Water For Elephants Movie Review

Water For Elephants was a very interesting movie. It shows the real side of circus life and the allusions behind it. The cruelty it shows with the animals is terrible and August really need to get a grip on his life. Marlene is the contrast character that cares for the animals and doesn't think the world is going to end if the circus dies. Jacob comes along and is the vet for the circus and he sides with Marlene on caring for the animals and mainly Rosie. Rosie is probably the best Character in this movie. Her attitude is so funny and she is so smart. This movie is not one that I would really watch but it was a movie i would watch again.

Marlena's Diary

Dear Diary,
I just don't know what to do anymore. Everything was going fine until that vet joined us. I mean I thought I was truly happy with August. He can be a little violent sometimes but he doesn't know what he is doing. I thought he cared for whats best for me but now that I have seen what it's like to have someone really care for me and want whats best I'm just not too sure. It's not just me he cares for either! That stupid vet cares for whats best for the animals too which makes him even more irresistible! I am getting sick and tired of August being so selfish and not treating the animals like he is suppose to. I really don't know whats going to happen but all I know is that I better stay away from Jacob or August might not have a wife or a vet anymore and I won't have a job or a home.

IT's A Circus!

College football games are like a modern day circus. People love the excitement it brings. They come for the food which would consist of tailgates and concession stands. They come for the prizes. To see who is holding the winning ticket for the 50/50.people come for entertainment. The entertainment may not have exotic animals but there are always drunk animals yelling and screaming and getting into fights that are pretty funny. Most of all they people come to see the performers, the players. they come to watch the talent among the athletes on the field. Whether it is being able to make that long pass for a touchdown or being able to run the ball at lightning speed the people always enjoy College ball.

Idea of FG!

It doesn't take a smart guy to go far in life. I think Groom was trying to tell people that the dumb people in life aren't always as dumb as they may seem and that if you let other people choose your path it may not always end well.even though you may not have good social cues or people call you an idiot and get put int the crazy house doesn't mean you aren't smart its just that you are lacking in a different area, people need to understand that idiots are real people too!

Dear Diary

Forest finally found me. I thought he was dead I mean who just shows up after being MIA for four years! I just about pooped my pants when I heard that voice say my sandwich was looking good. So now forest and Dan have been living with me for a few days and Forest has this insane idea that he is going to be a wrestler. I don't know if i like that idea and I don't know if I like this guy mike either. I mean he is making Forest wear a diaper for heavens sake. Couldn't he have thought about a different character for Forest to be like OH I don't know maybe a lion or something more fierce. I would much rather see forest with a mane and a tail than in a diaper and a dunce hat. I don't know I guess we will just have to see how it goes and pray Forest doesn't hurt too many people.Until next time.

A World Full Of Hurt

I still remember from ten years ago coming out into the living room and watching the towers come crashing down. I would hate to say that I really didn't understand at the time what was happening but then my mom told me I burst into tears so scared that the bad men would find us and blow us up. I can not imagine what the families that lost their loved ones in this event must have been going through. I have family members that were in the Navy but have retired now so it really hasn't struck me that there could have been a chance that they may not be here today. I honestly could say I don't know what I would do without them standing by my side. So to see that many people die that day and the many people that have gone off to war because of this event and have died is tragic. Some of them were parents of newborns, never to be able to hold their child in their arms and the child never to meet their dad. Infants not knowing the last image they may have of their mother and father is of them getting on a plane to go off to war. Grandparents that have never been met and widows that never got the chance to even start a family. It affects everyone in some way or another.

Play Performance

Q: How was this Shakespear play "How You Like It" for you?

A: It was good. we all got  some great laughs from it.

Q: Did you understand what was going on?

A: At first it was hard because I am not used to how they talk but seeing the actions and following what they did helped.

Q:What did you think of the stage fight?

A: well I know it was fake but for being fake I thought it was pretty awesome with all the flips and stuff that they could do.

Q: Do you think all the actors played their part well?

A: Yes I think they all did a good job. Especially the girl that played as part of a guy. She put off the guy vibe pretty well.

Q: Did you ever think Orlando was going to find out she was not a guy?

A: Yeah I though he would find out when she was telling him to "woo" her.

Q: Would you like to see them perform again.

A: Yes it would be awesome.

The Dance of Shame

Lets go to the bar and have a drink Bob suggests. I agree that it would be a good idea after a long day of fishing. As we are driving down the street we come to a stop sign. I hear this loud music of some sort coming from my right. I look over and see two girls doing a thrust like motion to the song. I assume they are dancing but who knows what teenagers do these days. Bob and I are laughing hysterically when I get this great idea to creep them out a little bit. I tell Bob the plan and he is all game for it. so as we turned the corner I rolled down my window and yell looking good as Bob honked the horn at them. Their faces turned bright red and you could tell they were embarrassed and a little creeped out as they jumped in the car and took off.

In 20 years

In twenty years i will be working for a NFL or college football team as an athletic director. I will be married to a hot football player and have three kids. All my kids will be boys and be studs at life or mainly just football. I will have the best wedding ever! It will be so awesome that even Justin Bieber will be jealous and sad that he was not invited. My family and I will have an amazing house with a football field, basketball court, and a dirt bike track in the back. I will have a Ford truck and an orange camaro that only I am a loud to drive. My husband and I will grow old and watch our boys be football stars in college and maybe even in the NFL. This is what my life will be like in twenty years. That is if everything goes as planned. :)

A River Runs Through It Movie Review

The River Runs Through It was a great film. It was awesome how it took place in the olden days and how they used the old cars. I think the actor selection was pretty good. Especially Brad Pitt as Paul because back then he was quite a good looking man and played Paul's part of a ladies man quite well. The scenery with the river and the mountains was beautiful and the detail of the fishing line was amazing. I like how they used a younger age for the two boys. It appeals more to the viewers and it was more tragic when Paul dies in the end. I did not like how Paul dies but we all saw it coming. Over all I think this film was one of Robert Redford's best pieces yet.

Everything Will Make Sense

"Eventually, all things merge into one and a river runs through it." When fishing everything makes sense. You are in a world full of peace and tranquility. This quote from the book A River Runs Through It reminds me of something my grandfather would say while we were fishing. All the little things in life that happen all will come together as one. If it turns out bad the river will run through it and wash it away. If it turns out good the river will run through it and carry it with you. My grandfather once told me that if you're having a bad day go fishing because you will be able to let everything else go with each cast you make. All things in life will eventually lead up to that point where everything makes sense.

It's An Art

Basketball is an art
It's sometimes fun to play in shopping carts
When you're dribbling down the court
The other team will want to abort
You let everything else go
And get into your mojo
Because right now you're playing a game
And you can't play it lame
So shoot that ball a lot
And knock down someone named Scott
Because you are here to win
Not to lose again!

Fear of Jumping

Your going to fall off and die Angie. Your going to hit the rocks down below or maybe a snake will come up and bite you! I finally took a deep breath and took the jump not breathing again until I hit the water and came back up for air. Fear was telling me a lot of things that made me not want to jump off that cliff but I was able to over come that fear and jump. I was scared because there were rocks near the bottom that if you didn't jump far enough out you would hit. when I jumped and looked down it looked like I was going to hit the rocks only to come up out of the water thinking I want to do it again! It was also scared because right before I was going to jump I saw two big snakes swimming in the water down below. I really don't like snakes. I did almost fall off the cliff. If it hadn't been for someone hanging on to the back of my life jacket while I was climbing down to the edge I would have slipped right off. In the end I was happy I jumped because it gave me this rush that was awesome! I would totally do it again. And besides I wasn't going to not jump after hiking the three miles to get to this place.
