Self Definition

Below is the UrbanDictionary definition of Leighan.... I rather enjoyed it!

Beautiful woman, inside and out. Very intelligent, loyal, and reliable. A humanitarian, loves all creatures great and small. Would give the shirt off her back if she wasn't so modest. Would do ANYTHING for someone she loves. Not an attention seeker, but doesn't mind being in the spotlight every now and then. A Lover, not a Fighter, but she will kick your ass if you mess with her or someone she cares about. A little obsessive about certain things, but couldn't care less about a lot of things, so it balances out. This is the woman you want to marry.

Destiny of a Hype(wo)Man by Leah M

Definition of Hype Man (According to UrbanDictionary): 1.The person who gets the crowd hyped/amped/pumped before/during a show.     2. The guy at a rap concert standing next to the rapper you came to see who yells every other word loudly when you just want to hear the damn rapper. He usually does it so the rapper doesn't run out of breath, but it really just pisses you off.

                                                          

For me, it all started in the early morning of Janurary 1989. My parents were clearly partying like it was 1999 because, as I have worked out, this was the night of my conception. I know that this may seem weird, but whatever, its all part of the story of my pre-destined Hype(wo)man status. December 31st/January 1st 1989 is the most hyped night of my entire world.

This brings me to the second part of my Destiny story. My Dad is half-Jamaican, and was born there. Due to his Jamaican-ness, his role as parent and father pretty much ceased to exist after conception. Nevertheless, this Jamaican heritage has had a heavy influence, not only on me, but the world's greatest hype man: Busta Rhymes

In Year 6 and Year 7, I wanted to become a DJ. My DJ name was DJ Xtreme. I chose this name because I (used to) LOVE wrestling, and my favourite wrestlers were the Hardy Boys, particularly Jeff (Hype Man). Anywho, DJ's can be the most hyped individuals, DJ Khaled being a very good example.

I had another brush with destiny when I went to the legendary Eminem and 50Cent concert, where I got to meet Lethal B. Lethal B made the most hyped tune of the decade. And after the "Oi" video, he clearly found the money to put some vaseline on his lip piece (check 0:40 on the link below) cos "Pow" was alot!!

PS. he smelt like peaches

In Year 11, I starred in West Side Story, where I played Francesca, Maria's hype woman! Yes, it was a silent role, but I made that character look sick!

Since I've being at uni, I have been told time and time again that I have an overly hyped laugh. Now, even though people curse it, I think its a blessing, as now I am the official hype girl for GCE (brap). I'm going to laugh into the microphone to get the crowd up and awake and HYPED!
As an Economics student, I have found a gap in the market for a laughing woman Hype artist.
Look no further people. Here I Am!
Its all there people, DESTINY of a hype(wo)man

Funny Girl

In Love with the Night, Mysterious

From the incredible Cole Porter, 'So in Love' is, without a doubt the most beautiful love song I've ever heard.

The clip is taken from the musical movie De-Lovely, and it makes me wanna cry every time

Inception

Went to see Inception last night with my brothers!

O-to-the-M-G what an awesome film!! Everyone needs to go watch it now!!! I can't really say too  much about it because I would give away the plot in a second, but it is just one of the most intelligent, visually stunning movies of the year. The concept of inception is the art of implanting an idea into the mind of a person, and I'm not sure how director Christopher Nolan came up with it, but props to him. 

Leonardo DiCaprio heads an incredible all star cast, and he and his co-stars do not disappoint. I've fallen in love with Leo again!

Sing Me A Song In Black And White

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm a 90's baby, what with the technology, opportunties, and general decrease in racist and sexist attitudes. But musically, I have a real affinity with the 30's, 40's, and 50's.
Its a real shame they dont make music and movies like this anymore!

 Fred Astaire is a real charmer! And Cole Porter is a musical genuis! 
So in love with these songs

Feeling Blessed!

Today I woke up in a very greatful mood! I have a truly blessed life! I have two incredible parents that encourage me to be amazing, a papa smiling down on us from the skies, supportive brothers, and beautiful friends and family. I have never wanted for anything, and I'm surrounded by people who fill me with love!

We all take way to much for granted, so its nice to wake up and appreciate everything and everyone around you.

Today, I started making plans for after graduation, and I'm determined to travel, so hopefully I get to make that happen.

Closer to my dreams

Thanks Uncle K for introducing this one to me!

Team Edward!

Went to see Eclipse yesterday with a few of the girls, and I was surprised.... it was actually kinda alright!

I'm  a major Twilight fan, but I'm well aware that the films thus far have been pretty shite. I'm not saying Eclipse was an amazing film, but it was definetly better than the previous two... mainly because there was a definite decrease of Bella screen time... definite bonus!

The film also re-affirmed my love of Edward! Though Jacob's abs are  incredibly distracting, Edward's charm won me over! Go Edward!

Being at the cinema, I saw a lot of adverts for films I really wanna see: Inception, Toy Story 3, The A-Team... Its just a real shame that I have no money at all!

 On another note, my mama and Jordan left for Grenada on wednesday, and are gone for three weeks, so the house is really quiet, and I'm here alone most of the time. I think I'm gonna develop severe abandonment issues if they don't come back soon!!

The Time Traveler's Wife

Finished reading it literally about two minutes ago! It is possibly the most beautiful, tragic, wonky, confusing, perfect story I've ever read! Wow! This book just convinces! Its the hauntingly beautiful tale of a love that knows no boundaries, not even those of time. I'm actually in shock by the way it moved me!
Audrey Niffenegger, the author, is incredible in her ability to manipulate the reader's emotion! You can feel the undying love between Clare and Henry, you can sense the suspense when Henry time travels, and the end of the book just makes you cry!! Beautiful!
The Time Traveler's Wife can be a very confusing read - I guess that's just the nature of the story - but it is worth the effort! I think everyone should read this book.. straight away!

I bought the DVD a few weeks back but decided not to watch it until I had finished the book, so I will watch it tonight and continue this post after!

                                                                                               

Just finished watching the movie... it was beautiful... another tear-jerker! There were definitely elements from the book that I  wanted to be included in the film. Nevertheless, I absolutely loved it! Eric Bana is a babe!
