– My Nana, telling my aunt about Date Night (2010).
Her favorite part is when Steve Carell licks the stripper pole. She said it’s the funniest movie she’s ever seen. I can’t even begin to explain some of the things that come out of this woman’s mouth, but I’m proud to...

I think I have a sixth sense for knowing when something is about to go down. They act differently and there’s a vibe in the air. A vibe that says: “make yourself scarce or get caught in the cross-fire”.

Ironhide: Why are we fighting to save the humans? They're a primitive and violent race.
Optimus Prime: Were we so different? They're a young species. They have much to learn. But I've seen goodness in them. Freedom is the right of all senient beings.
I have a phone interview at 8am for an internship...
I’m so awkward on the phone.
God help me.
Approx. 22 hours and counting...
until I get to see this man in Lansing. We will be in the same gigantic room, and I might wet myself. No, I wouldn’t. Unless I happen to get an autograph. Then I might.
I just found out that...
Archbishop Desmond Tutu has one of the most amazing laughs I have ever heard. Considering all he has done, and maybe more importantly seen, I find the fact that he has such a beautifully infectious laugh is a tremendous testimonial to something. I’m not sure what that something is. Maybe of the resiliency of the goodness in humans, despite all the bad things that happen. That despite...
A Life Lesson I Learned Today:
When you don’t occupy your time with something useful, you end up spending your time doing something useless.

My opinionated statement for the day:
The last time I watched Totally Spies! was when I was about 13 years old. It is in my opinion that it has severely diminished in quality since then.
