Hancock * * * (3 unanswered Stars)

Will Smith's new movie, Hancock, has only two words to describe it, and they are "unanswered questions". If you are planning to see the movie then maybe reading this isn't the BEST idea because there may be some spoilers on the way. I feel like we were given the background information consistant of a cow. If that makes any sense, though it doesn't because the movie made little to no sense. I know I know I know the movie is fictional, but some things just don't add up. Like why Hancock like eagles so much? Theory #1: he was so enthralled with the movie "Space Jam", so he was then addicted to the song "Fly like an Eagle" i believe the rest of the song ends like this.... to the see, let the spirits carry me, I wanna FLYYYYYYY. But, Hnacock was 80 years old, you'd think he would be attracted to better songs. I mean that song is amazing, but there are things better. Like David Bowie's "Changes". Theory #2: He was raised by eagles.
I have just one more question, don't you worry. So at the end, he was dyin. Actually, I'm pretty sure he was dead, but all of a sudden he stood up and bounced away. How did that happen? Especially since the girl that gave him power when she was father away, was dead. Perhaps there was something else to the plot that I missed. Sitting in the front row of a large cinema, it seems unbelievable that I would miss something. So, perhaps they forgot to tell me something. Perhaps Warner Brothers could've made pamphlets for the viewers, just so when we have questions they can explain them. Basically, viewers, when you see Hancock, bring a piece of paper so you can write down all the facts and rules to the magic/whatever else can explain Hancock's powers.

Happiness is a Tim Gunn

I think when it comes to shopping and fashion stuff* people only look at what they don't have, as opposed to making what they already have work. Take me, every time I'm watching vh1 or the Fashion network or TLC's "What Not To Wear," I get ideas of what to buy or what I 'need'. Honestly, it's obnoxious because I cannot afford every pair of knee high boots that are chic and cute and don't have too much of a heel to make me look any more taller than I am. And I definitely cannot afford tailoring pants to make them my height even if I can't find a pair of grey skinny jeans ANY WHERE. But besides the basics, there are the obnoxious buys that you love but you will probably only wear with one outfit or one color because it's either UBER ridiculous or just odd. I love those little things, or those shirts that are "one of a kind", but as a pratical person I must admit it's not always a Brilliant buy. BUT THAT'S WHAT I HATE!! especially when you're broke, like me. But, here's where Tim Gunn fits in; his catch phrase: "Make it Work" clearly comes into play. Revive the old and make it work with the new.

Just Two Minutes Ago

So my dad came into my room to ask if I wanted to keep a picture of me and him at my 1st grade birthday party. Sure, I could have said yes and put in my closet or back in the attic where I had thrown it before. But instead, I said no. I apologized for it, but honestly, I don't want to remember the time where I hated showering, picked my nose, cried over spilled drinks (which is exactly what went down at that costume party all over my pink dress), and believed what everyone said. I don't the damn picture because I don't want to reminisce on something I hated the first time. This, I'm sure is distastefully cheesy, but I'll spit it out anyways: if you look back, nostalgically, too often or too much then it's over. The part in time where you lived for the future shouldn't have to be remembered because one should always look forward. Well, at least try to.

What Makes Something Funny?

I'm attempting a construction of a play for school, and I'm so lost. How do you know if something is funny? I don't want to sound like I'm trying too hard to be funny, but I don't want it to be dramatic because that means it will be over dramtic and sappy. sorry. I'm slightly screwed. Kind of odd.

Summer Playlist

1). Music is my Hot Hot Sex: CSS
__ I love the random interval in this song of Spanish. look for it. it will be a nice little scavenger hunt for your summer.
2). Jerk it Out: The Caesars
__ The fist time I heard this song, I was virtually snowboarding down Garibaldi in SSX Tricky for PS2. What defines summer better than free time to play some vids? There's this DJ in the game that narrates, and whenever you do a really good trick he says "Call yo momma in the room and tell her how good you are" and "Funky dog Maneuver!"
3). D.A.N.C.E: Justice
__ Apparently this band is really religious. Ironically, I think they're pretty good, so check em' out.
4). Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me: The Pipettes
__ This reminds me of Justice (the band I just mentioned, not like Justice League or something)
5). Shut Up and Let Me Go: The Ting Tings
__ this is the best song! It's so hard to listen to and not move! boy, i would hate being paralyzed for this very reason. Once you listen to it, you, too, will hold the wisdom, young padawons.
6). A Million Ways: Ok. Go.
__ Whatever happened to these guys? They weren't half bad. In fact they had a few funky dog maneuvers
7). When did your heart go missing?: Rooney
__ The lead singer to Rooney was the brother to Lily and real boyfriend in Princess Diaries. So put that up your pipes for future smoking.
8). Don't you Evah: Spoon
__ Well, I basically love spoon. I love the chill beat to their songs. God, I just LOVE THIS SONG!
9). Pumpkin Soup: kate Nash
__ Basically, this song reminds me of the beginning of Grease when Sandy and Danny just makeout and all that jazz all the time for fun. Perfect summer movie, well the first 15 minutes of it, after it's just million headaches.
10). Gone Daddy Gone: Gnarls Barkley
__ Saw them in concert. they dressed up like Spartans with the hats, armor and togas. They were awesome! Their new CD Odd Couple is ballin.
11). Higher Ground: Stevie Wonder
__ Stevie needs no introduction.
12). Valerie: Mark Ronson&Amy Winehouse
__ Say what you want about Amy Winehouse, but she is an amazing singer. This song is a beacon of her talent, basically.
13). Get Me Bodied (remix): Beyoncé
__ What's better than a song by Beyoncé that I don't understand?
14). Gettin Jiggy With it: Will Smith
__ When I first heard this song, I thought he was saying "Gettin' chiki-wiker." I was only eight or so when i heard it then, so my neighbor, sister and I made this fort out of pillows and mats. We named it Chiki-wicker.
15). Homecoming: Kanye West
__ I hate his attitude, but I love his music. I like the piano from Chris Matthews from Coldplay in this song.
16). Under Pressure: Queen & David Bowie
__ My Sister and I blasted this song like every Friday driving home from school. It was great.
