Movie Night:" 12 Years A Slave" Review

 I must admit, I had no intentions of seeing this movie at all. I was headed to an advanced screening of "Delivery Man" which starred Vince Vaughn, however the seating had already reached its full capacity. After debating for a few minutes with my friends, we all agreed to see something other than our traditional Romantic Comedies and chick flicks. I was hesitant about seeing a film of this caliber, but I'm happy I did because the movie was life changing and inspirational. Visually, historically and musically the film is stunning. There aren't enough Oscars in Hollywood for this film. The cast reall blew me away with their performance. The story told was raw and real and unfiltered and felt as though I could really associate with the pain of the slave experience. It wasn't a superhero adaptation about a black man's psyche, an adaption of Roots, or a textbook documentary. Twelve Years A Slave is that dream you have about real life events, that causes cold sweats, intense breathing and heart pounding because you are reliving a past that you have learned to skillfully suppress. Words can not explain how much this movie touched me as I found myself praying for the characters on screen as we witnessed their struggle; as if my prayers could really alter the reality of the movie! This movie is so much more than race and should be seen by all people everywhere. If you've haven't had the chance to see it, please do so.

I'm not a blogger, I just browse a lot..

Hey folks! I'm a little new at this so bear with me. First and foremost I'm Toneria (Ta-near-a); also know as Maryland is the place I call "home" (Go Ravens!!). Reading the posts of blogs I follow allowed me to discover new ideas and concepts as well as voice my thoughts and opinions. Then it hit me...... maybe I could blog too?!?. 

Well what does one blog about or how do I capture the eye even just one person? 

I'm  baker at heart but my pictures will never be up to par with a few of the baking blogs I follow. You will however, see a recipe here and there once I get the hang of this. I'm an avid Pinterest member but I'm sure I'm not alone lol. I love planning parties and events; it gives me the chance to explore how creative I am and to let my creative juices flow. Contests and sweepstakes are my addiction as well. The idea of winning anything just makes me smile. It also serves as an opportunity to advertise products and services vendors offer that consumers aren't aware of...and I love trying out new things. 

So what I'm sayin is you'll be exposed to several of the things that are apart of my eventful yet creative life. I hope I'll get the hang of it soon  and I look forward to you all joining me  :) !
