I'm sitting here reading crude articles on Circuses.com, a website about the cruelty and abuse that is inflicted on circus animals. Last night I experienced what I'd like to call a life-changing event. It sounds dramatic, and in it's own sense it is, but all it entailed was watching a new music video by Rise Against. I've always liked their ( Read more... )

Earlier today I went to the Wherehouse to get The City Drive's CD, which was released a few days ago, on June 27th, and is out at tons of stores. I've had the CD since before it was released, but I still wanted to go out there and actually buy the CD at the store as a way of supporting them. Hell, even THEY went to the store and each bought their ( Read more... )

I saw Superman Returns on Friday night, and by gosh, I want to see it again. I must admit, although extremely excited about it, I was skeptical of what I would see. But to say I liked it is an understatement. Sure, the plot was not as good as Batman Begins. I'll admit that much. A little bit of the storyline was sacrificed for some eye pleasing ( Read more... )

Earlier tonight I was watching a show on Animal Planet with my stepdad, and it crushed my heart. There was a special on about animals that are taken away by the CACC (Center for Animal Care and Control), from owners that neglect and abuse them. They showed a few doggies that they rescued, beaten and malnourished. I can't believe that people ( Read more... )

I've already been on summer vacation for about a month, and as usual, time is flying. I've been a busy bee, buzzing around like my usual self. Last week I led a retreat along with my best friend, Paulina, and a couple of other college kids. It was a good experience, and the kids seemed to really like the retreat. I felt proud of us, especially ( Read more... )

As of Tuesday night I am officially done with my second year of college. Monday I turned in two final papers and had a debate, and Tuesday I had a debate and performed a theatre scene for my final. It's been a crazy last three weeks filled with things that were due. But now I'm done with the year. And it's such a crazy thought. Everyone keeps ( Read more... )

I just accidentally closed the window to an update I typed. I'm annoyed. Here it goes again, but in a shorter version ( Read more... )

This weekend I went on a DeColores service trip to Mexico with my school. Needless to say, it was an amazing experience. I don't know if I should even be writing about it, because there is no way to convey the experience in words. But I guess I can try ( Read more... )

What a crazy weekend. It was jam-packed with stuff. Alot of it was consumed with meetings, plannings, and rehearsal for Rise and Design. What is Rise and Design you ask? It is a student run nonprofit organization that I'm a part of here at LMU. I'm on the management team for it. We have been working on this thing for about 3 months now. What ( Read more... )

I was just reading an article online by Mark Hart, who works for LifeTeen, about a conversation he had with a waiter at a restaurant a couple days before St. Patrick's Day. And it pretty much sums up the way I feel about the holiday and people's idiotic traditions of getting absolutely obliterated on that day. No one knows anything about St. ( Read more... )
