His website is really cool, wefeelfine.org
But today I looked at it, being Valentine's Day, and was sadly disappointed at the number of people who feel "loved" in the world today.   The website shows how the world is feeling on a daily basis, it's very interesting.

movies i've enjoyed lately.

I have a strong interest in film, I've taken many film classes and I appreciate good cinematography. But I also love a good funny movie in a dark theater.

I saw The King's Speech a few weeks back, one of the most wonderful movies I have ever seen. It was so inspiring, interesting, and well made.

Today I saw No Strings Attached and I've got to say I loved it. This movie is hilarious. Please go see it, seriously. The characters are hilarious, it was the best comedy I've seen in a really long time.

personal life philosophy

"Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself."

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness." -Friedrich Nietzsche

To me this quote can be applied to anything. I am a firm believer in karma and reason in the universe. Chaos constantly surrounds us, yet there is reason behind every action.  There is a purpose for each and every one of us.

Just Breathe

What I like and feel like today: 

"Even after all this time the sun never says to the Earth 'you owe me'. Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky." -Hafiz

This will be my next craft!!!

I love these, they are gorgeous and so simple to make!

If you sit back and think, just breathe, the world gets a whole lot simpler.  My most recent revelation (and its been a long process) is that arguing and not getting along with those around you is a waste of time and a lot of unneeded stress.  I want to put out nothing but good energy from now on, life is a lot more enjoyable without conflict. Even when you can feel some annoyance building up inside of you, focus on the good things.  All people are different and there are always things about certain people that will bother me, but instead of focusing on those things, I'd prefer to focus on their qualities that I enjoy!  The little things that bother me don't matter in the long run.  Transferring schools and completely starting over was what finally made me realize that we don't have much time here, and the time we do have ought to be spent being happy and being around people who bring out the best in each other. 

A memorial tattoo for my grandfather, the best role model I could have ever asked for. I got this a little over 6 months ago. I LOVE TATTOOS!!!
