Ke$ha

At a press conference promoting her new watch collection, Ke$ha wore an interesting outfit(but I won't get into that), and an even more interesting piece of hand jewelry. I can say that the watch isn't horrific, but I have to restrain myself from even mentioning her eye makeup.

What even is it?! It's not a bracelet because it goes over her fingers, it's not a ring(or five) because it goes around her wrist. Maybe it's a torture device she has to wear until her songs leave the radio. Whatever it is, I think it was a bad idea. Not because it's weird(I mean, compared to the stuff she usually wears?), but because it takes away from the watch. If you look at the zoomed in picture, you're not paying attention to the watch, you're thinking what the heck is that thing on her hand, why are her nails like a messed up French manicure, and what happened to subtle eye shadow?!  You aren't thinking wow, what a beautiful watch. I need to go spend a lot of money so I can pay Ke$ha's bills. 

I just went to look up how much the watch costs and GUESS WHAT? I don't that watch is even part of her collection!!!! Like, seriously Ke$ha? YOU DON'T WEAR A WATCH TO YOUR WATCH PRESS CONFERENCE IF ITS NOT YOUR WATCH!!!!! 

And that hand jewelry still sucks.

Ready... Set... RED!

In my mind, every album has a color. Every color gives me a vibe. Thinking about the colors I have for Taylor Swift's albums, I realize that the colors I have are really similar to the colors of the cover album, but the feelings behind the colors are all me.

Taylor Swift: Light Blue/Turquoise and Light Green

Fearless: Yellow 

Speak Now: Purple

The Taylor Swift and Fearless colors give me a more raw feel, which I guess is the feel for the albums too. Speak Now is more polished. You would think Red would give me a red feel, but so far it's still kind of purple, like Speak Now. But, I DEFINITELY like it better then Speak Now.

Some of the songs resemble Speak Now, but I've also found a lot are extremely similar to Taylor Swift. Some, like Stay Stay Stay, even have a Fearless vibe. But each has their own little spark of Red. And that's what Taylor Swift is. She started out great and she just kept building on that. Building and changing slightly. Still keeping that Taylor quality.

I think Red was the perfect next step. It makes sense for where she is in her career. It isn't too pop. It isn't too country. It's her own special blend. 

Unbiasedly, I think it is a good album. If you like Taylor Swift for the most part in the past, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised that there are fun songs like We Are Never, but that isn't the whole album. If I was Ms. Swift, I would be proud to have this be my album, no matter how many million copies it sold.



Bowling Shoes: JSC

Today, I went bowling. Today, I sucked at bowling. Today, I discovered my new favorite shoes.

I think I was rocking them particularly well in my purple leggings and black graphic tee but it's impossible to not look good in them.
Am I really weird to want bowling shoes to wear normally? They are JUST SO CUTE. Can that be a new acronym? JSC? It stands for those pieces of clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, etc, that just make you smile. Plus, bowling shoes are GREAT for gettin' your snazzy dancing on. 

What do you guys think? Are you as attracted to bowling shoes as I am? If not, what's your JSC? Tell me in comments!

I'm Thankful For...

the people who appreciate the little things that you appreciate, and if they don't appreciate the little things that you appreciate, they laugh at you and appreciate that you appreciate the little things you appreciate.

What are you thankful for?

More Rubix Cubing

Last time I posted about rubix cubing, I could do it in about four minutes. Now my best time is less then two minutes. I also know some cool formations which are in the second video.
The time was 2 minutes, 8.91 seconds. Sorry, I didn't realize until after I shot the video that you couldn't read the phone.

Those are just some cool stuff I like to do.

What's Up with "Politics"?

Everyday I climb into the front seat in my mom or dad's cars. I buckle my seat belt and we drive away. I lean forward to turn on the radio. I press setting five to turn on the local pop station I always listen to. In the last couple months, more often then not, what I hear makes me want to (and sometimes causes my mom to) turn the radio off.

I'm talking about political adds.

I turn the radio on and I hear Mitt Romney saying that he supports A and has voted for it and that Obama hates A and has voted for B. Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift have the floor for the next few minutes. Then it goes to Obama. He apparently thinks B is stupid and unlike Romney has voted against that and for A. If I was an uninformed voter, I'd be confused.

I'd like to start with the fact that it's a teen radio station. Can we vote? No. Do we have that much, if any, say in what our parents vote? No. Are our parents listening while they drive us instead of tuning all this idiotic music out? Most likely no. So why advertise to a tween radio? I'd leave this advertising to NPR.

Another thing that bugs me is the fact that one, or both, of them have got to be blatantly lying. As I said before, they are saying the exact opposite of each other. The same is true for the debates. This time it's within seconds of each other that you hear the presidential candidates, people you want be able to trust, telling you tons of stuff that can't possibly be true. If I was old enough to vote and undecided, I'd scoot on over to my computer and figure out, from unbiased sources, what's what.

The thing that annoys me the most is something most people don't think of.

We have people out there who's careers lead them to do incredible things and yet these people, with a so-called interest in politics, have decided to devote their time to creating things to trash talk people. Some of these people are in fact, corrupt. But do we ever think about the small chance that maybe, just maybe, there might actually be some morally good people whose children have to listen to the radio, watch TV, or even play on the computer, and here awful people saying terrible things about their mommy or daddy? No, we don't.

Cirque Du Soleil

I saw Cirque Du Soleil yesterday. Almost the whole time my face was like this,

or this,

or this.

First lets talk costumes. Almost all the people doing crazy acrobats were in body suits, which were cool. But what amazed me the most were the chorus peoples costumes and makeup. They looked like people out of the capitol.

I love one girl's costume in particular. She was dressed all in pink and yellow-orange. Her hair was in yellow-orange curls piled on top of her head, around one foot high. Her dress was like a hoop skirt, it poofed out a lot, but it only went to just below her butt. I'm pretty sure it was made with wire.

Now about the actual show. My favorite parts were the ones where people swung around the stage hanging on ropes or other contraptions. There's not much to say, the whole thing was just like WOW.

WOW
