4-3-2-1 What We Fightin’?

I’ve fallen in love with the “top 5 lists.” I am not sure why, but there is something quick, easy, simple and informative about them. Haha. Anyway, I’ve been missing my Jordan Ladd site SO much lately. So I’ve decided to make a list of my top five (5) Jordan movies:

5. Hostel: Part II
Her role may be small, but Jordan is always a standout. Loves it!
4. Grace
Jordan is so fantastic in this creepy little movie. All the critical praise was definitely deserved.
3. Club Dread
It’s the guys from Broken Lizard – c’mon! It’s funny and Jordan is so lovable.
2. Never Been Kissed
Romantic comedies are my weakness. This movie is so cute and lovely. Plus it has Drew Barrymore.
1. Cabin Fever
It’s gross. It’s creepy. It’s Eli Roth. It’s amazing.

Honorable Mentions: “Grindhouse: Death Proof” and “Waiting.”

Do You Like Pina Coladas and Getting Caught in the Rain?

Saturday night I got back from a wonderful and fabulous week in Jamaica: Home of Bob Marley. Luckily for me, I love Bob – as does every single Jamaican as well apparently. It is impossible to grasp the fact I am home now. I want to be back in Jamaica, on the beach, sipping pina coladas, margaritas, daiquiris and so many other delicious drinks. It’s a lifestyle I think I am cut out for, haha! I am about 105% certain I could spend the rest of my life on a beach and be happier than God Himself. Of that I am certain.

I want to be back where “Yeah Mon” and “No Problem” are a consistent and frequent part of daily vocabulary. Back to where being 20 minutes late is not only expected but accepted island-wide. Back to where beautiful places like Dunns River Falls exist. Peacefully. Quietly. And beautiful.

Arriving home was temporarily crushing. Coming home to snow and minus degree temperatures was expected. But wanted? No. Not even a little bit. I miss the smell of Jamaica. I miss the sun. I miss the ocean and the beach. I miss Bob Marley blaring from every passing-by car. I miss Jamaica.

Call Me Crazy. Call Me Obsessed.

Lately, my love of Rob Schneider has turned into a full-blown obsession. There is no other word for it. Obsession. I don’t know what rekindled this new found love … but here it is. Loud and proud. In honour of Rob (and the awesomeness that he is), I’ve decided to make a list of my top five (5) Rob movies:

5. 50 First Dates
Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore and Rob Schneider. Enough said! <3
4. The Benchwarmers
David Spade and Nick Swardson are hysterical. Rob is perfection as usual.
3. Big Daddy
This movie introduced me to one of my favourites, Leslie Mann!
2. Grown Ups
So many comedians packed into one funny movie!
1. The Hot Chick
I dare you to watch this movie and NOT laugh. It’s impossible.

Honorable Mentions: “Bedtime Stories” and “Big Stan.”

you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life to do it.”
