There isn't a lot to me. I'm not simple, but I'm not overly complicated either.
I grew up in Maine and I don't think I'll ever be able to shrug the easy going, friendly, small town mind set I have. Everyone matters.
Someone recently asked me "Why the hell don't you have a boyfriend?!" I honestly can't answer that question. I'm constantly meeting people in bars, I was (until recently) on a million plus social networks... I don't know what it is.
I'm a hopeless romantic. I want the world. A hand to hold.
Mission Statement:
This blog is to become my art. It's going to be a platform for discussion on everyday topics. I want to know what's on your mind.
This blog will be fun. This blog will be creative. This blog will be a gossip magazine, an inspirational guide, an advertisement, a political platform, this blog will be mine.
I have every right to change all that shit at will.
Deal.
Welcome.
Enjoy.

The pictures are also links!
I really wish this man had stood up and said these things years ago. It was touching to hear him speak in such PLAIN and SIMPLE terms about our basic rights as human beings in AMERICA. People seem to forget what the Constitution actually says and stands for.
I want to give this man a hug and say thank you.
I also want to congratulate him for taming a Fox News correspondent. He had is tail between his legs at the end of this one!
Yes! Another Robyn album to get lost to! I don't think I keep it much of a secret, I love this girl. I can remember wailing away to "Show Me Love" back in the 90's in the back of my mom's minivan with my brother and sister.
If you remember liking her then, you'll like her even more now.
Robyn's taken an great route with a mix of powerful lyrics, dance beats, alternative rock roughness and her cute little accent.
Body Talk Pt.1 is her newest album (which is ALMOST as good as her 2008 release: Robyn) to hit the shelves (a phrase that sadly doesn't really mean much anymore). It's like a fun punch in the face. I find it completely fresh and entertaining from beginning to end. From "Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do" to her little Swede ballad "Jeg vet en dejlig rosa" it's a sickly sweet alternative pop rock dance trip. And yes, it's possible to be all those things, and hers is smartly so.
Her first single "Dancing On My Own" is doing fairly well it seems. Playing in clubs, bars and every so often on the radio here in NY. It's a great emotional shove and caters to those of us who, sadly know the feeling of being aggravated and alone near the one we love. Bam. I love it.
I think her next single should be, if it hasn't already been announced - I'm a little behind on things having just received my new computer - should be "Cry When You Get Older". I think it's got a good radio friendly beat and chorus to it. It also has a great backbone and could be remixed a million ways, always a plus nowadays with people only buying one track off an album on iTunes or Amazon.
If you like Body Talk Pt.1, be excited... because it's part of a 5 part series. This is just the first installment of a Robyn take over which, I'm sure will dominate our ears and lives for the next year or so. I don't mind. Not one bit. Her first single off of Pt.2 is apparently "Hang With Me," which appears on Pt.1 in acoustic form. It's great. The actual singles already leaked online.
Another reason to be excited? She's touring the Kelis. Kelis has recently released a new album which goes back to her alt. roots... you should forgive her for "Milkshake" and give her a new look. I guarantee you've already heard one of her new songs and I'll bet you like it. Either way, the two of them together should be something else. Sadly all of their New York shows have sold out, but if you'd like to join me in the Craigslist quest for tickets, that's where I'll be the day of the show.
Watch and enjoy... (please note that she's singing live, and it sounds awesome... unlike most current popular musicians)
Finally back in the real world! (7/27/10) [View | Hide]
Hey y'all.
I've finally been brought back to the real world and have a computer sitting on my lap once again.
Oh, she's just being Miley... (5/5/10) [View | Hide]
Miley Cyrus is channeling some Britney "Stronger" and "Slave For You" and possibly some Michael Jackson "Thriller" and some Lady Gaga "Just Dance".
I'm loving this new video! The director did a good job of getting good angles and making her look like a the woman she is NOT. Remember, she's still a teenager! She's working it though!
I'm not a HUGE fan of the song, she's got better. The video is awesome though.
This is pretty funny. Some local 603-ers rewrote New York State of Mind (which is TOTALLY overplayed here in NY... I'd MUCH rather hear this one) and put it to a pretty funny video featuring video clips and photos of some familiar places in the Granite State.
Lee Alexander McQueen was a British designer and a force in the fashion industry. He's won countless awards, clothed everyone from Target shoppers to Celebrities to the First Lady of the United States.
It was announced earlier today that he took his own life by hanging himself, only days after his mothers passing.
His passing comes just days before London and New York fashion weeks were to begin.
Sad, sad, sad.
Suicide is not a way out. If you're going through a tough time and need someone to talk to know you're never alone. Speak out.
Does anyone know where I can find these shoes? I need them in a 12 or 13. haha.
They're designed by a famous artist named Para. The Vans website reads:
"The artist known as Parra delivers his unique illustration stylings all the way from his native Holland, to hit up some exclusive Vans kicks like these Parra Eras. Known for his cutting edge design elements and forward-thinking use of color, Parra's skills are some of the most sought after in the world, and pair up nicely with our classic low top lace-up skate shoe."
I can't find them in my size ANYWHERE! haha
I've been hunting for months.
How awesome are they!
GaGa and Cyndi tell it like it is. (2/10/10) [View | Hide]
This is a pretty awesome interview with GaGa and Cyndi Lauper on Good Morning America.
They're there to talk about the Viva Glam campaign with Mac Makeup that they're working with. Cyndi's been at it forever, but GaGa is just getting started with them.
It's a pretty good interview.
And I have to say... it is SO NICE to see artists really working for a cause. GaGa's only been around for two years or so and she's already working it out like someone who's been in the business for years. She knows she's got attention and instead of hawking some stupid shit she's talking about women and AIDS.
I love her.
And because she didn't hawk, I'll do it for her.
GaGa is selling t-shirts on her website for Haiti relief. Check those out here.
She's also selling some sick headphones with Beats called Heart Beats... they'd be a pretty special gift for a loved one on Valentines Day. Here they are. They come in a few different colors and actually consist of state of the art sound technology. They're comparable to Bose.
She's also got tickets to another leg of her US tour going on sale soon.
And don't forget to pick up the deluxe edition of The Fame called The Fame Monster. It has all 8 of her new songs on it plus the original The Fame album.
She was also cool enough to release The Fame Monster as its own CD just in case you already owned The Fame (other artists DON'T do this, they want you to have to re-buy everything, GaGa gets that all her fans have to work for their money) at $7.99. It's 8 tracks long and contains a little art photo booklet.
And I can't even begin to speak of all the amazing things Lauper is up to. Check out her official website CyndiLauper.com to see all the great stuff she's up to with Mac, True Colors, and more.

Taking a trend a little too far.. (2/6/10) [View | Hide]
I'm not sure if I admire this mans love for a good pair of glasses, or if I think he's a complete and total idiot.
Good thing RayBans are a classic.
If you're reading this on facebook head over to my actual blog, Undiscovered Celebrity to see videos and pictures.
Oh, don't even get me started on that! It deserved it over some of the other nominees, for sure. It's probably one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen.
Being friends with Sandy is a goal of mine. I just saw "A Single Man" today with my friend and it was amazing! I now want to meet Julianne Moore and Colin Firth.
Yeah I definitely agreed with Sandra Bullock and Mo'Nique too. Sandra Bullock seems like such a down to earth and sincere person. I was very happy for her.
That does sound nice. I watched some of the Oscar's, mainly the highlights. I'm so happy for Kathryn Bigelow. She definitely deserved it. What did you think of them?
Haha! What do you mean?! The weather's been the best it's been in a while! Although, I do agree about the night when it gets to be about 20 degrees cooler. My classes are going really well! I'm on spring break right now, so that's pretty relaxing. How about you? What are you up to?
