One Week!

Alright so the final countdown has begun to November 4th and it’s killing me! No really it is killing me. Once November 5th rolls along I will be so excited to be done and over  it. The mud-slinging,the auguring and lies.. I mean it is politics!

The nighttime comics are having a field day. Yet the comic are the ones who are keeping the elcetion alive and making the young people so interested. If it wasn’t for men and women at Comedy Central, honestly many of us would have tuned out of the election. I know I would have lost interest.

Anyways, what I am trying to say is that you have one week to do all the research on the candidate of your choice and make a decsion on November fourth. But if you are like me  and you have either did one stop-voting or an absentiee ballot then you are in the money, your job is to wait until Election night to see if your candidate wins.

High School Musical 3 !

I am writing this while coming off a high. Not like a drug high, but off of a musical high. Singing and dancing has never been this intriging to me in a while episcally a Disney movie made after 1999. In case you haven’t notice I mean the movie HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3! I am not nessciarly going to say that it was the best I have ever seen, I mean I have seen better. I saw the first two, but I saw them through the girls I was babysitting, and while watching it I was trying to calm them down, so I really didn’t have much love. But I was pretty excited to see the movie this past friday.

I know you must be asking why on earth a college girl like myself would go see a movie that my 12 year old cousin would see. I do see that the dance sequences and that the music just stays in your head…Just watch the trailer and tell me what you think

 

 

The third installment of High School Musical is entitled Senior Year, due to the fact that the main characters (Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens,Corbin Bleu, Ashley Tisdale) are “going to college” next year and the want to leave with a bang! They basically do everything I did when I was a senior in High School, just with dancing and showtune numbers. The wildcats start the year off by winning the state championships in basketall…again. Then with the students going on to college Troy and Gabrielle have to put thier relationship up in the air, since they are both going to different schools…You know the typical High School Drama

10 DAYS!

It is my pleasure to say with excitement and anticipation, that Election Day is approaching FAST! As you all well know, this is very important election and it is so important for us to go out there and vote. I mean it doesn’t matter who you vote for, as long as you vote and get your voice heard.

Studies have shown the the 18-25 age group is one of the biggest groups to vote in this election.The Candidates and the rest of America will be looking at us on November fourth. We are the future leaders of the world so let our voice be heard!

I do have one bit of advice. In the state of North Carolina the dead line to register to vote was October tenth. In case you haven’t notice that date has passed! I have started to notice around

Sorry Again and Coming Attractions

I am so ashamed  of myself for the past couple of weeks. I have seriously haven’t gotten use to this college life! Anyways, I promis I will be back to me old ways and giving you…the ever so faithful reader reviews on your favorite music and movies old and new!

For your viewing pleasure, I want to show you and video that my cousin gave me to cheer me up.. Two silly  college boy and a female compainion make a hilarious remake of Spice Girls “Wannabe”…Enjoy

If that doesn’t cheer you up or make your day then I don’t know then. Once again I am so sorry for the looong delay… I will get right back to work!

Going Off Topic for a Minute

If you want to see a change then you have to BE the change.

So I must say that this blog is my favorite thing about being a college student. I like having to write opinions on music and movies. I really enjoy having you read them. But I have to let you know that there is one more thing in my life that is very Important to you. So Important that I have to stray away from movies and music to tell you.

That my friend is voting.

The 2008 general election is probably one of the most important election that has every been viewed in my eyes because:

1. We (the 18-25 age group) are considered the most important age group to vote this year
2.  Never before have we had  an election like this, I mean an African-American man  and a  seventy-two year old running for president. Also a woman running for vice president. That is Awesome!

Yet there are millions of young people who haven’t registered to vote yet!  That is not a cool fact to say. Come on y’all this is a BIG election coming up. This is Huge Election! I mean there may never be a chance to where there will be African American Man running for presidency or even a 72 year old man if that he gets elected then he will be the oldest man to be elcted into office. I am not supporting one or the other, I am just tell you…YES YOU! The Youth of America to go out to vote…Whether its for McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden…. You could even vote for yourself or Ron Paul…. JUST VOTE!

Our voice will be heard on November 4th!

If you are or not planning on voting  then you should think…and watch this video then register to vote

Until Next Time…Stay Fly

200 KM/H In The Wrong Lane

Alright, This album is totally old school. It came out when I was about to enter High School, I got it then and I still have it!  t.A.T.u’s 2002 release of 200 KM/H In The Wrong Lane. This Russian duo have been known to cause controversy in Russia and yet was still able to be on top of the charts there and in the USA.

The first U.S. single to ever be released by the duo was “All The Things She Said” the video was known for its suggested lyrics and the provocative video, that MTV had to limit its airtime in the day, and limit the content during the late night airtime. But if and when you saw the video it was really good. Here’s the video from the duo

After the release of the video, they duo hit it big on the United States bringing along the rumors and the trouble. Now the duo say that they are Lesbians, and that caused a fire storm. Conservatives groups wanted the group to be band. Some tabloid reports said that they were lesbians, while others didn’t think so. either way the duo became popular. Yet the band, was still big. Even if you didn’t want them to.

The Album to me has its upbeat Russian techno beats. The music can be very mellow and dramatic such as “All The Things She Said” and “Stars” which is about them coming out to their parents and leaving. The Entire Album is danceable. Even in the United States they released Russian version of the first two songs.

When it comes to recommending this album, I would say get it. Get it if you are not freaked out by two Lesbians singing about their “love” for each other. Get it if you like the lyrics and beats..

Until Next Time….Stay Fly

News Flash!

I just got word from a well-known movie website that the makers of Donnie Darko are making a sequel to the now cult classic.

S. Darko, takes place in the early 90s, several years after the orginal movie was set. The main character, Samantha  is the main story line…. Once I know more I will add on…

I wonder if it will be as good as the orginal?

Until Next time….Stay Fly
