The BEST documentary I've ever seen. I watch a lot of documentaries too. I'm way too into watching the History Channel/National Geographic/Biography Channel/Discovery/Smithsonian Channel. Yeah that's an awful lot of learning channels (thanks to Fios! wish we could get that in Philly :/)

I actually hesitate often before watching something that I know is ultimately going to make me feel like crap. I had an idea of everything this documentary was going to be...something that I knew I believed in and understood very well, but left me with a lot of angst and anger in the end.

Halfway through, I felt my repeated doom coming, but by the end they kind of lift your spirits with this one. They make you feel as though we (as in humans) have done a lot to save the earth and well just need to do more. haha. But they don't leave you feeling entirely responsible.

Yeah, the earth is overpopulated...but we can evolve...we just can't rely on nature because we have been slowly killing all that is around us. Therefore, get your asses up and do something! AKA....our government especially needs to take action because it seems all other governments are doing it for us (places that don't even get to use the resources they have). This film did a great job at portraying the facts in the clearest way possible (with some of the most beautiful music backing it all up).

Whether you smoke...or you don't

It shouldn't make much of a difference in your thoughts for the bill Obama is signing.
Well I guess I have no right to actually say what you should or should not think.

But really? Get off your high horses people. This is a good thing. Its illegal to sell to kids under 18 so why market it like that's the demographic you are going after. They don't really do that with alcohol (well for the most part).
Yes. I'm not a smoker and I guess maybe I just have a different perspective and all...though I do understand smokers. I just don't understand why smokers suddenly want to hate Obama for being a responsible president for signing this bill. He isn't a lone wolf...it made it through the House and the Senate in order for him to even see it. I know people who are just going to stop supporting him now because of this.

He isn't making cigarettes illegal. He's just making things right based off of his own experience with it all. He's a smoker. He started when he was a kid. I just don't think that its cool that tobacco companies say its OK for 12 year olds to be enticed. In my opinion...."it just ain't right".

It isn't a matter of smoking being right or wrong with this bill. Its a matter of marketing to people that aren't old enough to buy in the first place.

Well I'm gonna get a few labels for posting this...

But I'm just gonna go with it.
I like Bill Maher. I don't even consider myself a liberal, but in most cases, he pretty much says everything I want to say and do say in a large variety of topics.

Bill Maher: Thank you for bashing both texting and Twitter in this!
The way things ought to be--fast forward to 5:12.



Like I say in the title...I know I'm going to get all kinds of judgments from posting this but hey--that's what happens when you have a blog right?

Sorry!

Well..I haven't posted in quite a while and I apologize for not doing so. School has been really crazy with all the performances and rehearsals for performances and papers and tests. Excuses, excuses, excuses.....blah, blah, blah.

I will update when I find something that inspires me. Until then.....just watch this video. It gets me extremely excited to see them live.
