I've Had Enough!

"I'm sorry, who sings this song? Isn't this Jay Sean? Wait...no...he sounds like him! What about this song? What? So this is not Trey Songz? Whaaaaaaa???!"

Okay as you can see, I am really frustrated with today's music. It's bad enough that the radio stations are over playing songs and instead of liking them I end up hating them. Like I did with Jason Mraz song "I'm Yours."

I don't know what to say? Many songs sound like each other, worse, most of today's biggest hits singers sound like each other.

Today anybody can make a song about anything as long as it's catchy (think "Tick Tock" and "Blah, Blah, Blah" by Kesha, "Videophone" by Beyonce, "Poker Face" by Lady GaGa, "How Low" by Ludacris, "Carryout" Timbaland ft. Justin Timberlake. Okay many listed are not anybody but listen to the lyrics and you'll understand what I am talking about) and you will make millions of dollars and maybe get lucky and earn a Grammy. Its more of who can be the daring artist as in fashion. Who can offend the most and get lots of buzz? Who can SELL more in the end? It's more of a competition in sales than talent and the quality of the album. It's really sad to see that it's coming to this.

My Former "Celebrity" Boyfriends

My sister and I had a conversation about my former boyfriends in the kitchen as I was busy preparing my dinner and she's making her tea.

So how did this conversation start? She was telling me about Leonardo Dicaprio and his girlfriend Bar Rafaeli. Here is the history:

I dated Leondardo Dicaprio in 1997 but after several months broke up. Justin Timberlake and I met and we dated for few years then we went to our separate ways. I went out with James Blunt on couple of dates, yes, as my sister has said, he was my rebound boyfriend in 06. Then last year, I met Robin Thicke. No, I am not in a relationship with him. He is a really good friend even though my sister thinks the opposite. He has a beautiful wife and is about to have a little boy. No...he is my good friend. So now...I am single and still friends with all of them.

So after the minute and a half conversation, we both went to the leaving room and enjoyed our dinner and watched some TMZ then the "Karaoke" Idol.

Look what so called "celebrity crush" does to a person. Such a high school thing to do. I'm so over it!

Welcome Home!

Welcome back me. I am officially going to make the time and effort to start blogging again. Oh, how I miss you blog! It's a feeling like no other. For almost a year, I've been working at two jobs, seven days a week. Now, I am glad I have Saturdays off (still with the two jobs). The only day I get to sleep in late. Oh, sleep! How I miss you too. Though I had a full time job two years ago, I used to sleep in late on the weekends and still had the time to go out, online, and write; most importantly I was relaxed!

Time is different now with the economy going down the drain. It's disheartening. Thousands of jobs lost and excruciatingly difficult to find one. People losing their homes, some elementary and high schools closed and others nominated for closure. More and more cuts everywhere. It's very stressful. We need to solve this now but no one has the magic wand to make all the problems go away. Let's just hope that in another year or so, all this will be in the past and find ourselves at a better stage.

Well, that's all I have for tonight. I have to go to sleep and be ready for work. For tomorrow's blog:

Not impressed with Palin on SNL

Among the McCain-Obama campaign, Colin Powell's endorsment, and Joe The Plummer headlines, national news stations continue to talk about Sarah Palin's appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL). The much anticipated appearance didn't turn out the way most people expected: Fake Palin vs. Real Palin.

Sarah Palin's appearance generated the highest ratings for SNL since 1994. However, her part in the show was a big flop. I felt the show would've been great the way it did without Palin's appearance as she has done nothing. I felt that she was forced to be there and try to be "cool" with what they do. Hey, they are getting popular now with the Palin skits, right? So no big deal, hopefully it will help her campagin. Not so sure about that.

I was hoping that Sarah Palin and Tina Fey would come face to face and maybe have a competition like jeapordy or something, you know, testing their IQ. Isn't her ignorance the big joke? I would've called the skit, "The battle of Palin vs. Palin". They just walked past each other. What the hell was that???? It was the WEAKEST opening ever. Sure, I'll give Palin points for being at SNL where mostly everyone is against her but was it funny: No.

I really enjoyed the rap song during the "Weekend Update" segment. I thought that very pregnant Amy Poehler did an amazing job and I cared less for Palin rocking out to the music. Who from SNL's big brains okayed this? Icertainly don't think that her throwing her hands into the air is cute. It would've been funny if Amy or Seth Meyers called Tina Fey as Palin to sing the song. Now that would be interesting.

SNL played it safe, maybe too safe for this politician. We'll I guess the Palin jokes end now.

A tout a l'heure it was indeed

A tout a l'heure it was indeed
Wow, it's been about five months since I posted and many things had happened. Hmm...well, all I can say are these to sum up the highlights:
- The stock market needs a CPR.
- I didn't know that Obama and McCain are "funny".
- Sarah Palin should be given an award for inspiring SNL to become funny again. Oh, and one for the screwed up economy (watch the "Macgyver" parody on SNL called "McGruber" in 10/18/08 epsiode).
- Joe "The Plummer" isn't really a plummer and one that certainly does not represent me.
- $720 billion bailout for stupidity. Are you f*(%*@(# kidding me?
- The McCain campagin should offer free History and etiqutte courses in their rallies for its supporters.
- Did Suze Orman escape from the Wax Musuem?

I'm sure there are more, but it's too late to list them. It's late and I need to go to sleep.

Stop with the "Is this news" crap!!!!

Don't you hate it when your phone rings and you:
- are sleeping
- are ready to enjoy the your "kick-ass" lunch you made.
- are about to go to the restroom.
- realize you need to take a nap.

In all these events, you'll question, "Should I pick up the phone now or have the answer machine answer? What if it's an emergency? WHAT IF?" You'll get up, pick up the reciever and find out its your local newspaper calling with their crappiest deal ever!

Despite the number of times I said I'm not interested and please remove me from your calling list, they will tend to disturb me over and over again. But here's the question, "Why should I pay for something that I can get for free online?"

All the sections of the newspaper are posted online and what I like about it is the comments section at the end of the news stories. It's interesting to see what people say. What I found absurd and disturbs the hell out of me is the "Is this news?" comment.

Seriously, "Is this news?" Well, is it? It is certainly a fine piece of article of information based on a certain event that had taken place today. It was either informative, entertaining, disturbing, or bewildering...so...hmm...I don't really know. Maybe we should ask someone who reads real "news."

News and Purpose

I haven't been paying attention to news lately though I do read the news online. Just random stories here and there. I haven't found anything of quality to blog about. It's either that or I'm just to lazy to.

I looked back at my posts and started to question the purpose of my blog page. I realized that I mainly wrote about entertainment. Is that it? I also realized that I would like to be a journalist. I'm not sure if I want to report on international stories or entertainment although it's a bit obvious which direction I'm heading. I like writing, something I never thought I'd like to do. Umm...i'm really not sure what's the purpose of this post.

Hmmm....it appears, ladies and gentlemen, that this is a filler blog.

A tout a l'heure.
