Alright, after my last post, I thought that maybe we should take a brief (or a short and sweet) moment to talk about something a little more positive.
The new movie American Sniper has captured the eyes of millions of people within it's first opening week. Not only that but they have received over 90.2 million dollars just within this opening week. How incredible is that?! Now, while I have never seen the movie, I have heard so many amazing things about it ( as I'm sure you can imagine). For me, I love movies about soldiers and the war, there are so many things we can learn and take away from them, plus they are just plain entertaining! In this case, I hope to soon find time to see the movie. I guess it was a good idea not to see it super early anyways, I'm sure it was a hassle to find tickets that weren't already for shows that were sold out and also good movie theatre spots. But what about you? If you were daring enough to go within the first viewings of the movie, what did you think? Comment in the box below and share your thoughts! Or don't, thats cool too, I don't blame you.

Oblivion
Once again the ever so famous Kate Middleton is pregnant with baby number two! I mean, as if the first one wasn't perfect enough. My question though is why is America so obsessed? Sure she is an amazing person with great morals and incredible values to lead the world with, but she seems to appear more in American magazines than president Obama does.
Nw don't get me wrong, I am in love with Kate Middleton and would probably chose her over president Obama any day to be the symbol of America, but she isn't. Lately magazines have been full of pictures of her new adorable baby (which by the way was gifted a FREAKING BOAT from one of the royal families close friends) and images of Kate and Williams life since having him have been, but what about all the news thats affecting America? Is it hidden in the shadows some where? But wait now Kate is pregnant with baby number two! Here come more pictures in the magazines with her new baby bump plastered on the front page! But where in the world is the big news about how America is supposedly going to be attacked on our home land, OUR SOIL PEOPLE. Lets not forget how terrible 9/11 struck us!
Like I said, don't get me wrong I think William and Kate's new baby is adorable and it is awesome she is yet again pregnant with her second child who will one day rule England, but that is England guys, we are in America! And when the day comes that we get a even more serious threat or something pops up somehow here, Kate Middleton (all the way over in England) is not going to save us. Maybe this sounds a little overreactive now, but is it going to when something actually happens! We need to be thinking about ourselves here! We are setting ourselves up every single time something major happens and we ignore it. A threat? Eh, government will take care of it, security, someone. We set ourselves up every time we pick up a magazine with the new Bachelor episode featured and leave the major news buried in the dust. How do you know somethings not going to happen to you!? Sure the government is good at their jobs but they can't read people's minds! So what happens when you, an innocent person that has nothing to do with the situation (this has happened plant of times) gets attacked? Are you going to know what's going on? Who to call? What to do? Or are you going to be thinking about the new baby of England?
We have the ability to protect ourselves, we just aren't taking action, we are ignoring it to realize the more happy things in life. But what happens when a disaster strikes? Will America's next top model be right there ready to protect you? I think not.

Nicki Minaj Appreciation
I was sitting on the couch this morning and came upon a Nicki Minaj movie, so i started watching it. The truth is that (before I had watched this) I never really thought much of her, just that she is another rapper that uses a an excessive amount of cuss words in her songs. After i saw a portion of the movie though, I had a totally different perspective on her. If you really listen to a rappers songs, most of the time they speak so much truth. What you hardly realize though is the amount of pain a lot of artists have to go through to really make a song that digs deep. They not only have to go through a a situation to be furmilur with it, but they have to relive it, everywhere. In the recording studio, every time they preform it, when they write it! So sure they might be 3 minute songs that we enjoy listening to whenever we have something in our lives that can relate or whenever we need a good cry, but not for these artists. Nicki Minaj in particular.
In her movie, Minaj pointed out the fact that her new and recent album she put out caused a huge a roller coaster of emotions in her life. What's beautiful about this album as a whole is that she stated that when making the tracks, she never really meant for it to turn out to be such an emotional spin, it just ended up that way. She not only said that, nut she sort of took her viewers on a little bit of a journey throughout her life, taking the back to her old town and old friends. Just in that it's really easy to realize that these songs aren'e just a way to entertain fans, it's a way to tell her story in the most plausible way possible.
All of this in itself really brought out the true meaning behind not only Nicki Minaj's music, but every singer/song writer out there. Not only that, but it teaches you just how much these people (ordinary, just like us) have to give up to follow their dreams. It's easier to see it in writing, but to get a glimpse of what it really is in a movie, is heartbreaking. All in all all of these key points made me really earn respect not only for Minaj, but every other singer that makes sacrifices and gives up so much to entertain people al over the world.
