I'm going to be honest, I hadn't planned on seeing this movie originally, but with all the effort he put into this I just can't resist.

Breaking Dawn Release!

At Midnight last night Breaking Dawn was released. Breaking Dawn is the 4th installment to the Twilight Saga! Personally, I'm very, very excited about this book coming out. The third book (Eclipse) left so many questions unanswered. So much is supposed to happen it is insane. If you haven't picked up the first three books you should! Just for some back information (I know Mel has covered a lot of this already), these books mostly surround Bella, who is an awkward speak when spoken to teenager, Edward Cullen a pale, gorgeous vampire and in later books Jacob Black, Bella's best friend. It's entertaining, wild, and the plots for each of the books are amazing. When you get done with one book you want to jump into the next one just to see what happens. SO!, go to the store and pick up the series, it is an easy read and a good way to kill some time!

Name that Film!

Fun summer game! In this post are screen captures from 25 randomly selected 5 star rated movies on Netflix. It is your job(privilege) to see if you can name the movie they are from! Some are easy and common, some not so much. For this first round, try not to use imdb. It's more fun that way.

Having a Purpose

I have been thinking about this for a while. We all go through the transition from being a kid to having responsibilities and being an adult. Every person takes a different path in life physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Some people have pressure to be a certain way from parents, friends, or even strangers. The world we live in pressures us to live, think, and act in a certain manner. But seriously, do we have an actual purpose in life? Leaving everything aside (parents, friends, influencing parties) what is our purpose?

Do we have a purpose other then to be ourselves in life, something like destiny? Or, do we have to force ourselves to be purposeful? While growing up it seems like we were always told that we have a purpose in life. A purpose? What does that mean?...To satisfy out needs, to make other proud, to help those in need around us? Or is our purpose to find ourselves as an individual and not necessarily to have an impact on other?
