CATS!!!

Ok so The Lion King in 3D was undeniably awesome. I was in there in the theatres as a kid when it first came out and then to see such an iconic film of my childhood literally popping out of the screen was just something else. The stampede was amazing and Scar's final leap at the end was one of the most epic things I've ever seen.

Now in the spirit of lions and Africa, after this weekend we will now have the opportunity to not only purchase the amazingness of the new edition The Lion King but also *drum roll please* Disneynature's African Cats,  following the stories of several African lions and cheetahs in the savannah, narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. The film was produced in conjuction with the African Wildlife Foundation, the initiative being named "See the Cats, Save the Savannah". A portion of proceeds from the box office already went to the Foundation, saving over 50,000 acres of land in Kenya *cue thunderous applause*. But let's not stop there shall we?! African Cats will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and download on next Tuesday, October 4th. For each copy sold between Oct 4-Oct 10th, an additional $0.50 will be donated to the African Wildlife Foundation.

SO ORDER YOUR COPY!!! You can Pre-order now!

This movie is amazing. So see the Cats and help save the Savannah!

There are just no words sometimes

I figure it's safe to post here because let's face it, nobody is reading this at the moment anyway and honestly, I don't know if I have the power and brain capacity to pick up a pencil. I came up with a variety of things to talk about this week on my blog: Haleiwa Eats, my part in the play, how wonderful Trevor is, how awesome the Lion King was. And now I just can't talk about any of it. I am miserable and feel sick-not because I'm actually ill but I'm in constant state of nausea and there is an unrelenting pain in my chest. I feel like I've been slapped, punched, and condemned for a future that hasn't and will not happen. I'm hurt because I've never meant something so much, been so confident about my feelings, and then to have me told that no faith can be put in them, even though I don't feel that I've done anything.  I am discouraged because I don't know what to do; I'm not a quitter and my first instinct is to fight and keep pushing through but I don't think that'll help this time. I feel pathetic, beaten, and broken. I'm alone and I can't just call up the person that said that they would always come for me. I'm scared because I still haven't changed my mind but maybe it won't even matter if I do what I said and know I can do. But I don't want to do it alone. I wish I could cry but the tears just won't come. I wish I could dance and get all of this negativity out of my body. I feel restless but there's no where to go.  And I've never felt so stuck in my life. Stuck in this house. Stuck on this island. Stuck on him. And for all the suckiness this stuckiness is bringing, I still can't be angry or take back how I feel because I meant what I said and it means too much to me. He means too much to me that I can't ever be angry for more than 30 minutes. I might lie and pretend I am but I just love him.

Re-Vamping with New Horizons

So there is a lot going on in my life. And not going to lie, it's been difficult. But I also truly believe everything that has been happening, if I can keep pushing through, is going to be for the better. It's caused me to really put my life into some perspective, figure out what I want to do with it, and create aspirations for myself. There is a lot I want out of life but I haven't been good about writing those things down and figuring out what I need to do to make them happen. Part of this had led me to re-vamp this blog. It is now my new goal to blog at least once a week.

As such, I want to expand the focus of this blog. I want it to retain the environmentalism theme, but I don't want to just talk about my journey about becoming a better steward of the ecosystems; I would like to include me just becoming an overall happier, healthier person. It's a growing time in life. I'm in college, I'm on my own, I'm learning lots, still have lots to learn and I just want to keep on doing better.

Because honestly, we're more than stewards of the earth in the recycling sense. I'd like to think that we're also responsible for our relationships with others, how we feel about ourselves, and how we use the the time we have here. And I don't want to waste any more of it.

So here's to hopefully, more happy blogging.
