Insomnia, Brooklyn, and the Birdcage

Tonight I tried the delicious Insomnia Cabernet Sauvignon. I am by no means a wine connoisseur but my palate definitely enjoyed this bottle. And while finishing this bottle and watching The Birdcage I laughed all alone, out loud (I'm not embarrassed, I'm proud). Gotta love wine and Robin Williams. Separately graces to this earth and combined a magic potion to be taken while smiling.

Mr. Williams always tends to inspire me to look on the brighter side of life. No one can doubt his amazing career, but I truly believe the lines that left his lips wouldn't have sounded as beautiful from any other actor.

The funny thing is I watched the movie Brooklyn before watching The Birdcage. And both, as crazy as it may seem have a common theme: we choose our path. We choose what love we fall for, what sacrifices we make, what future we want. I cried during Brooklyn and laughed loudly and alone for The Birdcage. How beautiful this life is that we fall in love quickly, sometimes comically.

Should I experience any 'Insomnia' tonight it will be because I'm thinking of the crazy, stupid ways we fall in love (maybe I'll watch that next). We fall, sometimes we crash, unless we just keep falling until it feels like we're flying.

I hope more wine-os will try Insomnia (it's an easy sip). And my wish is that everyone experiences that fall, even the crash, but most importantly the flight that encourages you to fight for the life you want.

Goodnight, sleep well fellow wine-os.

Men, be better lovers

My friend and I work at a coffee shop/deli/hippie grocery store. When it's just us in the store we can usually be found sitting, eating, or snap-chatting in between actually doing our minimum-wage job.

We are both very liberal and very feminist. Recently, since we don't really have TMI between us we were talking about what men could do better in the bedroom. Heres a list:

1. First off, women have 3 holes down there: urethra, vagina, and asshole. I list this first because my friend and I have each had the experience of having to explain this female body fact to college educated males. I, nor does any other woman, pee out of her vagina. You can find more information here. 
2. We are human too and grow hair in all the same places you do. What she chooses to do with her body hair is her concern, not yours. And if you don't like hair, go back to watching porn.
3. If she tells you she has a fantasy, at least try to get close to achieving it. Trust me, you'll find it worth it ;) 
4. If she tells you she likes flowers, buy them on a Wednesday, it'll blow her mind, then she'll probably blow you later. 
5. FOREPLAY changes the game. Foreplay isn't just sticking your finger in her lady parts or groping at her boobs. If you really want to be good at foreplay make it last all day. Foreplay isn't just physical, it can be a mind game too, think chivalry. The more you think of her, the more she's going to want to take care of you too.
6. Sex doesn't happen at the flip of a switch. 
7. If the sex is bad, it's probably a lack of passion and that's both of your faults. Spice it up. 
8. Love cunnilingus.
9. Never forget to kiss and cuddle. 
10. Here's the big kahuna of truth I personally have come to believe as fact: It'll always be better if you're in love. Wait a while, get to know each other. Get to that phase where making-out blows your mind. Love has become such a scary term for so many people. It's fantastic while it lasts. Don't fear being in love, dive into it, life is so short to not. It better than an drug. And the sex will be the best you've ever had. 

*gulps some cab*  

Basically, what I'm saying dudes. Don't be selfish and don't bring your ego or self-consciousness into the bedroom. Be considerate. Think about what she'd like. 

I also feel the need to say be smart and wear protection because lets not forget why we have sex in the first place. Makin' babies is a real and very serious thing. 

Let me introduce myself...

I'm 23, about to graduate from college, specifically film school, and I'm so stressed from pre-graduation pressures that I decided "well I'll just blog about it!" Procrastination is the root of all my problems, but hey this is a mellowing me out so who gives a fuck. *sips wine*

This is probably the biggest turning point in my life. Born and raised in North Carolina, I've decided to move to Los Angeles with some friends in June after graduation. I'm leaving my home, my family, in pursuit of a career. My stress is a combination of fear, thrill, and naive optimism. I have little room for financial failure. 

I am a very passionate individual. This has both gotten me into trouble and aided my successes. My opinion is only that, an opinion. The most angry I get is when I see a lack of compassion, optimism, or consideration. I've been told I 'have no chill', but honestly I see that as a compliment.
