Spirited Away:Hayao Miyazaki's genius

Image
If you hanven't seen spirited away yet, you are missing out on food for the imagination. Spirited Away is not just an animation it is an experience of life. creative, ambituos, moving, intense, phenomenal,it is a kaleidoscope into the soul. Deep, mesmerising, questionable, Spirited away is a film you see, and you never ever forget. There are many perspectives to what spirited away is a 2001 Japanese animated fantasy-adventure film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. The film shares the story of Chihiro Ogino, a sullen ten-year-old girl who is in the process of moving to a new neighborhood, but ends up in a mysterious world of spirits and monsters.There, Chihiro must find a way to restore her parents' true forms by working in Yubaba's bathhouse. Some think it's simply about imagination,one young girls mistaken journey into the world of gods, and the supernatural. It's about more than that. It's a film whose core is about mainta

Ultimate abs workout: Trigger happy tv, The funniest show ever

Why on Earth did they stop trigger happy tv? It'sone of the most hillarious tv shows ever. After having a pseudo mini self pity moment, my sister convinced me to watch trigger. Infact i didn't really need much convincing. Hillariously comic, creative, insane, trigger happy is one of those shows you watch and think geeze i wish i was filming it when they did that scene. I was cackling and holding my stomach for hours, it gave my abs the work out they deserve. Laughter as emotional medicine....Definitely. Through a breakup, a mini meltdown, stress at work, and various other forms of misery, if you're looking for a friend. Trigger happy is your jokes companion. Truly unreal. trigger happy tv

He's just not that into you:Do men ever ignore the girls they like?

Image
I have so many guy friends that have told me stories of shyness, nervous about being too eager (a begdate),feeling intimidated and scared the girls they like would terrorise them for honesty. I'm talking mega humiliation,or frustrated that the timing and life itself seemed to be more helter skelter. Do men ever ignore the girls or women their attracted too? Some of them do. Fear of getting hurt, fear of looking foolish, being taught by the wrong people the wrong things in order to get some attention. For some it's a players code. If you treat em mean you'll keep em keen. But there are actually those who genuinely loathe the women they ignore. How can you define the two? Simple. The key reason that detracts a guy from going after the girl he likes, circulates around fear. Fear? Yes, you heard it. A simple case of heeeeeeeeebe geeeeebe's.There is the fear of not knowing what to say? Looking like a total circus clown or sounding like one, and the fear of lookin

Defining Love: Lord of the Rings Gandalf as genius

Image
I used to think love was all, starlets and glamourous on screen kisses. It was the beat of a heart, or the throb of a vein. I used to think it was that moment where the characters lock gazes, like the click of a key in a lock, or the tumble of entwined limbs in the darkness. As idealistic as i was, i figured love was knowing,caring, understanding one another.Love is about so much more than this. Strangely enough through the trials and tribulations of relationships gone sour, snobbed and treated with disdain by crushes. I remember once sobbing in front of someone and they literally just stood there, as if to say 'what the hell are you doing?' Obviously it was a guy,some guys can be quite weird when you go into water spasms. I realised for the first time everybody has their different experience of love, and their own internal, non textbook requirements of it. We spend our whole lives, trying to be strong, a smile superglued to our facial expressions, or words that sound

The fab five weirdest things i saw on the internet this week

Treeman. I'm serious he's real this isn't hollywood and cgi. What the hell? I understand connecting with nature, but becoming nature? You lie, you lie Annie Hawkins turner-the worlds largest breast. Can anyone tell me how this woman sleeps at night? Is this for real? Supposedly this guy has the worlds biggest penis? I think Samantha (Sex and the city) would definitely have a hard time with this one. If it is real. This is hillarious this dog is actually convinced it can sing.

OF MICE AND MEN:THE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE COWARD

Image
It's a funny thing when people follow someone's negative attitude without coming up with real conclusions themselves, ultimately it backfires.Someone i know used to have a serious thing for me, i don't know wether it was a real crush but it was something.This isn't me being egotistical, i've always been quite insecure about my looks. One day his mother suddenly decided she was far too good for me and my family, she never told us why, she was just extraodinarily rude, would close doors when she saw me coming, cross the street, leave the garden, back bite and bitch. Before long, this poison spread to the rest of her family. I've always been polite to his family, it's how i was raised. Yet him, the person i joked with, laughed with, was natural with, would begin to immitate his mothers actions. Would roll up his car window when he saw me approaching, go back into his house, pretend not to see me and turn up the music.It's funny how you don't not

Top ten most outrageously sexy things you'd wear to seduce your crush....+ a captain America costume

Image
Hot diggety damn. Wether it's morning, afternoon, or the delicious cool of the night. There are just those outfits. Those smouldering, intensely, naughty outfits you can picture yourself wearing...in front of your crush. Maybe there's chocolates on the side, some petals, and some itch between the toes snap the knee caps off high heels, you know you can only wear for the strut portion of the fantasy. Here are my top ten. As you can see i'm feeling very obvious today.

How can you tell you have a crush? Que vid

Image
Wow we've all been there, the beginnings of a crush. Threading on wire, rehearsed an almost perfect diction,theme park stomache, stones in your throat, sweaty palms, and the heightened anticipation. Were always scared we'll do something wrong in front of our crush, and aren't those perfect insecurities magnified times ten. Funny things make me realise i have a crush.For example normally i wiggle my hips when i walk, when my crush is around or even in the vicinity, i walk ruler straight, divert gaze constantly, or stare intensely. Pick smart sounding words, and...this is the mover and shaker. Slowly peel my jacket off, then nervously put it back on again. I have strange habbits like keeping a jacket on when i feel uncomfortable, it's an ocd thing. Or i'm always the martian you see wearing a bomber jacket in oven heat, or tight mini shorts when the sky's sobbing with rain. Anyway i saw this clip about how it feels to have a crush...by jolly i had to share

Gliding past the snob: How to get over being snobbed

Image
"Maybe she found out about when my friend hit on me," "So?" "So she's a she." I told my sister, nervously biting my fingernails."I don't want her to think i'm creatively kinky," my sister quirked a neatly shaped brow. I huffed like a balloon that had all the air let out of it.After deciding that it didn't mean anything to me verbally, i went into the bathroom and did my "who the hell does she think she is?" rant. Everybody's done this rant.It's when your spitting fire and venom, convincing yourself that your angry. When in fact, your actually a little bit hurt.I've nick named her, 'snake woman.'my brother and i used to call her shaft and sing the theme tune everytime she walked up the driveway (she had the leather jacket), Sadly Shaft is way too cool for such disdainful behaviour. My next door neighbour is a snob. For no reason but her own self glorification. Her ego is ten times the size of her h

Striving for succes: Success and stubborness

Image
I've set a challenge for myself. A goal. most of my goals and my dreams started off far fetched, but every single one of them i've accomplished. I started a photography company. Despite dealing with the trauma of a physical attack that left me with post traumatic stress disorder, my epileptic seizures, and my panick attacks. I have come to the conclusion that the universe has allowed me to proove what deep down i always believed in my heart. I am an unstoppable force of nature. I have accomplished a photoshoot with the FA cup, Sainsbury's, The Mcdonalds corporation, the red pr company. I also achieved many things i'm thankful for in my journalism background; including work with such leading magazines as Company, New nation, BFM.I even got to meet one of Naomi Campbells designers and make plans to compile a clothing catalogue for her.I'm still improving my camera skills but around the time i'd accomplished all of these things, the only thing i could do wit
