PROS & CONS of Valentines Day!


PRO
  1. People are a lot happier/nicer.
  2. Lots of red everywhere.
  3. Another reason to decorate. 
  4. Seeing little old men walking around with flowers.
  5. Couples dressed up.
  6. People actually thinking of their significant other.
  7. Flowers and chocolates.
  8. Kids excitement over giving valentines in school.
  9. Valentines cards on the internet are hilarious and way better then store ones.
  10. Working to make everyone's night special.
  11. WE get to spend the day or night doing something fun.
  12. Love in the air.

CON
  1. Leading up to the day people are stressed about making it perfect.
  2. Aggressively pink items everywhere. 
  3. Everything says "I Love You" on it. 
  4. Having last minute shoppers get mad at you for not having the present they want.
  5. Couples overly dressed up. (Suits/heels to paint pottery or movies is a bit much)
  6. Buying something just because you have to for valentines day.
  7. Giant teddy bears.
  8. Being an adult and nobody gives out little valentines anymore.
  9. People not understanding why you bought funny valentines card online for yourself.
  10. WORKING to make everyone's night special.
  11. Guys are expected to plan and pay for everything. (Not true for everyone but I know some girls who do.)
  12. Being with someone because you are scared you'll never find anyone else.... in the air.

These aren't all of them but rather the ones I thought up at the moment. I like and dislike V-day. I am more a fan when it is genuine or even punny and not so much when it is forced. I don't think valentines day needs to be filled with an expensive night out or even gifts not that those are terrible things and don't show love but people should live within their means and do something they will enjoy together. 


Just some thoughts this V-day.

Horns Movie Review (Spoilers!)

HORNS

First time watching

Jumped twice

Didn't cry

The best part about this movie is that they keep you guessing on who killed the girl. I always make a prediction right at the start of the movie when you get introduced to the first few characters that way I can see if the movie went the obvious root or if they twist it making you think it is one guy but really another. My prediction at the beginning of the movie was Daniel Radcliffe's characters brother was wrong. Throughout the movie you get more and more suspicious of everyone. 

Throughout the movie you cringe quite a few times when people are "confessing their sins" to the main character. Some of the confessions are hilarious but others it is quite awkward to hear. Especially the the confessions of his parents to him. Those ones are bad. 

Nudity alert! 
You definitely see penis in this movie and boobs. For anyone who chooses movies for that reason.

The horns. The actual horns are so bad ass looking. Obviously painful looking as well but oh my goodness through out the movie they grow bigger and bigger. It is so majestic looking even though they are meant to portray "the devil".

Seven Sins (in my opinion) 
Wrath- Main character throughout the movie
Sloth- His brother is slow to speak up and stand by him.
Greed- Waitress lying for financial gain
Pride- His parents disowning him
Lust & Envy- Best friend the whole movie
Gluttony- Girl eating all the donuts just to get fat because nobody likes her

There are obviously more this movie is riddled with sins and craziness but that is kind of the best part about it. 

Also there is an awesome tree house!
