 Potential 26th Century Reality, March 5, 2014
Letters From 500 by Robert Lee Potter contains some controversial information that my elicit strong emotions from others. The reason being: Letters From 500 depicts a future scenario of what could happen during a more peaceful period for earth civilizations (around the 2500s, the 26th century). However, this reality would still be different from what others may see happening:
Pages 45-47: Boundaries dissolve between nations and a greater number of men and women are living in communities that are nature-based. Cities are going to still exist, but more for museum like purposes. The nature based communities are going to be teeming with great diversity due to groups of people living together more due to shared destiny.
Page 57: War, hunger, and poverty no longer exist and there is greater harmony between countries on an international scale.
Page 118- Imagination plays an even bigger part in this future time period with a greater number of the souls of many men and women being able to create “worlds within worlds.”
Pages 146-147- I was surprised to see this in print (due to being a married woman myself). However, apparently the construct of marriage is going to be completely different from what exists during this century. The controversial slant: polyamory becomes common during this time period.
Pages 171-185- The way travel can done to other countries during this time period definitely reads out of a science fiction film. The ease is compared to fitting together a puzzle piece and a doorway.

Dreams And Real Life Collide, March 5, 2014
The Wind Rises follows the story of an open-hearted airplane designer named Jiro who is also grappling with the realities of the world outside of his employment. He also falls in love with a female that he met in his younger years. Last, but not least, Jiro is frequently shown interacting with one of the famous airplane designers who first inspired him (sometimes through dreams). The Wind Rises is great for those who enjoy watching anime movies that contain elements of both love stories and adventure.

Life Journeys Of Two Princesses, March 5, 2014
I confess that I rented “The Princess Twins of Legendale” after spotting the movie photo image via a Redbox rental machine at my Walmart job (during a scheduled lunch break). The Princess Twins of Legendale follow two sisters born into royal nobility and symbolize the power of day and night in their kingdom. They are born to a king and queen who dearly love each other, but end up being confronted by a woman (from the king’s past). This woman is a ruler in the night kingdom and wants revenge due to the king choosing the another to marry over her. This film is good for those who enjoy animated films similar to the Frozen film. The Princess Twins of Legendale list Kara DioGuardi for some of the music credits and also contain these bonuses:
Bonus Webisodes of Bratzilla Academy (Glam Gets Wicked) cartoons that are divided into multiple cartoons with these titles: Furry Frenzy, Double Trouble, In The Big Screen, and Midnight Beach. The Special features include movie trailer advertisements for the following children’s films: Lalaloopsy: A Sew Magical Tale and CareBears: A BellyBadge for Wonderheart.

Love Themed ClubTunes, March 5, 2014
I admit that I toyed with the idea to check out Pharrell Williams "Girl" cd after hearing and enjoying the "Happy " song. I also admit that used my Walmart employee discount towards the purchase of Pharrell Willaims "Girl" cd. The 10 songs on this version are invigorating musical tracks. Currently, I am enjoying Happy,Hunter, Gush, Gust of Wind, and Lost Queen the most from "Girl". However, there are also other catchy tunes on "Girl" such as the song features with Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, and the compelling beginning of Marilyn Monroe. "Girl" is great to get for those who are open to listening to music trakcs that have hints of R&B, club music, and electronica beats.

Songs of Endearment, March 5, 2014
As with many other people, the song “Story of My Life” grew on me after I heard it countless times on the radio. Fortunately, I was pleasant surprised to hear other tunes that I would like on this cd even more such as Strong, Midnight Memories, You & I, and Happily. I am previously familiar with their sound after hearing their track “Beautiful” from the 2012 Brit Awards compilation. Midnight Memories by One Direction is best for those who are ok with listening to romantic songs from a blend of pop and rock music.

Family Fantasy Film of Unplanned Experiences, March 5, 2014
“Summer Wars” is an animated film that focuses on how Kenji, a high school math whiz, balances his daily life along with the activities of taking on a second persona in a virtual computer world (almost related to Second Life). Kenji’s life changes when a fellow high school student named Natsuki asks him to accompany her on a weekend trip and play along as a “fiancé”. Kenji unintentionally ends up embarking on a life adventure that is definitely different from what he planned. The “adventure” is directly related to the computer Oz land.

Atmospheric Tribulations, March 5, 2014
I decided to check out Ender’s Game with my husband after he expressed an interest in watching it. Ender’s Game follows the plight of a talented youth who shows potential for military leadership. Ender is selected for specialized training that would prepare him for an upcoming space battle. The character of Ender is shown enduring great tests to sharpen his readiness alongside other adolescents who are also highly gifted. Harrison Ford plays one of the military leaders who spearheads a great portion of the training. Ender’s Game is great for those who like science fiction films with a metaphorical slant.

A surprise visit from a powerful stranger helps the young woman experience a once in a lifetime meeting with a man who has an impact on her.

Lana Del Rey’s Music Emotions, March 5, 2014
“Once Upon A Dream” by Lana Del Rey is a musically rich ballad that appears to be about someone who the singer once loved and who left an impact on her. “Once Upon A Dream” showcases the versatility of her voice. I am familiar with her music from being able to enjoy her “Paradise” collection. However, those new to Lana Del Rey’s music can listen to samples from her website, youtube, and other celebrity websites. For instance, I meekly confess that I had a chance to hear one of her music samples of the song “Behind Closed Doors” after googling her name (to search for her music) and noticed the song feature (for Behind Closed Doors) on the Perez Hilton website. “Once Upon A Dream” by Lana Del Rey is great for those who like vintage and/or synth pop and/or songs that bravely convey the various emotions of relationships.
