telling him why continue with this marriage if he was gone most of the time, yet even when he was there with them he was there in is human body but his mind wasn't thee, he wasn't the same: he changed. Just to emphasize the full trauma that he carried, Kyle almost killed their dog at his son's birthday party...just because the dog was play biting his son. Perseverance is what Kyle had when he continue to go back to war to stop the most wanted terrorist in Afghanistan, an Olympic winning sniper that was killing the army's men. Kyle persevered, he believed, and he accomplished his mission: he killed the most wanted terrorist. Finally he could go back home to his family. Finally he has accomplished his mission in keeping his country safe.

A real life story of the physiological, emotional and physical effects on our protectors that go beyond the battle field, it extends to their homes, to their families, to their life's. Kyle was so kind hearted that he got killed by a veteran that had asked for Kyle's help, maybe out of resentment? It is unknown. We can learn so many moral life lessons from the American Sniper that it's the best movie of 2015.

Bill Cosby sued for sexual harassment

On November supermodel Janice Dickinson said in an interview that Bill Cosby had assaulted her in 1982 after they had dinner in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Now we see many cases of other women (who were very young at the time)  that were similarly assaulted. What was common between all these cases was the factor that Cosby used: he drugged his victims to them rape them. 

Now Dickinson is fighting to have justice done for what he did to her as a professional and as a person. It's important to be conscious that just because someone is famous and rich that they're "good" people. In fact that's usually the perfect disguise to get away with anything since you have all that money. Cosby has done so much damage to the lives of these women that he should be paying for those crimes.

As teenage girls it just comes off as yet another warning to never go alone or just girls with a guy(s) if you don't know them intimately. This could happen to anybody by anyone at any place, always be careful.

McDonald's workers protests for a higher wage

McDonald's workers have been fighting for a wage raise for approximately two years: last year more than 100 workers were arrested at a McDonald's annual shareholder meeting. Now this workers are stepping up their game by recruiting more cooks and cashier to join the peaceful protests that are taking place. Their demand is to get paid $15 dollars considering that the minimum wage is about $7, they have already gathered 5,000 cooks and cashiers.

It's a vital subject to be concerned about and to be aware off since as students most of us are working part time (some even full time) in fast food restaurants. This could change the way wages are handled in fast food restaurants meaning that it will not only affect the workers ( in a positive way) and the consumers ( maybe not so positive since prices might have to go up...).

Personally, it would be a step forward to pay McDonald's workers $15 dollars after all McDonald's is a 24 hour restaurant meaning there's usually plenty of customers. With such big corporation that has thousands and thousands of restaurants all per the world, in almost every corner of each street it's everything but fair.

Home Movie Review

 Home is a PG rated movie from an animated, adventure and comedy genre that involves a sweet lovable alien named Oh. In this movie the meaning of "Home" is being considered through Oh's and his new earthy friend Tip through their adventure in saving earth. It shows us that no matter the mistakes that we make, no matter if we're different, home can be found with that one person that we love and not necessarily just a physical home. We all have mistakes and it's okay because we're humans: we're made of flaws but that's what make us who we are, they make us a better person.

I'm not going to lie that I did cry throughout some parts of the movie and yes I say it loud and proud. Why? It made me go back to all the times that I had gone through so many struggles within my family, I felt alone, I didn't feel like I had a family actually and that was the sad part. Seeing Oh get rejected by everyone just because he made so many mistakes and for being different made me realize that I wasn't the only one that went through that but there's also other teenagers and even children that go through that still. Fortunately we find "Home" where we find love from though unfortunately not everyone finds it. I was privileged that I found my "Home" in God before anything else, and once again I found it with my husband who has shown me a whole different aspect of what a family is like. This movie made me reflect a lot and I absolutely loved it from beginning to the end.

Oh meets Tip when he and the whole Boov population moved into earth trying to escape another race of aliens that are trying to capture them, thanks to Oh for sending a party invitation to all the Boov population and giving away their whereabouts to their enemy race. Tip is out on an adventure to find her mom and Oh is trying to escape captivity from the Boov police, as they both try to meet their individual goals they learn the true meaning of friendship. Oh learns about the humans music and their English and more than all that it's okay to make mistakes it's a "human thing".

This movie isn't only limited for children only, it can be watched by anyone (even adults). It shows many moral messages shown through little details that convey a life lesson. I highly recommend this movie and I highly hope you enjoy!

Have you watched it? What do you think?

Single Mom Fired For Facebook Post

Kaitlyn Walls a single mom from Texas got fired from her job before starting her first day at a daycare center due to a post she put on her Facebook page.

"I start my new job today....but I absolutely hate working at daycare [...] Lol it's all good, I just hate being around a lot of kids," said Walls.

At the time that Walls shared this post her profile was public meaning that anyone could see it (she has now changed her profile to private). Soon her post got attention and many began criticize her page, the drama intensified when her post was shared by Facebook yard sale group whom has thousands of followers.

"I actually cried," said Walls. "It really hurt because I wasn't trying ti offend anyone ever."

Many girl began attacking her because of what she wrote about no wanting to be around a lot of kids all the time which saddened Walls. Soon her employers heard about her now famous post on Facebook and informed her she didn't need to show up for work.

"It really was a big mistake," said Walls. " I don't hate children... I have my own, she's beautiful and I love her. I was just venting."

Walls case just comes as a reminder that we should be careful about what we post in social media: it can't be counted against us. This is the only case where someone has been fired for something they've posted in social media and most likely it won't be the last.

Pregnant Man

Male Thomas Beatie got pregnant with his daughter and gave birth on June 29, 2008 in the Oregon hospital. Beatie and his daughter are healthy and doing very well.

"Beatie, who took twice- weekly doses of testosterone and has his great surgically removed during his female-to-male transition," says PEOPLE magazine.

Thirty four year old Beatie was born a female but then switched his gender identity legally to male. He removed her breasts but he kept her reproductive organs, meaning Beatie could still conceive. The first time Beatie conceived after changing to a male was during his marriage with Nancy. They are now divorced and Beatie is with his new girlfriend Amber Nicholas.

"Being pregnant was the most incredible experience, but we want Amber to do it this time around," said Beatie.

He already has three children but he wants a fourth child with Amber. He would really like for Amber to be the one to get pregnant but if in any given case she can't conceive he would graciously step in. After all Amber already has two children from her previous marriage. Beatie wants to experience pregnancy as the father this time, and there's a possibility of them both getting pregnant at the same time. Though his doctor has recommended for him to not get pregnant again .

"My surgeon has advised against me getting pregnant because it would be a lot harder now I'm biologically a man,"said Beatie.


Some time after he gave birth to his daughter Susan in 2008 he decided to surgically changed his female part for a male organ in order to feel more like a man and to enhance his sexual life. Meanwhile he still has his female reproductive organs, but it would be more complicated to have a child. If he were to get pregnant he would have to have a caesarian, Beatie says he would do it just to have another bundle of joy.

"In a technical sense I see myself as my own surrogate, though my gender identity is make constant," said Beatie.

One Day

I once fell lost and alone thinking that I would never be able to find happiness,

I was sucked into a world full of darkness.
The endless pain was unbearable,
Breathing, walking, talking but contaminated with a disease.
A disease called  a broken heart.
So far I hadn't been able to heal those wounds,
Instead I kept getting into feuds.

They say that things get easier,
That time heals all things.
That's a lie.
It worsens with time,
Little by little you begin to die.
Scrutinizing pain evolving your whole body, mind and soul,
Hoping that the remaining pieces can be sewn.

Where is God?
Where are you now?
If you exist then why do you make me suffer?
Why are you tormenting me?
Are you even real?
Why am I here?
I have so little to live for.

Submerged in those rhetorical questions the pain, the cluelessness only deepened.
Sorrow becomes a faithful companion,
Tears become a necessity,
The pillow becomes a best friend.

Love.
Peace.
Happiness.
Nowhere to be found.

No God didn't save me,
No He didn't give me happiness,
No He didn't come into my life.

He was always there with me all along,
It was I that never bothered to believe in Him,
It was I that hadn't gone to His arms when I was discomforted,
It was I that gave my back to Him,
It was I that hadn't given my life to Him.

But that one day,
I gave my life to Him,
It was then that He had permission to be in my life.

One day: I found happiness.

18 year old dates her biological father

An 18-year-old woman in the Great Lakes is dating her biological father for two years whom she had finally met after 12 years of separation. They are currently engaged, they're planning a non-traditional wedding that won't be registered legally and they're planning to have kids together in the future when they move to New Jersey where adult incest isn't illegal. 

"I was seeing my dad for the first time in forever but it was also like, He's so good looking!", said the 18-year old.

Her mother and father conceived her on prom night, they had a 6 month serious relationship but then broke up while she was still pregnant. They didn't have any contact until she was 3 or 4 years old, they saw each other on the weekends since he lived an hour away: there was constant argument about visitation. Her mother wasn't fond of him seeing her, she wouldn't even meet him half-way on the road. 

"He was living with his girlfriend. On the first night he slept on the couch and I slept on the floor, just to make sure that I was okay." she said.

Her mother had taken her Facebook privileges away and had conspicuously rejected her father's friend requests, once she got her privileges back she got into contact with her father. After chatting for a week they met up in person, then later on she went to stay over at her father's house for five days. That's when she found out she was romantically attracted to him. 

"He was wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a tank top and after I bit him I could see goose bumps pop up from his toes to his shoulders," she said. "Then he pinched my inner thigh and I got goose bumps."

After admitting that they had strong feelings for each other and discussing wether if it was wrong they kissed and they made love for the first time: she lost her virginity to him. He knew that she was a virgin so he told her if she didn't feel comfortable at any point to just tell him. She didn't feel weird at all, it actually felt natural to her as if she had just made love to a man she had been with for years. 

"I’m planning on a full-on wedding but it won’t be legally registered," she said.

Her wedding color scheme is black and purple, they're both going to wear converse tennis shoes.
He's going to wear a nice dress shirt, jeans and she's persuading him into wearing a bow tie, meanwhile she's going to wear a black dress. Her grandpa - from her father's side - will give her away on the aisle, while her best friend will be her maid of honor. 

"We’ve decided that most likely we won’t," she said. "I don’t want to give them any problems."

They're planning on having babies but they won't tell them that their father is her dad, since her fiancés parents want to spend time with their grandkids they're going to have to figure out how everyone will be known to keep the secret hidden. As for genetic problems she's already done some research and she found out that there's no risk on her kids having any genetic problems problems, if they did she wouldn't risk it. 

"I just don’t understand why I’m judged for being happy," she said.

She says that people should research incest and GSA so that they can understand it and see how often it actually happens. As an 18 year old you're considered an adult under the law and you're able to consent so she considers herself to be able to take care of herself. It's not an abusive relationship since she's fully aware of what's going on and she gives consent. She's happy with her fiancé and that's all that matters, once she moves to New Jersey she doesn't plan coming back to her hometown: she plans on starting a new chapter where no one knows her nor the relationship with her fiancé being her father.

Panama City Beach Rape

Panama officials are tired of this similar cases like this one happening, they says that is by far the most sick of them all. This hasn't happened once, twice nor three times, it has happened more than 200 times besides the ones they haven't discovered. We live in Houston and the closest beach that we have access to is Galveston, but theres not much activity to record here. But what about in the big cities where it's an attraction for teens to traveler visit when they're on spring break? It impacted me just as it impacted every officer that a rape in broad daylight wasn't stopped, instead everybody just stood there looking while this young girl got raped. Instead of taking my phone out to record i would call the police, get help or try to help this girl out, but unfortunately none of the people by standing did this. If this happened while the sun was out in public, imagine what could happened during the night time, I would be terrified to go out as a women. We should be aware that this kind of stuff happens more often than our minds could possibly think, we live in Galveston where there's little to no beaches, seas, rivers, etc. We will hardly hear something like that happening here. I was upset, I felt indignant at the situation and more than anything I was disappointed.

Pregnancy Pregnancy and More Pregnancy!

Pregnant woman...hormones running wild, feeling fat because they don't fit into their old clothes...yeah. Woman go through so many changes emotionally and physically that this hilarious video will not only make you move to the beat but will also give pregnant girls/women a laugh. I totally laughed through the whole video, I never get tired of it even through I watched it more than twice.

On a more serious note I would like to discuss about teenage pregnancy and how politics pretty much leaves teenagers on their own. I read an article on how here in America most teenagers are sexually active more than any other places, Europe coming into a close second. See the thing isn't wether is wrong or right thatyoung people should be having sex at such young age, is about the unplanned pregnancy that occurred due the lack of knowledge. When surveyed most girls said that they didn't think they could get pregnant, as for young men they said that they thought they could prevent pregnancy by having intercourse standing up, not to mention that many think that "pulling out" is also a safe choice.

Another issue found in young unplanned pregnancies: many come outside of marriage. Yes there's a lot of opinions about marriage: some don't believe in marriage instead believe in living together in civil union, meaning living and doing things as a married couple except without the court paper and the church ceremony. Others believe that there's no problem if they have sexual intercourse before marriage either with their current partner or their fiancé, or a girlfriend that they plan on marrying. And there are those that don't believe in sex before marriage.

Honestly I don't believe in sex before marriage for the exact same thing: if you happen to fall pregnant by "accident" it'll be okay. Your more secure, you've learned to mature more, become more responsible, and more importantly you know that your husband won't leave you because he's scared. He's also more mature and responsible, which means that you already have a more stable lifestyle as if you weren't married.

According to C.D.C condoms are 82% effective in preventing pregnancy but after relying only on condoms for four years, theres a possibility of becoming pregnant at least once. That's where the preposition of the LARCs comes in. LARCs or IUDs are implants placed inside the girls uterus that remains in place that strops conception to happen, it lasts up to 5 years, it's effectiveness in negligible. When offered free LARC implaments to sexually active teenagers, teenage pregnancy and abortion rates fell highly. Not to mention theres also a similar implement for guys as well.

Unfortunately our government doesn't invest very much in sexual classes for teens to learn about their sexually, preventions, etc nor do they invest to have preconceptions. Medicaid pays up to $12,000 for a birth yet they only invest $8 dollars on teenage programs to avoid pregnancy.

Either young people should be having sex or not, our government should be investing more on programs for teenage pregnancy prevention.

What's your opinion about this?

Book Review: A Voice in The Wind

It's the first Jewish-Roman way in Jerusalem after about 70 years of the death of Jesus Christ. Francine Rivers, the author of the best-seller "Redeeming Love" takes us back in time for an adventure. It's just not another love story as you might think, but instead it brings us back to the time period after the death of Christ, where the persecution in Rome for Christians was at it's peak. The apostles were still in hiding and holding preachings with the believers.

It captivated me in such way that I couldn't put down my book until I read it all. Hassadah's family was killed in the Jew massacre, she was the only survivor and was sold as a slave. In order to survive as she's assigned to Julia Valeria's slave she must keep her religion a secret. A struggle between continuing practicing the way of Jesus, which is really really hard, and continue fighting to bring the light into her captors house. Between keeping her heart clean against Julia's harsh and unruly mistreatments, can love bloom between Julia's brother Marcus and Hadassah? Sweet, quiet, plain Hadassah who's relentless faith is her priority even above her life, and reckless, indifferent, handsome Marcus who doesn't believe in anything but money.

I believe this book can be enjoyed by anyone even if your not religious nor a Christian though I do think that you would have to endure a little bit of romance, but overall have an open mind to learning new things. Even though the story is fiction some of the writing that is written is what's on the Bible so it'll take those who don't have much knowledge of the Bible on a learning trip. Honestly I enjoyed reading this book and I believe you can enjoy it as well.

Relationships

Looks like it's time for another free post! Yay! In today's free post I want to take advantage and get rid of some stereotypes that go around almost everyone's mind...which leads to disaster.

When we're single or taken (may it be boyfriend/girlfriend or engaged) majority of people dream that marriage will be an ocean full of roses, beautiful, romantic and just this mushy gushy happy feeling thingy. It's not. I'm sorry to be so direct. I've been around many grown-up couples that have shared they're marriage experiences with me about how hard it was to construct a happy relationship. I know is hard to imagine that the cute couple you might have in mind that are so happy with each other (they get along well) may have had arguments. But the truth is that after the honeymoon (some even in the honeymoon!) we must work hard to maintain a happy marriage.

When your dating everything is so different: you only see that person for a couple of hours but you don't really spend that much time together. When you go on dates you both get pretty for each other with cologne/perfume, your best clothes, you try to have manners, and the list goes on and on. When you get mad at each other you just say,"You know what? I'm leaving bye." And that's it. Or if the argument was really like mega bad, you'll probably break you and y'all can each go on different paths. Well my friend, in marriage it's not like that. If you get mad, you have to work things out or just leave things as they are. Don't be fooled by the fact that celebrities marry, divorce, re-marry, divorce and repeat.

While Dating

I remember when I was dating my husband I was already conscious that marriage wasn't easy nor an easy task, but I definitely did not think about the details. When I started liking my husband what I liked about him was that he was serious, mature but at the same time he was funny at times. What conquered me was that he shared the same faith that I had and we both had the same objectives in life. When he told me that he liked me we started praying and later on we started dating officially. During our dating period I already had a picture in my mind, I had already set certain expectations of what our marriage would be like. I won't say that I dreamt of a Hollywood style marriage, but in a way I thought that it would be at least a little bit of a river of chocolate hehe. In my mind I thought that because we both changed a lot during our dating time that it would make it easier when we got married. A total lied to myself.

Married

Now that I'm married I've gained experience yet I know that I have a lot more to learn. You learn a lot about the person you love, the way they really are when they're home with you all the time. When you go through problems you see how they react and how they maintain the balance between their emotions and their rational side. You see their flaws. And the thing is? That's when you discover if you love them as you thought it was. They're humans, imperfect beings that make mistakes, that are going to hurt you at times, and that's when you'll be put to the test. If you love them, no matter how hurt you are, you will forgive them. No, your not going to get payback for what they did instead your going to let it go and continue giving your best to them. In return they'll do the same because both of you love each other, you want the best for each other. Your not two people anymore: when you make those vows before the Altar (or some just in court) you become one, meaning that if one hurts the other that person is hurting themselves as well. When both partners put their efforts by sacrificing things that hurt the other, molding their behavior, and let go of the selfishness they construct a happy marriage. It takes time, it takes sacrifice, it doesn't have anything to do with feelings as society makes us believe but it's decision to be happy. If we go by our emotions we're done. For example sometimes my husband makes me upset and my flesh, my ego, my heart says to ignore him to give him the silent treatment, but instead go to him and hug him even if he doesn't want me to. Later on he says I'm sorry and he's hugging me. If I hadn't hugged him first he probably would have gotten even more mad.

So relationships....expectations vs reality.

What's your opinion on relationships?

(Here's a song that goes with the topic, I urge you to listen to it and also comment on what you think about it.)

"God's Not Dead" Movie Review

"God's Not Dead" is a Christian based movie that was released on 2014 and was ranked the #2 movie in the country. It is categorized as Drama with a rating of PG, this movie has been watched not only by believers but also by unbelievers and even atheists. Being a Christian based movie, it's made the point that indifferent from other Christian movies with the boldness, challenges faced, and several people's lives being portrayed at the same time. It's meant to show how believers faith can make a difference wherever they are, and they shouldn't be shamed of what they believe in. They must proof not only with they're words but with they're life that they're faith in God is not only superficial.

It actually did make me analyze how I've been expressing my own faith as a Christian, have I been letting myself be intimidated by non-believers opinions? Perhaps I haven't done enough to actually proof by my way of living that God is alive. I know he's alive for everything that he's done in my life, I used to live a totally different life but when I found God it all changed. The obstacles that Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper) faced was a way of seeing if God's will or people's would prevail.

Josh Wheaton is a freshman college student two's objectives was only to study and build his career for his future with his girlfriend. Only to find out that his Philosophy professor is a huge atheist that compared to a Roman soldier back in the days wouldn't be too far off. Josh deals with an inner struggle between doing what everyone else around him is telling him to do, and what the voice within  him is telling him to do so. Only to make matters worse, his girlfriend whom is supposed to have the same faith as him, I mean c'mon they met in a youth group meeting, breaks up with him due to what he has decided to  do because well she's selfish.

Many people say that it was a movie with "bizarre drama" but in my reality it wasn't, it was that "bizarre drama" that actually made it's point be made. After all they're trying to fro of that God is real so how not show it when people are in the bottom of the pit and no other person is there for them? Yet God ends up being there for them, which I can personally say it's happened in my life and other's people's life that I know.

Shane Harper who played Josh Wheaton is an American actor, dancer and song-writer. He is mainly known for playing the role of Spencer on the show, "Good Luck Charlie" on Disney Channel.

Christians will enjoy this movie though unfortunately majority of non-chistians might not like this very much.

The Fault In Our Stars (Spoiler Alert)

Can I say that I cried and cried and cried and cried some more though out this movie? Do I have to mention that this movie touched my heart so much so that I cried with Hazel? I don't think so. Though I'm still going to tell you that I did cry and yes I did feel her pain. This was actually a book first and then turned into a movie that has now gone viral, majority of people know or have already seen/read it.

I'm not going to speak about the story, if you want you can go ahead and search it up and watch it or go ahead and read it (in a nice voice hehe). What I'm going to to speak about is about the story itself that conveys the true definition of love, Hazel and Gus stuck by each other's side no matter what throughout they're sickness. Gus knew that Hazel would die one unexpected but what Hazel didn't know was...that he was going to die soon too. He ends up (spoiler alert) dying before her sadly, he had cancer that caused his heart to stop.

Relationships nowadays are so superficial that it's hard to find a relationship that actually has the real meaning of being there for one another when things get fought, instead that's when they decide to quit. Like c'mon you told that person, "I love you," and just like that you leave them like hot potatoes because of a small problem. So not true that you love them. This movie conveys love in action, they hardly said "I love you" but with their actions they said it plenty of times.

How do we show we love the people around us? Maybe we should consider our actions towards them.

150 People die in Germanwings Airplane: Lubitz

On Tuesday a airplane with 150 people crashed over France killing the majority of the passengers and the pilots. Investigators have found out that the co-pilot Andreas Lubitz locked out the pilot that had walked out for a while, and that's when the plane crashed. It seems like there's no apparent reason to think that it was a suicide nor religious related. It's been found that Lubitz was sick but he hadn't told his employer of his condition, on Monday the doctor gave him an excuse to miss work for the next day which of course he didn't miss. From the finding it seems like Lubitz was to undergo an everyday check up, for he might have been physically and mentally sick.

I do think it's important for us all to know this news to know what is going on around us but also to know the "why" this sort of accidents happen. The dead of over 100 people could have been prevented if Lubitz hadn't gone to work and told his employer about his health condition. Many families are mourning the death of they're lost one all for what? For the action taken by a proud person that didn't want to admit that they weren't okay to do they're job. Maybe he would have gotten help, though nowadays is hard for people to open up about they're problems while being eembarrassed about others opinion. Or even to just maintain an imagine of a person that has they're life together.This serves us as a life lesson too, we must learn to not let our ego, our proudness to hurt other people around us. And that's why I chose this current event to make aware of this.

The article I chose is in Spanish since it has the details about Lubitz' health conditions but here are some links in English so you can understand what is going on with the case so far.

Movie Review of the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 2" by Ben Kendrick

Ben Kendrick made his movie review seem like a melodramatic complain of the actual movie by ranting for a long while about the audiences expectations of the movie. Such as, "It goes without saying that moviegoers who are simply uninterested about the Twilight franchise will not enjoy Breaking Dawn - Part 2 - as the film still contains the usual series staples (shirtless Taylor Lautner, glittering vampires, melodramatic romance, etc)." I didn't really like this movie review for the actual fact that it was full of unnecessary details that made the review prolong. It didn't keep my attention for long, I barely started reading and I was already bored of the article itself. Thumbs down for Mr. Kendrick on his review of Breaking Dawn part 2.

Movie Review of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 2" by Eric D. Snider

As Eric D. Snider reviews the final book of the "Twilight Saga" series he tells us the main events you need to know about the story within the movie, which makes it easy to understand even if you haven't seen any of the movies (or read the books). He makes comparisons within his writing adding in some humor as he says," These characters, many with special abilities beyond the usual vampire talents, compromise an X-Men like squad." I really liked it overall though he's not that into the books or the movies (as usual) but it was a great written article that if I hand't known about the books nor the movies I probably wouldn't have been very interested in the Twilight movies.

Movie review of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 2" by Roger Ebert

Roger Ebert writes a movie review of one of the movies that has engrossed billions of people around
the world: "Breaking Dawn part 2" from the series "The Twilight Saga" a genre of drama, fantasy and romance. It's different than other genres for the simple fact that it's a teenage girl that has fallen in love with the most gorgeous guy she's ever seen --and he's a vampire.The series is originally written by Stephenie Meyer but the movie was actually directed by Bill Condon. Ebert did a great job of describing the story in his review as he says," We see the new Bella in an entertaining sequence when her husband, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), takes her on a test drive, so to speak, as a vampire. She can run from place to place instantaneously, see details of nature in great and speeded-up detail, win in hand-to-paw combat with a mountain lion and has a taste for blood." Despite the fact that he wrote a marvelous (in my opinion at least) review filled with descriptions of the most important highlights of the movie without spoiling the movie, he himself doesn't like the movie. He says,"Look, the "Twilight" series is not my thing," yet he managed to keep his reader interested with his well written review but he did admit that he liked the finale of the movie which kept him in safe ground by stating his opinion yet putting there his counterattack already.

Let go

Why are you so promiscuous with me darling?

Why are you so cynical?

Why are you so pessimist?

I'm hanging on a thread,

And I'm skeptical of the fact if you can actually lead.

You tell me "I love you" and you embrace me in your arms,

But love doesn't leave you with loneliness.

Why darling why must you hurt me,

I've done nothing but love you.

Can't see straight,

I've lost all my strength.

Can't you see I'm grief stricken?

You've hurt me in the most cruel way my darling.

I want you but my heart is being taken,

It's a feeling so alien like that it's startling. 

Oh honey you left me heart sore,

A wound so deep inside my soul.

It goes down into my core,

You committed a life foul. 

You shattered my poor heart,

Threw a poisonous dart.

I thought I loved you,

But I misunderstood my obsession.

What I had for you wasn't love,

It was mere possession.

I've set you free,

Because I'm a better me without you. 

Darling I hold no malevolence,

My heart doesn't hold malice.

You left me heartbroken with your bitterness,

But now I've found happiness.

I had to let you go to make space for something new,

Something that I didn't know. 

I've found true Love from up above,

Now I live in grace.

Darling I wish the best for you,

Darling I wish happiness for you, 

Darling take care.

 Why?

I've let you go from my life.

I received bigger blessings because I set you free.

All you caused me was grievance,

But now I have peace.

Darling thank you,

Thank you for teaching me a life lesson,

To let go.

Love Story by Taylor Swift

In today's post I will be talking about this song that I personally like from Taylor Swift the song's name is "Love Story". Ever since I heard it I immediately liked it, and that's a very long time were talking about! Perhaps about 3 years ago, call me a weirdo but I do like some country and we all (or the majority that is) know that Taylor started off her career as a singer with country songs. But guess what? I am a sucker for love songs. What I liked about this song was the fact that it was so innocent, so pure, so not sexual. Nowadays most of the songs I hear talk about either sex or drugs if it's not either it's both of them, it's hard to find an innocent song or just normal songs for my taste.

This song precisely talks about two high school teenagers that fall on love with each other but the girls dad (as always dad's are so truly over protective :\) didn't agree with their relationship, it's then that they're love turns into a fairy tale if you could say that. He soon realizes that the only way he can love her without limits, without no one being able to get in between them, to be able to love each other forever...is to marry her. 

Is such a sweet song like oh my goodness! Every time I hear it it still brings me back to the same feeling: butterflies in my stomach, that gushy feeling in my heart (whom is saying "awww"). Back then I loved it and I was single but this song made the wait for the right person even more special, unique...pure.  And now that I have my other half that completes me it makes more sense and it's still very special, I like the song very much. 

Though I do wish that Taylor would find the true meaning of love to her own song to enable herself to truly be happy in her love life. I love her voice but I find her recent songs very different than what she used to sing before and that scares me. I thought at one point that she was actually brave for being different than the other artists, her songs were different even her way of dressing was different but now she's just like everyone else. But what can I say? People do change, and that's just the way it is, I'll always love her voice and I'm pretty sure they'll always be songs that I'll like anyways.

What about you? What kind of genre do you listen to? Favorite song? Drop down your comments :)
Ps. Here's the link to the video in case you haven't heard the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xg3vE8Ie_E

Tragic accident at the Grand Canyon

Three men have died in the Grand Canyon located in Northern Arizona just yesterday afternoon, officials have been on the case investigating the causes of this tragedy. The two survivors, Annie Fisher and Peter Fisher, both siblings survived the accident but their father Derek Fisher died in the incident.

"My dad thought it was a good day to go climbing so that me and Peter could get some practice," Annie Fisher said. "My dad was like our coach, he's passion was climbing so he trained us every time he had the chance." 

Sgt. Paul Blark says that the cause of this was equipment failure of two other hikers that were farther on top from the Fisher family, the two men are identified as Michael Jim and Scott Pam. According to paramedic Lucy Davis all three men died instantly due to the impact on the ground. The fall caused about 95% of their bones to break, suffering from several concussions and inner bleeding. Even if they would have survived they would have eventually died from brain trauma, torn limbs, and damage on vital organs to the body such as the heart.

"We didn't know the other two hikers but as a tradition in the hiking family we agreed to go all together," Peter Fisher said. "As soon as they got loose our own equipment couldn't handle all of our weight and that's when they fell."

Both Annie Fisher and Peter Fisher are being treated by a physiologist to surpass the trauma of the accident that killed their father. Peter stated that he was under pressure to either obey he's father or to disobey him with the possibility of all of them dying. Peter Fisher cut Derek Fisher's rope to let go off his weight since their equipment couldn't hold on to any more weight. Now he has to face he's new reality as much as possible after having to been forced to commit such a decision of killing his own father.

"This is the dangers that every single hiker face when they decide to climb, they have to keep in mind that one day they can climb but never return alive," Sgt. Paul Blark said. "What happened here is a tragedy and we encourage every hiker to think hard about climbing this extremely high canyons and mountains before actually doing it. They have to bear in mind that they are going up against death itself. Three men have died but fortunately two have survived and we're hoping to decrease the amount of deaths of hikers by encouraging more precautions."

Abductions of Christians in Syria

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/24/us-mideast-crisis-christians-idUSKBN0LS0MH20150224

Syria's Christian population is undergoing through some harsh times with the killings and kidnapping of elderly and young women that have assumed their faith in God. Over the course of four years Christian's living there have emigrated due to the conflict going on ub their towns. They're traveling far from home to Hasaka seeking safety, refuge and the freedom to walk around without having to worry about being killed. I chose this article because it worries me that people that share my faith are being murdered for admitting what they believe in. No one is killed for saying, "My favorite color is blue," instead they'll get a response similar to this,"Oh my favorite color is green." Which is why in my opinion it shouldn't be of anyone's concern what someone's religion is, it does't give anyone the right to take away a person's life, that's natures and God's decision to make. For example,  I don't have anything against homosexuals but I don't agree with homesexuality. It doesn't mean I'm going to disrespect,  judge, mistreat or commit an injustice against them by any means. This affects not only me but Christians all around the world, it means that believers are being persecuted in Syria so what could stop it from spreading into the whole world? It could begin to happen in other states, countries, cities and towns all over the world. That's why is important that other people are aware that this is going on, is a hate crime against someone who has different beliefs than what everyone expects them to  have. I could say, "The persecutions should be stopped! ", but I'm not im just going to be realistic.  It's not going to stop it's going to keep getting worser and worser unfortunately.  What can we do then? Pray, pray for them and try to do whatever we can to help if it's in own hands.

What's the difference

It's a typical day on a normal Tuesday trying to scramble between the overindulging crowd of teenagers in Spring Woods High School. As usual I'm practically jogging to cross the campus to get to my class on the other side. Like I said everything was normal. Or so I thought. I was near the corner to my destination when a girl stops me and tells me, "Your backpack is open, your backpack is all opened. Let me help you." She grabs my backpack and zips it closed rapidly and hurries away to her classroom, I thanked her wholeheartedly while she just took it as if it was a normal thing. What she didn't realize is that she opened up a whole new perspective of how I saw things.

On my way to class I passed more than 50 people, yet none of them managed or cared to tell me that my backpack was open. Instead I walked all across campus with my bag open (thankfully nothing fell out) and no one at all took at least one second to warn me. It may seem like a indifferent detail, but it shows how selfish people can be. This girl, even though she was in a hurry, she took the time to not only tell me but even zipped up my bag without me telling her to do so. How many people would do that? How many people would care? By the fact that I was almost to my destination and no one else told me anything, that would make that not many people actually cared. 

In my personal opinion, I would have done the exact same thing that this girl did to me, perhaps I may not know the person but I'll help them. I like helping people because it comes within my heart to do so, without expecting anything in return. I guess that's why I hadn't noticed before that not many people would actually hold the door for a girl if she's passing by or why people bump into you but not many utter even a slight, "Sorry." 

What happened to the "Golden Rule"? Treat others like you would want to be treated?

What's your opinion? If you saw someone's (a stranger's) backpack open would you let them know?

Fly High

See me fly sky high

Even when it seems like it ain’t possible

This world is full of woe

I look around and see sorrow in people’s faces

Looks like everyone is going through phrases

The young are wild and uncontrollable

Popppin’ them pills like there’s no tomorrow

Yet wonder why they feel so empty afterwards

Popularity is the priority

Cliques; nothing but a sorority

Babies having babies

Saying it’s “aight” b/c they’re mature enough 

Don’t even think how difficult it might be though

Clueless

But with a mask of fearless

Why though?

Trying to hide the scars marked inside they’re soul

As if they’re soul were already sold

It troubles my soul as I see such scrutinizing pain inside they’re eyes

While they perform a play they don’t belong to

Society puts expectations

And it doesn’t make exceptions

Suicide rates grow each day because of it

Outcasts can’t fit in to society

Bullying affirms it

While others fake to fit in

The world makes a different individual feel miserable

Individuality is considered absurd

But it doesn’t have to be that way

Believers in Jesus are out casted and judged

Mocked for assuming they’re faith

Even though they’re mocked they’ll always have what the world lacks

Happiness, peace, joy, and inner happiness

They don’t have to pretend anything b/c God suffices all they’re needs

That’s why I say,

Mock me

Bully me

Laugh at me

Do whatever you want

B/c at the end of the day I’m not void like they are

I’m a believer

I’m unashamed of Jesus Christ 

They’ll see me fly sky high

Even when it seems impossible

For I have God on my side
