If you have not seen the latest SNL Weekend Update: Tina Fey on Protesting After Charlottesville skit. I suggest you click here and watch it. Then continue to read on.

Tina Fey is notoriously known for being a writer on NBC's Saturday Night Live. Where she has also been in front of the camera as well. Though many people were wowed after watching Saturday's skit. It is not uncommon to hear Tina view her opinions of current events. She always put some comedy in it like mentioning Donald's Trump's full name being Donald John Trump, that it does not flow well. Then mentioning it does not matter because he is gorgeous. Also eating angrily mouth full of sheet cake while ranting on.

Though through all the nonsense Fey makes a very good point on participating in rallies.

"I don't want to see anymore good people to get hurt."

Fey said as her tone of voice became solemn. As we heard the news of a young woman named Heather Heyer passed away after being hit by a car that plowed into protestors in Charlottesville.

"I know a lot of us are feeling anxious and we're asking ourselves 'What can I do? I'm just one person. What can I do?"

That is true. Many people are feeling helpless in times like these.

"I would urge people this Saturday, instead of participating in the screaming matches and potential violence, find a local business you support, maybe a Jeswish-run bakery, or an African American run bakery, order a cake with the American flag on it and eat it, Colin."

Fey then just stuffs a fork full cake in her mouth and everyone laughs while Colin is confused. Tina then tells Colin with her mouth still full with cake.

"Love is love, Colin!"

Tina continues to rant on about the protests and facts that how America belonged to the Native Americans that was stolen from them. Then bringing the argument to Standing Rock when the Native Americans and supporters have a peaceful protest others are armed. As Fey continues to make more valid arguments while still eating cake. She calls it "sheetcaking".

"Sheetcaking is a grassroots movement, Colin. Most of the women I know have been doing it once a week since the election."

Fey then concludes the skit by telling everyone to not go to the protests.

"I really want to say to encourage good sane Americans, to treat these rallies this weekend like the opening of a thoughtful movie with two female leads... don't show up."

The video has more than 7 million views and many people talking about it. Though protests are continuing and many people are getting hurt and arrested. While others are sitting at home on social media eating cake and posting #sheetcaking.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
