Weirdo Wednesday: Facebook Punishments


  Okay so usually on Weirdo Wednesday I talk about a weird celebrity, but this week I am changing it up and talking about real people doing really weird things.
  Now a while back we heard about a dad who shot his daughter's computer because she was talking bad about her parents on her Facebook page. I think that is the craziest way to punish your kid no matter what they say about you on their social networking sites. Because if you think about it he probably bought that laptop for her and what is shooting her computer going to do. I don't have children, but if my parents were that crazy I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have learned my lesson.
  A new story came out that parents posted embarrassing pictures of them on the daughter's Facebook page. They took away her phone and took 10 photos of them doing embarrassing things then posted them on her Facebook.
  I think that these parents think that they are being silly and cool when in reality they need to actually become parents and punish their kids.
  I don't know, what do you think of this whole Facebook being a new form of punishment for parents?

Tunes Tuesday: Kina Grannis


  Kina Grannis is one of my favorite singers of all times, mostly because I have been to two of Kina Grannis' shows and after each one she does a meet and greet, during the show Kina talks to you and laughs and the last time she told a joke. Kina Grannis got her start on YouTube covering songs then started releasing her original songs. Now with 5 albums under her belt, Kina Grannis is in the process of writing album number 6.
  My favorite song of Kina's is Strong Enough. I first heard it on YouTube, it was actually the first Kina Grannis song I heard. Kina Grannis is a talent on guitar and her ukele. On Stairwells the most recent album of Kina Grannis, there are three covers. Disturbia by Rihanna, Ths Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, and White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes. My top pick out of the three of those covers is Disturbia, much better then the original.
  If you're interested in Kina Grannis' other songs my favorites are, Another Day and People off of the Sincerly, Me album. Back to Us, The Goldfish Song, and Cambridge all of those are off the Stairwells album.
  If you like acoustic songs that have meaningful lyrics, check out Kina Grannis and be sure to let me know your favorite Kina song.

Movie Monday: The Amazing Spiderman


  I am not of fan of the original Spider-Man movies featuring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, but when I saw Emma Stone would be playing Spider-Man's leading lady in the new Spider-Man movie that comes out of Blu Ray and DVD November 9th, I was very happy and I had to go see it in theaters.
  The Amazing Spider-Man is a little different then the original Spider-Man that was released 2002. Peter Parker tries to figure out why his parents disappear, he ends up at his dad's old partner Dr. Curt Connors. Peter is bitten by a spider and later develops Spider like powers. Peter Parker starts to help do good with his powers by stopping criminals and trying to make New York a better place, but the head police officer hates Spider-Man and does everything in his power to get rid of the guy behind the red mask. Peter Parker falls for Gwen Stacy played by Emma Stone, who is the police officers daughter.
  Now my favorite parts of the movie are when Spider-Man is trying to find a certain bad guy who wears black and robs stores. You laugh a lot, but you also cry(well at least I did, a little bit).
  The new Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield is awkward, but in a hilarious way and I feel like he plays Peter Parker's character very well. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone have chemistry off and on set, so what more could you ask for.
  I can't wait for this to come out on DVD and I really can't wait for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which is set to come out in 2014.
  Tell me your thoughts on the movie down below in the comments!

Show Sunday: Boy Meets World

  This show is a classic, it was big on ABC from 1993 to 2000. Boy Meets World follows Cory Matthews starting the first season, Cory is in 6th grade and the series ends in season 7 with Cory Matthews in college.
  Throughout the series your favorite characters, Shawn(Cory's best friend since episode one), Eric(Cory's brother), Mr. Feeny(Cory's teacher throughout the series) and of course Topanga(Cory's soul mate) are always there for Cory when he is down or wants to get in trouble.
  Boy Meets World is one of my favorite shows of all time, it's so funny and sweet. I like all of the seasons specially when Cory, Shawn, Topanga, and Eric so off to college. Season 5 is where Angela(Shawn's true love) and Jack(Shawn's half brother) come in, then in Season 6 Rachel(Eric and Jack's roommate at one time) comes in. The whole group are close, but still have their ups and downs.
  My favorite character of all besides Eric the funny one, or Topanga the pretty one, or Cory the awkward one. My favorite is definitely Mr. Feeny, although Mr. Feeny is the Matthews mean old neighbor and a teacher at the middle school, high school, and college Cory attends. Mr. Feeny always says something to help heal or help his students, and you see throughout the series Eric and Mr. Feeny have the closest relationship out of this tight group.
  Now although this show is sweet and helpful at times, if you are having a bad day and need a good laugh watch Boy Meets World, it will cure you instantly.

Samm's Saturday: Quotable Movies


  Wow, I almost have 800 views! Thank you so much that is so big to me, so thank you!
  Okay now I don't know about y'all, but I love movies. How do I figure out what my favorite movie is, you ask, well I will tell you.
  The reason I love a certain movie is if that movie is quotable. If you can quote the same movie lines over and over again without them getting old then you know it is a good movie.
  These are some of my favorite movies with my favorite quote from that movie(it is hard to pick just one). Now before I tell you the movies I want you to know I love movies for more then just them being quotable, but that is a great reason.

  1. Just Friends- Yeah ten years ago back when I was a whale!
  2. Little Rascals- if we were your kids we would punish ourselves. 
  3. Mean Girls- I'm sorry that people are so jealous of me, but I can't help it that I'm popular
  Now these are more comedy films, but I am into all types of movies, so to widen my variety I will be watching any movie thrown my way, comedy, action, drama, romance, sci fi, thriller, and horror. In two weeks on Movie Monday I'll be doing a review on one of those movies.
  So how do I find that lucky movie? Well I'll tell you how, all you readers post your favorite movie quote down below in the comments with the movie title. Then I'm going to choose the best quote and watch that movie, in a couple weeks I'll review that movie for y'all. 
  Now if you don't know how to comment on this blog other ways to contact me are Facebook, Twitter, or you can email me. All of those thing you can find at the top under contact me and the email is under contact in about me.

Fashion Friday: Icons

  Today I am talking about fashion icons, everyone has one or even more then one.
  My fashion icon is the star of the CW TV show Gossip Girl. Blake Lively stars in Green Lantern and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
  I choose Blake Lively as my fashion icon, because she is always put together and looks beautiful whether she is grocery shopping, on the red carpet winning awards, or even when she is reading lines on Gossip Girl.
  These are my top two Blake Lively looks. I would also like to hear about your fashion icon below in the comments.

Theme Thursday: Pretty Little Liars


  Pretty Little Liars is a show about four best friends who start getting texts and letters from a stalker that goes by A. In the past seasons, one A was revealed and put in a psych ward. The person that everyone thought killed Ali was found dead and the other one was put in jail and later let out. The four best friends try and find out what really happened the night their friend was killed, and who A is.
  The Pretty Little Liars show is not as good as the books, but the show is getting better every episode. I don't like the show because they will just go in circles, not telling you who A is, who Ali's killer is. Finally in the season finale last season another A was revealed, and on the Halloween special Garrett was killed.
  I am pretty sure that there are at least 3 As, Toby, Mona, and my next guess is it's probably one of the little liars.
  Aria, Hanna, Emily, and Spencer go through a lot in one episode, with A, their families, and their love lives, but at least they are well dressed. That is definitely my favorite thing about the show, the fashion.
  Not sure what is going to happen next when the show comes back in January, but I have a feeling that another A will be revealed, and it's not gonna be who we expect.
  Tell me your thoughts on the show down below.

Weirdo Wednesday: Honey Boo Boo


  Today on this Wednesday I am changing things up a little bit, instead of one person I am focusing on a family the Thompson family, from the TLC hit show Honey Boo Boo Child. 
  Honey Boo Boo is a little girl named Alana Thompson, originally on the TLC show Toddlers and Tiaras. Alana and the rest of her family are a group of white trash people who are looking for fame and fortune in every way possible.
  I tried to watch the TV show and it was disgusting, the family is just gross and disgusting. I turned it off after about 10 minutes of it. 
  Many people have raved about the show and talked about how amazing and funny it is, but the family makes it gross. It's kinda sad because Alana can't be older then 6 and I don't like her, mostly because of how she is raised. 
  What do you think of the Thompson family? Tell me down below in the comments

Tunes Tuesday: Die Young by Ke$ha


  Kesha disappeared for a while after her last single Blow, blew up the charts. Now Kesha is back with a new hit single called Die Young. There is no music video yet for the new Kesha tune, but I have listened to the song very many times.
  It's probably my favorite Kesha song, my favorite part is the chorus and I'm still trying to figure out my thoughts on the rest of the song. The verses have a rap style to them, which Kesha does well.
  A fun fact about Kesha I figured out her real name is Kesha, but unlike her stage name there is no dollar sign in her birth name.
  Please tell me what you think of the new Kesha hit and also what your favorite Kesha song is.

Movie Monday: Pitch Perfect


  I saw this with my sister earlier this month. We have been so excited about this movie before and even now after we saw it. I laughed the whole time, fat Amy was definitely the funniest character.
  Pitch Perfect is about an all girl singing group, they go to competition against their college's all boy singing group. Anna Kendrick's character Becca is the new girl who tries to turn the Bella's into a new modern version.
  My favorite scene in the movie is when the Bella's go in the back alley looking place and sing against the other college's singing groups. Becca takes center stage in a rap battle against the all boy group.
  Over all I think the movie is definitely a big hit and I'm very happy I got to see it. Go watch the movie you are gonna laugh your butt off.

Show Sunday: Emily Owens M.D


  I have to be honest the commercials for this new CW show were awful. I thought this was going to be a annoying stupid show, but it's not.
  Emily Owens is a new surgeon at a hospital in Denver, along with her Med School crush, her high school enemy, a lesbian who is Emily's new friend, and Emily's role model who turns out to be a mean doctor. The show has only had one episode that has aired already. I have watched that episode three times, it's just so funny and entertaining.
  My favorite scene so far is where Emily is stuck with discharge papers for a little girl who faints a lot, the little girl and Emily get to know each other and you get to see Emily's loving and fun side.
  So far this show is great and I can't wait for episode two, I'm so excited.

Samm's Saturday: YouTube Artists

  My obsession is YouTube, I spend about 70% of my time on YouTube. Watching artists sing covers and original songs is what I watch on YouTube the most. Today on this fine Saturday night I am going to give you my favorite and least favorite YouTube Artists. I will be doing YouTube unknowns very often because I love spreading the word on my favorite singers and songwriters who have an amazing talent that isn't being heard enough.


  Before I get into all of that I wanted to tell you that on YouTube, I love when it's original. Not pre-recorded and then put on a video or anything like that. Most YouTube Artists these days upload songs that way. Which is the way it is, but if I could choose I would choose that these artists record live without all that fancy stuff.
  Now getting into my least favorite YouTube Artist. My least favorite is sabrinavaz1. Sabrina is a girl who does a lot of new popular radio hits. Sabrina's voice is to forced and doesn't have a lot of change to her voice. Sabrina is young and pretty all she needs are a few more voice lessons. I wish that Sabrina would do more soft laid back type videos, instead of her yelling the song as a record over her dancing in a tube top, with dragon nails.
  Now for  my favorite YouTube artist, this decision for one was very hard, mostly because I have a bunch to choose from so I am giving you two.
  Number 1 is Kait Weston, Kait is a very fun and talented singer. She has range and vocals that are outstanding. Kait does a bunch of covers with her cousin Sean Scanlon. Both are amazing and talented. Please do go check them out, you won't be sorry.
  Number 2 is Megan Faria, Megan is a new artist I heard and fell in love with since the very beginning. She is so normal, that's a weird way to put it, but you can tell when listening to her and hearing her voice, that she has potential to be someone incredible. An amazing singer and songwriter, but also a great person to her fans and everyone around her.
  I don't know these people and I may not be giving an accurate review about them, but I am giving my opinion on their music.
  Go check out my top two and tell me yours.

Fashion Friday: Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish


  I am a girl and an advantage of being a girl is getting to paint your finger nails and definitely your toe nails. I try and paint my nails a different color every time I re paint them. I have been trying new brands that have are bigger and better then the cheap stuff that doesn't last very long.
  A new nail polish I have found that I am obsessed with is Maybelline Color Show. It goes on perfectly, they have fun colors, and it's pretty affordable.
  I have the Green with Envy, it's a mint color, that is also in the picture above. I painted the mint color on my toes and it has lasted for about 3 weeks now. Soon I'll be painting my fingernails with that color.
  I can't wait to try other colors soon, I want to know your favorite color from this collection.

Theme Thursday: Pretty Little Liars Books

  Theme Thursday this month of October is Pretty Little Liars. I may be doing this Theme again, but because of the fact that there are two Thursdays left in October. This Thursday i will be talking on my opinion on the books and next Thursday I will be talking about the show.
  The books are my favorite, they are written by Sara Shepard. I have read 5 out of 14 books. The first arc of books hold Pretty Little Liars, Flawless, Perfect, and Unbelievable. Sara Shepard wrote Pretty Little Secrets a book about the winter break between the books Unbelievable and Wicked. Wicked, Killer, Heartless, and Wanted are part of the second arc. The third and final arc of Pretty Little Liars books contain Twisted, Ruthless, Stunning, and Burned.
  Sara Shepard is releasing a Prequel called Ali's Pretty Little Liars in January of 2013.
  I'm a big fan of reading and Pretty Little Liars is so far one of my favorite series. Although I haven't read a lot of the books in this series I do like it more then the show.
  I have read a few differences in the books then there are in the show. The characters are differently describe then you see in the show, the story line is much different then whats going on in the show.
  My favorite book in this series so far, is definitely Unbelievable. A lot happens in Unbelievable, the stalker who has been sending anonymous texts to Hanna, Aria, Spencer and Emily since Ali's funeral is reveled.
  I'm going to be reading Wicked very soon and I'll be sure to let you know how that goes.
  Make sure to comment with your favorite book and character from the Pretty Little Liars book series.
