The opposite of love isn’t hate. It’s indifference.

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

The opposite of love isn’t hate. It’s indifference. And if you hate me, that means you still care and we’re still connected and I still have a chance to set you right.

So yesterday

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

hd2If it’s over, let it go
And come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday
I’m just a bird that’s already flown away

Laugh it off, let it go
When you wake up it will seem so yesterday
Haven’t you heard that I’m gonna be okay?

He’s a Samsonite Man

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

akeysHe’s a man so full of style and grace
Any woman would be impressed
Takes a smile and paints it on your face
Makes you feel like you’ve been blessed
Promises things so special
Seems to come right from a song
As soon as you begin to feel secure
Turn around and he is gone

There’s plenty of people who don’t like me

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

dc3There’s plenty of people who don’t like me
But there’s ten times more who love me
And I love myself

Sometimes it gets tough, it gets tough
But I don’t give up, don’t give up
Just take a deep breath
Close my eyes, feel the love
And give a smile :)

Ask Adnan: Dev Patel of Slumdog Millionaire

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

devpatelI know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I can’t help but be enchanted by the cast of Slumdog Millionaire. Did anyone notice Freida Pinto and Dev Patel whenever the movie won an award at Sunday’s Oscars? They just seemed so excited and thrilled to be at something like the Oscars. I feel like you just don’t see that anymore…it was humbling. Here’s some info on the male lead of Slumdog Millionaire, Dev Patel. I’ll update this post when I have more.

Dev Patel was born on April 23, 1990 and is 18 years old.

He was born in London, England.

He is 6′1” tall.

Dev Patel has just signed on to appear as one of the leads in the movie The Last Airbender. It will be directed by M. Night Shyamalan and will be released in 2010. It’s an adventure-family flick, whatever that means.

Dev Patel Quotes:
On Slumdog craziness: All this attention is crazy, I can’t get my head around it all. But I can’t complain. This film has changed my life. The Oscars were unbelievable, I’ve never seen anything like it.

On being made fun in high school for having big ears: I’m proud to have big ears now. I mean, look who’s the most powerful man in the world: Barack Obama. Big ears are in fashion.

I’m obsessed with these kids. Stay humble.

I see sunset in your eyes

I know you’ll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothing’s wrong
But there is no more time for lies
Because I see sunset in your eyes

Britney Spears’ Circus Tour = Magic

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

britney2Every day I find out a little more information about Britney Spears‘ Circus tour (kicks off next week !!!!!!!!!! I’m going to the Atlanta show on 3/5, but am deciding if I should just go to the New Orleans kick-off as well..we’ll see). Anyway, apparently Britney Spears is going to be doing a hell of a lot of high-tech magic tricks such as cutting, transportation, a vansish, splitting boxes, and more… Britney Spears doing magic tricks? HELL YEAH I’M EXCITED.

Here’s what Illusionist Ed Alonzo has to say (he’s been working with her on the tour): Right away, she got into the boxes and into the magic contraptions to learn the stuff, and she’s so excited about this tour and all the elements that are in it. We’re going to be doing the classics of magic but a little high-tech. We’ll be doing a little dissection, transposition, a vanish, an appearance—and if I do a trick she doesn’t just hold the props, she’s actually getting inside the big boxes or I am slicing her up. Some of it’s pretty scary but she gets right in there with no reservations.

So. Excited. Can’t. Breathe.

Today my only class of the day was cancelled

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I only have one class on Tuesday’s and Thursdays this semester. Today I walked to campus (one mile walk at most?) and as I am about to cross the street to go to the business school, I see a girl from one of my classes. I think to myself, “okay she’s just cutting class.” As I cross the street, she tells me class got cancelled… Best news ever.

A couple of things:

1) There is nothing better than class being cancelled when you’re tired (and maybe even if you aren’t tired). There’s just no arguing it.

2) I earned it? I walked to campus damnit.

3) I went to Whole Foods instead. I totally think that place is like Disneyland for some people. No?

Ask Adnan: 2009 Oscar Acceptance Speeches

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Why not?

Dustin Lance Black for Best Original Screenplay:

Oh my God. This was not an easy film to make. First I have to thank name, and name, and all the real life people who shared their stories with me. When I was 13 years old my beautiful mother and my father moved me from a conservative mormon home in San Antonio, Texas to California and I heard the story of Harvey Milk. And it gave me hope, it gave me the hope to live my life, it gave me the hope one day I could live my life as openly as who I am, and then maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married. I want to thank my mom, who has always loved me for who I am even when there was pressure not to. But most of all, if Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he’d want me to say to all the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told they are less than by their churches, by the government, or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of a value. And no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you and that very soon I promise you that you will have equal rights federally across this great nation of ours. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you God for giving us Harvey Milk.

Kate Winslet for Best Actress in a Leading Role:

Okay that fainting thing, Penelope.. I’d be lying if I haven’t made a version of this speech before, I think I was probably eight years old and staring into the bathroom mirror. And this would have been a shampoo bottle. But it’s not a shampoo bottle now. I feel very fortunate to have made it all the way from there to here and I’d like to thank some of the people along the way who had faith in me. My friends and my family, especially my mom and dad. They are in this room somewhere, dad whistle or something because then I’ll know where you are. **Dad whistles very loud** Yesssss. I love him. [She thanks a lot of people here]. There was no division between the cast and crew on this film and that’s what made it so special. To have been surrounded by a remarkable group of people who provided an unbroken chain of support. From name to name, name. From hair and makeup to cinematography. From the art department to the AD’s. And From New York to Berlin. And I’m so lucky to have a wonderful husband and two beautiful children who let me do what I love and who love me for just the way I am. Antony and Sydney, this is for you, this is for both of you. And I want to acknowledge my fellow nominees, these goddesses. I think we all can’t believe we’re in a category with Merrll Streep at all. I’m sorry Merrill, but you have to suck that one up. And just to the Academy, thank you so much, my God, thank you, woowwww.

Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer?

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we’re wired that way. Because without it, I don’t know, maybe we just wouldn’t feel real. What’s that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.
