Sun Is Shining!

Hi everyone! Summer is around the corner in case you didn't know. But the real reason for this post is to share this song that's been stuck in my head for about 3 months now. I don't really think this song is "blowin' up," and I didn't really know what to classify it as.

But I will say this: I like the sun. A little dose of vitamin D never hurt!

American Hero: Bootz

Here's someone that's been off my TV for far too long: BOOTZ! She's known for three main things: fighting, stealing family heirlooms, and being celibate. On Flavor of Love 2 she gained Flav's love because she would get into an argument with anything that had a pulse. Then, she we eliminated because she claimed she was celibate.

On Charm School, she stole one girl's picture of her dead mother and hid it to frame another girl. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, but Bootz is at the top of the food chain. Ultimately, she got eliminated from the show but she lasted weeks longer than she should have.

Unfortunately, she hasn't been on TV in a few year because she had a child out of wedlock. OOPS! So much for being celibate. But if she does get back on TV, I sure as hell will be watching.

Blowin' Up: Be The One

Anyone that knows Lloyd knows he's known for his smooth, R&B sound. In other words, his sound is generic and unmarketable. However, I like what he did with this song. It's a little more uptempo, and features Trey Songz and Young Jeezy. Trey's part is good, and Jeezy's part is the worst part of the track...as usual. I can see this song getting big!

Save the Couches!

What is disappearing faster than glaciers? When there are budget cuts, they get clipped faster than special ed. teachers? If you guessed couches, you're right! It's come to my attention that less and less woman's rooms have couches! Now, I'm a man. Therefore, I don't have a menstrual cycle. But I can imagine the horrors of going through a day with stomach cramps, and then when I go to the bathroom there is not a couch for me to sit on.

The other day I was at the local Oliver Garden, and from what I heard they did not have a couch in the woman's restroom. For shame Olive Garden! FOR SHAME! Couches are one of the modern luxuries that every woman deserves in their life. Getting rid of them is just wrong!

If you agree, please pass the message along!

Blowin' Up: Kerli

I may be going out on a limb here, but here's a new artist that may be impacting the US soon. Her name is Kerli, and she's here with her new, unique "bubblegoth" music. She actually isn't all that new, in fact she's been around since before Lady Gaga. If she gets big here, I know that she'll be compared to Gaga a LOT.

This song really does sound kind of funny, but it's catchy as all fuck. I'm a fan!

Hangover? Hang up.

So I saw the Hangover 2 today, and honestly, I thought it sucked. Like most movies, the best parts were in the commercials. The plot of this movies was essentially the same as the first. Most of the jokes came off as gross and appear to be aiming for that shock-factor. I have a pretty good stomach, and nothing in the movie really grossed me out, but there were parts that were unpleasant to watch. I say, go for Bridesmaids over this, but really, anyone that paid to see the first will pay to see this one. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Classic: Are You That Somebody?

This week, Aaliyah got a little press coverage (which I commented on) and I heard her playing on the radio. Here's one of my favorite songs by her, and to think, I just got into it this year. People who are into Young Money might recognize the line "I've got to watch my back cuz I'm not just anybody" from Drake's verse in Bedrock. So here you go... Bonne Appitite!

Blowin' Up: Man Down

I was listening to the radio yesterday, and I was surprised to hear this song come on. Firstly, I thought California King Bed was Rihanna's new single. Secondly, out of all of the songs from Loud this is the last on that I thought would get any radio play. Not that I don't like it, but it just doesn't seem like an obvious choice like Cheers would have been. I suppose Rihanna is going to another half-reggae hit like Rude Boy was. Whether or not this adds to her #1 streak, I'm sure it will be all over the radio this summer.

American Hero: Amanda Bynes

A couple month ago, I hated her. Amanda Bynes has been on television for close to two decades now, and she's had her ups and downs. At the end of the summer of 2010, she announced that she was done acting forever. Then, about two weeks later, she announced that she would act again. How fickle! I was annoyed by her indecisiveness at first, thinking she only made this claim to get press coverage. Now I realize that she was doing something greater, demonstrating a woman's right to chose. How beautiful! For this Amanda, I dub you an American Hero!

Watch to Watch: Rivals

Anyone the knows me knows that this is one of my favorite shows. For some reason, I have been watching these challenges since for a decade now, so I feel some type of loyalty to them. I'm looking forward to this one because it's different from the other ones, and there looks like there is a decent amount of fighting. But please MTV, bring back Coral!
