Secrets of the Heart

After reading Ariana Grande's colorful words for her home country, I felt a need to write this entry. First I did read her apology and I must agree with Mr. Rob Lowe, it was lame. I felt she was more trying to justify what she said than truly being sorry for saying it. Also, her actions make her a bit hypocritical. She talks about promoting healthy eating and the child obesity statistics in our country then I'd also like to point out it's not just your words, Ms. Grande that is offensive but your mannerism. You licked a sugary doughnut, didn't pay for it and now there are allegations that you spit on it. Don't criticize people for what they like. Secondly, obesity is not all due to what the person eats. I have been overweight all my life and trust me, the country is not to blame. It is the officials, parents, and such. Children learn how to eat, what to eat by routine. There are plenty of thin people out there who eat what they shouldn't and still maintain the...

(*Disclaimer: I don't own the images on here. I used images from google.) Taylor Swift Country Artist Breakout year: 2006 Breakout song: "Our Song" Taylor Swift  Pop Artist Crossover Year: 2014 Crossover Album: 1989 I will be the first to admit that I resisted the storm known as Taylor Swift because frankly, I was annoyed by her; not so much her music but her. It was one of those things that you don't know why (aside from her continuous shocked look when she won an award) she annoyed me so much but then I slowly became a fan. Is there a difference between Country Taylor and Pop Taylor? Absolutely. Are we surprised by her crossover into pop music? Of course not. If you listen to her singles up to her final country album, Red , you can hear the transition between the traditional twang of country to the upbeat or "sick beat" of pop. Listen to Taylor's single "Tim McGraw" and then listen to "Trouble." Can you ...

If I Stay Starring Chloe Grace Moretz Release Date: August 22, 2014 If I Stay is an inspirational story about life in all its forms. Death is no the end of life but a form of life. This is what is depicted in the film based off the book by Gayle Forman. Chloe Grace Moretz portrays Mia Hall, a gifted musical artist with a loving family, friends, and boyfriend. She has everything a girl could want. When the film opens up, we find Mia home on a snow day eagerly awaiting a letter from Julliard to see if she got accepted or not. Her family convinces her to take a ride with them, spend the day outside the house with them instead of staying cooped up waiting for the letter. During their family outing, the Hall family get into a fatal car accident. Unaware of what's going on, she frantically searches for her parents and brother until it is brought to light that she is out of her body. She sees herself lying on the ground, unconscious, being attended to by paramedics. Through the f...

In Time Starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried Release Date: October 28, 2011 I attempted to watch this film twice and needless to say, I finally finished it the second time I watched it. So here we go... Justin Timberlake plays Will Salas, a poor boy who lives with is mom and wishes to take her to better places someday. The world is a different place where time has taken the place of paper currency. In other words, in order to pay for something you give minutes, hours, months, even years of your life for things like a cab ride or food. The perk to this crazy way of living is that everyone stops aging at 25. After all, it is everyone's desire to remain young, is it not? Though I find it a little creepy to have a son saying hi to his mother who looks the same age as him though she's older.  Unfortunately, Will's mother (portrayed by Olivia Wilde) dies when her clock literally runs out. She is unable to meet with Will successfully. She leaps into his arms, dea...
