What’s all the fuss? Is this #Robstengate

In the past week pictures, and now statements have “been made” in regards to what I am now calling Robstengate.

The tabloids have posted pictures and then all the news stations and the rest of the gossip magazines followed suit that Kristen Stewart, our beloved Bella has cheated on Robert Pattinson. In rebuttal, Kristen herself has posted an apology for cheating on Rob. Can we believe any of it?

I mean I have seen the pictures in question and there is a thing call Photoshop, so are these pictures credible? I have seen a lot of our fandom break down these pictures pixel by bloody pixel in hopes that they can in fact find the truth out themselves. But I have a better question… Why do we care?

I love Rob, loved him since he was Cedric Diggory. I am a fan of Kristen, not a Krisbian at all, but a fan of her work. Why are we so obsessed as fandom that they may no longer a couple? How does that change how we feel of them as actors? They are still going to act, in many other roles. Rob will soon be seen in ‘Cosmopolis’, and KStew has other projects on the horizon as well.

I have also seen the people taking sides? Why on earth would we do that? They are actors that fell in love. It is quite common of an occurrence.  Michael Sheen was once in love and had a child with his co-star Kate Beckinsale. Anyone take a side on that or better yet care that she is now with the director of her very lucrative franchise ‘Underworld’? The answer is no.

Fan sites have been deleted as well as twitters and for what? 
                      
Fans have declared sides and for what?

Fans have said they forgive HER, and for what?

This is utter insanity ladies. Twilight fans for the most part have a bad rep for being young and immature and we are just playing into that image that they have. Stop taking sides. This didn’t happen to us. Why the insanity?

Can someone please explain why everyone is crying and so upset over this?
People are so easily ready to blame Kristen, what happen to blaming the other man, Rupert? How come no one is blaming him or bad mouthing him? He was there and IS partially if not all to blame for Kristen’s indiscretion.  After all, “A prick has no conscience.”

In closing, just please stop the insanity and grow up. They or she doesn’t need our forgiveness. We fell in love with them both because of Twilight, and if we think they are talented, we can and still should support them NO MATTER WHAT! She isn’t asking for our forgiveness she is asking for his. He is the ONLY one she needs to account for any of this NOT US. She isn’t dating us, nor did she ever.  Just please let it be and move on. I assure you the world will still revolve despite #RobstenGate .

What have you done for YOU lately?

We only get ONE chance at life. One chance to make it really count. We live in a time where everything needs to be faster, easier, more efficient….or so they say. Our priorities have changed. While cell phones, computers and cars have gotten as small as the bills we carry in our wallets, the time we spend with family, the time we spend on ourselves and the amount of time we spend caring for one another has diminished. We are in such a rush to do everything that the moments that really matter are passing us by. When was the last time you sat down at the table and had a meal with your family, or turned off the television and instead had a family game night? When was the last time you took a moment to do something nice for yourself? Maybe even tried something you have always dreamed of doing? How about, when was the last time you did something nice for a complete stranger?

I know that times have changed. I understand that it's harder to keep up with the mundane tasks of everyday life. There will always be bills to pay, kids to raise, dinners to cook, jobs to perform & dogs to walk. It feels like there isn't enough time in a single day for anything else. Possibly you're afraid to talk to someone you don't know out of fear that they could potentially harm you. That is no way to live.

Fear is such a crippling thing, isn't it? I spent most of my life being too afraid of what people thought, uncomfortable situations and what I thought of myself. I didn't take chances. I never tried anything new out of fear that I may disappoint myself or others. Basically, I wasn't living to my full potential as a human being. I had two deaths in my family, within about a week apart from each other, the threat of possibly losing my job, and the horrible mental state I was putting myself in. (I have struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts since I was a teenager that have gone undiagnosed & I never talked to my family about. The death of my brother made all that worse.) That was when I really began to think about how I have been wasting my time here on Earth.

I have come to the realization that WE create our own destiny. WE have the power to change our lives. We are given a life by whatever force you believe in, be it religious or scientific belief, but we are given a life either way. We are given eyes to witness beautiful sights, ears to hear beautiful music and sounds, lungs to breathe in the fresh air….a heart to FEEL with. A heart that beats and is meant to keeps us alive. It's what we do with this life that is important. Are we meant to rush around without experiencing the beauty of all that is around us? No, we are not. So, what I have done is created a "Bucket list" of things I want and need to change in my life. So far this list is helping me stay focused. Seems silly, I know, since I should already be able to do these things without a list, but for me this is what works. Everyone is different.

Since I have stopped rushing around and started making time for myself in between all the things I need to do in a single day, I have felt happier. I have had a more positive attitude. I take my life a day at a time. Whatever comes my way, I tackle it and move on. I have begun to enjoy the many simple pleasures this life has to offer me. I have stopped stressing as much when I go to work. I have been taking care of ME and my family FIRST. I still understand my other priorities, the ones that pay the bills, but I have a better understanding of what is really important. I always take a moment to appreciate the ones I love. I will never again take anyone or anything for granted. I will promise to tell people how much I love them on a daily basis & I have promised to live every day like it is my last day because our time here is short. It could end tomorrow. I don't ever want to lose someone and not have them know how much they mean to me ever again.

The point of this blog is to make people aware that no matter how hard you work. No matter how fast you move or how much you have to get done, Life moves on. The world keeps spinning. The chores, jobs, places to go, and anything else, will still be there. MAKE time to do things you enjoy. MAKE time to be with the ones you love. Take a class, travel, learn a new language, donate some time to a local charity or shelter, maybe say hello or make conversation with someone you don't know. Make someone else's day, make YOUR day that much brighter. Just don't waste your time. Be thankful you are alive. Don't be afraid.

And most importantly……

LIVE LIFE!

Much Love and Respect,

Music Monday: @muse

I found Muse many many years ago. My brother had put them on a mix tape and then on a CD for me. I was immediately a fan. They were unlike anything I had ever heard before. Innovative and creative and spot on. 

When Stephenie Meyer wrote the Twilight books and then said one of her inspirations was listening to Muse, an entire new following found the band. 

If you haven't listened to the play-lists while reading our fave books, then you are missing out. She has picked perfect songs to convey every mood and action. It only adds to the experience.

Picking one muse song to post was not an easy task. This is bar far one of my faves, I get lost in this song. I hope you enjoy it.

Green with envy! Twilight star Kristen Stewart shows off her fantastic form on the golf course

Thanks to my follower @Bellanieve for pointing us to this article from 

Her form is enough to make most people go green with envy.

And this also proved to be true on the golf course as Twilight actress Kristen Stewart showed off her skill in Los Angeles on Friday.
The 22-year-old proved to have impressive touch as she tried to get her ball in the hole with a putt attempt on the green.




Of course, with a name like Stewart one would expect she would be a bit of a natural at the Scottish game.




No doubt her legion of male fans will be pleased to see her showing off her impressive form in Pacific Palisades.






And while she was probably not following club protocol, her skin-tight hotpants will have surely brought a smile to the faces of club members.
The perfectionist Snow White and the Huntsman star did not look pleased with where her ball ended up, despite her impressively fluid stroke,
No doubt she was disappointed after seeing her putt stop agonisingly close to the whole.
Whatever the reason there is little doubt her fans will think she is just par-fect.
