Jamie Oliver

This guy is doing an amazing thing for the US nation. Literally, I believe America does have a “fast food and super-size it” philosophy, which is not one bit healthy. His show “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution” is inspirational, I encourage to watch it on abc.com. He is in Huntington, West Virginia, which has the highest obesity rate in the nation, and he is showing these residents healthier ways of eating, and how to prepare healthy food. As he says, “It is a common sense process”, and he is 100% correct. His goal is to transform a 1000 people in the city into eating healthier and show them healthier options. Let me tell you, I hate cooking shows, but this show literally brings tears to your eyes. It is amazing what this man is doing, and I hope others in our nation will step up and join the food revolution.

I laughed so hard at this

*Sorry if this offends anyone, there is profanity.*



I have to agree with his comment on birds, why do they have to get up so early?

What if I was royal?

So I was watching NBC’s Who Do You Think You Are, and I was thinking if I trace my name back to my ancestors what I would find. I did and I found out that my ancestors were surprisingly awful people, not like murders but rather thieves! …I was oddly hoping to be like an illegimate child of Henry IV or Charles V, but thieves made me more intrigued. Thus I did research into my Italian heritage and I saw my relatives were Sicily, naturally I asked my parents for more details. THEN I shockingly discovered that during the potato famine in Ireland my relatives went to Ireland to raided farms and claim the land of people that died from the famine. In the end, the point of this rant is that sometimes you leave the past in the past for a reason.

Starbucks – buying a brand

“I will have a venti mocha coffee”

- “Ok that will be $5.06”

Ummm that’s alittle pricy, so why not switch to Dunkin Donuts, well the reason is because of the brand and the atmosphere. When you are a girl walking around with a starbucks coffee, you in a sense feel mature, because you see all the grownups and friends in college walking around with them also. It is kind of like a club, and you do not want to be left out. The coffee cup with the logo of Starbucks is like the secret handshake or password. The brand is a representation of a bunch of things such as high society and organic products, etc.

However the only reason I ever seem to go to starbucks is because of the atmosphere. I feel like there I can always go and have a relaxing place to write a paper, chat with friends to catch up, or play dominoes…which I have done with some people. Unlike places like Dunkin donuts, you can’t get work done it is more of a place to pick up coffee and just walk out. So Starbucks although expensive, is doing pretty well in the public eye.

We are all striving to be normal but really we can only be next to normal

If for some reason you are in New York, see this musical, it is life changing. The musical portrays real family issues through a more contemporary, rock music selection. It is so amazing that my boyfriend was getting teary eyed during it.

The theme of love in like most plays and musicals is prominent, but especially in Next to Normal it showed the work needed behind most relationships in order for love to be successful. The show presented the hardships and the highs of a relationship, but seriously made me personally reflect on my own relationship. I love my boyfriend with my whole heart, and the one line in the musical hit me to the core, “I am the one who loves, I am the one who cares, I am the one who won’t walk away”. Literally, I was bawling inside.

Sorry very random topic, but from a musical fanatic I give it 10 thumbs up J

Happiness is...

Sorry I haven't written in a while, it seems that my whole world is collasping and noone is there to hold my hand. So im going for a more personal look to my blog, i dont know it was a last minute idea. So...

Do you ever feel empty inside, as if nothing ever makes you satisfied or happy? If someone told me to write down what makes me happy, I would not know what to write. Every day I hope that I can find this driving force or topic that will lead me to my happiness, but I haven’t found it yet. As frustrating as it is at times, there is a small speck of hope in the future. Someone once told me to follow him and he will lead me to happiness, and I have seen that this person has a pure happiness with himself and with his life. I do not feel that anymore. I used to when I was younger like the saying is ignorance is bliss, and it is the truth. However, one cannot be ignorant after learning of so much heartache, violence, and disappointment is in the world and that the future holds. I am striving everyday to attain happiness, but I’m slowly losing hope.

I have love, I found seriously the first person in my life that I live everyday for, and want to spend every waking minute with, but they will be gone for whole year next year. He is the closest thing in my life to what happiness is, and now it will be overseas, nowhere close to me. I feel like no matter what I do I can never succeed. He is the only thing currently that is going right, so what happens next?
