The Blind Side

Thanksgiving is day when we stuff stale turkey down our throats and listen to Abueltia complain about everything from the food to the way you are dressed or at least that is how it’s done in my house. Thanksgiving is celebrated relatively the same among all people, the main aspects including food and family with variations of parades and football. It’s the day afterwards that defines us also know as Black Friday.

You have a one of three choices on this day. Option 1 is waking up at 3 in the morning, running to Wal-Mart and fighting with the lady next to you for a under priced plasma screen TV or the latest fashion doll. Option 2 is sleeping in till noon, eating a leftover turkey sandwich, and then going back for more sleep. Simple and to the point. Lastly you have option three. Option 3 is grabbing the local newspaper, skipping the advertisements, and checking the movie show times. Let me tell you option three is your best choice, you are able to enjoy yourself but still get over yesterdays heart burn. Now a lot of different movies come out during this time so it might be a little overwhelming on what to choose but I’ll make it easy for you and just tell you the answer.

Blind Side

Blind side is a true story of Michael Oher, a homeless boy from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a upper class family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Michael’s presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to discover and learn the true meaning of family. Michael overcome challenges from grades to becoming one of the most valued football players. The movie is based of the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis


Blind side is going to be another one of those all around pleasures. It has the football action scenes for the boys, the heartfelt make you feel warm inside moments for the girls, and those laugh out loud parts that everyone loves. Plusthe very talented Sandra Bullock. You can’t help but love that chica.
In the end I give this movie 4 out of 5 slices of turkey. So eat up and see this movie. Bring the whole family, even Abuelita. She won’t complain, because trust me, this movies is worth it.

Backwards Dictionary

You know that word that means motivation, kinda like urge...but its not that...you know that word?

Inspiration?
No not that word...it has a "D" in it and is also short...

No, I don't know sorry

UGH!!!!.....never mind

Have you ever gone through a conversation like that? I do at least once a day. I always feel a little stupid, especially on the simple words. I know what it means, but the actual word just slips my mind. Those days are over. I have found the answer, the treasure chest, the greatest invention ever.

Backwards Dictionary

In a regular dictionary you look up a word to find its definition but in a backwards dictionary you look up a definition and find a word that matches it...I'll give you a second to absorb that and all its greatness.....WOW right?

Who ever came up with this idea is my hero.

So far I have only found one website that offers this option www.onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml but trust me I can guarantee this idea will be catching on pretty soon.

(Brownie point to whoever can figure out the word I was thinking of)

Off the Wall

I want a pair of Vans

The Era Originals

NOW

Yes I know I know, How could I not have a pair of these shoes already? Even though they have been in style for quite some time now I just never really was into them until now but hey better late than never.

I want the original original, Black with white laces

Vans have a history, and I want to be part of it, carry on the tradition and you should to. Vans come in every color imaginable, from high top to low top to slip on. Don't make the same mistake I did and get yourself some Vans.

I found a Happy Ending

If your like me you like a little bit of everything when it comes to your music and boy do I have a great song for you.
Happy Ending by MIKA



Now I've heard this song before on an episode of Gossip Girl but for the first time Ive REALLY heard it. I stumbled across this song again when doing some random youtube searching and I am glad I did because it has got it all. The choir,the orchestra, the heart felt lyrics, a great beat. I'm a sucker for stuff that gets your heart beating along with the song. Most importantly this song has me singing along by the end. The funny thing is that its got that inspirational vibe to it but when you listen to the lyrics they are just a little bit of a downer.....yet another reason to love it.

MIKA has a crazy sound, completely one of a kind. I have a feeling I am going to like the rest of his work. I'm not gonna lie, this song probably isn't for everyone but I highly recommend you check it out for yourself. You can find Happy Ending on their album Happy Ending
