Movie Fanatic

I love movies. I think I may even be addicted to going to the movies. I think movies are so amazing, well some. I guess I'll just recommend some to you guys in this post. First, an old one, The Shawshank Redemption. That movies is the best. It's pretty old so you may have already seen it but if you haven't definitely check it out. Second, a cartoon, because we all love cartoons! Despicable Me is one of the cutest animated films ever. It's also one of my favorite movies so I guess I'm a little bias there. lol. Third, A Walk To Remember with Shane West and Mandy Moore. I love this movie and I think it is way better than The Notebook. Yes, I said it. It's better than The Notebook. It has such an amazing story, it's great! Okay, so I'm done with the old movies. How about some that just came out recently. Now You See Me was a pretty good movie but since it came out the same night as After Earth and if I had to choose I would see After Earth. I of course saw both in one night but... After Earth. I'm a girl that is really into superhero movies so....Iron Man 3 for sure is a great one. Man of Steel surprisingly really good. Before I went to go see it I thought it wasn't going to be that good but I was definitely wrong. So if you haven't seen Man of Steel, go see it! Lastly and this was also the last movie I've seen is World War Z. It was really cool and I loved the actors. Not because Brad Pitt is hot but the cast's acting skills. Well that is it for now. Maybe I'll do a Movie Fanatic 2 next month or something. We'll see...

Bands/Musicians/Artist

Concerts are fun and amazing but do you ever feel like it's not enough? Well I love concerts but when you go to a concert is it because you want to hear the music or see the face on the stage? For me it's mostly the music because I'm really into lyrics and the meaning of songs. I found that girls that go to a concert for just the face, leave unsatisfied. They go because they want to meet the person but sometimes that isn't likely. So you pay all that money to go to this show and don't get the chance to meet them and then leave unhappy. Is that really worth it? Why not save the money and get something that you love and can remember it as a great thing. I think bands or musicians love it when their fans like their music not just the looks. For me if I was a musician writing the songs and performing them for my fans I would want them to listen to the song and hear the lyrics I'm singing and really try to understand the song that will mean a lot to me if I wrote it. It's a lot more fulfilling to think that most of those fans out there are here for my music and not just the way I look. For bands and musicians like One Direction and Justin Bieber I would think they like it better to have fans that listen to the music they sing and not just drool over their face. Of course it's nice to hear from their fans that they look handsome or sexy or whatever weird compliment their fans can think of. lol. Music has always been an important part of my life. It's my passion. I just want to end this post with a quote from The Wanted's Nathan Sykes: 

"The songs I write that mean the most are the songs that hurt to sing"

I think this quote is amazing. Speaking of The Wanted their single "Walks Like Rihanna" is out now in the UK and Ireland so if you're in any of those places go get it. It's pretty good.

Birthdays

I'm born on the fourth of July and I was going to have a birthday party but I had a conversation with my sister and she thought that because I'm turning 20 I shouldn't have a party with my family but with just friends. I was thinking it didn't matter what age I was turning but celebrating a day that I feel is important with my family AND friends would be a good idea. So it ended with me not having a party at all but just celebrating with my sisters and mom. My question is how many of you think that what age you turn matters to have a party or not. I mean elderly people that turn 80 have parties with family and friends, is that so wrong? I just don't understand why what age you turn matters. The day you are born is a very important date and I think it is important to celebrate however you want to. I'm not mad or upset that I'm not having a party I actually think it would be less stressful. I think having my close family is enough maybe just a nice little dinner would be great. This was just a little rant but most of these post are, aren't they? Well I hope you have a good day :)

So that is some of the things on my bucket list. I recently thought of these and I would really like to start making some of them come true. I know some are a little to far fetched but isn't that the reason we want it because it's hard to get. I like writing things down and crossing them off, it makes me feel accomplished. I can't wait to cross one of these off! I hope everyone starts to write a bucket list so you can do things in your life and feel accomplished. I decided to write a bucket list because I want something on paper that reminds me to enjoy life and do the things that I want and not what others want. I don't want to get any older and realize that I never did the things that I've always wanted to do. So hopefully you guys go and do the same. Live life and enjoy every moment you can.  

Paradise Fears

Paradise Fears is a band made up of 6 members from Vermillion, South Dakota. I met them when they didn't have much fans and just a couple songs. They grew and released an album called Yours Truly that I own and love. They tour and do amazing shows and I know this because I've been to two of them. Now they just released an E.P. that they are really proud of and so am I. It's called Battle Scars and it is truly amazing. All I have to say is they are truly an amazing, down to earth band and people really need to check this new E.P. out. Get it on itunes or their website. Just listen to it because it is really good. Listen to every word. They are a band that does everything on their own and for them to write an E.P. like this is AMAZING! True talent is what they are to me. I'm glad I get this chance to promote them because I think they deserve attention. So go to the links below you won't regret it.

Marriage

So I went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago and it got me thinking. I believe marriage is a beautiful thing even though my parents got divorced years ago. Marriage is two people that believe they can tolerate each other for the rest of their lives and have children together and just be together forever because they truly love each other. So me being a single 19 year old, I asked my younger sister if she thought I should be looking for someone to date and eventually get married because I'm going to be 20 soon. She said yes. Well I don't think I have to sign up for match.com or anything or even go out more to find someone, but she did. I asked her why she thought that way and she told me that because society expects women to be married and have children before 35. I laughed at her and moved on with our day but now that I'm just sitting here writing this it really bothers me that she thinks that way. Yes women has the clock ticking to have kids but shouldn't finding the right man come first. I mean we shouldn't just marry the first guy that proposes because we're afraid of not being able to have kids. Marrying a person is not a joke you should completely love him and be willing to live the rest of your life with him. Society shouldn't matter to you. You make your own choices and who and when you get married is not up to society, it's up to you. Heck, society thinks a 72 hour marriage is okay but it's not. Follow your heart and marry the person you love. If you think differently, I would love for you to leave me a comment and let me know what you think. :)
