Dreams...Why Am I Telling You This?

Today this girl in my grade asked me the one question that I despise answering: "What is your dream job?" I hesitated as I always do when someone asks me a question about my future. Then my friend Cosmina saved me and said "Film Maker" because I absolutely love movies, I love to create these films in my head, but they're usually music videos while I'm listening to my iPod. I love to watch them mostly but what I love more than anything in the world is that feeling that you get after watching a movie. It makes you feel like you can do anything, and when it hits you there is nothing like it. The feeling that anything is possible, that life is amazing, that the world is a beautiful place to live. And no one can take that feeling away.

I want to create that in other people. I want to give them hope. I want to have the courage to follow my dream wherever it may lead me because honestly I don't know what career would fit that description. This has probably been the cheesiest post yet. I just want you to know that music and movies, and that weird and incredible feeling I get in the pit of my stomach when someone fits the two perfectly, I believe that is what I want to create. That is my dream job.

I'm just too scared to tell people that.

Oh and just a hint, I think I decided to post this here because I know no one reads my blog so it seems pretty safe here, and if someone is reading this right now, good for you. Now you know one more thing about me I usually don't tell people...ah the power of the internet.

The Deep Blue Sea

I have to start off with telling you that the only reason I watched this movie is because I was having a Tom Hiddleston Movie Marathon this weekend, it didn't start on purpose, it just kinda happened. I will try my hardest not be biased in this post because I know this crush on Hiddleston will try and make me favor him in the movie.

So anyway, the two main characters are Freddie (Tom Hiddleston) and Hesta (Rachel Weisz). She is married to a judge but is having an affair with Freddie who was in WWII. Basically she leaves her husband who is boring and bland for a man with more fiery passion and seems more carefree. She falls in love with Freddie and her husband finds out and so she moves in with Freddie and for some reason which he is gone playing golf she tries to kill herself.

I don't completely understand why she tries to kill herself, maybe she just hates her life, I'm not entirely sure. Please help me understand. She was going to leave him a suicide note but after her attempt failed she tried to keep it hidden from him, he'd found it by accident of course. So he gets really upset because Hesta says that Freddie could never love her as much as she loves him and he doesn't want to get mixed up in this entire problem with the divorce and all. Everything's pretty complicated and sometimes I feel like I hate both Hesta and Freddie but then at the same time I feel sorry for both of them.

The problem is just that they are bad for each other. There's a line that Freddie says, it goes, "We're lethal to each other. You can't expect a bloke to go on after he's driven someone to suicide, much as he loves her." That line wrapped up a lot for me, helped me understand where Freddie was coming from. Their love is a messy one, it's all complicated and twisted which I honestly don't believe is what love should be like. The problem is part of me wanted them to stay together even after I knew they shouldn't be.

The movie as a whole was pretty good, it wasn't amazing, it was actually really slow. That's why I couldn't pay attention all the time, it was so quiet and slow and kinda bland sometimes. If you want to watch it for Tom then go ahead, if you want to watch it at all please do so but I didn't think it was great. And if you're not in the mood you'll probably just stop it after the first couple of scenes between Freddie and Hesta.

That's just my opinion, if you don't agree let me know. Plus it's like 12:30 in the morning and I am exhausted from school and basketball so who knows, my opinion might even change.

Make Kony Famous

Ok so this is how I found out. I was watching the trailer for The Avengers about the 10th time and then I decided to watch the trailer for The Amazing Spiderman. Then I started reading the comments and the top comment was KONY 2012 and I was confused, so I kept scrolling down and someone asked what it meant and people responded saying look it up. So I looked it up on youtube because I am free today and I have nothing better to do and it seemed important if so many people knew and it was the top comment. I clicked on the first video (it seemed legit) then I looked at how long it was and I was like, "What? Almost 30 minutes...oh whatever I'll just watch it."
I watched the whole thing, I cried about three times, and I immediately posted it on facebook and tumblr. As you can see now it's time for my blog to know. I know this will probably reach no one but hey, at least it's something.
If you want to watch the video this is the link:

It's really well done, I enjoyed watching it, but I guess I understand if you don't have the time right now. I'll let you know what the whole thing is about.

So there's this guy his name is Joseph Kony and he has this army made up of abducted children. He takes them from their homes and forces them to join his army, the rebel group called the LRA. He forces them to kill their parents and makes them mutilate people's faces. The girls are turned into sex slaves. This had been going on for over 20 years now and all the man wants to do is maintain power. He is greedy and selfish and needs to be stopped. The problem is almost no one knew who he was until now.

The guy who made the video has been working for 8 years on this project and has tried going to the government but the first time he tried to get them to help they said they wanted to take no part in something that wasn't threatening our national security. But he was persistent, he has made this campain in order to raise awareness and now the government has recognized him and this issue. We have troops in Uganda helping the military there learn how to find Kony.

The point is to get as many people as possible to know. Call your senator if you're in the states, send the video to another person. You can pledge and buy a kit to cover your town in posters and stickers to let people know on their site which is:

It's all going down on April 20, so get ready.

My School Has No Heart

And no spirit but that's not the point of this post. My school finally decided to block tumblr and facebook. I understand facebook but TUMBLR come on people, I mean you had to rip out the one thing that makes my day enjoyable. Right now I only have about three classes because all the IB students are taking their mock exams and I'm one of the only people not taking the IB program. So I usually just mess around on my laptop usually on tumblr looking up hot guys or funny stuff or scrolling through my dash. It's not like I really have anything better to do except read which I do even if tumblr is there.

I bet you it's these stupid freshmen and sophmores and their school laptops. The teachers were probably complaining because they don't pay attention in class because the freshmen and sophmores have laptops from the school to use in class (our school is trying to be more technologically advanced *rolls eyes*). So they probably found out they were on facebook and tumblr the most so they blocked those websites. The school had to give them laptops...really. You don't think if you give a kid the key to a whole world of procrastinating they're not gonna use it? You don't think they're gonna want to play around on the internet instead of listening to a lecture on the Civil War? Get real.

At least they haven't blocked blogger because then all I'd have left to do is read and study, study, study. They're trying to kill us, well it's not as bad as the IB but I do study on my own time. I just don't want to study all the time, I'd like to enjoy my time in this world.

The thing that creeps me out the most is that they could be watching me right now, as I write this post. So it's pretty stupid that I'm doing it at school but I just couldn't read anymore, no offence to my book, it's really good, I just get tired of doing the same thing for too long.

Well basically now I'm pissed because I can't look up stuff on tumblr about my favorite shows and see gifs of my favorite scenes of movies and stuff. The more I think about the the more I dislike this school but I shouldn't think abotu it too much, I'll be out of here soon enough...3 months. Actually less but we'll round for now.

I'm done with this problem, but now I'm not sure on what to do so I'll look for pictures to add to this post :) Makes the posts more inviting I think. Plus my iPod is running out of battery which means I can't read :(

Movie Weekend

So I have been watching a lot of movies lately, well since about the beginning of the school year. I don't know why, I just love movies. Anyway this weekend I watched five, I think it's because I have been so busy with school I didn't have time to watch anything last weekend or the one before so this weekend I went crazy. I must warn you first, this post is going to be mostly dedicated to the Marvel movies I watched because I can't stop thinking about them. I watched the following:

1. The Incredible Hulk
2. Breakfast At Tiffany's
3. Thor
4. The Help
5. My Fair Lady

Kind of a weird bunch to watch at the same time but I basically called this weekend my Superhero/Audrey Hepburn weekend not including The Help, but I'd already seen it, I was just re-watching it with my mom.

I'll start by saying why this whole thing started. So first I wanted to watch Thor on Friday night but the copy we had sucked. So I watched The Incredible Hulk instead because the Hulk is in The Avengers too so I decided it would still contribute to my Avengers learning time.

That turned out to be awesome, and the guy that played Bruce Banner was pretty good looking... yeah he was hot. If only he played The Hulk in The Avengers. I guess it's ok, we still have Mark Ruffalo who is damn fine. Then at the end Tony Stark was there I was just like kljshdfaksdjfha. It was just too much for me to handle, haha no actually we'll get to that in Thor, but Robert Downey Jr. is still amazingly sexy, but my sister has dibs on him, she likes him more anyway.

Then Breakfast At Tiffany's, it was really late when I started watching it so I fell asleep during the movie and I finished it later, but I really liked it. I was happy I'd finally seen it, and god her style is amazing, so classy. I wish my wardrobe was more like hers.




The next night, Saturday, I watched Thor in beautiful Blu Ray quality. Ok so I was really kinda skeptical of this movie, I have to be honest about that because it's the reason I put off watching it for so long. I thought it looked stupid for some reason, I don't know I guess the idea of some buff guy from another planet with flowing blond locks and a beard, wielding a giant hammer just seemed like too much for me. But then I watched it, I didn't like Chris Hemsworth at all but it was ok because I had my eyes set on someone else, which I guess is good for me because my friend has this thing for Chris now. I was totally falling for Loki (I need you to understand that I'm not really IN LOVE with these people it's just the way I express myself, I pretty much go crazy, I believe many of you can understand). So quiet and mysterious although you could tell he had so much opinion by his facial expressions, damn his facial expressions! And his blue eyes how they contrasted with his dark hair. How tortured he was just made me want him more. I don't know if there are words to describe how I felt when he let go at the end. I've never felt this way about the villain in a superhero movie before, I was so torn, I didn't want him to be evil but it was so HOT. Let's make one thing clear though, I don't think Tom Hiddleston is a god, just Loki. Hiddleston's hair is weird to me plus it's the character that I love. I'm kinda sad though because Loki's hair in The Avengers is longer and it's just annoying, it was like the perfect length in Thor, nonetheless I'm still so excited to see him again. I'm excited to see all of them again...especially Chris Evans/Captain America *drool* I can't wait to see him on screen again. I just can't wait to see everything continued.

I am running out of time in this class period so I'll end this here. You already know what other movies I watched and I'll let you know I loved all of them. This was a good weekend in terms of movies. Overall it was a good weekend. I will be posting soon because I have more to say, especially about what I anticipate most this year. I'll let you know what that is later. Until then :)

Oh yeah, and in case you think I'm being too harsh on Hemsworth I did like him at the end of the movie. The whole romance with Natalie Portman's character was so sweet and sad and his first day on Earth was really funny.

Back, Again

So ok I know I haven't been dedicated to my blog and all. I really do have things to write about I just have been so busy and I kind of forgot about blogger now that I have a tumblr and all here's the link http://evasandevas.tumblr.com/
Life has been pretty crazy recently. Not in the way life should be crazy, more like very academically challenging. Anyway I've been really busy focusing on Math because I'm taking it for an IB certificate and I'd like to get a good grade. Oh I hate the IB just so you know, and I'm not even taking the full diploma. Most of my friends are though so I get a lot of stress from them and I listen to their issues, it sounds like hell, it looks like hell, it's probably what hell is like.
I think next week I will get back to blogging more normally, I'll probably post about my first concert! That was last summer, it was amazing. But I don't have time to write about that at the moment because I should actually be studying for my Math Paper 2 mock. I'm a wonderful procrastinator.
I should be on my way now. Hopefully you will hear from me more often...or not, I still have my tumblr.
