A Woodstock Nation


I have been sooooooo pumped for "Taking Woodstock" to come out, but somehow, I failed to realize that it is coming out Friday. FRIDAY? You know what that means.... midnight showing dressed in my finest hippie attire. I'm so excited for this movie. I don't know what it is, but for the longest time, I have had a strange obsession with Woodstock. It probably stems from the fact that my mom wishes she would have been there, so she's been living vicariously through me, telling me as much as she can about the magical time that was the 60's. I guess it's just the fact that people seemed to have a passion for live that is rarely found these days and the fact that that many young people could come together of their own accord and celebrate peacefully. I mean, nowadays you can't even get ten teenagers to twentysomethings in a room together with out world war 3 errupting. I recently watched a documentary on Woodstock and it just seemed like such a magical time. I would give anything to have been a part of it (minus the drug usage).
Also, I cannot go without mentioning Emile Hirsch being in the movie. I love him so much. I've only seen two of his movies, but two is plenty for me to appreciate his greatness. His role in "Into the Wild", amazing. His role in "Milk" adorably great, even with a physically image quite similar to Napoleon Dynamite. He's just so adorable and so talented. So, to tide myself and you readers over until Friday, here is a (for lack of a better word and a better vocabulary) adorable picture of Emile and the official "Taking Woodstock" trailer.

Enjoy !



Oh How I Love Incubus!

I saw Incubus in concert at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion in the Woodlands. The show was completely amazing. It didn't start out as so, since it was postponed due to weather, thus we were completely drenched in that weather waiting for the concert to start. But once we got into the Pavillion, things got better. Even though we were surrounded by smokers and pot heads, we still had a great time. The audience was amazing. You could tell from the expressions on the band members faces. I've never heard an audience as loud and enthusiastic. It was exactly what I needed after the less than stellar week I have had. Just thought I'd share that with you. I would write more, but I didn't get home until 1:30 am, so my energy is slightly lagging today. Anywho, God Bless!

Questions and Answers Stemming From Boredom

I'm so effing bored! Thus, this blog.
Is it wrong that my sleeping schedule is ruled by Chelsea Lately and E! News? Probably.
Is it gross that I keep wearing the same YMCA shirt to work even though it is covered in baby slobber and throw up? Probably.
Is it wrong that I watched the new episodes of John & Kate Plus 8 even though I hate them? Probably.
Is it wrong that I got a Blizzard at Dairy Queen last night just because I was angry with my father?
Is it sad that I'm thinking about rescheduling my orthodontist appointment because I don't want to wake up that early tomorrow?
These are the questions plaguing my mind this day.
I'm so ready to go to LA. My parents think that it is going to be horrible and that I am going to become a Satan worshiper, or worse, a Scientologist. My dad keeps meeting random people that tell him how much the hate LA and how shocking it is that my parents are letting me go there. I keep meeting church members who love it there and think it's going to be the best experience of my life. All of my prayers have been answered, telling me that going to AMDA is what I'm suppose to do. I just have a feeling that something great is going to come out of this. Either I am going to become famous and make a difference in the world, or I am going to make a difference for the better in on person's life. Either way, it will be worth it. I can't wait to prove everyone wrong.
