"Knowing" Movie review

This movie was interesting... It was a mix between horror, suspense, sci fi, and idk what else.

The plot goes: There's a outcast child in elementary school who jots down numbers in a sequence. Her teacher snatches the paper from her and it is placed in a time capsule for 50 years. By coincidence, Nicholas Cage's son in the movie (who is rather mouthy and rude to his father) happens to get hold of this paper.

After being encouraged by his son, Nicholas Cage deciphers the numbers and realizes that they are cataloging all the major disasters around the world for the last 50 years. Once he has realized this he notices there are 3 more sequences of numbers, that turn out to be predictions....


I won't ruin the movie by telling you which disasters happen or the twist at the end but it is a very good movie.

FYI any new yorkers, this movie will make you think twice about taking the subway...

Uniquely YOU

Hello all...

I feel a little weird once I really got into this whole blogging thing and the conclusion that I've come to is....

::drumroll please:: Blogging is just like high school. Its a race to see who can get the most hits on their page, basically who can become the most popular. Who's page design is the most unique. And what I've found is that every one on here is striving to be the most unique and "different from the rest" or the most mainstream. So that makes me ask, where do I fall in? what genre is my blog? What kind of audience (if any) do I have?

The thing that is mind boggling to me is that majority of the blogs that I have seen haven't really been news worthy or special. But then that leads me to the question: is my blog newsworthy? who decides what newsworthy is?

Don't mind me I get a little frazzled from time to time. I begin to question a bunch of things like purpose and existence to whether or not I really enjoy all my hobbies and such.

I guess my main point is self reflection. We should all stop an re- evaluate ourselves. Be original and don't regret ANY thing that you do...

Future advice columnist?

Hello all...
I am pleased to announce that I received my first email asking for advice! The sender (who wishes to remain anonymous) is asking, to some, a life altering question. I am too happy to answer the question as it is a subject dear to my heart.

The email is as follows:

"Dear PrincessaMedia:
I just wanna say I wasn't really into the whole blog thing but your's is kinda cool. You can relate to it, which is why I joined your group on facebook. I don't want you to reveal my name on your blog because those who know me or you will automatically know what situation I am speaking on.

But my question is: When do things get easier? I feel like I give and I give to family, friends, and even my boyfriend and I feel like I never get the same in return. Now all the people in my circle aren't all jerks (my boyfriend and my sisters and brothers) but the friends aren't as understanding or caring...

After I sat them down to tell them how I was feeling and what we should do to move on and it seems weeks later nothing has changed. What should I do?"

I would just like to say thanks for reading my blog! And secondly this isn't an easy question to answer. Some of the more stubborn people I know would say to cut them off and keep on moving. Some of the nicer people I know would say try talking to them again because some people never learn on the first try.

Personally, from experience I've learned that just because you hold someone in high regards that the sentiment doesn't have to be returned. I had people in my life that I felt were life long friends that turned out to be semester long friends...

You see like my mom always told me (and she's pretty wise for a young mom, lol) God puts people in your life to teach you certain lessons and that once you learn from them, they leave. So, I was learning from these people and trying to keep them in my life way past their expiration dates.

You gotta go with the flow, and not to sound cliche but if you love something, let it go, and if it comes back its here to stay. If these people are willing to leave (or in your situation, not be there like they should or just overall bad friends) let them go. If they're true friends they'll find their way back to.

Take this as a sign that God wants you to work on you. Maybe you need some more alone time or God is teaching you independence. Just remember everything happens for a reason and to learn to find the good in things.

Hope this helps
xoxo
