I Wish I Could Do This!

Wow.

There's Always Someone...

I love you iTunes. You always know what I want/need music-wise. Oh wait. That's cause I pump you full of music that I love. But tonight, you did really well. I turned you on, and hit play. This is what you gave me:

This song just makes me happy. Enjoy!

Don't Become Numb.

I saw this video and had to share it. I have situations in my life that have made me feel excruciatingly vulnerable and hurt. For a long time, I struggled to feel like I was worthy of great things. Today, I feel happy and grateful, and work hard to open myself to the beauty and joy the world has to offer. I may not be perfect, but I am enough. So are you. Open your hearts to all the possibilities.

We must not become numb. We must let ourselves be seen, love with our whole hearts, and practice gratitude and joy. We are enough.

Video Kick!

So apparently I am on a YouTube video kick. Yesterday I watched a bunch of shorts and figured I would share some of them with you. Here goes!

- I discovered that many of them are eerie or kind of creepy. One example was The Invention of Love. Another example is this one:

Some of them are cuter or funnier. One good example was Out to Play (With a Magic Box). Another is this Pixar one which I have always found funny:

There is a plethora of short films out there: there is every subject and style you could imagine. Let me know if you find anything good!

Book Videos! Sounds Lame But They're Cool. I Swear!

Okay! So my aunt posted this video on my wall and somehow I didn't see it until now. But I checked it out and it was very cool.

See? Pretty cool, right? So then I decided to check out the other video. And they are also all pretty cool. I don't know what this guy does for work that he has time to do all of this but it's pretty crazy!

Some of his videos are just random and funny, like this one:

And other ones are just incredibly cool and I can't believe he spent that much time on them. Like this one:

He has a few more too. The anniversary one for his wife was pretty sweet. Check them out at his YouTube account here!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Right?!

Just a few weeks ago, I had a chat with a friend about how un-self-reliable (Is that a word? Well, if it wasn't, it is now!) our country is becoming. This is a topic that comes up every now and then and it is interesting to see how self-reliant people think we actually are, especially when they think of food.

Today, I went online and saw this video on a friend's wall on Facebook. It was definitely eye-opening to me so I thought I would share it with you. Learn lots!

Things on the Internet.

Okay! So I have found a few things that I absolutely love on the internet lately. And sometimes I make a full post around it, but other things are so random but don't really fit into a blog post. Yet they are too wonderful or fun not to share. So here are a few of them.

- Shakira singing Je l'aime à mourir by Francis Cabrel in Paris. The lyrics are fantastic. I get chills when I think about them.

- Discovered Pinterest. Haven't been on too much yet but it is fun already. Definitely can see myself using it lots in the near future, once I have a bit more time to spare. If anyone wants an invite to check it out, let me know!

- Found a picture of this amazing Tree House on Pinterest. I want one. Please?

- You may also have previous seen this on another blog entry but I am posting it again!

I love The Big Bang Theory!

Okay... So it was only three things plus the one I've already shared. Well, there were only three that I could find again. Not a whole bunch. But these kinds of posts will probably start happening more frequently from now on. Anyways... It is Monday. So here's to another week! Make the best of it!

Ah Memories...

I watched this a few times growing up and for some reason, this is always the scene I remember. I don't know why... From Astérix et Cléopatre, this is Le bain de Cléopatre:

Oh, and I guess this one as well. I used to sing this with dad...

Anyway, just thought I would share!

I loved this song. Now I love it even more.

I was blown away.

Here is the original for it... Still good but not half as cool.

Such. A. Nerd.

Alright folks. I am going to demonstrate to you the extent of my nerdy-ness. As I may have previously mentioned, I am a huge (majorly huge) fan of Disney movies.

I would much rather read this...

than this!

And one of my favourite parts of many of these Disney movies is the music.

You may be thinking "Sure, sure. Every kid loves Disney music." But when I say that I am obsessed, I really mean obsessed. My cousin and I used to sing the songs all throughout recess in elementary school. I consistently get yelled at by my sisters: "Stop singing along! You're so annoying!" My friend and I were once singing "Just Around the River Bend" from Pocahontas so intently while canoeing that we didn't see a rock in our way and capsized.

So I believe that it can be assumed that I know a great majority of the lyrics to many of the songs from a large amount of Disney movies.

Well tonight, while reading Facebook comments, someone continued the song "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast in this way (and I quote): "Little town, made of little people....waking up.. to... Say......" As you might imagine, I freaked. I was so bothered by the mistake that I could not read it again. Also, I desperately wanted to correct it. But I held back and opted for writing a blog post about it instead. Good plan, right?

So did any of you catch the mistake? If not, here is the video. See if you catch it now...

Hope you all found it pretty easily. Here is a hint. It's in the third line of the song.

Well, I think that is enough of my nerdy side for now!

P.S. Also, exciting news! Beauty and the Beast is coming out in 3D very, very soon! Yay!

And there is going to be a short based on Tangled afterwards. Could we ask for anything more?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you have a fun, exciting, and safe New Year's Eve.
