Ticket Winner

This past Thursday I was lucky enough to be my local rock radios 25th caller. I won tickets to attend an In This Moment concert in my city. I am 27 years old and I had never been to a rock concert. But that all changed on Friday April 27, 20018.

That night I got out of work, picked up the two tickets I had won, picked up my sister and attended The Witching Hour tour.

Three bands preformed that night. DED, The Word Alive, and headlining the concert the one the only In This Moment!!! I had never heard of the other two bands but they were pretty good but I was there for Maria Brink aka one of my lady crushes lol.

Unfortunately I was not able to stay the whole concert. Despite not staying the whole concert I can say I thoroughly enjoyed environment for thst concert the whole time I was there.

I hope one day I'm able to attend another In This Moment concert beginning to end.

Arrow Review: Season 2

Season 2 of Arrow begins with Felicity and John Diggle looking for Oliver.

Where is he?? Well after the death of his best friend, Tommy, Oliver exiled himself to Lian Yu (aka purgatory).

Eventually, Queen returns to Starling City but soon discovers that the city is in worse shape after the Undertaking.

Slade Wilson is Oliver’s foe in this season. So Slade Wilson and Oliver met on Lian Yu. They forged a bond through their time on the island and considered themselves brothers, but in order to save his life after some severe wounds, Wilson (later becoming Deathstroke) was injected with a super-soldier serum known as The Mirakuru (aka Miracle). This serum was created in WWII by the Japanese to enhance the physical abilities of their soldiers.

I’m not going to spoil anything so I’m not going to reveal why the reason Slade wants to kill Oliver so badly. But I will say the reason was something that happened on the island.

But of course, Slade isn’t the only one causing trouble. We are introduced to some new faces along with some old ones running amuck in Oliver's city.

The verdict??

This show was already pretty awesome by the end of season one in my opinion but season two achieved some next level awesomeness. Plus we got to meet the main reason why I started watching Arrow in the first place which was Barry Allen (aka the Flash before the Flash).

Arrow Review: Season 1

On Thursday evening I turned to Netflix to begin my next binge adventure. It took me three days but it is finally done. I binged all 23 episodes of Arrow’s season 1, which focuses on the DC character of Green Arrow.

In season one we were introduced to Oliver Queen who was shipwrecked on a deserted island for five years. He was then rescued by a passing boat and made it back home to Starling City. Queen returned but not as the same spoiled billionaire playboy he once was but a changed man, set on cleaning up the city as a hooded vigilante armed with a bow and arrows.

I did have my doubts about this series. I suppose that was the reason I waited over five years to actually sit down and watch it. After diving into The Flash and Supergirl I felt compelled to re-enter the Arrowverse and give this series a fair shot. With all of that, I do have to say that I was surprised by the series.

The show in itself was entertaining but the flashbacks to the island where Oliver was stranded were my favorite parts of the show. It gave me a peek into the ordeal he endured those five years away from Starling City. By the season finale, everything had been put into place and was being done extraordinarily well. Overall, the first season did a great job of creating an intriguing comic book TV show that I have every reason to stick with. I truly am excited to continue my Netflix binge onto season 2.

I think I will skip giving season 1 a rating, at least for now, but will review each season until I am up to date. For now, just take my word for it when I say that series is worth watching.

We just outgrow some people. Sometimes a good relationship will end and we don’t ever really have a good explanation. But when that happens, accept the shift and change - and understand that sometimes we must dig up our roots, and allow ourselves to be replanted in new soil.

Movie Review: Jeepers Creepers 3

“Every 23rd spring, for 23 days it gets to eat.”

So what does it get to eat exactly? Well it gets to eat us.

The antagonist of this movie franchise is an ancient demon-like creature, known as “the Creeper,” that eat human body parts, which then form parts of its own body when regeneration is needed.

I was 10 years old when I was first introduced to this creature in the horror film Jeepers Creepers. Flash forward 2 years later and I am 12 when the Creeper returns in Jeepers Creepers 2. The Creeper has been in my life for 16 years, so you could say that I was pretty excited when I heard rumors that my favorite creature was returning.

Saturday Night:

Syfy premieres the third installment. YESSSSS!! Jeepers Creepers 3!

My sisters DVRs it and we watch it a few hours after it airs.

One word I can use to describe what I felt after...no within the first 20 minutes of the movie. Disappointment.

There was no story at all. To me it seems like a bunch of scene takes edited together and labeled a movie. There was nothing that connected the scenes together.

I am the type of movie watcher that feels obligated to finish watching a film to the very end in hopes that the beginning is the only flaw. Nope the only flaw here was the movie in its entirety. It was so boring I almost fell asleep 25 minutes into this so called horror movie. I mean I could have forgiven many things such as the atrocious CGI and slow-motion effects for a good (at least decent) story line.

I am sorry but it’s a bad movie.

Overall I am giving this “film” a 1.5 out of 10.

3 A.M. Clarity

There are times that I stay up late at night and ponder over my own life. I am not perfect I have made some mistakes and I have plenty of regrets. I wish I could say you were one of them. I wish I could erase you, as you have me, or say you didn’t count. I wish I could say that I hope we had never met but I can’t. I can’t because despite what you did you and I happened. I will never want to take that little chapter of my life and throw it away. As I stay away late at night every now and then I get what I like to call my 3 A.M. clarity. I have realized that I need to keep you along with the pain and carry it with me, not to torture myself or pine over you, but to keep it as a reminded that I was able to do something I thought was never possible. I was able to love another person.

Reveal Myself ?

So lately I have been thinking of revealing my identity. The point of this tumblr was to remain anonymous. Here I my gender, my name, the details that are my life were all unknown. This is where I allowed myself to post my thoughts without being afraid of anyone I know stumbling across it and cause any problems if I ever revealed something or said anything that I didn’t want the people in my real life to know.

Events in my life this last few months made me wonder why exactly I give a f**k. This last year I fell in love and got heartbroken. That heartbreak made me stronger. I don’t give a sh*t anymore.

Well I have decided.....to reveal myself. I highly doubt anyone I know follows me or will stumble across this. Okay here goes nothing...

My name is Lina and I am from Texas hi ^_^

Movie Review: Some Freaks

So for the last few days I haven’t been able to sleep. To waste my time I have been binge watching a lot of Netflix and on demand movies/tv shows. I came across this one movie title which caught my attention.

Some Freaks captures the alienation that one-eyed Matt (Thomas Mann) plus-size Jill (Lily Mae Harrington). They meet very awkwardly (yet sweet and cute) while dissecting a pig in science class. This sparks a friendship that later transforms into love. After graduation Jill moves cross-country to go to college. Months later, to Matt's surprise when he arrives to visit her, Jill has undergone major physical transformation. Matt struggles to accept the new look Jill and she begins to question if Matt is the person she thought she knew. As the film progresses the characters confront who they are, who they were, and who everyone thinks they're supposed to be.

I love films such as these. I was alienated for my weight so I can sympathize with the characters that are Matt and Jill. Overall I give this movie a 97%.

Sleepless night yet again...

It’s in the AM and I can’t sleep. I have no idea why I can’t sleep. All I know is that I’m tired but not tired at the same time. Like my eyes hurt, my body aches, and there’s nothing to do yet my brain refuses to shut down. So I try to tire myself out by watching movies and random videos on YouTube...with no success. So now I’m just here at the dinner table sitting in front of my laptop typing this and drinking a cup of tea at 4:37 AM.

Don’t cheat. 

Don’t mess with people that you know have significant others. 

It really is that simple.
