Words Per Minute

I have like a secret power where I can read at a speed that is in humanly possible.

I finished “Four” By Veronica Roth which is a serrate book adding to the Divergent series and oddly was the only good book in the series even though it was’t even in it!!! I seriously love love love the concept of the whole series but it is just so poorly written it is hardly a page turner.
Adding onto that I then say “Insurgent” which is a movie adaption to the second book in the series and I was actually really impressed with how similar it was to the actual book I really couldn’t find any major differences… and I cringe at these words but the movie was actually better than the book. I know horrible but true.

Then I finished “Paper Towns” by (the almighty) John Green. He is one of my favorite authors without a doubt. If anyone is going to figure out the answer to everything it will be him. He is one of the most brilliant people ever. Look into him he also has a youtube channel he shares with his brother Hank. Paper Towns did not disappoint in the slightest. It was like anything John Green… Tragic, hilarious, beautiful, and witty.

I also am halfway through the third book in the Maze Runner series. And it is actually better than I expected. Again the writing isn’t as dramatic as I would have hoped in a post apocalyptic teen drama book but I mean you can’t have everything. I actually haven’t been able to but the books down. I mean I read the Maze Runner before the movie came out and I loved the concept but his writing made me fall asleep. And the movie was just as good as the book. I guess I didn’t have much hope for the rest of the series but a year later I decide to pick up the second book and I do not regret it at all. It is honestly one of the most realistic post apocalyptic book I have ever read… well I mean besides the Hunger Games which is also one of my favorites.

Now for the less exciting news:
Yeah so its been awhile.
Life gets crazy and then one loses their voice again for no freaking reason and then things get even more crazy.
Of course the universe knew I had a million important things to do this weekend so that means that it would be a good time for me to not be able to speak to anyone!!!! AHHHHH!

So then that leaves us with this. I croaked my way through interviews and ended up getting into another college! yippy!

Anyways reading all these books this week has made me come up with more theories about the world we live in… but I won’t get into that now.
This concludes a daunting post about nothing and books! YAY!

Lottery Ticket

Lottery tickets are addicting but also always disappointing.
I had this one lottery ticket the other day where you have three numbers and they all have to add up to 7,11, or 21.
My numbers added up to 20… Like are you kidding me! Just one more number and I would have won 21,000 dollars!
Which seems like a lot but then when I thought about it that wouldn’t even make a dent in my college debt… so yeah so screw it.

Heart Gummys and Cheesy promotions

In the month of February almost everything is heart shaped making everyone feel uncomfortable. I mean I am currently in a relationship so it doesn’t make me feel more alone. Just adds to the fact that you are supposed to spend money on a hallmark holiday that literally means nothing…
When I say everything is heart shaped I really mean everything!
I am in love with gummy worms so my mother gifted me with heart shaped gummy worms. Excited to dive into my precious sugary snack I was horrified by the fact that they were all the same flavor and they tasted nothing like worms! It tasted like I was eating flesh… What?! This is not what I signed up for!!!!!!!! Maybe it was because they were heart shaped… Ick.
How come sometimes when things are shaped it makes things taste better or worse. It’s like when you were little and you wanted everything to be dinosaur shaped… Ya you know what I’m talking about.

Also I joined what is now my band “Altitude” last year… We have about seven original songs right now but we have only gotten around to recording two of them.. and they are finally finished! So there is the Facebook link…

We are working on the social media aspect so I will give updates.
Our audio engineer is Brian Johannsen from Heart and Soul Radio.
So yeah…
Thats all for today.

Song of the Day #13 and Dream Dictionary

As we have discussed my favorite genre is alternative and indie. Which means the song of the day is an indie song! Yay for you! You know what they say don’t judge a song by it’s genre! (or they will say that now)

The song of the day is=
Greek Tragedy by The Wombats

Here the Youtube link!

The music video surprisingly stars a girl from the first generation of one of my favorite shows Skins UK.

I have been having some pretty trippy dreams lately so I have turned to the internet to figure out what is in the deep corners of my mind. What a scary thought.
I have been relying on the trusty site: http://www.dreamdictionary.org

Apparently the meaning of one of the main themes was: “…symbolizes acceptance of your character. The stranger represents hidden or repressed traits of you. The kiss indicates you are content with yourself and recognize you need to be who you really are…”

That’s a good sign right? Although that is the only positive dream I have had in weeks.

Maybe the lack of sugar is causing my nightmares. It’s finally coming back to haunt me.

Steering Wheel Seams?

There has to be a logical reason why steering wheels have seams? I know nothing about cars so I am sure there is a obvious reason but… it has never accured to me that the material is sewn around it. It is one of those everyday things that we just bypass because it is the way it is.

I even looked it up and couldn’t find the answer…

Smoking Sugar

I am battling one of the hardest battles there is… quiting a bad and horrible habit. I am going to stop eating sugar (or at least that’s how it started now I am just going to ‘cut down’).

I figured since apparently eating the amount of sugar I eat is considered “unhealthy” or “life threatening” but I say no! I think it is a skill… downing a whole bag or starbursts in a matter of hours is legendary.

I also contemplated the fact that I quit smoking cold turkey style and succeed; cutting down on sugar would be a piece of cake… WRONG!

I am kind of terrified how sugar is harder to quit eating than smoking a cigarette. That is not how science is supposed to work.

Anyways… I will continue on this journey and give updates. That is if I survive the battle.

Another update I have now interviewed with four of the million colleges I applied to. This is the month where the truth is revealed. Wish me luck because unfortunately this month might determine my future.

Pixar Universe?

http://jonnegroni.com/2013/07/11/the-pixar-theory/

This is a very interesting link I found one StumbleUpon. It is a concept I have never thought of before but feel like I should have. But yet it seems like just something someone made up and made it sound legit because they can.
This person suggests all Disney Pixar movies are related. Like all the characters from every movie exist in one universe and this guy can prove it…

I don’t know maybe I just refuse ton care that much about it and thats why I can’t believe it… who knows.

It all seems to struggle to connect but if you add a little hope and magic you get one Pixar Universe! And even they all did connect why would it matter?

Anyways here is another website about it

Kingsman was Kick Ass

My attempt to post something everyday is not going so well… But…

I know I have been posting a lot about movies lately but I mean the oscars happened recently so movies have been on my mind.

On Friday I saw one of the only movies that looked interesting in the box office right now;
Kingsman: The Secret Service
Let me just start by saying it is the most graphic movies I have ever seen. EVER!
And I am an American Horror Story fanatic.
Kingsman had kick ass cinematography and it was a unique story that keep me interested the whole time. There were some parts where I was like, ‘Oh my god cover your eyes’ or ‘oh my god that is so horrible’
but other than that I was seriously impressed by the movie because I wasn’t expecting much…
The special affects are pretty awful but hey I mean what are you expecting it’s a spy movie with Colin Firth.
Speaking of actors… The casting for the main character ‘Eggsy’ was spot on his accent is authentic which is rare these days and he is the non pretty boy you would expect to be a struggling teenager in deep London.
I recommend it highly but only if you don’t have a weak stomach because again MOST GRAPHIC MOVIE EVER!!!!! Or if you are not very open minded/offended easily.
The morals it teaches are subtle but surprising. Movies like this one usually are just there to be about people kicking butt but this one had heart felt messages within it. I mean it is a action, comedy, and adventure movie which is like everything you could ever want.

Anyways here are the links for everything you could want to know.
