Oh The Places We'll Go

A good friend of mine once said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it". Ok yes that was Ferris Bueller and no we are not good friends, but it's still good advice for the up and coming young person. We're growing, we're changing and we all have a lot of questions: does this outfit make me look fat, when's the new T-Swift album coming out, they're so hot do they even know I exist? They're all toughies and probably better answered by grabbing a tub of ice cream and watching "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" (s/o Emma Watson), but since you're here we'll see what we can come up with. Fear not because I’m going to throw you a rope and save you from the stormy waters of your confused teenage existence!

Over the next few months I’m going to be bringing you two segments a week covering everything from music to fashion to the big questions. Got a topic you want covered? Feel free to leave a comment; ideas are always welcome.

Since we like to keep things relevant here why not start off with something every teen was watching this past weekend: The Oscars. Ah yes the red carpet, the celebrities, the dresses and the awards always make for an exceptionally entertaining event. This year however didn’t hold many surprises (except Jennifer Lawrence’s failure to make it up the steps) as far as awards went. If you’ve seen or at least heard much of the buzz surrounding this years favorite stars and their respective films then you’d agree credit was given where it was deserved. This years host Seth Macfarlane did, I would say, quite a good job (not high expectations for the creator of Family Guy) with a little help from Captain Kirk (William Shatner) returned from the future to lend him a hand. I think we were all at least slightly impressed with Mr. Macfarlane’s vocal talents in several musical numbers. Also performing with Macfarlane on stage were Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Daniel Radcliffe and Channing Tatum with Charlize Theron. Now we could spend all night arguing about how many substances Quentin Tarantino had abused before the ceremonies but I don’t think we’d ever be able to come up with the whole list so I’ll just end things here by saying of The Oscars “We cried and we laughed and had a really really really good time” (Macklemore, And We Danced).
