Straight Outta Compton, And Into My Feels

Straight Outta Compton was one of the best movies!  I knew it was going to be good, because I like that kind of music, and I love true stories, and I like Ice Cube and Dr Dre.  I really wanted to know their story, and this movie over exceeded my expectations. I wasn't expecting it to be that good.  I knew …

This Life

Today I will fill my life with things that I love, and have a positive attitude towards the things I don't. Life is too short to let unhappy people bring you down.  Life is too short to let what they say, dictate how you feel about yourself.  Life is too short to not do what you've …

Happy Birthday, Me!

Yes, that's right, this week's blog post ends up on my birthday.  Exciting, isn't it?  I thought so. Why don't I share with you what Mother and I did last week? We went to Alexandria, VA to see a parade with bagpipes.  Mom loves bagpipes. So then, we took a ten minute an hour drive …

Book Review: ‘The Confession’ by Robert Whitlow

In Holt Douglas's line of work, there's nothing sweeter than a confession of guilt. Assistant D.A. Holt Douglas makes his living exposing lies and sending criminals to jail in Ashley County, Georgia. His job is always easier when defendants, instead of remaining silent, blame someone else or try to excuse their actions. With a confession …

Book Review: ‘The Romance Of Religion’ by Dwight Longenecker

  I don't know where to begin with this book. It's good, there are many things that he writes that would be great quotes. There's a lot of alliteration, and a lot to take in. I found myself nodding at a lot of the things he said, but I also found myself putting it down …

The Year Of The Book: How To Use The Power In Your Hands

21 Movies To Look Forward To In 2014 If you take a look at this list, books dominate the big screen. Mom's reason? "Hollywood is running out of ideas. The script is already right there for them." And she's right. What does this mean for writers? Well I'll tell ya: we can take over the …

Book Review: ‘Forgiveness’ by Matthew West

Matthew West has always been a story-teller, through music though.  "Next Thing You Know," off of his History album, is a story about himself.  But for his Into The Light album, he decided to go a different route. He had to have surgery that kept him silent for a year.  A singer who had to keep quiet...that's rough.  But …

My Own Zelda Lifestyle

(This blog post is inspired by this article) And that's not all!  Like I said, I'm missing my Skyward Sword poster (that I just found).  I also have Hyrule Historia, toys of Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf.  I have a sweat band, the Ocarina of Time soundtrack, and of course, Twilight Symphony.  I also have two …

In Memoriam (But Not Of Zombies)

Wednesday morning, I put on my purple pants, because Grandma liked them, and I grabbed a photo book and picture frame, while Mom grabbed a bag and, well, she grabbed Grandma.  It was the day of her memorial, for her church family.  In short, it was good.  People came, told some stories, said they'd miss …
