2012 We Day

Two years ago when I still in school, I volunteered for We Day as a Parking and Transportation volunteer. It still remains one of the funnest and most inspiring days I've had as a volunteer. This year, my friend Kemeny, who has worked with Free The Children and Me To We, invited me along to this year's event. We Day is always such an inspiring moment. I received another book (which I really

Big Brother 14: Final Three

The season is over and a winner is crowned. Three months have just flown by and with the exception of maybe one rare week, Big Brother 14 was an eventful season. Whether you liked the blindsides or the mist, the final three performed well for a Big Brother season. In a landslide final vote, 21 year old engineering student Ian Terry defeated 28 year old Catholic school teacher Dan Gheesling by

Movie Review: Resident Evil: Retribution

Sequels can be a hit or miss but when it's part of a series I love, I don't mind watching the film when it comes out. Originally, I had planned to write this piece in a more descriptive post. However, since there has been some time since I've seen the film and when it came out, I've decided to create this as a smaller review. This mini review is for the fifth sequel in this action-horror franc

Tuesday Tunes 12

Tuesday only means one thing: I'm watching a discount movie tonight. Though on a serious note, it's also the next edition of my Tuesday feature. Every Tuesday (or whenever on a day I feel like searching around YouTube), I find three videos that feature music in one way or another. A music video, parody or even a segment from a television episode or movie. Sometimes I find an old song from t

Big Brother 14: Shane Is Evicted

The finale is only a couple of days away and the final 3 have been chosen. Unfortunately for this unlucky houseguest, he was blindsided with only one week to go. It's one thing to be evicted in the first few weeks but to make it (almost) the entire three months and get evicted near the end must be a bitter pill to swallow. He played a pretty athletic game early on and surprisingly was a member o

Big Brother 14: Jenn Is Evicted

Two houseguests were evicted this week but the first was eliminated days earlier. She has played the role of floater quite well until she chose a side after being nominated on the block. Unbeknownst to the majority of viewers, nobody really noticed her until the numbers started to dwindle. It's a great strategy that has worked well in the past. Since this evicted houseguest has been voted o

Movie Review: The Possession

Another horror movie review and this one has a supernatural element to it. Every year there seems to be a new movie about someone being possessed by an evil spirit. It usually involves a priest, a worried family and a child or teen being the target of the ghost. A little bit cookie-cutter but I gave the film a shot; besides a good horror movie is a reminder that Halloween is coming. This mini

Big Brother 14: Joe Is Evicted

Frank was the first person to go during the double eviction but another soon followed. This houseguest has equally been placed on the block multiple times and ranks as the biggest floater this season. While I won't miss his yelling in the diary room, he never had a shot to win. Surprisingly, he was an alternate since another male houseguest backed out from playing - glad he got a shot which oth

Big Brother 14: Frank Is Evicted

The second double eviction of the season has sent another two houseguests packing. What may have been a surprise to a few, one of the biggest threats this season was finally eliminated. The first houseguest eliminated in the night has been on the block almost every week (except when he won Head of Household) and the players have kicked themselves for not taking the opportunity to get rid of hi

Big Brother 14: Britney Is Evicted

Three down and only one coach is left. Would it be surprising to say that only a few weeks ago, the same veterans had chosen to revoke their coach status to become players? Ironically, this evicted veteran was the first to press the reset button. She was an underdog in her true right and played the game aggressively to redeem the embarrassment from her previous season. Blindsided and bitter

Big Brother 14: Ashley Is Evicted

A double eviction can spell a quick end for the chance at the prize. Unfortunately for this player, she was the unlucky one to get the boot. She was a consistant floater but when she finally choose a side and started to play the game, it proved to be a terrible mistake. The only bright side of being evicted at this point is that she will be the first member of the Jury. The Big Brother Jury
