I might be stretching myself a little thin here, but I have recently started a Tumblr account and might head to Twitter next.
I am really liking the set up of Tumblr, which is more visual but still equally as fun.
Check out my Tumblr. Update for Twitter will come soon!

Footloose Finally Set to Break Loose!
So the new trailer for the (highly anticipated) remake of Footloose just hit the web, and I am not impressed. It threw me back to 2006 Step Up with all the public coordinated dance scenes. But I am not going to automatically write this movie off as a flop. I actually like "dance movies" like the original Footloose. All I am saying, if the story is atrocious the dancing better make up for it.
The acting looks a little rough in the trailer, which might be another reason to avoid this movie or at least wait till it becomes available to rent.
Another would be the fact that it took forever to start shooting. There are many reasons why this film continued to get pushed back pre-production, but I believe that one of the main reasons was because they had trouble nailing down a lead. Originally, Zac Efron was on board but he left quite early on along with the original director. Next Chase Crawford stepped up to the plate, only to peace out due to "scheduling conflicts" (which in my book is often code for "terrible script"). Now we have Kenny Wormald has 5 movies to his, 4 of which he is credited as "Dancer." So we know he at least meets my dance requirement!

Braid!
So I bought this game on the Apple Store yesterday and its freakin awesome! There are times when I am reading the story and it seems like it was translated from another language because I still dont know what is going on (something about saving a princess) but the game play reminds me of old school Mario with a twist. Instead of dying you have the chance to rewind time and try again, which you have to use throughout the game to try and collect all the puzzle pieces.
It's a brain teaser and very frustrating at times, but the calming music helps keep you even headed at even the most difficult puzzles.
CHECK IT OUT!

WTF?!
So I dont know who this guy is (he had a role on lost), but it was just reported that he married a 16 year old in Las Vegas. She looks like she's 30, but still he is 51 years old and creepy as hell. Is this some fucked up ploy to get some PR going? (AKA like Britney shaving her head and Xtina's "DUI")
Either way, let me introduce Doug Hutchison every man's hero...

Check out Citizen Global to hear their stories.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo was recently named "the rape capital of the world" by the United Nations and is the second worst place for women to live (after Afghanistan). Every day thousands of women and girls are raped by soldiers and citizens. Often times they are ostracized by their villages and families after wards, causing many to end their lives.
They are not protected or provided for by their government or villages, and many feel pressure to sleep with soldiers for money and other basic needs, which leads to unwanted pregnancy and more burdens.
Gang rape and violence against women have become the norm, as well as a tactic to rip apart communities and demonstrate the power of rebel forces and military within the country.
Part of the problem is that women of the Congo are still seen as second class citizens. They are usually married off at young ages and forced to bear many children, which takes away their opportunity to receive higher education and realize their worth.
Women are always used as weapons of war. Rape should not be tolerated. Do your part to help these women by giving them a voice.
