Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (review)

(NO SPOILERS)

7/15/2011 Was the release of the part of Deathly Hallows with the tag line. "It all Ends"  It felt like it was the end of a long era, saying the final goodbyes to the world that was/has been a huge part of my life, left an empty sad feeling inside. After following Harry's adventures, many of us were left wanting more... the bright light at the end of a tunnel seems Rowling has that much more to offer. . This year was the rebirth of all the magic many of us fell in love with. First the Cursed Child came out July 30th & then that brings me to Nov. 18, 2016 with the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Here are my thoughts on the extension of the wizarding world with the newest film. Fantastic Beasts offers a mesmerizing return to the Potterverse, full of magically enticing charm making it an incredible journey from beginning to end. Even though it takes place in the wizarding universe, it stands apart from Harry Potter.  With its very own story, that  I personally found rather sweet & endearing. (Not really sure what film people watched when I hear it did not have a plot)

From the first moment  the movie places you on a journey with great visuals, very recognizable music and great performances.....
Eddie Redmayne as Newt is incredibly completely awkward yet totally lovable. His kindness showed in abundance in how he treats his animals.
Dan Folger as Jacob Shines brighter than all as the muggle suddenly tossed into all the wonder that he never knew existed. I would have to say he is the easiest to relate to and one that most will fall in love with. To me he mirrors the sense of marvel that normally is only known to children. (wide eyed and in awe of the world with out judgment)
It also drops quite a few hints that tie in nicely with the stories that we know, as well as serving to set up the next films, that connects Dumbledore's past with Grindelwald.
All in all, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a solid and visually stunning movie that I highly suggest seeing.

OMG NO WAY!

Yeah that is right after 4 years of not blogging at all or sporadic posting. I have decided to come back and try to restart this thing up. To many awesome geektastical things going on in the world not to get moving on things again. First new post incoming shortly WOOT!!!!

But first thing is first going through the older stuff and deleting a few things of political nature that I no long wish to have on here nor do I wish to engage in those types of discussions.

Video Games, Books, Films, Being a mom and all things Simply Geektastic from here on out *hugs*

Cleveland, Ohio and the AP Awards

I have very recently had the honor of attending the Alternative Press awards at 

The Rock N Rock hall of  fame in Cleveland, Ohio

So first before anything I must give BIG GIGANTIC THANKS to my wonderful amazing friend Jennifer & her family for getting me a ticket and making this trip possible. I can't thank you enough!!!  Seriously telling you that you haven't a clue what this meant to me with tears is only a small fraction of what it truly meant to experience the entire Cleveland Adventure. Best part of all is I got to do all of it with a really terrific person who I am proud to call a  friend.. LOVE YA GIRL!!!

So AGAIN!!!!!!

Short summary of the events are as follows.

We arrived Sunday.... July 20th around 4:30pm ..placed are stuff into the Doubletree by Hilton, which would be our home for the next 4 nights.

We were not even there for a full hour when the phone began to ring. On the other end was Jen's daughter & friend, both flippen out barely breathing because they just seen Vic Fuentes from Pierce the Veil. Telling us we must get there ASAP.

Jennifer and I decided we were going to run through the city on the small amount of directions giving.... which was face the Key building and go towards 6th st. Awesome after running a good 20 mins we finally come to 6th street. Called trying to find out where the girls are...meanwhile this couple behind us ask are you looking for 6th East street because this is 6th West... UGH!!! 6th E. was 10 city blocks in the other direction.

What do we decided to do? OH WAIT.... WHAT IS THAT across the street. WOOT! We have transportation via a beautiful white horse pulling a black carriage lined with green crushed velvet. Needless to say we made it to where the girls were located in style.

Anywho upon arrival we decided to head into the restaurant within the Westin to grab a bite since we just navigated half the city. 

 We are seated and look directly next to us and OMG how lucky did we end up. Sitting my right is Mr.& Mrs. Chris and Amy Biersack, Andy Biersack (Black Veil Brides), Juliet Simms, & the entire band The Misfits. We got photo's of course and had a pretty decent conversation to go along with it.  Also while there.. Kellin Quinn for Sleeping with Sirens showed up as well. Talk about a amazing first night.

Andy Biersack of the Black Veil Brides and myself!

Meet this terrific couple/family who was seated next to us. Spending a good portion on the evening with our new friends. Seen the city from the water front at night which was absolutely breathtaking. We even cause a lot of commotion on the cruise via Fall Out Boy "light'em up" and a dance floor. Especially Jen, because at first we hung back and just laughed at what was occurring.

Night Time Craving

Often at night I dream of you, coming to my side. Vivid images & pictures in my mind. craving, lust and passion all in you I find. A dream of a thousand delights.

A whisper full of desire, a cry of sweet surrender, as passion fuels the fire. Sparks fly as the embers swirl violently. Embracing you with both body and soul.

Your slightest touch causing me to tremble, the warmth of you melts the depths of my soul as I stare into your dark eyes as they silently seduce me. As your sweet lips are begging to be kissed. 

All inhibitions evaporating as you draw me near and your strong hands invade my flesh.

Our bodies entwine, our souls combine sending chills throughout my spine.

Captivated by our bodies constant motion as passion flows. Wanting to forever feel this endless desires. 

With a throbbing pulse I hold my breath to savor the blissful pleasure as I enter a realm of ecstasy previously unknown. 

Yet as night passes yet I wake alone. For only in my dreams do visions of you appear.
