Laughter and Tears with Andy Samberg.

I`ve known Andy Samberg for a long time now by his work on SNL and with The Lonely Island, and I`ve always liked him and thought he was a really nice and talented and funny guy. That has been just recently that I found out he did the voiceover for Hotel Transylvania (voice of Jonathan) with Adam Sandler and Selena Gomez. Now, I LOVE Hotel Transylvania, I really think this is one of the best animated movies that have been released recently (although it was released in 2012..but this is the thing there are almost zero great cartoons nowadays..) so when I found out Andy took part in it I kinda freaked out and got too excited and started fangirling and went online to find some of his other movie works. And God bless the Earth I found plenty. These are two I`m really excited about right now.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

I wanna start off by saying how profoundly underrated this TV Show is among the audience. In my opinion, this show has to be everywhere and annoy everyone like TVD or PLL does (no hate, I`m a fan of both shows!). The point is that too little amount of people talk about this show despite it being the winner of such awards as Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy Awards and Critics Choice Television Awards and being nominees for a lot more. This is the first reason to take a look. The second reason (although it should`ve been the first one I guess) is the plot and the overall idea. I`m sure there is a comedy show about cops somewhere else on the planet, but Brooklyn Nine-Nine was the first one I  found and let me just say I love how comedy and detective genres are combined. Don`t get me wrong, detectives in this TV Show, obviously, are very different to real ones, but bearing in mind it  has the status of a comedy show this is a very good representation. Some say the humour of the show is lame and absolutely uninteresting. I only can say that I know a lot of TV Shows, that consider themselves comedy shows, that seem to not know at all what humour is. The humour of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is spiky and sarcastic which makes all the characters very genuine and real. Of course, there are a few jokes about butts and farts here and there (American comedies love to use those jokes) but it doesn`t spoil the experience at all. For instance, I don`t like such jokes at all but right now I can barely remember one, so little of them there`ve been on this show. The next reason to watch this show is the CAST. At first I decided to watch it simply because of Andy Samberg, and then I fell in love with every other actor and actress on this show. EACH AND EVERY ONE. I rarely stumble on movies or TV Shows where I love absolutely every character and actor (the lead roles I mean), and in this case - that`s it, this is one of the best casts to ever exist. Every character is unique in their own way, and every one brings something special to the group. The interesting thing to watch as well is the development of those characters and development of all the relationships between all the different people who make such a great team together. I guess whoever watches this TV Show can find at least one character to relate to, and this is what makes this show one of the greatest shows I`ve ever come across. I can`t possibly tell how much I love this show and how many times it cheered me up and felt like home when I felt down and uncomfortable. I`m extremely happy there will be a season 3, and hopefully it will stick around for a long time. I think shows like this are always welcome on the TV. Long live, Brooklyn Nine-Nine!

'Now I know why you f8cking cry all the time. The sh8t`s emotional.'

I never wanted to write or talk too much about this movie, but I'm also not able to shut up about it. First of all - this movie is one of the saddest movies I`ve ever watched. Now, I don`t think every person who watched it would say that, but for me it is just like that. It scarred me for life and for two days straight after watching it, I couldn`t get myself back together.

The movie shows us the story of the two best friends who fell in love when they were in school (or college), who then got married and lived happily until decided to get a divorce. And after that decision they slowly realize they still love each other. This is the story about real unconditional love experienced by two people who can never be together, but who are in pain and afraid to let each other go. 

Letting go is one of the hardest things in the world. Letting go of someone you know you will always love is impossible. And this movie is about that. It`s about holding on and letting go, about loving and being friends, about missing someone and not being able to move on and then it`s about moving on itself, and about life being hard, and about the decisions we all sometimes have to make that are not always easy. It`s about everything, basically. I`m sure there are people who have been through something like this and who will understand this whole movie and who will embrace it, and then there are people who wouldn`t understand it at all, who, probably, won`t even shed a tear, and that`s okay. To be honest, I kinda envy those who wouldn`t understand...

But anyway, enough with sadness and philosophy. The movie plot is great, the characters are amazingly written, and the representation and shooting are beautiful and the soundtrack is freaking gorgeous (especially Lily Allen - Littlest Things that makes me cry like a baby every. freaking. time). I guess even if you can`t understand and relate to these characters, you still can enjoy the movie so beautifully done.

Thank You, 2014.

[so clap like You mean it let`s make some noise, rise like a phoenix to the open skies, celebrate Your Life]

This year I told myself I won`t be writing anything like this. I mean didn`t even tell...I just knew I didn`t want to write anything, wasn`t in the right mood and didn`t really have anything to write about. Well, turns out I do have something...

2014 was not full of events for me, in fact all I did 90% of the whole year was sitting on my butt doing pretty much nothing with my life. That`s true...but also not really true. Due to me leaving my university (in case I haven`t written about it here yet - long story short - it`s a boring place with boring people all over it, I got bored, started skipping, almost got kicked out and finally decided to leave it for good) I got a lot of free time and at first I was aimlessly spending my life on Tumblr and Twitter and Youtube as we, teenagers, tend to do a lot these days, but deep inside in our souls we all know that eventually we get bored on the internet as well, so I finally started doing things I really enjoy and didn`t have much time to do while being a university student. During the year I`ve read a lot of books (something I couldn`t find time for for almost two years), I`ve started learning Spanish and recollecting French (used to learn it in school), I`ve watched a buch of great movies and TV shows (and although it doesn`t seem very educational and a good alternative to a university and comunication with real people in real life, it was useful for me). [here I must add - I don`t encourage people to leave universities to sit home and watch TV shows, that`s not what I`m talking about ;)]. 

So basically I had the opportunity to finally do what I enjoy and what I want and what I thought would help me realize something about this crazy life we all are living. And, funny enough, it did help. 2014 gave me so much great music, so many amazing books, articles, movies, TV shows and inspiring people I`ve lost count! All these things that found their way to me taught me something great and inspired me - Big Time. I`ve learnt SO MUCH. I`ve learnt that you can always turn your pain into something good - into art for example, you can sing, write, paint and draw, dance..you can CREATE something by USING and EMBRACING your pain and your fear and your negative emotions and make them positive ones. I`ve learnt that I`m not alone. I`m not alone feeling depressed sometimes, I`m not alone having anxiety issues and suffering panic attacks, I`m not the only one introvert on this planet, I`m not the only one confused about my future and my career choice, I`m not alone. There are people who have already been through it and succeeded afterwards, there are people who are going through it this very moment, and we all are in this together and we all are gonna find our way, somehow someday. I`ve learnt what kind of person I am, and even though a lot of things can go wrong in my life, I can be happy and peaceful at least withing myself. And I`ve learnt to love and appreciate myself more and to care about myself rather than about what other people think of me. We need to remember we all have the whole wide world inside ourselves and sometimes it`s good to have time in there with no one else around. I`ve learnt what kind of person I want to be. I`ve learnt to forgive and forget and most important - to let go, even when it hurts (still kinda struggle with this one though, but it`s better than it used to be). I`ve lernt not to depend on people much and not to dedicate myself fully to them. I`ve learnt to control myslef more. Basically, I`ve learnt a sh8t load of stuff and I`m thankful for it. Even though I didn`t go out much or didn`t do anything amazing and interesting and intertaining, I cherish this time on my own and I like to feel all this knowledge, it gives me power to go on and inspires me to learn more about myself and the world around.

That`s why I can`t say 2014 was useless and gave me nothing at all. It was useful and helpul. It was the year of learning and I loved it all the way. It wasn`t perfect, but I still wouldn`t change anything about it. So...Thank you, 2014. x
