INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS (Sound good?!?!)

OK, so I feel like I have to confess something -
and here it goes....

I HAVEN'T SEEN ALL THE FILMS THAT ARE UP
FOR OSCARS THIS YEAR (Enter horror music)

Now, since I am being HONEST I will say
that I LOVE to watch the OSCARS for the
FASHIONS but sitting clueless to the
work that is nominated? Well,
that's just not cute.

So I am rectifying this - I just watched:

"INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS"

The whole cast is amazing.

BRAD PITT is PERFECT

CHRISTOPH WALTZ is mesmerizing.

QUENTIN TARANTINO is just an artist plain and simple.

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS was a refreshing movie experience
- the time just flew by - and at the pictures end I was left to
ponder my own humanity - yeah that's right - when I felt
joy-joy feelings of watching The Nazi's burn to their death the
old adage "two wrongs don't make a right"
came to mind. And while the credits rolled I realized that
not only was I thoroughly entertained by
this movie, I was transported into a my own
moral dilemma.

QUENTIN is an artist - did I say that already????

3 movies down - 7 more to go.

Peaks and Valleys

You've all heard the old adage, "Life is about Peaks and Valleys." Its origin is unclear but we've all heard it. It's an emotional pick me up. A motivator to keep going. I know I’ve said some derivation of it to a friend when they've needed comfort AND admittedly at times the person I’m telling it to is myself. There are different variations like: “Life ebbs and flows” “What goes up must come down” "Highs and lows"  "To and fro" "Good and bad times"  Because I'm a visual person I like the image that is created with “Peaks” and “Valleys” P eAKS are by definition the highest point. I like thinking of the summit of a mountain. Its symbolic of the times when I'm feeling positive and on top of the world. When everything I do is working. These are the "wins" in our liv es, the "high" times BUT we can not surviv e at this altitude for v ery long because a

Forgiveness

Image
Some of you may not know this but my father was murdered, he was killed when I was still a child. I think this is one of the reasons why I find myself drawn to real life CSI shows on TV and most news stories involving homicide and our legal system. Recently, I came across one story that is a truly inspiring example of forgiveness. The story revovles around the Whitaker family. The family consists of parents Patricia and Kent and their two son's, Kevin and Thomas. In Sugarville, Texas on December 10, 2003 the family was celebrating Thomas' college graduation from Sam Houston State University. Kent and Patricia had given their son a Rolex as a graduation present and the whole family went out to dinner. After dinner the family came home and upon entering the home they were each shot by a gunman who had been laying in wait for the family. Kevin Whitaker was pronounced dead at the scene, and Patricia and Kent were airlifted to a nearby hospital. Patricia subsequently died

Gunshots and Confusion. What could have happened but didn't.

Have you ever imagined what you would do if you came face to face with a gunman? Well, I have and the scenario in my mind usually ended with me ducking for cover. The real-life version however was completely different. What should have been an uneventful stroll down the street turned into a chaotic, sad, and yet life affirming event. Last Friday was to be the beginning of a celebration-filled weekend for me and I couldn't wait to get the party started. Friday night was going to be a fun, small, surprise party that I had arranged for my sister-friend and Saturday my husband and I were going to celebrate our wedding anniversary.  The clock on my dashboard read 3:05, I wasn't finished shopping for these two very special people and at this moment time was not on my side. INTUITION. THANK GOD I LISTENED. I live in Studio City and absolutely love shopping at the stores in my neighborhood but not the traffic. I have a tried and true way of navigating around it, by parking
