 Money Ideas, August 20, 2015
Money Master The Game; 7 Steps To Financial Freedom by Tony Robbins caught my attention due to my own interest in simultaneously increasing my savings and income. There is some informative and animating information in here such as how people making at least $750,000 or more plan to never retire on pages 34-35(due to doing work that is either a match for their passions and/or income aspirations), page 183 getting past one’s own beliefs/fears/getting to a better state etc,the case study of one of Robbin’s friends who has had a successful career as a screenwriter (page 194) and his interviews with different money masters as well as more details. I admit that this book also caught my attention because I’m in a situation where I’ve already accepted (regardless of other’s judgements) that my student loans may possibly only be repaid by around the year 2035. However, increasing my personal savings and personal income is a top priority for me because the standard advice for my husband and I to live with family members would not benefit us because they live in states where it is extremely even more competitive and more complicated just to get a minimum wage job (compared to where my husband and I live). Yes, it is common knowledge that there are many ambitious and hardworking adults that save more money to live with their families. However, it is also common knowledge that there are some adult people who have also moved in with family members but were not able to get back to living on their own due for whatever various reasons having navigating the cost of living and availability of jobs (and I notice that they are rarely given a public voice in the media compared to the other group). Additionally, the one thing that I intuitively do know is that it is my destiny to legally do whatever I can to ensure we (my husband and I) are able to continue to independently live on our own regardless of how I’m judged.

Amorous Dance Trance Tune, August 20, 2015
Anthem by Filo and Peri (Original Vox Mix)is a meaningful love song about the singer remembering a person who impacted his heart in a powerful way by admitting that the song is about a girl in his life who got away. The upbeat dance music and the ardent lyrics of the song culminate in a tune that symbolize a rapturous aspect of being in love. I admit that I first heard of the song through the pride radio station on iheartradio.

Salsa and Dance Unite, August 20, 2015
Sway by the Pussycat Dolls is a song that celebrates the whole idea of dance and moving to a beat. Sway combines elements of salsa, dance, and pop. Due to the unique and direct nature of Sway, this song is best for those who have previously liked and/or enjoyed the songs such as Don’t Cha and/or When I Grow Up.

Brilliant Mix of Electronic, Dance, and R&B, August 20, 2015
Come To Me by Sean Diddy Combs featuring Nicole Scherzinger is another song that I also heard around 2006/2007. The woman in the song is basically saying that she is romantically interested in a man but that he must get to know her first before she decides how to proceed next. This is also another brilliant music collaboration that I’m very surprised did not get more attention around the time it was released on the radio in the area of Florida where I lived (through the navy).

R&B song involving the complexity of Love, August 20, 2015
Last Night by Diddy feat. Keyshia Cole is a song that I first heard around 2006/2007 when I was living in Florida. The vocals and collaboration between Keyshia Cole and Diddy create a powerful dramatic song about the complexities of love and a person coming to terms with what is going on in their love life.

Dance And High Energy Pop Tune, August 20, 2015
Do It by Nelly Furtado is a song that I first became familiar with after seeing it featuring on an MTV Europe music awards show around 2006/2007 (I think it might have been an MTV music awards show in Germany). Basically Do It by Nelly Furtado is a song about being around someone who makes your heart race and/or gives you butterflies in your stomach (metaphorically speaking).

Dance and R&B Come Hither Tune, August 20, 2015
Love Sex Magic by Ciara feat. Justin Timberlake is a daring song that touches on being with a person that pretty much makes your heart and/or pulse race. Basically, the song appears to also be about pursuing someone through the lense of an outgoing personality due to the lyrics being symbolized on what they plan to do with each other.

Feeling Vibrant/Excitement of Life, August 20, 2015

Seeing the Positive In Life Regardless of Suprises?, August 20, 2015
Lucky by Lucky Twice is a song that contains good vocals and appears to be another euro-dance song that is also most enjoyable for a person who is either secure in their love life and/or accepts their love life. This is because the song deals with a singer getting past the shock of their love life turning out differently than expected.

Catchy Bluegrass and Indie Rock Tune, August 20, 2015
Renegades by the X Ambassadors appears to be a tune about living life without apologies and marching to the beat of one’s own dream and making the best out of life. The song is also a respectful ode to people considered eccentric such as with the lyrics all hail to the underdogs.

However, the various unique moments in their life does not compare to how a certain person has made them feel since they appeared in their life.

Gleaming Hits, August 20, 2015
PrizeFighter Hit After Hit by Trisha Yearwood is a collection of 16 profound country hits on one cd. I am previously a little familiar with some of Trisha Yearwood’s music because around the time I was 11 or 12 there was a brief period where my late adoptive mother and older adoptive sister would frequently play the songs She’s In Love With The Boy and That’s What I Like About You (probably from a cassette that one of them had). She shows a vast emotional range on the cd with both her duets such as Prizefighter feat. Kelly Clarkson, Walkaway Joe (feat. Don Henley), and In Another’s Eyes (feat. her husband Garth Brooks) as well as the non-duets with tunes such as I Remember You, Perfect Love, How Do I Live etc.

Mos (Ministry of Sound); BBC Radio 1’s Dance Anthems Ibiza is a two disc set of twenty songs on each disc that run a festive music feel of genres mixed from Trance, Dance, and Electronic. Various artists are featured on here (Avicii, Tiesto, Nero, Royksopp and Robyn, Coldplay, Calvin Harris, Alesso, Hurts, David Guetta, Showtek, Vassy, Lana Del Rey, Duke Dumont, Jax Jones, Basement Jaxx and more. My only caveat is that the vocals used for Avicii’s Lay Me Down song are ok, yet I was surprised to not hear the version that contains Adam Lambert’s vocals.

From The Beauty Section of My Job, August 20, 2015
I preface this review by acknowledging that I understand that men and women of various hair types and lengths epitomize beauty. As for me I prefer to keep my hair longer because it is actually easier to get a wide variety of hairstyles out of my length on my income and the amount of time I have to wash, condition, and style my hair (I have hair that must be washed and conditioned at least 5-7 times a week regardless of whether I chemically straighten it or keep it curly and regardless of hair length). This Clairol Herbal Essences Long-Term Relationship Hair conditioner (23.7 ounces) is listed to contain juicy pomegranate essences and is perfect for moisturizing hair. I enjoy the pleasant fruity fragrance that it leaves on my hair.

Iconic Pop Tune, August 20, 2015
I first heard of the classic song of Downtown by Petula Clark around the time I was 8 years old when my late adoptive mother was playing this song in the car with other family members and I present (on our way to what I think was some type of family party). Anyhow the lyrics evoke a blithe and lighthearted mood because it is a positive tune about getting outside and enjoying the sights and sounds of downtown when a person is exposed to the natural tests of life.

Musical Boots, August 20, 2015

Song Expression, August 20, 2015
Melophobia by Cage The Elephant is a rock musical set that I was curious to hear after listening to some of their music featured on a local rock radio station and due to my husband greatly enjoying the song Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked. Anyhow Melophobia has the sentimental and strong Cigarette Daydreams and Come A Little Closer on the Melophobia collection. The indie rock vibe of Black Widow and uniqueness of Teeth added to the strength of Melophobia by Cage The Elephant as well.

A Final Masterpiece From The Late Aaliyah, August 20, 2015
Aaliyah by Aaliyah is a music set that combines romantic sensibility with moments of creating entertainment out of life. I greatly enjoy the songs One In A Million and Try Again and it is good to see More Than A Woman in this collection (because More Than A Woman is a radiant love song in a similar spirit as Try Again and One In A Million). We Need A Resolution (Featuring Timbaland) and Rock The Boat are also gratifying songs, although I was pleasantly surprised on how musically strong the rest of the songs on the Aaliyah by Aaliyah set was as well. I’m a little bit previously familiar with Aaliyah’s music because she was extremely popular during the time I was in middle school and I remember seeing her Romeo Must Die movie during my senior year of high school and a few months before I went away to bootcamp (through the U.S. navy).

Love Reimagined?, August 20, 2015
X by Ed Sheeran is a romantic music set containing many of the quirky tunes that are currently pretty popular such as Singing, Thinking Out Loud, and Photograph. There are also some meaningful tunes that as far as I know have not yet received ample radio play but are still enjoyable to listen to such as Afire Love.

My Husband's Movie Soundtrack Music Collection, August 20, 2015
O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack is a music set that my husband first purchased (around the time that the movie was released)when he was still stationed in Iceland (during his time in the navy). There are multiple songs on the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack that are elevating (my personal favorite song on this cd is Track number 8 Keep On The Sunny Side while my husband’s favorite track from this soundtrack (even with my husband’s naturally optimistic disposition)is number five I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow. Overall, the O Brother Where Are Thou soundtrack is good for either people who are eclectic music lovers and/or those who liked the O Brother Where Art Thou movie.

Drama and Suspense Combined, August 20, 2015
I admit that one of the reasons why I saw the Captain Phillips movie had to do with the fact that I happened to still be in the navy (stationed in Norfolk Virginia) when the incident surrounding the MV Maerks Alabama occurred, and as with millions of others I heard of the story (that this movie is based on) through the news media. The Captain Phillips movie opens with Captain Richard Phillips himself (Tom Hanks) and his wife Andrea Phillips (Andrea Keener) getting ready for work in Underhill Vermont and leaving around the same time as they discuss various matters surrounding what is going on in their life. The movie also shows the area (Eyl Somalia) where the pirates such as Abduwali Muse (Barkhad Abdi)and Nour Najee (Faysal Ahmed) gathered. The Captain Phillips movie showed that even before MV Maersk Alabama disembarked from the Salalah Port Oman that Captain Phillips himself wanted many of the entrances to the ship closed the night before it went underway at sea. Before the pirates embarked the ship Captain Phillips and his crew initially tried calling U.S. Maritime Emergency but nobody picked up. However, they then called the Martime Trade Operations in Dubai and then got ahold of the U.S. Maritime Emergency line (In Northwood UK) the next day. The movie also has references to USS Bainbridge, USS Halyburton, and men from a Seal Staging base in Virginia that were all necessary to dispatch to deal with what happened. The situation was extremely serious to the point where communications between Admiral Michelle Howard and one of the ship’s commanding officers was orchestrated in a way to carry out a plan that was necessary to help prevent Captain Phillips from reaching the shores of his capturers. A medical professional by the last name of O’Brien was seen treating Captain Phillips during the movie and towards the end the following information is listed; Richard Phillips returned to Vermont on April 17, 2009 and was reunited with his family. Abduwali Muse was convicted of piracy and is currently serving 33 years at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute Indiana.

An Unexpected Discovery, August 20, 2015
Truthfully, I was looking for another dvd at my job to watch when I unexpectedly came across this movie. The Grand Budapest Hotel contains various action sequences that definitely keep you on the edge wanting to find out more. The front of the dvd cover has multiple famous celebrity names that are attached to this movie (Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Jude Law, Owen Wilson and more names etc). The Grand Budapest Hotel opens with a popular and gifted concierge named Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes) who is shown saying farewell to a wealthy and refined older lady named Madame D who loves him very much (Tilda Swinton). Gustave H also takes a young apprentice named Zero (Tony Revolori) under his wing. Gustave’s life starts to change dramatically after Madame D dies. Clues start to abound on what Gustave could be in for once he meets Madame D’s son Dmitri. Gustave admits to Dimitri of a relationship with Madame D that was more than just friends. However, Dimitri does not offer any sympathy to Gustave and rather chastises him for his romantic preferences for both men and women (through this scene alone the movie starts to paint the emotional tension that is starting between Dimitri and Gustave). The Special Features of this dvd include Mendl’s Secret Recipe (they actually show how to make one of the dessert confections from the movie), Cast and Wes Anderson’s Featurettes, and Stills Gallery.

Shaun The Sheep and Company’s Adventures, August 20, 2015
Shaun the Sheep The movie was an obvious choice for both my husband and I because it was my husband himself who introduced me to the Shaun the Sheep series around 2009 (when we lived in Orlando, Florida). Anyhow, Shaun the Sheep ends up being a movie about Shaun The Sheep having to mastermind rescuing his farmer after a vehicle the farmer sleeps in goes into the city. What complicates matters is that Shaun the Sheep and his group have to navigate around a fanatical animal control worker named Trumper.

A Quick and Allaying 82 Page Read, August 20, 2015
Notes From Heaven by Robert Frandeen is a book that author apparently written from communications that he transcribed from a spirit in heaven. It is a quick read that does send a positive message that a person who believes in the spirit realm is not alone while they are truly on earth. There is riveting insight that I gleaned from this book that basically implies that heaven is actually a place where many of the spirits are actually engaged in some type of meaningful work.
I recently had the lemon strawberry French toast from this Columbia Heights ihop (along with eggs, sausage, bacon, hashbrowns with cheese and a sierra mist drink)which turned out to be toothsome. The server was also friendly and made sure that we (a friend that I went with)got our food in a reasonable timeframe. However, the cost and having to control what I eat are the only two reasons why I only go to Ihop occasionally.
