The power of Madonna



I know this is the second time this week I'm talking about the Glee show but I was so touched by this I had to post it. This video is taken from the episode titled "The power of Madonna" and I got me thinking about how much madonna truly helped the world through music.

The first madonna video I ever watched was "Hung up" and it took me by suprise. It seemed kinda old school but still really energetic. It just looked like everything music should be.

I love music with beats, and sounds that make you wanna move every inch of your body but one thing I always noticed about madonna's music and one thing this video made me fully realise is how she makes you feel free. I just has this weird effect on you.

There's a lot more I want to say about madonna but nothing solid is really coming to mind. You guys should check out this video and tell me what you feel.

The Unbearable lightness of being


I found out how television can really open your eyes towards things. I'm a huge fan of gossip girl and I constantly find myself influenced by a lot of things from that show, (in a positive way). I even heard two of my favourite songs for the first time on it.

My most recent source of inspiration came from the title of the latest episode which as some of you might now is, "The Unblairable lightness of being". Gossip girl episodes are always named after really popular things with just slight modifications to make them refer to the show. One of the many examples are "Inglourious Bassterds" and "The Empire strikes Jack".

The name of the latest episode was taken from an old book titled "The Unbearable lightness of being" by Milan Kundera. Its a tale set in the Czechoslovak Communist period of 1968. It explores the artistic and intellectual life of Czech society from the Prague Spring to the Soviet Union’s 1968 invasion. I've already ordered the book online and can't wait to read it, not only because of where I heard about it from, but also because I realised how little I know about that time. I hope some of you out there might try looking it up to.

Rotary International


Just thinking about the meaning of philanthropy. What is better?, money or effort. Is it better to donate money to a cause or to invest a lot of effort into it. naturally the first thing that comes to mind is that money is better, but upon further thought I've begun to doubt that. A lot of well known philanthropists always say that they feel a lot better after personally helping out those in need but that doesn't necessarily mean more for the people they're helping. I joined the Rotaract club in my school today. It's an organization geared towards philanthropy and helping people around the world. I just hope I can stay dedicated towards it and maybe find out for my self which form of philanthropy is better.

The Colour green

My favorite color has always been green,
It symbolizes all I am and all I have seen.

Whether I see it in leaves, clothes or eyes,
Its as if a part of me just sprouts wings and flies.

I don't know if it makes me seem without life or vigor,
All I know is that I am completely defined by that 1 color.

Green is life, Green is free, Green is calm,
and that is all I am and all I ever want to become.


Restarting my blogging experience

I used to blog a long time ago but then my mom discouraged me from doing so after telling me all the dangers associated with it. I now want to restart it but will not post different things. Before I used to write all about myself and just vent out on the world but now I'm gonna use it to show my creativity. Ive always loved writing poems and stories and now I'm gonna show them off to the world so if you're following me you'll be in for some big treats.
