Angelina Jolie Nightline Interview: In the Land of... →
“This is our generation’s war. … this was, you know, the worst genocide since World War II in Europe,” she said. “It was— ‘what were we all doing?’ And ‘did we do enough’ and ‘why do we not speak about this enough’ and ‘why I don’t know enough about this?’ And so I wanted to learn. I felt a responsibility to...

Land of Blood & Honey
here’s what i think: before the movie makes its debut, before the criticism
Angelina Jolie took a great risk in making and writing this movie about a topic that is, to this day, unresolved and very sensitive. If anything, she will receive the most critique from the people of the Balkan themselves due to their assumption/perception of political correctness. I think she is amazing for...

Photography is an art form, my camera is the paintbrush and my perspective a blank canvas inspired by my vision. With my camera strapped tightly around my neck, I live for priceless, candid moments and sharing my vision at the click of a button, and the satisfying sound of the shutter release.
Photography is an ongoing learning experience for me. Not too long ago I picked up the hobby shooting...

Guilty
“According to this perspective, people who are more genetically prone to speech anxiety tend to have personalities that cause them to be uncomfortable in many social situations. For example, they tend to be preoccupied with themselves and their own thoughts, often having a rich imagination and enjoying activities on their own. They also tend to exhibit anxiety, low self esteem, shyness,...

“Prevention often goes unappreciated. When people do not realize they might otherwise be susceptible to a disease, they feel no urge to thank some for a vaccination or other preventative measure, much less adopt that person’s religious beliefs. People rarely reflect on the fact that they have not had to deal with smallpox, TB, diptheria, rabies or other controlled maladies in their...

This is our decision, to live fast and die young.We’ve got the vision, now let’s have some fun.Yeah, it’s overwhelming, but what else can we do.Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute I’ll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms

the strenuous life
We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious effort; the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort. Freedom from effort in the present...

“I, like being on my own. I think relationships are messy and people’s feelings get hurt. Who needs it? We’re young, we live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world; might as well have fun while we can and, save the serious stuff for later.”

Into the Wild
you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships. God’s place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things.

How many lives do we live? How many times do we die? They say we all lose 21 grams… at the exact moment of our death. Everyone. And how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost? When do we lose 21 grams? How much goes with them? How much is gained? How much is gained? Twenty-one grams. The weight of a stack of five nickels. The weight of a hummingbird. A chocolate bar. How much did 21 grams...

7th grade with Jennifer
wearing our hair in “loops” with two braids. stuffing our shoes with socks. pimping out overalls by constricting our legs in rubber bands to make capris out of them. 50 cent hot cheetos considered our lunch. hanging out in the bathroom. worrying about getting a B instead of an A on our report card. my banana outfit i was embarrassed to walk around in. our matching limited too outfits....

the sun illuminates everything. it just gives a fresher and more positive perspective on everything. and although i don’t get to enjoy the sun as much as I would this week, driving home and basking in the sun’s glorious warmth will do for now, with the radio turned up loud, and me singing even louder.
i ran 3 miles after work today. a total of 7 miles in the last three days. i like...
