"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Wilhelm Göring

I could not stop laughing throughout the entire film.
Seth and Even are two high school best friends who are about to graduate and move on to two different colleges. For one final school blowout party, the pair of nerds try to buy alcohol to get some girls drunk who will then hopefully sleep with them.
I had a dream that I was watching the finale of American Idol. I was in the audience but it was an outside venue because the crowd had grew to the size of a football stadium. I swear I was just at an outdoor concert in the summer. None of the contestants are people that I’ve seen before and all of the songs were songs I’ve never heard before. They each had a special celebrity guest that they could use in their performance to help out with tv ratings. 1 girl was singing a western song and had Brad Pitt riding a mechanical bull while she sang.
The show was great and I was having fun mingling with the people in the crowd until I hear some people pass me and say, “You better vote for my favorite.” There were thugs in the crowd trying to convince us to vote for their singer. Next thing I heard was “FIGHT FIGHT!” I walked over to where the crowd fled from and saw 3 dead bodies lying on the ground.
Ryan Seacrest stopped the show and told the crowd that since the voters were threatened by death if they didn’t vote a certain way and since there were actual fatalities, the show was canceled. He made the announcement and then ran behind stage and began climbing. The crowd turned into an angry mob and started to rush the stage. Ryan reached the top of the stage and a helicopter threw down a rope to him. He barely escaped the crowd. While the helicopter was trying to reel him in, the mob found a rope and was trying to throw it at Ryan Seacrest, missing him by inches.
The person that was reeling Ryan in was Mario Lopez.
But in my dream he had coral colored lipstick on. The gayest color a man could ever wear. Turns out that there were crips, bloods, and punks in the competition who decided to win by any means necessary. No convictions were made.

Contrary to popular belief, you are in control of our life. You may believe, based on what you have been taught, that other people have at least some control over your destiny.
We want you to understand that this is not the case…unless you allow it to be.
You may have learned to expect life to be difficult, limiting, and unrewarding. Now is your chance to unlearn that, grow, and succeed.
The following list will help guide you through taking back control over your life. It’s a lot of information so I would suggest printing it out or bookmarking it so you can return on a regular basis and remind yourself what you are trying to accomplish.
It might be an understatement to say that Janelle Monáe Robinson is quirky. She’s been known to rock her customary beret and Uggs in the middle of a summer blaze. And you might be overreacting if you say she’s unpatriotic (“I really want to move to France. There’s something about their cul- ture that seems so free”). But one thing is certain: This 19-year-old singer/songwriter marches to the beat of her own drum. “I’m an advocate of leading by example and taking risks,” says Monáe from a sofa inside the Purple Ribbon Entertainment studios. “I have a hard time boxing myself in.” Monáe’s maverick mind-set is no doubt a direct manifestation of not wanting to settle for a second-rate lifestyle while growing up in the rural Midwest. Even before she made her connection with Big Boi in 2005, Monáe was on a collision course with fame. At 16, she studied at New York’s American Musical and Dramatic Academy while also dabbling in a few Off-Broadway plays. Restless and starving for a larger platform to showcase her talents, Monáe ditched the Big Apple for Atlanta in 2004. “I felt constricted doing Off- Broadway,” she says. “I didn’t see a lot of roles for myself, so I figured I’d come out with an album and create my own character.” Monáe hit the ATL college circuit and developed a cultlike following before becom- ing the first lady of Purple Ribbon. And if her two vivacious ’80s-inspired dance grooves, “Time Will Reveal” and “Lettin’ Go” (featured on Big Boi Presents…Got Purp? Vol. II), are any indication, Monáe’s upcoming album, Metrop- olis, is poised to bring an eclectic, urbane feel to today’s R&B.What else would you expect from an artist who counts, among others, OutKast, Fiona Apple, and Lauryn Hill as her inspirations? “All those people inspired me to be unique,” she says. “At the end of the day, you don’t have to sell sex.” Maybe you won’t see Monáe running around with her T&A on display, but you can’t help but be attracted to her free spirit. “I’ll never sell out like that,” she says. “As an artist, you have to have core values that you stick to. I’m not trying to conform to fit in.” Do yourself a favor and follow her lead.
