Pet Peeves

I’m sort of diverging from my original topic here, but I would like to talk a little about my pet peeves.

1.       The ‘I’ key on this keyboard. The key is missing so there is just a little white nub that feels off when you try to type.

2.       The word there, or their, or they’re. I always use the wrong one.

3.       When people ask me what I’m thinking. Honestly I can’t help what I’m thinking, so if I’m thinking about how ugly you are, you obviously don’t want to know that, and I don’t want to tell you that. (Not that you’re ugly or anything).

4.       When people go on and on about how smart they are. “I’m so good at this homework I’m not doing it until right now,  I mean I’m just so beastly,  I can do this with my eyes closed.” Ten minutes later. “Dude can you help me with this”

5.       You dirty little mutt. My sister has taken to saying this phrase every five seconds in the last twenty four hours. Obviously it gets on my nerves.

6.       The word believe. I spell it wrong every time!

7.       When people change their facebook photo too often. Or their photo doesn’t show their face. Or is a picture of a car.

8.       When people complain ALL the time, which is funny because what I’m doing right now is essentially complaining.

9.       Homework

10.   When people don’t know that Michael Jackson is dead, or they post a list of my ‘Criminal Activities’ on the internet. (For the record I do not participate in criminal activities, except maybe for the occasional J-walking. Although most of the time I stick to the crosswalk).

Kansas

I would like to speak about the epic music stylings of Kansas. Particularly Carry On My Wayward Son.
Before I go on you must listen to the song:

Click Here! DO IT!

Not only is their hair completely awesome, (Check it out-->)

they have amazing harmonies. Most of the band members a multi talented. One guitarest is shown playing piano with his guitar slung over his shoulder. The lead singer can also play a few instruments.

And who doesn't love when fire comes out of the stage!! I know I love it. This is going to sound weird, but this totally makes me want to head bang, just kidding, but still.

Michael Jackson

I've been a Michael Jackson fan since I was a little girl. When I was nine I asked for a DVD of his best music videos for Christmas. My grandma bought it for me, and I  can't tell you how many times I've watched it. Anyway I'm not really here to talk about his music, really more to say where I stand on the charges that he is a sex offender. Obviously I don't believe that he is.  I honestly don't understand how God would give an evil person so much talent. Even if you're not a religious person, just ponder this a bit. I know the world isn't a fair place, but it has to be against the laws of nature for evil person to be amazingly talented.

If you search Michael Jackson on Wikipedia the first sentence is "Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and philanthropist." Read that again it says PHILANTHROPIST. If you don't know what a philanthropist is Merriam Webster's dictionary defines it as : "one who practices goodwill to fellowmen; especially : active effort to promote human welfare" That to me doesn't sound like a child molester. Still not convinced? Read on.

In 1993 a thirteen year old boy, Jordan Chandler, and his father accused Michael Jackson of sexual abuse. This seemed immediately suspicious to me after I watched a video of Michael Jackson, and Jordon Chandler along with a few other children who were visiting Neverland. Jordan was telling a story about how he had a bad dream and went into Michael's room in the middle of the night and asked to sleep on the floor. Michael said that he could sleep in the bed, and that Michael would sleep in the chair. That is what Jordan said what happened. Someone watching this video later, thought it was a possibility that sexual activities had gone on, and asked Jordan Chandler's family if it had happened. A few weeks later Jordan accused Michael of sexual abuse.

So basically the Chandler family didn't even think about sexual abuse until someone planted the idea in their heads. Jordan had earlier said how great and nice Michael was. Something seems fishy.

Jordan's father was recorded saying "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be over" Double fishy. It seemed that Dr.Chandler only wanted money.

His mother insists that Jackson did nothing wrong. Even Jordan's own mother doesn't believe him.

Now it seem that after Michael Jackson's death, Jordan has come forward and said that he cooked the whole thing up, pressured by his dad to do so for money. He says he is sorry for ruining Michael's life. Now do I know if this is another scheme to get attention. Nope. But like I said, I refuse to believe that someone with that much talent would be an evil person.

The second time that Michael was accused of sexual molestation, once again it was not the families or the children who first had the ideas of sexual abuse, but an outsider watching a video. In the documentary "Living with Michael Jackson"  which was purposefully edited to make Michael look bad. Some people will do anything, ruin anyone's life, just for a little money.

The way you make me feel <-- this is one of my all time favorite songs of his. Michael Jackson is one of those people, that when you listen to their music you just want to do something with your life, or make the world a better place. Whenever I listen to this song I feel elated. Some one who can evoke such positive emotion in people wouldn't do such evil acts.

This is kind of bad quality but it's a good interview to watch:
Michael Jackson Interview

One of the reasons I think Michael Jackson was so easy to prey on is that he is very eccentric, and seems almost naive. His voice is so pure he sounds like a child, and he centers his entire life around religion and his various causes. He's the kind of person who should be celebrated, not rumored about, or have jokes made about.

!!

Best Show ever.
My favorite line, "you may want to pick a more masculine note." If you don't know what I'm talking about you obviously didn't watch it to the end. So do that. And while you're at it, why don't you watch all 10 seasons of friends. It will make your life.

So there was really no point for this blog post, except to brighten your day with a fantastic video.
CONSIDER YOUR DAY BRIGHTENED!

Michael Buble

I would like to take a break from my usual ranting about terrible artists, and pay homage to a truly phenomenal one. That would be Michael Buble, if you didn't guess that from the title.

The first song I ever heard of his is "Feeling Good" it's one of those songs that makes you feel like you can fly. Whenever I hear it I want to dance and belt it, and it always gets stuck in my head, which is okay with me.  My sister bought a Michael Buble CD for my mom's birthday a few years ago, and one of it's really great qualities is that it's appeal spans across generations.

Recently his music has become really popular, especially the song "I just haven't met you yet." This is one fad that I am proudly part of, and I'm glad people are finally realizing the true genius of this man.

You NEED to watch this!

Above - if you aren't already aware - is the music video for "Feeling Good"
I really enjoy it, it's kind of corny, so it makes me Chuckle. His dancing about a minute in is... entertaining, a really like that he can act silly and laugh at himself.

music that makes you want to pull your hair out

You've all seen the movie twilight, and most of you probablly think Robert Pattinson is pretty damn hot (Gag), but if you hear his singing on the twilight soundtrack you might change your mind. I sounds like his mouth is tied shut.

I would have never gone seaking out this song, it's just a very drunk woman was going on about how sexy Robert Pattinson was, and how great a singer he is. Needlessly to say, I had to check it out, and what I found out is, you have to be drunk to think he's a good singer.

You have to give him a little credit though, he says he wasn't aware that he had to sing when he signed the Twilight contract, and his guitar playing is pretty good.

Here is the song, it's called "Never Think"

Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne just announced that his album "I Am Not A Human" is going to be a full length album now. Great. We really need more Lil Wayne music in this world. That was sarcasm.

First of all the title "I Am Not A Human" is stupid. A more effective title would be simply ' Not Human.' Also, can you get anymore conceited than that. Really, "I am not a human" implies that you are godlike, or a super hero. I guess it could also be "I am not a human," as in an animal, but if that was case, it would defiantly have some sexual undertones.

Lil Wayne is also a stupid name. I mean, who walks around saying Lil' I feel like an idiot every time I say that.

He's also in jail at the moment. I don't think anyone who has had to serve jail time deserves to be famous, and influence millions of people. I can't respect a man who has so many tattoos, and is a rapper, and has been in jail, that's just to much. I would really admire him if he cleaned himself up, getting out of the cycle of being in and out of jail is tough, and I've seen many people who have been in a similar situation, and are now leading happy healthy lives with there families. But I don't see this happening anytime soon with lil' Wayne.

Okay, now I can get to his actual music now that I'm done ranting.
Well mostly he raps and uses auto tune, which i don't think I need to say how I feel about.
He uses his creepiness to get by on most songs, rather than talent.

Here is the music video to Lollipop

So if you watched the video, you would see there are a lot of girls who are somehow turned on by Lil Wayne. If you don't see how that is totally wrong, why don't you take another look at the photo above. If anyone here thinks that is attractive, let me know and I will help you find a mental hospital.
