Fuck You Dancing With The Stars

That's right, I said it.Fuck you.You pulled me in with your crappy backing band, sexy Maks and the wonderful Mel B.You made me not fear the powerhouse that is Scary Spice.However,you are a bastard.A dirty,dirty bastard.The judges clearly favored Helio and he just stood there while his partner danced around him.Mel B. brought awesomeness to every performance and should've won it based on her vianesse waltz which was the best dance ever on the show.But NO!Stupid people think it's so amazing to see a man dance that they have to vote for him because men never dance in the real world.Yeah right.It didn't help that the bastards were clearly favoring him with their outlandish praise and inflated scores.I am now done with this show,unless another Spice Girl comes on then I will be forced to watch it.The look on Mel B's face when she lost was depressing and I hope they are happy.I couldn't even bear to watch the whole show once I saw the ending because I taped it and will be promptly taping over it tonight.Also,Carrie Ann is a ho.You do not insult the Spice Girls because they will kick your scrawny ass.She must not be aware that one of them is named Sporty Spice.If Carrie Ann was a Spice Girl, her name would be Dipshit Spice.I must now sulk.I still love Mel and Maks and if I lived near one of the cities,I'd go to a Spice Girls concert.She brought the Spice Girls back into everyone who watched the show's lives and that was worth the entire shitty season.I will say this forever...I LOVE THE SPICE GIRLS AND I'M NO LONGER FRIGHTENED BY SCARY SPICE!!!!!!!!!

Half Asleep Moments

When I came home for Thanksgiving break on the 16th,I was exhausted.I'm sleep deprived all week and it caught up to me.I fell asleep on the couch and my mother was watching tv and had on E! News.She woke me up from a sound sleep because the Spice Girls were on and I love them.I was still drozy so I didn't think anything of it,but then she woke me up again at 7:30 and scared the hell out of me.The most frightening thing to do to a person is wake them up to the image of Geri Halliwell.Don't get me wrong,I love all of them but she needs to shut the fuck up!!!!!She's not the only Spice Girl and frankly I'd like to hear Emma Bunton speak a little more or even one of the two Mel's.I don't mind that VB talks a lot because she's awesome,but a bitch needs to know when to shut up.In other news,I'm glad that Mel C. is dressing a little more feminine and removed the gold tooth from her mouth.I love her solo work,but when I think of the Spice Girls the first image I get in my head is striped pants and a gold tooth.Also,Mel B. needs to win Dancing With The Stars.I've never watched it regularly before and I only tuned in to see the Sexxxy Apollo Anton Ohno.I get an incestual vibe from Marie Osmond and when she fell into her brother's lap last week,I look over at my mother and said "They probably have sex with each other."Also Helio just stands there while his partner moves around him.It would be horrible if Mel B. got voted off because she always does amazing,especially last weeks split-walk which was awesome.Sadly,I won't be able to watch it this week because the stupid Steelers are playing so they're showing it tomorrow at 9,when I'm at my dorm sleeping.The bastards!!!GO MEL AND MAKS!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving Break!!!!!

There's one thing that I love about college and that is the BREAKS!!!!!!I had ten days off and they were wonderful.I went home and tormented the dog and watched some kick ass hockey games.It was the best break of my life because it's just as long as Christmas break in high school and I got to do some awesome things.I got my ID at the DMV and then went to the movies with my mother on Wednesday.We saw August Rush and there's only one thing I can say about it...Felicity!!!!!I heart Keri Russell and she was awesome in this movie.She's like my second favorite actress,behind Jessica Biel...Noone could ever replace her. Then we went to the mall and had chicken sangwiches and then we ventured in Victoria's Secret and I bought the Spice Girls CD,which is awesome.Then we went to Wal-Mart and I dominated on Rock Band and then we went home.On Thursday we had dinner at my grandparent's house and I got the last season 1 of The Office at K-Mart which was a mad house.I love Thanksgiving and the wonderful deals it brings.Then we went home and watched Tony Romo and TO dominate which was awesome.On Friday we went shopping at Target and I got the Second Season of The Office and The Sixth Season of Gilmore Girls for an awesome price. Then I saw a terrifying sight.We went to Kohls and the crazy shoppers broke the front door and there was a line that went around the entire store and probably lasted two hours.We didn't buy anything which was good and then I just chillaxed for the rest of the break.It went faster than I though it would,which sucked because I'd rather be at home then here.I miss my dog already :(

Rockband!!!!!!!!!!

This weekend I had an experience that was so perfect that it can only be described in one word, Rockband!!!!!Wal-Mart, eventhough I hate them,is my new favorite place on earth. They have a demo for this marvelous game set up outside in the outdoor section where it's not cold and it's amazing. Noone goes out there and there wasn't a line so it was perfect. Rockband, in a nutshell, is a game that is similar to Guitar Hero except that you can sing, play the guitar or bass,or rock out on drums. I chose to rock out on the drums which was so sweet. They responded like a real electric drum kit would and it felt so cool to play along to real songs, instead of the stupid covers in Guitar Hero. I wanted to play another song because it was so cool and I had a captive audience of adults that were confused as to what I was doing, but my mother was bored and wanted me to quit so I did. Hopefully I'll be able to play it again this weekend and over Thanksgiving break because I haven't been able to stop thinking about it and it's awesomeness.

Mandy Moore Concert

There are some things that you go into knowing that they're going to kick your ass.I was not expecting that from a Mandy Moore concert.Before this concert,I liked some of her movies and songs,but I wasn't listening to them all the time like some of the other singers I enjoy or telling people that I like her.Most people,when you say the name Mandy Moore,think of either A Walk To Remember or the cheesy video for Candy with her and backup dancers dancing in front of VW Beetles.It's not exactly something that most people want to be boasting about.I was just surfing the web and came across her website and was surprised to see a listing for her at the Palace Theatre in Greensburg which is like ten minutes from my house.Needless to say,my mother had no choice in the matter and tickets were bought and plans were made.I did not expect to come out of that concert with extremely high expectations for how a concert and a performer should sing and show emotion for their songs.The first thing that put me off about the concert was when the security guard tried to take the batteries from my camera,so I couldn't take any pics and had to put it in the glove compartment of my mom's car.We were walking inside and the bass player from the band walked past us which was pretty cool and they were selling some merchandise inside,but nothing that was worth my money.The first opening act was Chris Stills,who was pretty good and excellent at the guitar,and the second act was Rachael Yamagata,who blew me away.She's an excellent singer and she was hilarious,however the older people in the audience didn't like her because she was telling a story and called someone in it a "Mother Fucker."After the concert I downloaded both of their cds,and I like them but don't listen to them as much as I'd want to formulate an opinion on how their recordings are.After two hours Mandy Moore finally came out and to be honest,she looked kind of pissed off,but she still kicked ass.She was playing the tambourine and was murdering it while she rocked out with the band.I never thought that I would put Mandy Moore and Rocking Out in the same sentence,but it was really cool.She talked to the crowd between songs and sipped tea and even had a few people in the crowd that followed her through her whole tour,more on that later.She then played a break up song and really got into it and looked angry and at the end of it stormed off the stage.I don't know if it was part of the act but I could see an assistant in the back of the stage running back and forth so maybe she got super into it and needed to cool off.After that she came back out and gave the audience one of the best performance that we've probably ever witnessed.She sang the song Gardenia and the lights were turned off and we just watched as she sang her heart out.At the end of it she got so emotional that she broke down into tears and had to turn her back on us so she could calm down,but it was amazing to see that kind of raw emotion in person over a song that has a lot of deep meaning.Everyone was silent after that and were in awe of the performance and then,once she seemed to be better,gave her the loudest applause of the night.A video of Gardenia being performed is on youtube and is awesome,but it's something that simply had to be witnessed in person to get the full effect and feel the emotion coming from her.After that she played guitar on one of her songs and was very good for a beginner and then warned us before the last song that it would be embarassing.She asked us not to make fun of her because we were in her trust tree and said that she was going to sing Candy!Rachael Yamagata came back on stage and they did the dorky dance from the video and then did the song which had the whole audience on their feet and dancing.Then the concert was over and everyone left and I heard nothing but good things coming from the rest of the crowd.My mother even loved it and I feel proud that I converted her into a Mandy Moore fan.However during the concert,we were sitting in front of someone that was a borderline stalker and brought a giant boquet of flowers for his "dream girl" according to him.He was in his 40's and had been following her career since she was 16 and is in love with her.He seriously freaked everyone out that was sitting around him and I was actually a little worried for Mandy because he's been following her tour around the country.That's what the security guys are for though.This concert was in September and I still remember it vividly and wish that I had been able to take better pictures than the ones I got on my camera phone.It was probably one of the top ten things I've ever been to in my life and I'll definitely come back if she ever comes to PA again.

The Love of The Game

There's a feeling you get when you love something.There's a certain feeling spreading through the Pittsburgh area for the Penguins that didn't exist two years ago when Sidney Crosby first arrived here or three years ago when there was a league-wide lock out,or even several years ago when the great Mario Lemieux came back to the game.It's nice to see so much support for the team, but I can't help but think that it's a band-wagon situation.The team lost two games in a row last week and everyone talked down about them and gave up on them,just like they did with Marc-Andre Fleury.Like last season,he's having trouble getting into the flow of things and everyone acts like it's time to trade him.He was the number one draft pick for a reason and he has talent that is hard to deny.Last year he had a large amount of shutouts and wins and held the team together defensively while their defense performed poorly.The fact that people are so willing to give up on him and put a backup goalie in his place is sickening. During a press coference by Michael Therrien,he acted disgusted with Fleury and stated that Sabourin earned his goaltending position for that night.Even great goalies have bad seasons,just look at how the Devils are starting out this season with one of the sports greats Brodeur.To give up on a player fourteen games into the season is ridiculous.Hockey shouldn't be about occasionally rooting for a team when they're doing well and starting to like them just because they had a winning season.It's about supporting them through the lock out and watching the All-Star game just for the chance of seeing one of your local heroes.It's the feeling you got when Mario Lemieux came back to the game and got his first goal or when he announced that the Pens were here to stay.It's the happiness and pride you feel when you hear Evgeni Malkin speak some English or when Colby Armstrong unexpectedly slams a guy into the boards.It's the feeling when you watch Sidney Crosby and know that some day he's going to be a legend,or when underrated guys such as Talbot have a few good games or when Erik Christensen became one of the leagues best shootout scorers.It's watching Fleury out there with his big yellow pads on,making awesome saves,and it's the anger when a ref refuses to call a blatant penalty or when the team loses in a close game.It's the disbelief that Lemieux's number still isn't retired league wide and he isn't held to the same status as Gretzky is.Most of all it's love.It's the love of the game and the players that makes hockey great.All I know is that I love hockey and I love the Penguins and everything they stand for,I have for as long as I can remember,and I haven't given up on them.Maybe other fans shouldn't either,because they're young and they're a growing team and they will undoubtly have bad seasons and good seasons but if noone is there to root for them through the ups and downs,what good is cheering for them when they're doing well?Can people really call themselves fans?

First Snow

In my opinion there are two things in life that get college students excited:Beer and Snow!I don't have any beer but what I have is snow.Today was the first snow of winter and it wasn't magical like it usually is.It was the kind of snow that is mixed with rain and it's cold and it's sticking to your face and you can't tell that it's snow unless you see that it's white.I was walking up to get lunch and of course I wasn't wearing a heavy jacket so I was freezing and I was surprised to see it on the 6th day of November so I had to call my mom and ask her if it really was snow.Needless to say,it was snow and later on I went up for dinner in the same jacket and it was snowing still.Sometimes snow makes things better and I think that's what I need because college isn't turning out to be what I hoped it would.I like most of my classes and there are people here that I genuinely like and enjoy being around,but maybe the fact that I'm an only child is hindering my ability to have a good dorm life along with my good college life.It just seems like I'm not wanted here and I'm sick of trying to fix things to make it standable for me. TV doesn't prepare you for this.It isn't like Joey and Audrey on Dawson's Creek or Laverne and Shirley in general(I know they weren't in college but I like the referance).Hopefully certain people will come through again like they did last time and try to help me,because I know that there are people here that really care and want to help.It's just horrible feeling like your homeless and out of your element when you're paying over $2000.I have a Argument and Research paper to get to so my diatribe will stop here.Adios.
