"Peace is unstable where citizens are denied the right to speak freely or worship as they please; choose their own leaders or assemble without fear. ... A just peace includes not only civil and political rights _ it must encompass economic security and opportunity. For true peace is not just freedom from fear, but freedom from want." -President Barack Obama

So proud. Peace on Earth!

and I'm always going to want to blow your mind...

When I first heard Train was back with a new song, I laughed. Train? Really?? But I am not going to lie, this song "Hey, Soul Sister" is unbelievably catchy and kind of heartwarming. My friend Brett mentioned he liked it and I finally gave the song a try and was slightly in love. I just love when artists come up with new lyrics and a new way to profess their love. Give it a listen above!


P.S Vevo- new version of youtube- all music videos on HD= AWESOME!

Reblogged from La Dolce Vita. I like this quote a lot today. I need to acquire this mentality.

I miss you.

This song is amazing. I loved it so much last season when it came out and once again winter rolls around and I want to hear this over and over again. I think this is such a fitting mood for the winter. Although the holidays are cheerful, the season itself is rather depressing--at least in my opinion. Sara and Ingrid's voice compliment each other so well. I just love everything about this song and adorable video!!

Reblogged from now what?

This was quite touching.

2009 International Emmy's

It's been quite a while...sorry!

But while I was gone for a while I did get to be a talent escort at the International Emmy's this year. To my surprise, I was asked to escort what my boss called "the terrible trio." I was surprised because it was my first year and I was asked to escort three guests, while most veterans were only asked to escort one. I suppose she found me qualified to do the job then! Now my friends who got me this gig, have mentioned that there were usually not many A listers- or at least anyone worth anything at the Emmys. However, I was handed my terrible trio to discover I was escorting Alexa Chung- MTV VJ, Moby- infamous singer from back in the day, and my favorite- Ed Westwick. Yes, that's right, I got to walk side by side with one and only, Mr. C huck Bass. Now if you watch Gossip Girl at all you know this is HUGE. Ed Westwick is gorgeous and his accent is brilliant/to die for. Unfortunately they wre called the terrible trio for a reason. They were all brought in with obnoxious publicist and talent agents who allowed them to say two words and photograph for a hot sec. They're appearance at the Emmy's was made and then they were off! However, it was still fun to say I was in the presence of such hottness. Oh and I also walked right by THE Miss Barbara Walters :)

Here are some pics from that night:




P.S. Alexa was nice, even though I can't really stand her. She really needs to eat a burger too.
