lyric of the day,

So, I was listening to my iTunes on random. The Foo Fighters song My Hero came on. First off, I usually listen to this song via the Paramore cover. (I doubt anyone that knows me is surprised by that statement) Anyways, listening to the original version definitely gave me a new perspective on the song all together. You know when you watch a movie a few times and you continue to find something new? Well, your not finding something new, it was there all along, you just needed a little time to discover it. That's what happened to me with this song. So I decided to post a lyric of the day. Today's lyric...

"Truth or consequence, say it aloud"

My Hero, Foo Fighters

Take this line as you will, but it resonates with me on a whole other level. I'm not about to get all personal on everyone, so we'll just leave it at that. 

Foo Fighters- My Hero

Paramore's version.. i couldn't resist posting it =)

The Last Dance

I know I wrote about the show in my last post but its just too good to pass up another opportunity to talk about The Vampire Diaries. 

Last night's episode was absolutely AMAZING. The twists and turns! The drama and craziness! I was on the edge of my chair.. well I was watching while sitting on the floor, but you know what I mean. You can never tell whats going to happen next while watching. The end of this episode left me with my jaw on the floor. Check out this extended preview for next weeks episode!

The Vampire Diaries - The Last Dance Extended Preview

The Vampire Diaries..

I've been known to get ridiculously attached to television shows, but its rare that I'm super attached after one season. Hell, I was hooked to this show after watching two eps. I'm about to gush about this show instead of doing my homework.... 

Based off the book series by L.J Smith, the tv series The Vampire Diaries has become bigger than anyone expected. Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec have created a monster! Watching this show is truly an addiction. Theres no guilt in the pleasure of watching TVD week to week. Sadly its been on hiatus for quite some time, but this thursday it is B A C K! 

For those of you who know:

I don't have to tell you what its like to watch an ep. Your sucked into this world for 48 minutes filled with action, drama, twisted story lines,  and ridiculously good looking guys ;) (or girls)! I don't know about you, but I speak for myself and my friends; this show never disappoints! We are always on the edge of our seats or holding on for the next hilarious Damon line.

Damon, Elena, Stefan

For those of you who don't know:

The show is about vampires (duh), but not the old type of vampire. These guys have evolved quite well to the current time. They blend right in, and they're gorgeous. The two main vampires are Damon Salvatore (played by Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan Salvatore (played by Paul Wesley). The leading lady whos busting her butt playing Elena Gilbert, and her vampire twin Katherine Pierce, is Nina Dobrev. If anyone has surprised me the most its Nina. She captures both roles perfectly and doing double time CAN'T be easy. The girl works hard and it sure does show.

Here are some of the killer supporting cast, no pun intended, that become essential to the show:

Matt Davis as Alaric Saltzman   

Sara Canning as Aunt Jenna 

Katerina Graham as Bonnie Bennett

Michael Trevino as Tyler Lockwood 

Steven R. McQueen as Jeremy Gilbert 

For those of you who are behind:

there are 21 eps in the first season and there will be 22 in this season. I HIGHLY recommend watching all of season one and all of season two. Its just too good to miss any episodes!

The Power Of Youtube.

 Rebecca Black's Youtube music video "Friday" was released on Monday March 14th. I was interviewing an upcoming band on Tuesday March 15th called My Arcadia. Their lead singer, a 20-something year old female, with an amazing voice continued to mock a song I've never heard of. She was singing Black's song "Friday" questioning if the song was just a joke. By Wednesday morning my facebook feed was FULL of people sharing links to Black's music video. It is the most terrible song I have ever heard. Her voice is 100% autotuned. The lyrics are obnoxious. and the video is.. really well made? I dont understand it, but people are LOVING this video. The song is number 69 on Itunes (and continuing to climb the charts) and has over 10 million youtube views. 

 There are people talking about signing Black to a label. Autotune is becoming more and more common. We all know that Ke$ha dabbles in autotune at least twice on each track, and I have seen her live, the girl is crazy but she cant truly sing. I'm comparing Black with Ke$ha to give you a clear visual, Ke$ha sounds like a singing godess when pinned against Black's "Friday". Its pretty disturbing to me as a music lover to see Black get so much attention for a song shes not actually singing. Technology is allowing anyone with a camera, computer and autotune to become a "singer." 

I believe Black will have her five minutes of fame, and then take her rightful place as an on-going joke you hear people laughing about, or maybe you're already laughing. At least I hope thats how this all pans out. Real musicians should be getting all the attention. The ones that have true talent, can actually use their real voices, and can play a damn instrument.

One Tree Hill...

Anyone reading this that knows me, knows One Tree Hill is my favorite show. Its been with me since I started high school and this year I'm graduating college. Not once in high school did I think this show would last a full 8 seasons. Its a roller coaster ride kind of show. Legitimately anything can happen in Tree Hill. Weekly, OTH puts up good numbers because if their faithful viewers. But I have to say, even I was surprised that there are people campaigning for a season 9!

The campaign starts, as usual, with a petition. The goal is 10,000 signatures to prove to the CW OTH should have a s9. The petition is already at 4,000+ signatures and its only been open for a few days. Any fans out there that want a season 9 should head over to the OTH petition and sign away =)

This year's campaign will also involve sending mini basketballs to CW offices, and CD mixes. The idea is to use things that are always present in OTH. Basketball has been around since season 1 with the Ravens, and music has been a huge part of the show starting with Peyton's obsession, and continuing with all of the musical guests over the years.  For more information on the campaign click here and check out their facebook page. 

Love Is Louder

By now everyone is aware of the string of suicides that happened last year. The important thing is to keep supporting those in need, and this campaign is doing that beautifully. Love is Louder.  They are continuing to put their name out there and literally spread love and support. For me, the suicides from last year were heartbreaking. I feel terrible for anyone who has to go that far to avoid the pain. What people say about you does NOT matter, bullies get nowhere in life, and your TRUE friends will support you 100%. 

For you twitter users follow the hastag #LoveIsLouder! The campaign was formed by actress Brittany Snow, The Jed Foundation, and MTV. Brittany Snow and Sophia bush recently attended the Love Is Louder TShirt launch party in LA. You can purchase the Tshirt here, all of the proceeds will go to The Jed Foundation and Love Is Louder campaign.

Sweet Dreams Sucker...

Hi there,
This post may seem a little out of left field, but i figured I'd write it anyway. Lately I've had THE weirdest dreams. Think of all the horrible, strange, or confusing dreams you've ever had. Chances are I've had them. I don't know what it is, but I seem to wake up all the time trying to figure out what the hell  that dream meant.

I started getting tired of these dreams, and decided to buy a dream catcher. FAIL. I still had all sorts of Inception-type dreams every night. So after a while I embraced the craziness. I started googling dream meanings and what items or scenarios mean in your dreams. I came across this site, Dream Dictionary, and it is honestly fascinating.

Most of the time, if we dream of things apparently they mean the complete opposite. Here are some examples:

• To see a shooting in your dream, indicates that you have a set goal and know what to aim for in life. Your plans are right on target!
• To dream of an extremely small baby, symbolizes your helplessness and your fears of letting others become aware of your vulnerabilities and incompetence. You may be afraid to ask for help and as a result tend to take matters into your own hands.
• To see a ladybug in your dream, symbolizes beauty, and good luck. The dream may be a pun on something that is bugging your or a lady in your life. 
• To dream that you are Harry Potter, represents your desires to escape from reality. You are living in your own fantasy world. (I had to throw this one in to the examples out of pure fascination that they would even consider creating a meaning for dreaming of Harry)

So, the next time you just need to know what in the world that dream meant, check out the website, www.DreamMoods.com!
