Inglourious Bastards: A Review....



Quentin Tarantino has done it yet again. I'm my eyes he can do no bad movie. By far I think that this is one of the best films to date. I'm still partial to Deathproof and Kill Bill cause they are such empowering female movies and Pulp Fiction of course.

All actors in the movie were very on point as well. I do believe that it was one of Brad Pitts finest rolls to date as well. BJ Novak and Eli Roth were both fantastic.

I really didn't even notice that the film was 2 and a half hours and I'm one of those people that generally gets up to pee.. I did not move one time.

This is a must see in my opinion. I see several movies at least one a week and this is one that is guaranteed not to disappoint. Holds true to Tarantino films of the past. I just wish that we could get them more quickly.

Also doesn't disappoint with the gore from prior films as well. He still keeps everything as real as possible.

GO SEE THIS MOVIE IF ITS THE ONLY MOVIE YOU WATCH ALL SUMMER...

Something is fishy.. or maybe its Me?

I usually know when something is a foot. I think that theres something a foot now. Don't know what it is but. I will figure it out. Maybe I'm paranoid but hey. Its better to be aware of whats going on the oblivious.

I'm going to go do some yoga on that note and chill. I need some good music as well.

I always seem to think that when things are going well that the bottom will fall out and everything will go to shit. That's just how it has always been in my life.

Now that I know that things are OK I don't know what to do. There is no need to fight or anything. Life is fantastic. So why is it that i still feel that thing that makes me think it will all fall to bits.

That's that whole being present thing to me.. I will go and do just that.

Those Dang Chest Openers...


Yoga has helped me in so many different was it has helped me to quiet my mind and learn to be still. Its also helped me learn from myself and care more for other people around me.

I think that I have noticed the most is that I have become more sensitive towards other people and myself. I was always the girl that was to 'tough' to cry or for anyone to see upset.

Within the past year I have noticed as my chest and my upper shoulders have started to open so has all the 'crap' that I have been carrying around with me as well.

I haven't been the best or nicest person throughout my life. I know this. I am now trying to be a different more caring person towards myself and others. I think that it has been harder to forgive myself than it ever has been to forgive anyone else. Actually I know that it has because I work on it everyday still. I haven't forgave myself.

I know that holding on to things only hurts me in the end. So I'm trying really hard to forgive myself so that I can move on.

For some reason I seem to think since I have done some pretty shitty things that I am a shitty person. I know (I think) that I'm truly not a bad person.

I know the more chest openers that I do the more it will all come out.

Its weird to me to know that once i start to open my body up physically then emotionally it just follows. Pretty neat too. I love Yoga and all the things that I learn and grow from it daily.


Sit more is what I have to do. I don't know about anyone else but the sitting helps me the most.

What I learned on the mat today...





Wow just when you think your day is shit and all you want to do is go home, but you make yourself go to yoga hoping that it makes you feel better is some way or another. Be if I'm stressed or down or what ever I good Yin class always does the trick.

I have the most kickass teacher and mentor a young yogini could ask for. Bonus shes also a fantastic friend. Anyhow on to my point.

Today we had a great seated class. All of it was reclining and legs in the air mainly. For me its been getting that lower back on the floor and making it stick. That deep hollowing.

Before class started I sat and brought my awareness inward and thought 'What is my intention to day? What is wrong with me and why am I all blue for?'.

For some reason I automatically thought breathe through your heart..... sit... be aware of your body and breath and it will all be fine..... be present.. now...

Through most of class I practiced with my eyes closed and felt it all.

Point is I worry to much.. Don't sit enough.. Don't listen to my heart enough.. and should trust myself and others a lot more..

I think a lot of people do though.

so SIT more, Breath deeper, and just be present damnit..
