Home

I have a final in 45 minutes that I really do not feel prepared for, but I need a quick study break so I'm writing this.

Directly after my final tonight I will be loading my things to the car and heading home to stay with my parents for the duration of winter break from school. I will not like it much, It will be great to see my family but I am from the most boring place on Earth. Seriously, if you are currently thinking "No, I live in the most boring place" just imagine that where you live could get 100 times more boring and you have my hometown.

The internet where I live is dialup (Because it's not possible to get anything else there) so I will have to go a whole three weeks (or a bit more) without watching any videos on YouTube. It is going to SUCK. I will be posting one video a week (I promise.)

Ok thats all for now, just letting you know whats going on.

I came across this video today and thought it was incredibly cute and wanted to share it with people:



I think this is a very cute story that has a nice message, I'd enjoy reading a children's story like this to my kids one day.

Happy Holidays!

Hi guys!

Ok so, yesterday, it snowed! And lots! I LOVE the snow. I could never live somewhere with no snow, I'd go crazy! The snow got me thinking about how it's getting really close to Christmas time, so I went online and made up my wishlist and sent it zipping off to my parents. I asked for clothes, and nothing else. I love the fact that asking for clothes isn't as dangerous as it could be due to the wonderfulness of the internet. Instead of being scared that my mom will pick horrible things to give me I now take comfort in the fact that I sent her a list of the exact items I want, they're already size, and all she has to do it click and pay!

On a completely unrelated note, I have recently found the Luke and Noah "As The World Turns" videos on YouTube and am addicted I think. However, they have reminded me of the all the things I hate about Soap Operas. The most serious of which being the way they change the actor who plays a character with no warning, especially when they're replacement sucks!

I'm going to go watch Desperate Housewives now (don't even get me started, I'm LOVING the story line they've got going on.) and I'm making a new YouTube video after. I have finals at the end of the week, not looking forward to that, and then next week it's return to Dialup.

Yay December!

Peace Out!

The Circus Has Arrived

I got my copy of 'Circus' from itunes today and I'm loving it! Based on all of the 30 second clips Amazon had put up a couple weeks ago I was almost positive that I would hate 'Mmm Papi' and 'My Baby' but turns out I love them both! (Even if Mmm Papi is a bit odd, I still like it)

It snowed a bit this morning while I was watching Good Morning America. Britney preformed 'Circus' and 'Womanizer' and I loved it! (Hated the outfit she wore while doing Womanizer though) Oh, and she's going to be on Ellen Thursday so set your DVRs or whatever.

Ok, this was pointless, I'm off to dance around my room like a crazy to 'Lace and Leather'

Much Love!

For The Record

Hey guys!

I just finished watching 'Britney: For The Record' and I really enjoyed it. It made me laugh, it came very close to making me cry, and I was glad to see some behind the scenes stuff from Britney. Getting to see her silly side again (shopping with Brett and talking about the 'Sarah Jessica Parker' dress) and that she is happy a lot of the time. At the same time, seeing the scene where she tries to go into the store to shop and the paps swarm the doors and stuff, and you can just barely hear her say something along the lines of 'they're scaring me' or 'I'm scared' (I can't remember exactly) made me sad. And hearing her talk about the conservatorship also made me sad, she's obviously unhappy with the situation. Anyway, I'm glad I got to see this and I'm sooo excited for the CD to come out on Tuesday.

Did you guys watch? What'd you think?

Thanksgiving Break

Hi guys! This is going to be a looong blog. Thinking about it now I probably should have used some of my free time this week to blog, and I had A LOT of free time. I mean, a lot. A full week in Wilsondale is not fun. I love my family and have been super glad to see them, but I'm so ready to get back to Marshall tomorrow.

I spent a very large part of my week sleeping and playing cards. I also watched some TV and messed around online a bit, and of course Thursday was Thanksgiving so I helped cook and ate a lot that day.

It's EARLY Sunday morning (around 2am) and that means that in mere hours I'll be packing up the last of my things and heading back to Marshall. I'll get to see all of my friends today, this week has made me realize how important having good friends is. I think I take you guys for granted, just know that without each and every one of you (even those of you I don't actually see in person much) life would suck major.

There's really not much of a point to this blog/note/bulletin (depending on where you're reading this) besides just to ramble on about nothing. This week expect at least 4 new YouTube videos from me (it's been impossible to get them to upload on dialup) and I'll probably bug you all with details about Britney's album (I'm going to the Mall to get it on Tuesday, on the bus, any of you who wish to come with me, even if you have no interest in buying the CD, just let me know and we'll make it a field trip.)

Anyway, I hope those of you on break this week had a good one, see (or talk to) you all soon!

(I expect my phone to be in use non-stop tomorrow. Text me! Yay cell service.)

Phonography

Ok, so I'm not happy that 'Circus' was leaked onto the interwebs over the past few days. However, I did cave in and listen to 4 of the songs (and those are the only ones I'll hear before I get the album darnit) and I decided I'd share one with you.

This songs all about phone sex and I really dig it. Here are the lyrics. Press play to hear the song!



We're not so different you and me
'Cause we both share our share of obscenities
And everybody's got some freaky tendencies
Hidden or admitted, 'cause we all got needs

And I make no apologies (Uh-uh)
I'm into phonography (Uh-uh)
And I like my bluetooth, buttons comin' loose
I need my hands free
Then I let my mind roam
Playing with my ringtone

He got service, I got service
Baby we can talk all night
Go

Let's talk about biology
Make believe you're next to me
Phonography, phonography
Talk that sexy talk to me
Better make sure that the line is clean
Keep it confidential, you and me
Phonography, phonography
Dirty talking, call it phonography (Hey)

I can final all your commands
But there will be no talk of adding you to my plans
I'll keep you connected as long as you understand
Thats how we should keep it Mister Telephone Man

And I make no apologies (Uh-uh)
I'm into phonography (Uh-uh)
And I like my bluetooth, buttons comin' loose
I need my hands free
Then I let my mind roam
Playing with my ringtone

He got service, I got service
Baby we can talk all night
Go

Let's talk about biology
Make believe you're next to me
Phonography, phonography
Talk that sexy talk to me
Better make sure that the line is clean
Keep it confidential, you and me
Phonography, phonography
Dirty talking, call it phonography (Hey)

Baby if you're not alone
Take me off speakerphone
What I'm 'bout to say right here
Is just for your ears to hear
If you need to hit me back, hit me back
I got a star sixty nine for that, for that

Go

Let's talk about biology
Make believe you're next to me
Phonography, phonography
Talk that sexy talk to me
Better make sure that the line is clean
Keep it confidential, you and me
Phonography, phonography
Dirty talking, call it phonography (Hey)

Phonography
Go

Good News

While Prop 8 is taking away rights in California, Connecticut is doing the opposite. Here's the good news story I promised:


Three cheers for the Nutmeg State, which begins issuing marriage licenses today while the rest of the nation argues over California passing Proposition 8. The Hartford Courant, which doesn't usually get a chance to crow at length about the state, leads with a feature whose theme is, "Oh, right, that same-sex marriage thing is happening. Yeah, it's no big deal for us. We don't know what the hell is wrong with the rest of you people." For example:
"They could do what they want to do," said Karen Dowdell, a 61-year-old Hartford resident who was shopping at Corbins Corner in West Hartford Tuesday morning. "I could care less."
"I don't think it's a big deal," said Robert San Angelo, 57, of Naugatuck. He supports same-sex marriage, but when asked if it is a significant issue, he shook his head and said, "I think the economy is a lot more important."
The best quote however, comes from Rep.Michael Lawlor:
"[Today] will come and go, and I think what kind of puppy Barack Obama will get will be a much bigger topic of conversation in Connecticut than the fact that several dozen couples will get married."
Oh, Connecticut, you're so cool. No, seriously, you are. Congrats. While Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut, points out that Connecticut didn't vote on same-sex marriage and that every state that puts it to a vote winds up out outlawing it, we're of the opinion that putting the rights of a minority up for a popular vote is — what's the word we're looking for? Unfair? Unjust? Morally wrong? Take your pick.
In the meantime, let's wish couples like Beth Kerrigan and Judy Mock (pictured), who brought the suit to the CT Supreme Court the best of luck as they join the totally boring /profoundly moving institution of marriage.

Wall of Shame

Today I was bouncing around the interwebs reading various articles when I came across one that made me a bit blah.  Since this is my blog and I can use it however I wish, I decided to share this with the rest of you.

I don't know if any of you have head of the rapper "Trick Trick." But probably not. Anyway, he gave an interview about his upcoming album and decided he'd go on record about gay people buying it. (Not that any of us would anyway, but heres what he had to say.)

“I’ma go on the record right now with this. Homosexuals are probably not gonna like this album. Fa**ots hate me and I don’t give a f**k. I don’t want your fa**ot money any goddam way. I don’t like it. Carry that shit somewhere else.… It’s just that every time that you turn on the the TV, that sissy s**t is on. And they act like it’s f***ing okay. The world is changing for the worst when s**t like that happen. And I address that issue. I address it hard as hell…"

And if that wasn't enough he continued to say:

“I wish people would learn to be more respectful of themselves and those around them. Pay more attention to God because all His attention is on you. If you want respect from me just be respectful. If you respect yourself you’ll respect everything around you. You gotta be respectful. Because, once a person respect themselves they’ll respect others. And when you respect others you’ll get that respect back. If more people in this world would learn to respect themselves and how to respect other people we wouldn’t have as many problems as we do now.”

I think that these two quotes contradict each other, don't you? The sad part is that, if you're a fan of rap (and I'm not anyway), this album could have held some promise, especially since it features collaborations with some big-name rappers who already have established careers. ( Eminem, Ice Cube, Kid Rock, Proof, Esham, Dr. Dre , Guilty Simpson, and Royce Da 5’9)

Anyway, I'll end my rant about this idiot here. Check back soon for a happier post that includes some good news.

Oh Eww.

Ok so, today another promotion picture of Britney Spears surfaced and I don't like it.  And if you know me and how much I love Britney, then you know that me not liking it is weird lol.  Have a look for yourself:

I really love the outfit, but to me her face looks photoshopped or something. And badly, or WAYYY too much.  Opinions?

Circus Tracks

Today I came across this Review of some tracks off Britneys upcoming album Circus. Enjoy!

Check out a more detailed review of several tracks off Circus fromPopjustice.com. This album is going to be sick!

'CIRCUS'
This is the title track. This means the song's called 'Circus', and it's from the album 'Circus'. "I run a tight ship," Britney announces, "so beware - I'm like the ringleader, I call the shots, I'm like a firecracker I make it hot, now put a show". What does this mean? Well, she is a ringleader on a ship - we presume this is something to do with a special circus on a cruise liner of some sort. Basically Britney is comparing herself to lots of things at the same time. Your English teacher will tell you this is a silly thing to do - but Britney is allowed to do it, because she is Britney. The track comes with massive thudding electronic R&B production and there's a lot of stopping and starting, including a a built-in MTV-style dance breakdown segment. The chorus lyric is "all eyes on me in the centre of the ring just like a circus" but the best bit's the bridge, with its "I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins, spotlight on me and I'm ready to break, I'm like a performer with this world as a stage" bit. There's all sorts of other stuff about "don't stand there watching me, following me, show me what you can do". Bits of it are a lot like 'Break The Ice' from the last album, but with an extra layer of Big Production.

OUT FROM UNDER
'Blackout' didn't have any big ballads so here is one for 'Circus'. It's incredibly similar to this version...

...of the song but with more guitar (weedy guitar, not big proper guitar). The production's a lot less sparse and a great deal more 'Britney ballad' (in the 'I'm Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman' tradition). Basically the most interesting thing about Britney's version that you can't hear on the Joanna Pacitti original is the finale, which ends with a great "from under, from under, from under" bit.

IF U SEEK AMY
This is the one people are excited about because the words "if you seek Amy" sound like "F-U-C-K me". After a "la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la" intro the song sort of throws itself into a ridiculous faux-lesbo 'romp' in which Britney looks for girl called Amy in a club ("oh baby baby have you seen Amy tonight, is she in the bathroom?"), can't find her while the club's closing, bangs on about "love me hate me, say what you want about me but all the boys and all the girls are ready to f-u-c-k me" and then goes bonkers over a lot over a thunderous Timbaland vs Scooter production job. There are some "ha ha he he ho ho ho" bits, a great whooshing noise into the final chorus and an overriding sense that this might be one of Britney's most ridiculous recordings to date.

'VERDICT': It's 'Blackout 2.0' - this is good news, 'Blackout' was a phenomenal album - but seems to include a lot of posturing and also seems to be quite gimmicky, which hopefully won't extend across the entire album. The inclusion of a song like 'Out From Under' suggests that this album, as a whole, might be a bridge between 'In The Zone' and 'Blackout', or at least a bridge between 'Blackout' and a next album more along the 'In The Zone' lines. That didn't make any sense at all, did it. Anyway if these are the very best songs on the album we're probably heading for a 7/10 sort of affair but it's hard to second guess a Britney album so what it will end up like is anybody's guess.

More On Prop 8

I'm gonna​ share​ a coupl​e video​s that I watch​ed today​ with ya'​ll.​

This first​ one is Keith​ Olber​mann on MSNBC​ talki​ng about​ Prop 8. I perso​nally​ reall​y liked​ what he had to say. (​Even if I think​ he was most likel​y "​preac​hing to the choir​"​ for lack of a bette​r expre​ssion​)​ 

This secon​d one is a clip from Ander​son Coope​rs show on CNN, Ander​son and three​ other​ peopl​e discu​ss Prop 8. (I mostly included this one because I think Anderson is Yummy!)

A Younger View on Prop 8:

This is a video​ of a 14 year old strai​ght guy talki​ng about​ Prop 8. I found​ it inter​estin​g to hear the opini​ons of someo​ne who is a bit young​er,​ it's peopl​e like this who will hopef​ully influ​ence our futur​e.​ I know every​thing​ this guy says is not perfe​ct but I think​ he's got a good head on his shoul​ders.​

Blogging? Really?

Ok so, tonight  I was sitting here surfing around the net and I came across a video on Proposition 8 that I really liked, which I then decided to share with people via Myspace Bulletin.  A couple hours later I came across another video I wanted to share, so I returned to Myspace.  I also use the 'Notes' on Facebook in the same manner.  This got me thinking, and I've decided to start this blog.  From now on whenever I want to rant or share something with people I'll put it here.

I don't actually know how often I'll use this, but we'll see.
