they're all full of guts, that's something in their nature

100% Egyptian, Represent.

Egypt

Egypt is experiencing a revolution unlike they have ever seen. The people have united to riot against their government. With the President and his regime in control for the last 30 years, the people have seen and had enough. They are ready for a change and for their voice to be heard. Sadly he riots and demonstrations are becoming large in numbers and a few have turned violent. As an Egyptian, I support the protesters. I support change and the freedom in making decisions especially when it comes to your government and how you are ruled. Power to the People! I really hope this all settles down soon though and that they can agree on a peaceful outcome.

Sadly, my family and I were supposed to fly out In February to see our realtives we haven't seen in years, but I am not sure that is going to happen. With the US Department issuing an advisory to not fly out at this time, we are hesitating on risking anything. However, its been a long time coming for us to visit our homeland and so we are crossing fingers that things will get better.

Until then, I pray for the government to hear their people out and for mu family to remain safe.

MASR OM EL DONYA!

FRIDAY!

Happy Friday Ya'll!

I don't know why I just used ya'll because Lord knows I am not even close to being southern, but sometimes its just fun to say ya'll! Anywho, I have a lovely weekend planned filled with shabbat dinner, game night, and girlfriend reunions! Hope ya'll ;) have fun stuff planned to help seize the winter blues!! I'll leave you with this cute image...

Hallelujah

I can assuredly say that "Hallejuah" is by far one of my favorite songs ever. Whenever it comes on my iPod, it's nearly impossible to turn it off. It's been sung so many times but so many various artists and yet I still love that passion the song embodies.

Here are a few of my favorite versions of this song.

-Jeff Buckley

-Imogen Heap

-Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris

-K.D. Lang

and of course, Rufus Wainwright

M83- "we own the sky"

Adele "Rolling in the Deep" What a voice.

Happy Friday!

how. freakin. cute. Alexa and Jorge are seriously becoming my new favorite duo. It's so nice to see a father jam out with his daughter. Brings me joy.

ew.

"You know sometimes the public and press gets it wrong. This is one of those times. 2010 was actually the best year of my life because I fell in love with my best friend. An amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs," James told People.com. "I have never met anyone so kind and loving and committed to making the world a better place every day. My love for her is beyond description. So honored that she said 'yes.' Growing old with her is going to be a f----n' blast!"-Jesse James, on getting engaged to Kat Von D.

TEAM SANDRA BULLOCK FO' LIFE!

actors are real people too.

I love this interview done in W Magazine. Justin cries at the Lion King too. We'd totally be perfect together. ;) Enjoy!

baby I got a plan, runaway as fast as you can...

I'm totally in lurvee with the new Kanye West Album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy." I know you're probably wondering "where the hell have you been for the last month or so," but on this slow snowy work day, I actually sat down an listened to the whole cd and was just WOWed. The music is sooo good that you cannot help but want to dance or keep listening! "Lost in the World" f/ Bon Iver is brilliant and has been on repeat. I included his 'short film' for Runaway because you can get a taste of a lot of the songs and also the video is pretty epic. As much as Kanye comes off as a douchebag, his music is really not like any other.

love.
