  • Nic Cage Rant Part Deux: Back With A Vengeance

    I decided to pull a Nic Cage and make a sequel. For those of you who have yet to hear my rant on Nic Cage and his laughable excuses for cinema, please check out my previous blog post before you dive into the scary world that is Nicolas Cage’s movie career. You’ve been warned. It’s Read more

  • Ali Rewrites Famous Movies

    Have you ever watched a movie and thought to yourself, “That is so unrealistic?” Well, I do… A LOT. This doesn’t make me dislike said movies, it’s just gets me thinking about what would happen if the plot were more realistic. Below are my comments on the subject: The Mighty Ducks: I’m sorry, but as Read more

  • You are Remarkably Made

    Growing up, I always had great self-esteem. I knew I was cute, smart, and well-liked. I worked as a teen model for the likes of JC Penny’s and Dillard’s and, due to being a twin, was constantly being told I was “ADORABLE”. I considered myself a contrarian, my mind firmly set against being a “normal Read more

  • Sports that Should be Added to the Olympics

    Since when is skeet shooting an olympic sport? I’m not against the idea, especially seeing as the good ‘ole USA won gold in the women’s and men’s competition, I just wish someone would have told me.

  • Miss Independent

    I have always prized myself on being self-sufficient. I love learning about the mechanics of things, how things work, how to build or repair things, how to balance my budget, etc. I feel like knowing these things will equip and allow me to take on life’s little (and not so little) challenges. I get a thrill when I complete a task Read more

  • Twinless

    After 22 years of living with my twin (and best friend), I am now officially ‘twinless’. Ok ok, so she just moved to Houston, but it has been a pretty big change in my life. I can hear a couple “I told you so”s coming my way, but before you start lecturing me on how Read more

  • Dorm Room Tiramisu Pie

    I like to bake and I like to cook which are two things you can’t really do while living in a dorm. I lived in on-campus housing for the entirety of my college career so I learned to get creative. Tiramisu is delicious but it’s also a pain-staking process that takes hours and hours to prepare. Many restaurants make their tiramisu a Read more

  • A Double Standard

    On the way to work this morning, every radio station was talking about the big premiere tonight. If you hadn’t already heard, “Magic Mike” opens tonight in a theater near you, chronicling the life of a male stripper, played by Channing Tatum. Radio hosts were proclaiming tonight ‘Ladies Night’ due to the expected exodus of Read more
