Going Back to Our Childhood Memories

What movie isn’t shown in 3d nowadays? Personally, I was getting annoyed by the fact that all movies were being advertised as being so much better with the 3d experience. Let’s see I have to pay more to be wearing glasses that make me look weird and can be uncomfortable at times. Hrmmm…. Nevertheless, if the movie is 3d you can’t possibly do the unthinkable by seeing the regular showing, right? This is true for The Lion King 3D. 



The Lion King 3D has all the funny moments, tear jerker scenarios and life lessons as the movie we saw as kids. Timon and Pumbaa are still the perfect duo to make any person giggle at their ridiculous plans and cringe at their odd eating habits. Simba and Nala are still so cute with their romantic love blossoming from being just best friends as cubs disgusted at the thought of having to marry each other to the eventual creation of their own family and the leaders of their pride. The hyenas are still as evil as ever, with the slight exception of Eddie who is so ditsy and well not the brightest to say the least. 


The Lion King 3D teaches us a key lesson that is familiar to many of us- Hakuna Matata it means no worries! It reminds us that sometimes bad things happen and there’s nothing you can do about it, so why worry. It is an optimistic approach in life and a definite mood booster when you are thinking what can possible go wrong now and the wrong happens.  


Moreover, Simba teaches us about destiny. He had a destiny he tried fighting. He did not think he was capable of filling his father’s shoes in becoming the leader of his pride. Even when we fight our destiny sometimes we end up the same exact spot we so desperately fought to get away from.  This is a common theme in chick flicks. Sometimes the protagonist tries their best to run away from their destiny and sometimes they embrace their destiny to the fullest. So don’t fight your destiny and go watch The Lion King 3D, it’ll bring back memories from when we were kids living that stress-free life.

Where will we live?

Finding a home has it's up and downs and dodging of bullets (if you don't research the neighborhood well enough) and a case of headaches all on its own, but throw in a marriage into the mix and it adds just that much more. The one question that make take more than a few minutes to ponder over is... Where will we live? What if your spouse is originally from the other side of town or another state? What if your job has caused you to move away from your parents, but now you feel like it's the perfect time to move closer to them? In the second episode of Married At First Sight (the 2nd season) , Jaclyn and Ryan R. already had a bumpy start with Jaclyn not being attracted to Ryan R. at all and she sure did not have an ounce of fear to share that with the cameras. But on top of all that she's in love with her job as a sales representative for a popular vodka brand in  New Jersey. Her now husband is from L...

You is KIND You is SMART You is IMPORTANT

How many of us find ourselves feeling low? Has anyone put you down? Was that person that put you down the very closest person to you? Were you left vulnerable and without any hope? It has happened to us all and if it hasn’t no worries it will, it is part of life. What makes this a good part of life is that you will have something positive come out of it. It might not be that person who hurt you bringing your spirits back up but it will be someone. Someone like Aibileen.  In the The Help , a group of strong willed warmhearted women show us all that hope can exist within ourselves. Aibileen and Minny are best friends who have always been The Help in Jackson, along with their other African American companions. They are constantly thrown obstacles and insulted by their “owners.”   They live in fear, poverty and are often humiliated by the regulations the white folk make them follow. These people think they know so much and cannot possibly associate themselves at the same...
