So SYTYCD was pretty awesome last night. I mean aside from the fact that Ade got kicked off. He so deserved to be there more than Evan. I don't know why he keeps getting further and further along. I swear if he wins I will never watch the show again. I really want either Brandon or Jeanine to win because they are my favorites. I think they hype Kayla up way too much, she's alright but i don't think she is nearly as awesome as Jeanine.I found my dad's old records in the basement the other day and I went through them all. He's got like a ton of boxes of them, obviously he was just as big of a music fan as I am back in the day. And i found Michael Jackson's Thriller album. Clearly my favorite MJ album ever. I seriously love it. I mean it's got Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', Thriller, Beat It and Billie Jean all on the same record. So obviously it's awesome. I'm totally thinking about like getting it framed and throwing it up on the wall or something because seriously, it's epic.
At least it isn't too hot today compared to yesterday. But then again we've got like 6 fans going, and all the windows open. So it's not too bad. We are slowly learning how to get rid of the damn heat haha. It's pretty crazy though, because people are like dying from the heat and all that scary stuff. There have been fire fighters that have passed out and such. Can you imagine? Having it already being a blazing hot day, only to have to go into a fire? That's insane. I understand why they are passing out. It's scary. I know for a fact that I would never want to be a fire fighter, but then again you need to be able to like lift people. And there is no way I would be able to do that, i'm kind of a weakling haha i'm not afraid to admit it. I've got like the whole chicken arm thing going on. God, i only weigh like 95 pounds, how would you expect me to carry out a 150 pound man? That's just not going to happen. Someone would probably have to drag me out haha. Not only that though, I would probably be the person running from the fire, not into it. That's just crazy.

Well I saw the Cobra Starship live performance of Good Girls Go Bad at Hammerstein Ballroom on YouTube. Obviously I don't exactly live near NYC, otherwise i totally would have gone. ANYWAYS, the point of my little ramble session is that I think Victoria did a totally awesome job of Leighton's part. I'm seriously more excited than I should be about her finally being able to have her own part. Victoria is so amazing and I love her to death. Seriously. So they had better come here when they go on their tour with BLG. I can't wait to see that, if they don't come here I swear I will cry. Especially since they didn't show at the BND date, because of gabe's stomach virus or whatever his problem was. Totally piss me off! Also I really hope that the ATL tour comes here, It is a glamour kills tour though. Which we don't exactly hear alot about here in Vancouver, but they had better come. I love ATL, Hey Monday and We The Kings, they are seriously epic. Friday Night Boys are pretty rad too, i just haven't quite gotten into them as much as the other three.I love Alex by the way, and Jack too of course. The two of them are hilarious, they just seem like two dudes that you could just hang out with all day and have an awesome time with. It also helps that they are both hot as hell, but that's beside the point right? I honestly loved them at BND, they were so epic. Making us howl at the moon and such. It was also kind of epic when they played a Blink 182 song and when Alex came out and sang Midtown Just Rock&Roll with FOB. That seriously made my day, Midtown is amazing, so sad that they broke up. But then again if they didn't Cobra wouldn't have formed and Cobra is so worth it.
I really want to go to warped tour this year, it would be all kinds of amazing. But you know, it kind of sucks when none of your friends are really into the same bands as you. So that would probably result in me going alone and i'd really rather not go alone because that just sucks big time. But we'll see, maybe the one friend that actually does like the same bands as I will be able to come with me haha, aside from the fact that they are actually away in Korea right now haha. Let's keep our fingers crossed shall we?

Wow, how pissed off was I when both Janette and Jason got kicked off SYTYCD last night? I mean seriously? That totally made me want to kill some people, Janette first off was amazing. And Jason and Brandon were both in the bottom two? WTF! My two favourite guys, screw you stupid people who didn't vote for them. LOL. I mean I don't understand why Evan didn't go home, personally I don't think he is nearly as good as Jason and he went home? WTF! I'm totally mad right now, it's not even funny. I kind of thought Janette would go but I really would have rather had Kayla go, there is something about her that I just don't like. She seems kind of fake to me. I know I will totally miss Jason and Janette that's for sure. Plus the whole Katie Holmes thing was total BS, she wasn't even dancing. She was like swaying and all the guys around her, Mark from last season included, were the only ones dancing. I mean I don't even think she was singing, lip syncing no doubt. All in all it was a disappointment. The highlight of the night for me was the Bench routine and the Wade Robson routine. I have always loved Wade's routines and the Ramalama one was always my favourite. He is such an amazing choreographer and to see him actually join in with the dance was awesome. You totally got to see how he envisioned it.Other than that I was listening to FOE radio today and Cobra was on, it was amazing. I love Gabe and Ryland so much. They are hilarious. Talking about Michael Jackson's song Bad and how Gabe likes to turn music up really loud when he's not supposed to and how childish he is. It was amazing. I kinda just wanted to vent about the whole SYTYCD thing today, so there isn't anything else I really wanted to talk about, aside from the fact that I can't wait for SYTYCD Canada because then I will finally be able to vote XD

Well it's been a rather interesting week, or not. I mean yesterday I went to my friends 18th b-day party. It was pretty fun, we went out to this Spanish restaurant and we all had a pretty good time. But the best part of the night was no doubt going out to the ice cream place and picking up a ice cream cake. We split the bill and it was kind of hilarious because when I asked the lady to buy a cake she looked at me really weird and said 'you actually want the cake?' and i was like 'ummm yeah...' i guess she didn't think that six girls walking into an ice cream store would want to buy a cake but we did. After that i had to carry it all the way across the street to a shoppers drug mart where my friends went in and bought candles and a lighter. Now that was fun, standing outside holding a cake, people looked at me weird but it's all good. It was actually kind of funny. Anyways we went to a park and ate the cake there. It is amazingly difficult to light candles when it is super windy outside. Yeah, it doesn't work so well, don't try it. But the night was all together a fun day. Especially when there were amazing pictures and playgrounds involved hah.SYTYCD's 100th episode is tonight and i'm totally excited. I can't wait to see the travis & heidi bench routine again. That has to have been my favourite, it was just so damn cute. Anyways We'll see how it goes tonight, i know i'm going to be sad to see anyone go tonight. I love them all, I honestly can't pick the people that I think will be leaving just because I love them all and i don't want any of them to go, especially the girls. The girls this year are all so amazing. It's insane. I love how they have SYTYCD fitness videos out now, how weird is that right? I'll probably just search them on YouTube at one point or something.
I've recently gotten seriously addicted to FOE radio. It's pretty sweet. Slightly annoying at times because it plays the same people and songs all the time, but I still love it. I wish that actual radio stations were like that. It would make my life so much happier!
My mom has recentley been annoying the hell out of me telling me that I need to get a job. Yeah, I know i should but does she have to keep stressing me out about it? Honestly it's not like i'm not going to get a job soon but with her shoving it down my throat, only makes me want to do it less. She wants me to go for accounting or insurance and i'm like seriously? Those are probably the most boring jobs on the planet. Why the hell would I want to do that? Especially when I would clearly love to somehow get into the music or fashion industry, even like publishing would be kinda cool. Anything but math. ICK. I'm not even good at math, does she even know me? I'd even like to get into graphic design. I would have absolutely no problem with any of those things. She just likes to pick the careers that I would hate the most and tell me how amazing I would be at them. I probably wouldn't be terrible at it or anything but seriously? How boring is that? I know a job isn't supposed to be fun or anything, but I'd at least like to get something that I would be a little bit interested in.
Now that i've gotten all of that off my chest I feel much better! hah.

Well i'll admit I haven't really been keeping up with this whole blog thing as much as i'd hoped to. But i have a good reason, I promise. My dog recently died, yeah. So that kinda sucks. He was a miniature dashound. I had him basically my entire life and it's kind of weird to not have him around anymore. I mean I guess it's probably for the best considering he was sneezing up blood and stuff so anyways.... i don't want to talk sad stuff right now.Let's get onto the premiere of the Open Happieness music video. I mean it wasn't the most amazing video I have ever seen or anything. It was entertaining though. Probably not something that I will actually ever watch again. I will admit that I have an addiction to that song though. I mean how can you not? it's so damn catchy. Seriously though, when will children ever learn that it is NOT okay to follow a crazy zebra into a land that is no doubt induced by drugs? Also the new Cobra Starship song Hot Mess is totally amazing. At first I was kinda like hmm.... but it's really growing on me. I don't think Cobra has ever disapointed me. I mean Good Girls Go Bad did hit #5 on iTunes which is pretty awesome. That also might be because of the Leighton Meester exposure of course, but I think it was a good move for them. It's broadening their horizons. I'm kind of tired of wearing my Cobra Starship t-shirt and people going 'who are they?' but i'm hoping that people will not need to ask anymore.
What else is new? Well SYTYCD was pretty awesome this week. I am pretty sure that I totally agreed with the two that went home this week. Not only did they totally screw up the paso doble, but they also screwed up the amazing routine that was actually done by Natali and Francis of SYTYCD Canada, those two blew up that routine where as Randi and Kupono kinda screwed up the entire thing and looked awkward the whole time. No offence to either of them but I don't really think I have ever liked them throughout the show. It's always hard for me to pick favourites but that routine choreographed by Travis and done by Jenine and Jason was amazing. Probably one of the most amazing routines I've seen. It kind of reminded me of the Mia Michaels Bench routine. Damn I loved that routine. And i'm totally excited to see it again for the 100th episode. I also had no idea that Katie Holmes danced...... so i guess that will be something kind of interesting to see right? I still can't believe that Ade was in the bottom two though. That was insane. I love him, I mean seriously his whole Dr. Funk thing was awesome! If I had to pick someone to have been in the bottom instead of him it would have been Evan. I love the guy but I mean it makes the most sense to me.
I've recently been watching all of those amazing British Comedy panel quiz shows on YouTube. They are simply amazing, and I love anything with Noel Fielding. I actually really love Russell Brand, who has been annouced as this years MTV VMA's host again. I didn't really like him last year for some reason. Him being there just didn't really make sense to me. But hopefully this year he will be better. The only thing I really liked about him was how he made fun of the JoBros. Hah that was kinda classic. Anyways, thats all for me today <333
Hot Mess by Cobra Starship
Friday, July 10, 2009
Well that was a rather upsetting episode of So You Think You Can Dance last night. But I guess in all honest I would have been upset no matter who left. But I really liked both of the two that went last night. I won't say their names in case someone hasn't watched the episode yet. Oh well, on the bright side at least they both get to go on tour. I think that they both really deserved it. For some reason I really like everyone on the show this season and I hate seeing them leave every week. There isn't one person that I don't like on this season. It was totally lame that stupid Sony wouldn't allow the show to clear the Michael Jackson songs for a tribute. I would have loved to see that, it would have been amazing. There no doubt would have been some moonwalking and one gloved costumes. Sony, you are stupid. I really loved the Wade Robson routine, then again I always love his routines. They are so different and amazing and the music he chooses is always rad. Ruby Blue is an amazing song so I was totally excited that he used that. I also love Tabitha and Napoleon, they are totally amazing as well. Then again I kinda love all of the choreographers on the show. They are all epic.I've kind of been in this Midtown mood today, I don't really know why. I just love that band so much, Gabe is amazing there is no doubt about that. I totally can't wait for Hot Mess to come out, it's going to be an amazing album. The cover art is not the best in the world, ok so I really don't like it at all. I would have much rather them used the Good Girls Go Bad one or even the 'Griller' cover, if you watch cobra cam you know what I mean by that =P Anyways, I've had all of my Midtown albums on itunes on repeat for about an hour now and i'm going to continue for quite a while. In all honesty though, today has been quite a boring day, aside from the fact that I watched MOD (Much On Demand) today. It wasn't all that exciting, but it's always fun to hear that good old Stereos song. I love them, seriously. Such an epic band. I always love to rep the Canadian bands. Maybe just because I feel like I have to, I'm pretty sure that most people outside of Canada haven't even heard of Stereos or The New Cities or any of those bands. It sucks though because they are really great and they should get the publicity they deserve. Oh well, lets hope they do well because I know I want them to stick around.
Have I ever mentioned that I have a guitar? Well yeah I do. To be honest there is no use in me having one. You see I got one thinking that I was going to learn and be this super awesome guitarist and all that crap. But I didn't really practice much and I just kinda stopped picking the guitar up and now it just sits there in my room collecting dust. So essentially, my point of bringing this up is that I'm going to try and learn how to play it this summer. I mean it's not like I have anything better to do right? So we'll see how it goes. I'll just have to get enough will power to learn how to play. Cross your fingers for me. hah

So today wasn't exactly all that exciting of a day. I mean late last night I rolled a bunch of my coins that I found sitting around my room in various jars and such, it actually turned out to be $41.50. I was quite impressed as to what a couple of pennies, nickels and dimes will do. I've actually got about $5 left of pennies still to roll, but I ran out of those little paper roller things. haha you must be really bored by my amazing coin rolling chat. Aside from that I probably watched the newest All Time Low video for weightless about 10 times today. It's so amazingly cute. The concept is the most amazing thing ever, aside from the Good Girls Go Bad video. I've really got a soft spot for that. Well that might be because Gabe Saporta is in it. But whatever. I like it. Plus Leighton is super cute in that video, I honestly love her. In the beginning, when Gossip Girl came out I really loved Blake, but now I'm more partial to Leighton for some reason. Also is it weird that I totally love both of their names. I might just name my kids after them. If I have kids that is. I know it sounds horrible but I kinda hate kids. I guess some kids are alright but it's just the whining and screaming and nose picking and all that stuff that I really can't stand. This is exactly why I would not want to be a teacher. Even a high school teacher, I mean I know that teenagers are assholes. It's obvious, I mean I was stuck with them for how long? They think they know everything about the world and that everything they touch should be theirs. Well sorry to break it to you but this certainly isn't how life works.Oh, and if you haven't heard Paramore's new song Ignorance you should totally check it out. I've been listening to it quite a lot. It's pretty awesome. I don't think it's my favorite by them or anything like that. But I must say it's pretty good. The cover of the album Brand New Eyes is kinda weird. It's not totally my favorite or anything like that, but it's kinda cool. I mean hearing that they found a butterfly in their backyard and then ripped it up and pinned it to a fence. Well that's just wonderful. Not sure where I read that or if she was joking but it kinda creeped me out a bit. I can't wait for the album to come out though. That's for sure.
Ahhh!! So You Think You Can Dance is on! I've gotta cut this short! I'll post again tomorrow =) Hopefully I'll have more to talk about!

Well, today i am christening this baby. It's pretty awesome right? I am totally happy with the way that this turned out. Hey Monday is totally awesome and I loved this photo shoot by Dirk Mai, i like instantly fell in love. The band is so cute and that just shone through in this shoot. Cassadee is probably the cutest girl around. She just seems like one of those really humble and personable type of people that you just want to get to know.Ok away from the layout stuff now, this week has been quite the week now hasn't it? I mean with the death of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, the split of Panic at the Disco and the only bright thing being the release of the new All Time Low album - by far one of my favorite albums by the way. - on top of all of that my best friend forever is leaving me! Yeah, my epic concert buddy is leaving me for the summer and then leaving me to go away to university. It kinda sucks but i guess I'll live. You could say it's been a pretty depressing week. Lets hope that next week will turn out a little better. I guess you could say that the whole Michael Jackson thing has been pretty unbelievable. I mean he was only 50, nobody really expected him to go. The funny thing was when I first found out about it I told my family and a couple of friends, none of them believed me. In all honesty I didn't really believe myself. I think it was more of that wishing and wanting it not to be true in the back of my head that was causing me to doubt myself as to what I had heard. That and the fact that the source I learned it from was TMZ -known not to be the most reliable of sources of course.- Ok this is getting depressing now, onto something more exciting and upbeat.....
Ah yes, I'm reading I Love You Beth Cooper by Larry Doyle. I haven't quite finished it yet, i'm about halfway through. But so far it's pretty good. Don't get me wrong it is good, but there are some parts that get a little over the top, rudeness is obviously quite apparent. I mean I can handle it and all I just don't want someone to go pick it up and start reading it and be all disgusted. So I'm giving you a bit of a warning. Hah, I'm sure that most of you are all going to go out and buy that book now just because I said that. To be honest, I'm not totally sure if I am expecting anyone to be reading this, it's not like I've got all that much to talk about.
I guess you could say that I'm kind of messed up, I mean I'm eighteen and I still don't have my damn drivers license. Despite the fact that I totally want it, considering it would make my life a hell of a lot easier. I'm just totally being a lazy ass and not wanting to take the time out of my pointless boring days to go out and get it. And on top of that I don't even have a job, I'm kind of looking for the right one you know? I guess you can't really be too picky, especially in a time when places aren't really hiring all that much. But I don't want to be working at McDonald's if you know what I mean. I have more ambition than that. I guess it's good for a first job or something like that, but not for me.
Obviously the job that I totally dream of having would be working at a record label, but the problem with that is the little known fact that the music industry is all about who you know and to be blatantly honest, I don't even know anyone that could possibly give me an in at the nearest HMV. So I'm screwed. There are a couple of recording studios downtown that offer internships and such, but everyone and their pathetic dog is trying to get an internship at places like that and I don't exactly have the time to work at a job where you don't even get paid. Ok, that's a lie. If I were offered an internship I would take it in a heartbeat, but we all know that's not going to happen. I like to say that I'm realistic, I know I'm not going to become some fairy princess or the leader of the free world or anything like that and I most certainly don't want to get my hopes up and think that I'm going to do something that I've pretty much always dreamed of only to be shot down and thrown into a downward spiral for the rest of my life. Right? Right!
Well I guess I should leave something for me to say tomorrow, that is if anyone is even still reading this, or if anyone read it at all.
