“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.” -E.E. Cummings

As I Began to Love Myself – Self Love Poem by Charlie Chaplin Lana Del Rey will be performing at the Cosmopolitan April 11. Tickets are on sale Feb. 14 for $35!!! Now I am not as bummed for not being able to see her at Coachella. XD Link to buy tickets at Cosmopolitan. Lana Del Rey Concert As each day goes by, I just find something new to be happy about. Thank you. Thank you for everything. I hope everyone in this world finds happiness, because nobody deserves to be without it. We're all living on this rock together for a short period of time, may as well make the best of it. Right!? "There's no greatness without simplicity, kindness, and truthfulness". - Leo Tolstoy Recent response to my last post: Comparing falling movie scenes with 9/11 is completely and utterly inappropriate, especially since the anniversary has just passed. Posting a video as to "compare" the two is beyond completely inappropriate as well, and is simply tasteless. Movies are fantastic outlets for creative interpretation, and as we all know, people interpret things millions of different ways on a daily basis...but what you have done is almost sickening. "One person's tragedy is another person's excitement." This may be true, but what a sick and offensive way to show it. First off, that's awesome people actually read my blog! Second, I'd like to apologize for offending anyone including the one who responded to my post. I tend to not elaborate on my thought processes for "mixing" anything together, or as it would seem I was "comparing". But I will not lie, I did think of 9/11 in my mind when I viewed the montage falling movie scenes. These past several weeks, I was introduced to something called "Stanislavski's system" which is a popular method of acting based on believable emotion. From that, I started to experiment from a lesson I learned in my class called the "Meisner Technique" which I discovered triggers complex emotional responses from each individual. (Certain words are more personal to some than others.) I don't intend to be malicious, or harm anyone when I express what I am thinking,.especially in my own personal blog. I feel sad and disgusted just like everyone else when I am reminded of 9/11. I would rather be honest and viewed as a sick fuck to society than have to lie that everything in this world is okay. The truth of the matter is, we're living in a fucked up world that is worse than what goes on in the movies. So yeah! Call me crazy when I say that I wish life was more like the movies! I could escape to a more truthful life free of any lies, and corruption. Also for the quote, you clearly misinterpreted the point of it completely. Perhaps, you thought it meant a person becomes happy and celebrates when another person is miserable. It could also mean that people sympathize or empathize for one another, because they can relate to the experience. I think it is a very positive quote that isn't sick or intended to harm. Again, sorry for hurting you. Today was interesting, my friends gave me the opportunity to learn from a personal trainer for boxing. (Very thankful!) While he was coaching me, I got so many compliments from him but his eyes looked so genuine. My friend was having so much difficulty learning the basics, but maybe fighting just comes natural for me. I know I am not very good at a lot of things, but I do know how to pay attention and listen. He said I was a very fast learner, and he had me move up to do more workouts like speed bag, heavy bag, double end bag, and Bob. (I love punching Bob!) I must say that it is more technical and difficult than it looks. After constant practice, I found my rhythm and felt less frustrated. Learning the science of boxing has really improved my striking. I finally have a proper stance to add to my collection! Although, I am a firm believer in flowing like water. |
