The Patriot

Oddly enough the Revolutionary War has never been a popular war that has been interpreted into mainstream media culture, as compared to the Civil War or WWII. And yet, it's the most important war that has ever been fought in America's history. Its victory set the foundation of every free Western  civilization since then. As a Virginian (but not a southerner, there's a difference) I live 90 min. away from Colonial Williamsburg, which is one of the primary cities of America's Independence. Inspired by numerous different war heroes, The Patriot takes the confusing aspects of the Revolutionary War and condenses them into the passionate journey of a man who must confront the sins of his past to preserve the freedom of his future. 

Happy Independence Day!

Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all,—

By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.

The Mummy (1999)

 The Mummy is one of those film franchises I had always heard of, but never showed any interest in seeing. Primarily because I thought they were horror. Dear God was I wrong! These movies (well, I've only seen the first two, known as the Rachel Weisz films), are so delightfully stupid and crazy, that they are an absolute comfort watch. I mean Brendan Fraser alone playing a hybrid mix of Allan Quatermain and Indiana Jones is reason enough to watch, plus our lone heroine is...A LIBRARIAN! *Movie joke* Movie comedies nowadays are so cringey and stupid that they're just unbearable. However, The Mummy manages to balance just enough modern day camp, with the treasure seeking adventure, the Ancient Egyptian history, and the obvious eventual romance between Rick and Evie, that you can just see them as fun.

Happy 10 Years!

I can't believe it!

10 years online! This site has been an absolute sanctuary and safe-hold for me during both good times and bad. So much inspiration, creativity, fangirling, reviews, commentaries, politics, pop culture and whatever else came to mind at the moment!

However, I wouldn't have gotten far if not for the people who have befriended, followed and supported me for so long.

This post is for all of you!!

Defending Daughters Pt. 2

I'm venting because I'm so over this sexist bullshit

 I wrote about this last year. It's a proven fact that boys are the preferred gender in America:

When People Just Need to Stop Talking

I can't begin to tell you how often I get remarks like this from people. And I am over it.

It's bad enough I have to wake up in the middle of the night to prepare for work. Then people who come in (that I get up so early in the morning for, so that they can access to the facility and all their needs are accommodated) have the alright audacity to complain about my exhausted appearance. I have told members over and over again that I'm not a morning person, however, that doesn't seem to sit well with them.
