Bring Change 2 Mind

Grad school has seemingly sucked out all the energy for my creativity to write, so while I spend the next few days soul searching I thought I'd share (yet another) youtube clip. Its a PSA for the campaign Bring Change 2 Mind, which advocates for the destigmatization of mental illness in society, as well as bringing support to those suffering from, or who know people who are suffering from a mental illness. As a psychologist-in-training, it is a passion of mine to bring awareness to the general public the misconceptions about mental illness that have gone on far to long.

Here's the video that caught my attention, featuring Glenn Close. I also included a link for the campaigns website after the video:

Love

As this is the second week of midterms this post will be quite short:

I happend across this trailer will purusing through the internet and was pleasantly surprised. Love is a film to be released in early 2010 by the band members of Angels & Airwaves. Immediately I was skeptical when I read that first introduction, but the trailer really impressed me. The story centers around an astronaut that becomes isolated and stranded in orbit.

The trailer reinds me a bit, conceptually, of The Fountain. I am at once intrigued and skeptical of the film, but also remain optimistic of this movie as the trailer looks quite promising.

Check the bands website which is full of content on the movie: http://modlife.com/angelsandairwaves
