Everyone's a critic...

So I've been testing out a lot of new things lately...especially music and new shows to get addicted to,  and so here's what I think...most will probably disagree on some of my opinions but controversy is almost always better than unanimity.

 Let's start with Kanye West's "My Dark Twisted Fantasy".  I have to say...I really don't like this album.  It has one or two good songs on it but overall I'm disappointed.  I liked his earlier music...his earlier album
"College Drop Out" was more my taste...this one...not so much.








Okay.  LMFAO.  I really like LMFAO.  I like their unique style.  I like their humor and I started to really take a liking to their songs.  I really really really wanted to like this album....but I'm not crazy about it.  It reminds me way too much of the Black Eyed Peas, which isn't necessarily bad in my opinion, but it's not really...them. Not to mention a lot of the songs on the album sound a lot alike.  Sorry guys...the best I could say is "Ehhhhhh". Though Champagne Showers is a pretty good track.

So I know a lot of people loved this album, but being that I'm just not a huge fan of 80's esque pop, I don't think it's fair for my to judge "Born This Way".  I loved the song "Born This Way" and a few other songs, but overall it's just not my thang.  I loved her two previous albums though if that counts for anything.

                                                     I finally watched the last season of 90210.  I was too young to watch it when it was actually on so a friend urged me to borrow his DVD's and watch the series.  I LOVED it in the beginning and then found myself only liking it but I had to finish something I started so I watched the whole series.  I really did love the series even though a lot of the time the acting was terrible and the story lines were tragically corny.  However, right until the end I wished Brenda would have returned. 

 I'm currently an aspiring Advertising Creative Director, but I believe even if I wasn't I'd have still LOVED LOVED LOVED this show.  I watched the first season and wow 1950's scandal is amazing.  Definitely looking forward to season 2.

                               For my birthday, my friend bought me the entire Tudors series because I loved the series of books by Philippa Gregory.  I wish I could get more in to it but so far the series just seems like soft core Renaissance Porn.  I'm trying...I'm on disc 3, but I've got to tell you...it's been kind of hard to watch.  Though props to Bessie Blount and Anne Boleyn.  Both incredibly sexy ladies.



Until next time..... <3

Thanks...

I find myself always avoiding writing in my blog.  The truth is that sometimes my posts are shallow and are about chapstick or something of that nature.  But every now and then I have the urge to write when I start realizing how truly sad life can be at times.  I avoid writing about it because I'd rather not depress anyone.
Make no mistake, I am so thankful for everything I have in my life.  I have my ups and downs.  But on a daily basis awful things are happening in the world.  From the one side of the spectrum you have wars, diseases and famine.  But on the other side, you have the small negative things happening to each individual person, like drug addicted parents, or the inability to support their own children.

They're not kidding when they say everyone has their own share of problems.  They really do! I have met many people in my life, and they each were fighting their own battles. Some more successfully than others I might add.  Arguably, good things happen in the world as well.  Not to get all Forrest Gump on you, but I believe that life is like a rollercoaster rather than a box of chocolates.  You have the bad moments (which are the inclines to the top) and then you have the exhilarating wonderful moments (the rush of the way down).
I can't help but be so grateful that the bad things in my life are not as bad as others.  Somewhere out there, there are people conquering much bigger obstacles than my own.  Rather than write about something shallow today, I wanted to take a moment to be grateful...
