The Breadwinner

Many a times films come out based around social issues of current interest, animated films sometimes do the same. The Breadwinner is a academy award winning animated film following a young girl living in Taliban controlled Afghanistan. Disturbing, dark and will make you cry more than once these conditions extend to issues such as Syria which you absolutely should be paying attention to.

Black Panther

This movie is very interesting, especially with it's director, Ryan Coogler. Coogler is Marvel's youngest film maker with Black Panter, which shows with his relevancy to social issues based from his film. Using race and social commentary in a tasteful, almost educational way, Black Panther has given confidence to a group of people who many feel need it now more than they have in the past few decades.

Black Mirror

Black Mirror is a very popular series that's on Netflix. Many young people are drawn to the show, I'm sure you've run into bar talks of people discussing how much of a trippy episode the last seasons finale was. Is it because that even us young adults don't understand a lot of the technological advancements going on now that sometimes reading the news and keeping up with scientific findings can almost seem like a episode right out of the show.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

The nostaligia of the original Jumanji made me go see this movie. It's almost as if they wait to put movies out until theres nothing else to make you go all nostagic for and then they throw something out like a sequal to a great movie that in no way compares to the first one. This happens again and again with different titles, and you just keep trying hoping a better one will come along....

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
