DJANGO Unchained

OK! So I saw Django Unchained today and it was awesome. I really liked that the team involved in this film could successfully have humor in a film with such a serious subject matter. In my research of the film I came across the film titled Django and it was a bloody western so I can't help to think there was some reference or ideas used from that.(Idk just an idea) I also really liked that although there were references to white men taking black women to their rooms it didn't show things like that in the film. This film was really bloody like the blood just looked so real and gave the film a real feel at some points.

I also liked how strong and smart Django was. I really get frustrated with the fact that we were thought of as animals or less then. Different yes we are but less then we are not. Watching this made me think of guys I've learned about like NAT Turner. Long story short great film.

I can't help but think that I want to be working on sets like this. I want to intern for a shooting of a movie and see all the behind the scenes stuff. Like blowing stuff up, I saw some movie info on IMDb and it talked about the use of dynamite in the movie and how it wasn't invented until 9 years  after the supposed time period of the movie. (lol) Things like that intrigue me.

I don't want to give much away but that reference to the Three Musketeers was one of my favorite parts. :)

My Haul

 Yesterday I went to Limerick Outlets with my dad before the snow got to bad. Man oh man being responsible sucks lol. I'll be honest the only reason I didn't buy more is because I know I have to buy my books for the up coming semester. I saw this really cool NIKE jacket I wanted, I'm so determined to find that thing again.

(Any ways)More about my haul. You see all the pretty things I got I'm so excited. The shirt which was originally 44.99 was on clearance for 4.97 with an extra 40% off. The shirt came to 2.98 in which I really could have gotten for free with the Gap gift card I have but the store couldn't get the thing to work (UGH) I think it only works in regular Gap stores.

Then I headed into Charlotte Russe. I fell in love all over again it was motivation to get back on track with eating healthy and working out so I can comfortably wear their clothing again. For now I just got jewelry and that cute wallet!!! The wallet was 2.99 and all my jewels was 20.00 dollars my total was 24.37. My fave of all the jewelry has to be my bracelet pictured below. Its just so cute and will look nice with a few shirts I have.
On the day I spent a total of 32.45 because I spent 5.10 in family dollar on some hair accessories and coloring books. (lol)
One of my goals for 2013 is to learn to budget and learn the things I need to do be financially stable so hopefully I wont do a lot of shopping or I'll be doing shopping when things are on sale and every now and then I can enjoy more days like this!!!! :)

Stay tuned for my journey through 2013. I'll be working on my relationship with God,working on my writing, trying new things, working on my health, making videos, and LIVING LIFE.

This is the outfit I wore on Christmas day. It was comfy but cute. I like to read a lot of fashion blogs and I definitely want to try my hand at it. Oh and I love my hair. I love my natural hair and I'm still learning how to deal with it. Its not an easy task but I do pretty ok.

Recap.

Oh blog how I've missed thee! Nothing really interesting is going on so I haven't had anything to post up here. The new year is coming so I can recap a few things and tell you a few goals I have for 2013. :)

Well my aspirations for a 4.0 this semester were a no go but I did finish with 4 As and a C in bio(3.57) my GPA is getting better and I've realized that I every time I go for a 4.0 I do pretty well so 4.0 goal is still alive and well.

I've realized that I'm getting old (lol) I'm a JR in college people a JR. I thought about it the other day when my cousin asked when I would be graduating. I told her god willing next year. I already know if its in his will its already done I just have to keep working hard.

Christmas day I watched a story of guy that goes to my school. It was cool to see how selfless he was, and it was also cool to see how ESPN put the story together made me realize that I want to be apart of crews like that and  also how bad I want to realize my dream of working on a 30 for 30 film.


I've recently read and finished a book called from failure to promise by Dr.C Moorer and it really hit home. He with his faith in god really made it through a lot of situations in academia and life period to make it were he is. He's blessed and successful I can dig it I want to make it and do well at my craft and my calling as long as its Gods will. His will shall come to pass so I know I'll be good.


Here's a video that I made when I was coming home. I'm hoping to go downtown with my cousin and make another one during our trip. I think this is the end of my post, I'm hoping to be more consistent with my post I know I keep saying that but its going to happen(eventually).  I have so many goals and aspirations some cool things forth coming God is going to bless my 2013 and yours too!
