Disney Misconceptions!

Lately I have noticed a lot of people get their Disney facts wrong and because I would consider myself a big Disney fan I thought I would make a post about it so these sad souls can learn.

1. Someone on my Facebook recently posted this;
"Anastasia is my fave. Disney princess!" What? NO. Anastasia is not Disney unless we are talking about Cinderella's evil step sister but even then Anastasia is not a princess! Anastasia is a Grand Duchess from a 20th CENTURY FOX MOVIE. You want to know why you never see her in any of the Disney parks? Maybe because she's not Disney!!! You want to know what else isn't Disney?


Warner Brothers!


Universal Studios! (the first one anyways. I'm not sure what company produced the 100 other sequels but I'm almost positive it wasn't Disney.)


New Line Cinema!

Warner Brothers. Great film by the way and hopefully I can watch and review this soon. And all of the people drowned!!! 


Another one from 20th Century Fox!


Warner Brothers/ Don Bluth Entertainment. Don Bluth made a ton of movies that are not Disney.


Warner Brothers!


Warner Brothers!


DreamWorks Pictures! 


Dreamworks!


Dreamworks! It even says so on the poster, how can you get this wrong?!?!?


Lionsgate! But as of now the franchise for the movies has been taken over by Universal Studios which in my opinion was a stupid idea. I loved Barbie as much as the next girl but I swear if you thought that these movies were by Disney I have every right to punch you in the face.

Get your childhood right kids!


2. Speaking of non-Disney princesses I am not understanding why some of the Disney heroins are considered to be princesses. In the store you will see a box of dolls that say "Disney Princesses" on them, yet Pocahontas is included. She never married a prince nor did she ever MEET a prince. She was a daughter to a chief. That is it. How is she a princess?

You want to know who else isn't a princess? Mulan. Mulan didn't marry royalty, she married Shang who is a military general! Although if she was a princess she would easily be the most badass one there is.

Giselle from Enchanted is also not a princess. She may look and act like one but she didn't marry the prince thus making her a non-princess.

You want to know what I think? If someone wants to make a set up of Disney princesses I think they should do it right and not add characters just because they are popular. There should be a princess set and a heroine set. Not just a set that includes some princesses and some heroines. That is not right. If you want to add another princess add Eilonwy from The Black Cauldron. She may not be popular (I doubt 90% of you have even heard of her) but she has earned her title. Oh and since Star Wars has been taken over by Disney now, Leia needs a place as well. 

3. "You can meet every character is at Disney World!"- Oh yeah, what about Kida? I've never seen her at Disney World! Granted I live nowhere near Florida but if anyone has ever met her I'd like to know!




Or Pacha and Yzma from The Emperors New Groove. I've never seen them there either.


I know a lot of the rare characters are usually at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party in October but never the less that does not mean that they are regularly seen characters that you can find whenever you go to Disney.

Pain and Panic from Hercules

The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland


Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty

Jane Porter from Tarzan. Let me tell you I am not happy that she's not a regular. She has always been my favorite Disney character!

So no, you cannot meet "all the Disney characters" you can only meet 97% of them unless it is during October.


4. "The Jungle Book is the only old Disney film that had NO SONGS in it!" Oh really? 

I do think that these are songs!

5. "Jack Sparrow isn't Disney!!!"

Neither is Anastasia but that doesn't seem to stop some of you from thinking she is a princess! FYI Sparrow is Disney. See the top of the poster below!


In conclusion I just wanted to get all of this out there. The next time someone says any of the following lies and seems like they know what they are talking about, direct them to this blog to show them how WRONG they are. I swear if I have to tell one more person that Don Bluth is a person who also did animation, I am not going to be too pleased!

Telephone

You want to know what I am getting really tired of? People wanting to speak to me on the telephone about random things. Or random people talking to me on the telephone about important things. Either way, annoying telephone calls have been very annoying lately and it has taken me all that I have not to disconnect the telephone chord in our house.

Last night my mom's best friend called and her stupid grandchild wanted to talk to me on the phone which consisted of him screaming in my ear about the new spinney toy he got and then having air tone for 5 minutes. I'm almost positive I could have been doing something more productive than that. I don't like kids and this one just irritates me to no end. I don't want to speak to your best friends grandchild dearest mother. When I handed the phone back to her she started talking to her friend about how cute both me and the child were when we were "talking." NO. It was NOT cute, it was annoying and I swear if she ever makes me talk to that child on the phone again I am going to tear her arm off in a most violent fashion!
_________________________________________________________________________________
Then today my asinine doctors office called about my labs. Let's see here, from what I can recall I went in to get them done on Friday but you're stupid office didn't fax them over. I know this because I got to speak to a new worker there and dumb and dumber seemed to have forgotten that their fax machine was broken so the labs didn't get sent and I had to wait 45 freaking minutes until they even got me back in the registration room only to find out that the laboratory where I always get my blood drawn did not receive them meaning they couldn't poke a needle into my arm.
Dumb was the person I spoke to on the phone today and the conversation went something like this;
Me: Hello.
Dumb: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (I really couldn't tell you what was so funny. Let me tell you it is really quite disturbing to pick up a phone and then have someone laughing in your ear.) HIIIIII. We have your labs.
Me: O-k.
Dumb: Do you have a good answer or a bad answer for us? (I don't even know what that's supposed to mean! I'm getting my blood drawn for my A1C and it's never been over 7.6!)
Me: ...I don't know?
My mom in the background: TELL HER WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOUR LABS!!!!!! (crazy dumb girl is laughing her @ss off in the background for some reason)
Me: Well I couldn't get my lab work done because you guys failed to send the papers over requesting it.
Her: When did you GOOOOOO?
Me: Last Friday.
Her: AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. You're appointment is on THURSDAY.
Me: Yeah I was planning on going in Tuesday to get the done if the paperwork is there.
Her: It was YOUR labs fault, NOT OURS!
Me: No it wasn't their fault. You failed to send the papers over because your fax machine was broken.
Her: I didn't know that! (How can you not know that? I know that and I don't even work there!) What lab do you go to?
Me: >Labs name<
Her: We always have PROBLEMS with that lab. I'll send your papers somewhere else.
At this point I'm literally just going WTF, you are planning to send my lab slips somewhere else and not going to inform me of the location or even ask if that's what I want? Go to hell.
Me: No you can just send them over to >Lab's name< because I don't live anywhere closer to get my lab work done. I'll see you on Thursday.
Her: AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA OKAY  BYEEE.

How is she not fired yet? And my mom kept screaming at me afterwards for being so rude. I don't see how I was rude in any way, shape, or form except in my mind.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Then my aunt decides it would be fun to call my house right after that.

Aunt: Hi
Me: Hey how are you doing?
Aunt: Do you own the Twilight movies?
Me: No. No I do not.
Aunt: That sucks cuz I was planning to go out with my girlfriends tonight and see the last movie but I haven't seen the one where Bella get's pregnant yet!
--I don't care. Truly, I don't. Why do people automatically think that just because I'm a girl that I recognize Twilight as a thing? I really cannot stand the franchise and wish it would go away forever. 
Me: I know the last one is out dvd now. Maybe you can rent it.
Aunt: No I'll probably buy it because I can't get enough of the series. I'm obsessed with it!
--My aunt in 48 years old. This can not be healthy.
Aunt: What team are you on? Edward or Jacob?
Me: Team guy who almost hit Bella with a car.
Aunt: YOU DON'T LIKE BELLA?
Me: I really dislike Twilight in general...
Aunt: No wonder you don't have friends. Girls your age should be into Twilight.
--Should they? I never knew it was a truth universally acknowledged. But never the less I would rather be hit by a bus than read or watch any of those books or movies ever again.
Aunt: You should go see the last movie, you'll change your mind.
Me: I doubt it.
Aunt: I'M GOING TO SCREAM THROUGH THE PHONE ABOUT HOW YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE AN OPINION UNLESS IT IS THE SAME AS MINE!
Me: I have to go *hangs up phone*

Why? Can anyone out there answer that for me? Just why?

The Third Dimension Of Hell

Lately I have been wondering if I am in it. Here are just a few things that have been going on with my so called life lately;

Theatre 

-My college theatre program just teamed up with the theatre that didn't want me in Sweeney Todd for next seasons show. I can't really think of anything worse that could have happened besides getting CUT from play after play after musical. Sure, the director from the college may be on my side but the guy he's teaming up with is the one who picked the show and will more than likely be the one to pick the cast which will consist of only one, maybe two, students who even go to my college. People seem to be thrilled to know that these two theatres are teaming up together, but me, I'm hating it entirely. Stupid idea.

^Teaming up with this theatre company shall hopefully lead to something like this...By the way this picture will never NOT be funny. 

Now that that's settled...

- A younger guy at my college who was in a musical with me a long time ago and always failed to show up on time or even show up at all (let's call him *Diva Dave*) decided that he was so talented that he would be holding auditions for a play at college despite the fact that he's in the musical this fall. Diva Dave hates it when everything is not about him. So he started bragging on his facebook earlier in the month about how he can't wait to cast only TRULY TALENTED people when a ignorant little lady on his page says " Since I already have THIS ONLY FEMALE LEAD part and I better have a sexy HUSBAND, just sayin." And Diva Dave freaking LIKED IT. When this happened I had high hopes of finding the interview I read where Hugh Jackman said that he believes in face to face auditions and that people shouldn't just be handed the role without auditioning because that's unfair BS. Sadly I never found the interview, but just know that it is out there. Stupid non-auditioners being handed parts.

- Diva Dave actually posted the cast list today, I did not audition because I don't think that I have fallen that desperately far yet and I would have probably been replaced once  Director Diva Dave wanted to critique me because I would have slammed a fist down his throat. But anyways, the cast list consisted of all of his friends getting the great roles while people who are not very close to him got the littler roles. Yeah, that's fair. Thankfully this is a lesser known show or else I would have thrown a bitch fit. Diva Dave's a freaking idiot. Stupid Diva Dave.


-One guy who got cast in the real college production (the one I got cut from) keeps updating his facebook 24/7 by saying things such as;
 "Sitting here with nothing to do. Txt me!" 
And then
"God Im soooo bored I cant believe they have to go through another guys part AGAIN. Bout ready to leave."
DUDE WTF you are at rehearsal right now! I know this because I received the paper of rehearsal times before I got cut! Get your butt on stage and help or be productive backstage. You need no texts, you need to pay attention. You're wasting everyone's time. Unless you are crazy good like Norm Lewis you need to rehearse during rehearsal time just like everyone else! Stupid not Norm Lewis diva guy.



Class/Job

- I had to drop out of accounting. I feel like such a failure but it was for the best. I wasn't understanding the first two chapters, I failed my two online quizzes, the teacher wasn't helping me, and when I went to the tutoring center at the school they said that the only way to get help with the subject was to ask my teacher, who as I mentioned, sucked at helping and couldn't put forth the time and effort to help his struggling student.  I got my money back but that doesn't make it any worse that I won't be graduating this fall. I'm planning on taking French in the summer if it is offered and am truly looking forward to learning a bit of the language. Stupid accounting.

- Because I dropped out of accounting that means that I have to get a JOB. And my mom will not hear of me working anywhere else but the daycare center across the street despite the fact that she knows I cannot stand children. But I guess I'm going to be forced to pretend to enjoy them and dislike them even more once I get the job. Stupid children.

Family/Friends

- My dads girlfriends daughter has had a boyfriend for 6 months. Not only does that make me feel really horrible about myself (the daughter is a fruitcake and a half) but as of today I have learned that they will be married by this time next year. Obviously it is none of my business and I should stay out of her "personal life" because it's her own fault if she wishes to mess it up. But when someone says that he is from Whitby Bay, Texas that can only mean a few things;
1. He's a LIAR
2. He meant to say Horseshoe Bay, but it came out wrong, and even then it would be evident that he has be lying because he does not have a southern accent. North Yorkshire, that's where Whitby is located, not in Texas. Whitby is also a place in Canada, once again, not in Texas.
3. He has read too much Dracula which is an all around better book than Twilight, but modeling yourself after one of the most well known vampires is probably not the best idea.

I tried explaining this to the daughter and she just starts laughing and says that I have no idea what I'm talking about. Alright. May God have mercy on your soul. It is none of my business, her marriage will not effect me, and because she cut my hair when I was a sophomore while I was sleeping I have no regrets. But in all seriousness, best of luck to both of them. Stupid towns that don't exist.


- Because of this my dad and his stupid girlfriend keep asking me when I'm getting married. Um I don't know. "Why don't you have a boyfriend?" I don't have an answer for that either. "You need to start thinking about the future and who you would like to "settle down with." Don't tell me what to do. THE NEXT person who asks me when I'm getting married or why I don't have a boyfriend will get punched in the face. Seriously. Like I have any control over any of this. "When are you getting married" is a stupid question and I swear if they keep interrogating me about my non-existent love life I am going to answer this question by saying "Next month." Really. Let me just buy a wedding dress and walk down the aisle just to please you. Next person who asks these kinds of questions to me will not only have a black eye but if someone ever DOES ask me to marry them, you will not be getting an invitation. I am content with who I am, why should you care? Yeah, I have never had a boyfriend, it has nothing to do with how I look, I'm not a street walker or drug dealer, and I am fine with my personality. I will be 22 in April, so what. WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH? Stupid interrogations of stupidness.

^I found this picture on Google and it said that this lady was left at the altar. That would be my worst nightmare. However I enjoyed the brides look here because not only does she looked annoyed, but she looks like she is about to shed these peoples blood.

-Just learned that the "best friend" that I haven't spoken to since last July is becoming quite the alcoholic. I wish there was something I could do to help, but you can't help anybody who doesn't want to help themselves. Her sorority sisters can help her, after all I don't exist anymore to her because I'm not in the sorority, but that doesn't mean I'm not concerned. I guess I will never understand the appeal of drinking or bragging about having 18 shots of tequila. Stupid people and their drinking problems.

-My mom has been screaming at me for merely existing but that's nothing new and as always, is stupid. 

-My uncle who lives in Virginia is not doing too well. He is being treated for throat cancer and there is a 80% chance that he won't make it. He is the coolest and nicest uncle ever and is a dead ringer (bad wording) for my deceased grandfather. I am hoping for the best but because I'm living in the third dimension of hell right now, I won't count on it. He has lived a great and long life, living until you are 80, making it through the Vietnam War is something to be proud of. I'm afraid of the worst though and can only hope he makes it through the hospital visit. Stupid throat cancer. 


Other Little Things of Randomness That Need To Be Spoken Of!

- My cat keeps waking me up in the middle of the night to go play with her which is causing me to be even more sleep deprived than usual. Stupid cat's messed up sleeping patterns.
-Why in the world are there only 20 songs on the Les Mis movie soundtrack? I am a person who does not buy musical soundtracks unless all the songs are on there. They better come out with the full recording soon so I don't have to resort to singing the songs to everyone around me and probably drive them crazy! However I do say I make a fine Innkeeper. Stupid Highlight Album.

I think that I do have a right to burst into tears, but I won't today. Worse things are happening out there.

I'm Not Gonna Write You A Love Song

But I will share some of my favorites with you because it's saddy sad lovey lovey love Valentine's and because I have a strange like of really sappy, tear jerking, heart wrenching songs. My list will be made up of my favorite movie love songs because I find that many songs that are made for movies tend to have more depth and put more heart into them than say, anything that has ever been sung by Justin Bieber.

1. Anywhere the Heart Goes- Monica Mancini

I have no idea how someone could have ever written such a beautiful song. The song was originally a score for the television miniseries The Thorn Birds and really does fit the premise of the miniseries quite well. However after hearing the song only a little while after watching the series I completely fell in love with it. There are so few lyrics but they are so powerful in what they say.

Love can hurt when you go
Anywhere the heart goes
Don’t you know it isn’t easy
Being me

2. Elephant Love Medley- Moulin Rouge

I absolutely adored the music to this film. However this was a song or rather a 'medley'  that really stood out to me. I liked the movie, although I wouldn't say I am a huge fan, but this song speaks volumes about the plot. Plus Obi-Wan Kenobi is SINGING, nothing can be better than that.
*Every single  lyric in this song is my favorite. 

3. Kiss From A Rose- Seal

Yeah yeah yeah, this song could possibly be about heroin but you can't say that this song is any less beautiful because of that. Although Seal has came out with about a million other awesome songs, this one will always remain my favorite. However, Batman Forever is not necessarily my favorite film with the caped hero.
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the gray.

4. Against All Odds- Phil Collins

I'm sure that everyone on planet earth knows this song. HOWEVER some of you may not know that the songs was recorded for a 1984 movie of the same name.

So take a look at me now, 
'cos there's just an empty space 
And there's nothing left here to remind me, 
just the memory of your face 
Take a look at me now, 
'cos there's just an empty space 
And you coming back to me 
Is against all odds and that's what I've got to face 


5. Can You Fell The Love Tonight- Elton John

From The Lion King!  Elton John wrote a ton of great music for this movie, but considering this is the only "love" song in the entire film, it's going on the list.
There's a time for everyone if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours

6. I Have Nothing- Whitney Houston

RIP Whitney. Yes, I Will Always Love You is probably the most famous and favorite song from The Bodyguard, but I like this one a lot better. I'm not sure if it's the lyrics or rhythm but I think it just beats I Will Always Love You.
Don't make me close one more doorI don't wanna hurt anymoreStay in my arms if you dareOr must I imagine you there



7. I Won't Say I'm In Love- Susan Egan

Meg was a great character. Plus this song is sassy. But it’s also sweet and lovely and the Muses are background singers in it, and who doesn’t love them? 
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out

8. Tonight- West Side Story

This is probably the only one on my list that sounds a little stalkerish but I like it just the same.  Plus it is one of those songs that always seem to get stuck in my head at the most random moments.
Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild and bright
Going mad
Shooting sparks into space


9. All I Ask of You- The Phantom of the Opera

It is a fabulous, heart-wrenching song. But to make this musical 100 times better I think Raoul should have been the one getting the punjab lasso around his neck during the performance instead of Joseph Buquet.

You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you!


10. On My Own

This will always be my favorite 'love' song, if you can even call it that.

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known

Happy Valentine's Day!

Or not! 

I'm not sure how many of you here have read my past post about how on every Valentine's Day something horrible always happens to me and I can never avoid it. Past examples include; falling on ice, being sent a flower that was supposed to go to someone else and then getting screamed at by the senders girlfriend, getting a door slammed into my face, having a car run over my foot, and a few other less horrible things.

THIS YEAR I thought I would be safe because I'm just staying home today, but no such luck! I got toothpaste in my eye this morning, I fell down my stairs, hit my head on the railing,  and my hand got stuck to the freezing mailbox and I lost a little skin trying to release myself from the evil frozen thing! I doubt that I will be shaving my legs today because that will only end in disaster! 

Maybe this is why I can't get a date. But I'm really not such bad luck all year round, just on this day for God knows whatever reason. Because I'm single AGAIN this Valentine's Day and will probably never get a significant other I have decided that tomorrow will be candy day. I am buying candy and then will pretend to be happy that I will end up being a lonely old woman who owns 80 cats. But at least I will have candy and I won't have to share it with anyone.

By the way, to the girl on my Facebook who keeps telling everyone Happy Valentine's Day and decided to exclude me from the celebration, thanks for making me feel like Patrick here;


Oh and the favorite thing I have read today;

If I had enough money I would buy every girl a flower for Valentines because every girl deserves to be happy on this special day

LIES! This is a trick, don't fall for it. It may seem like a wonderful thing to say but no, it is not.  I actually found it kind of creepy. If a guy was to just start handing out random flowers to every girl they saw I would be suspicious of their mental state of mind. 

And before I forget, I found this Valentine's tag on someone else's blog and because I like tags I have decided to participate!

 1. White chocolate or milk/dark chocolate? All of the above. 

2. Tea or Coffee?  Tea. Although I have come to like these little sugar free coffee things from Maxwell House. They don't really taste like coffee so maybe that's why I like them.

3. Movie or book on a night-in? Depends. I really do like both but at the moment I'm going to say books. 

4. Rom-com or a tear-jerker? Horror Films. That IS a choice in my mind...

5. Who is the first literary couple to come to your mind? Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester. 

6. Who is the first *movie* couple that comes to your mind? Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. I find them to be the most classic couple in the world. 

7. Roses or chocolate? Roses!! I have never received a rose in my entire life by anyone other than my father and step father. I would like to though, I really would.  Sunset roses are beautiful but I'm not picky. I know certain flowers are supposed to mean certain things but a flower is a flower in my world.

8. Fancy dinner in a 4-star restaurant or a simple picnic? I've never been on a picnic so that would be really nice.

9. Dream wedding scenario: outdoor family affair, or a formal church wedding & reception at a 5-star hotel? I am probably the only female on earth who hasn't thought about her "dream wedding" so I sadly cannot answer this. 

10. What was the last love song you listened to? To Love You More by Celine Dion. It is a wonderful song. 

11. Favorite real-life/celebrity couple? Ummmmmmm...  Got it! Prince William and Kate Middleton. I also think Michael Emerson and Carrie Preston's relationship is adorable along with Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness.

12. One piece of advice about love: You can't hurry love. No, you'll just have to wait. She said love don't come easy. It's a game of give and take. Thank you Diana Ross and The Supremes. 

Review Of A Website That Hates Reviews!

Has anyone ever used the website Reviewstream.com? If you haven't I would stay far FAR away from it.

 The website claims to be a service that will buy reviews of anything you can think of: music,movies, books, television shows, cosmetics, food, places, etc.etc.etc. Anything you can think of and they will buy it!
I thought that this website would be a good way to earn a little bit of money before I can find a real job but so far I have only received 38 cents, after submitting 15 or so reviews. Only one was accepted, the others rejected (that kind of sounds like a rap song...) I don't think my writing has ever been rejected so much in my entire life.

They apparently want your "personal opinion" on things but if you give that along with trying to describe the product they will reject you and you will earn NOTHING.  I felt that a lot of the reviews I wrote were really honest and based on my personal opinion and a lot better than half of the ones I have read on there. It is not like I wrote;
"Buy this product. It warms my heart because it's good and coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllll."
But maybe I should start writing like that because then I might make some money! But nope, they don't want my writing for God knows whatever reason. And I am never going to see my 38 cents considering you have to earn $50 which means you need 125 "bulk rate" reviews before you can get paid. I can be a really stubborn person but I'm not going back to that website just to wait 5 more years to get paid $50.

From my experience I learned that if you write like yourself and mention a movie stars name you are apparently plagiarizing other peoples work. I don't think I will ever be able to comprehend the stupidity of that. And because I was plagiarized someone (?) I am now not a trustworthy member in their eyes. Okay. That's fine by me. It's one thing to not pay someone but to call me untrustworthy because I'm reviewing a movie and using an actors name to get my point across, that is unacceptable to me.

One of my friends who I know online that has also used the website in the past claimed that if you emailed the people who run the website they will be completely rude to you and you won't receive an answer to any of your questions, only a snappy remark. Her example was that they found her review to be invaluable. She questioned why. The response she got;
“As you’re informed, we think that your review is not valuable and we don’t want to buy it. You can try to make it valuable and submit review again or try to sell it somewhere else. We don’t see any reason to share our information with you.”

 I haven't tried emailing them but why bother when it is clear that they don't find anything I write acceptable? If anything they would just delete my email like it doesn't exist or I would get something back like the following. ^  Plus I don't really find it necessary to share my words with them. If they want New York Times quality writing, they should pay their writers enough to make it worth while because this is absolutely ridiculous. If you are a writer this website just belittles you and your and I wouldn't waste your time with it. Everyone out there has the potential to be a good writer, don't let this website tell you otherwise.

By the way, I am curious if I would be allowed to review their website. Seems like a good idea but I doubt it would be "accepted."

Superbowl Sunday

Happy Superbowl Sunday everyone!

Personally football has never been my thing but for once I know who the teams playing are ahead of kickoff time so I applaud myself for that. I still have no idea who I should root for so once again this year I shall be rooting for the team with the prettiest uniform. This is how I always solve difficult sportsmanlike decisions. If the team is wearing a neat uniform I am hoping they win. Why do I do it this way? Two reasons;
1. I know absolutely nothing about football except what TACKLING and THROWING are and what the score board says.
2. Michigan apparently will never stand a chance of going to the Superbowl and because I live in this state that just makes me feel really pathetic. Speaking of Michigan, the 26th was Michigan's 176th birthday. Happy late birthday Michigan!


But back to Superbowl related business, I hope you all will be having a good time no matter what you are doing or where you are at. Sure, not everyone is into the Superbowl and even if you are one of those people I still hope you are still going to be having a good night. I'll probably switch over to Downton Abbey around 9:00 because I need to know what happened after last weeks episode of immense sadness and again, because football confuses me greatly and the playbacks get on my nerves after awhile.

Beyonce is supposed to be doing the halftime show and rumor has it that Destiny's Child will be reuniting on the stage tonight as well. I'm hoping the rumor is true because I have always liked Destiny's Child but was not a ginormous fan of the three girls solo projects. I'm anticipating a great show but from the previous halftime show's I've seen No Doubt and Madonna have been by far the best. Oh and Phil Collins/Christina Aguilera although I never saw them perform it live during the Superbowl I saw this on youtube and it was pretty amazing, but Phil Collins can do no wrong in my eyes and I love Aguilera's voice so my opinion on that one could be a bit biased.

Paul Mccartney's halftime performance was also pretty spectacular but he has done better shows since then. Please watch his Queen's Jubilee performance if you don't believe me. That is the best thing that I have ever seen in my life.

That's all I have to say about the halftime shows.
By the way do you want to know what is a really horrible idea? Going shopping today. I would consider myself to be a fairly intelligent person and I went shopping! 12 people pushed their carts into me without saying sorry, the guy in line ahead of me couldn't use his credit card because he was going through an "identity crisis" which were his exact words and he made them sound incredibly unbelievable like HE was the one who stole someone else's identity. And I am almost positive the guy who rang up my items was on a very large dose of caffeine...or speed. All I wanted to do was buy a pineapple. PINEAPPLE. That is it. I did not ask for crazy amounts of people, but it is totally my own fault for not considering what day it was. I got through it though, not something I will ever do again but it was an experience. By the way is it normal for people to give out free samples on Superbowl Sunday? For some reason I am thinking that may have been another reason so many people were in the store.

Alicia Keys is going to be singing the national anthem in about 5 minutes. Best of luck to her and to the two football teams and to the guys who pay excessive amounts of money to have their commercial played during break time.
