Music Mondays for days...

Sorry, once again-- it's been ages since my last post! 

What all has been going on in that hair of mine, you ask?  Well...

I've been tutoring Fourth graders, and it's been great!  They have so much imagination and spunk.  I remember the days of elementary school... running around the playground, playing four square, coloring for days, simon says, and popsicles.  Those were the days.  But I am definitely appreciating my last year as a teen.  It hit me the other day, that in January I shall be 20!!! Ummm that seems so old! My brothers are 26 and 27.  I am slowly catching up to them, wowza!  But being 20 will bring a lot of excitement as well, and I'm looking forward to it.  Anywho, why am I dwelling about my birthday?  

Speaking of birthdays, there shall be a super VIP birthday shin dig coming up, I'm looking forward to going and hanging out with some of my fave Cincy celeb-utants. :)

This week has been filled with hot weather, laziness, and some randomness, as always.  And taking photobooth photos in my free time. I have no life!  But I have to keep my pail skin outta the sun and in the AC. :)

I'm looking forward to working on the Homecoming Committee after meeting last week... we have some cool ideas, and the people seem great! Go Norse! As every Wednesday, we journeyed to dollar burger night!  This time, we had a lot of attendees!  It was a random array of people, but there was a fun time had by all.  We had our gays, our rappers, our couples, foreign friends, as well as some youngsters!  It was great seeing everyone, and catching up about our summer lives.  What else has happened?  hmmm... nothing too exciting, just meeting new people, reconnecting with old friends, and working on my internship!

Speaking of internship, my boss man, Kenneth was spotted on the new Fox 19 show, Queen City.  You should all check it out, if you're interested in Cincinnati and some of the fabulous people who live here.  Hopefully I'll make a small appearance, I tend to hang out with some of the celebs featured on the show!  The first episode aired last night, can't wait to see more... best of luck cast and crew!

And always, as promised: Music Monday!!! Here's 5 songs that I've been jamming to recently....

sometimes I think a tune like this is playing my head, for no reason.  And I'm alright with it!

and because I love the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack soo much...

as always, keep it classy Cincy

MUSIC MONDAY!!!

Ello puppet!!! Didn't do much today, but I did get to hit up "The Village" with my rents.  Momma Autumn browsed for hours with me, looking through old women tops, rompers, countless blazers, and enough polka dots to last a lifetime.  But in the end I got like 3 bags of stuff, and some pretty cute stuff!  Thank goodness for those half off colored tags!!! 

So in the spirit of Music Monday, it's time for some cool jams: Let's do this...

I was listening to this whole album yesterday... forgot how much I adore these guys!

Can't forget about these guys.  I am STILL obsessed with them... it's been like 2 years! yay!!!!

Perfect for my summer playlist!

Such a good beat!!! :)

and just to throw some country in the mix... was singing this with my momma earlier. You get it!

So, there's some cool tunes for the day!  Have a great Monday!

Bro's Burfday/Summer Sunday...

Well, it's been a while... seems to be the story of my life lately! ahha Well, some things have been happening recently; let's try and catch up?

Well, last Wednesday was my brother, Chad's birthday.  Although we bicker and pick on one another, we're pretty close.  He's 26 now, but we have a lot of mutual friends.  He's pretty cool, and we have similar morals... as far as drinking and smoking and such.  He's 26, and never drank. I completely respect him for that amongst other traits... but don't tell him I said that!  Here's a photo of the devil, himself: 

He loves cars and the simple things in life.  He's pretty awesome, and looks out for his friends and family.  Happy late Burfday bro! 

Excuse his rude shirt. hahah He's a dork. 

What else is new?  I have completed my first week as a tutor!  I am working with Elementary kids, and it's great!  They're Cardinals, just like I was :)  We get to sketch pictures, read poetry, work on long division and I even read a book to them.  Maybe teaching should be my profession?  It's always been in the back of my mind as an option... I've had a lot of experience in leadership roles, as well as years of tutoring under my belt.  Kids seem to like me, and I don't mind them either. hahha Maybe I'll think about education as a career.  We'll see how this whole PR thing works for me.  

Speaking of which, I got to do some real assisting on Friday.  I helped with a cool photoshoot/interview with LA's Dj Mia.  She was so chill and down to earth.  I was able to help come up with some interview questions, as well as get to chat with her a bit about music and such.  The photoshoot was awesome, I'd never been on set for one, and it was so cool to see all the behind the scenes stuff.  Look forward to her interview and story in a new magazine launching in the fall.  More details later...

Hmm today has been a lazy day, but I got some stuff done and caught up on some journaling.  I hadn't wrote in my journal since like May!  Hahah Classy. But it's so funny reading through old entries.  Things about petty drama from Senior year, and things I worried about before college.  It's cute to see my first impressions of people whom I am the best of friends with now.  That's the fun of having a place to write your thoughts; like this blog, or a diary/journal.  You can look back on things that you've gone through and see how much you've grown, or how things have changed... 

So, it's Summer Sunday... So, my friend, Ashley, and I have decided to get the gang back together and hit up the Drive In in Amelia!  It should be a fun time.  Summer night, stars bright, Harry Potter, and some great friends!  I'm looking forward to it.  But now it's that awkward moment where I invited all my coupled friends, and now I'm gonna be solo.  To take a gay boy, or not... that tis the question! hhah I asked a friend, but he's busy... bummer. No worries, it'll be a good time regardless. :)  Optimism is key.  

I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends, grabbing coffee, hanging out at the park, taking pictures, seeing movies, going to concerts, etc.  The summer isn't over yet!  We can't let these awesome things pass us by... Picnics, watching planes takeoff, going to lookout points, art museums, random coffee shops with local bands, starry skies, flying kites...  These are the simple things that I love the most.  Now to find someone to do them with.  Any takers? haha 

Welp, it's getting late, and I'm running out of things to say.  Ta Ta for now.

Some tunes for the road... my bro likes the vehicles in the video.  And we both can bond over Weezer's music.  So in honor of his burfday...

Therapy Thursday and Typically Tyler's Burfday...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR TYLER.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! :D

For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYGAB! :)

Last night, at Dollar Burger Night, the gang and I also celebrated the end of Tyler's teen years.  For today, Tyler is 20 years old... no longer shall he be a teen, and no longer shall he be compared to a child.  Although some think 20 is not a special year, I know great things lie ahead for Tyler and his career. 

I've known Tyler since I was a Sophomore in high school, and here I am entering my Sophomore year of college!  Oh, how the time flies!  Tyler is also an avid reader of my blog, and he has also started his own blog, check it out: http://typicallytyler.blogspot.com/

In the spirit of Thursday, it's time for some ranting and such... what to discuss?? Hmmm... let's see, oh, I know... Girls!  Jeesh, sometimes I just cannot believe the stuff girls put their boyfriends through (and vise versa).  There comes a point in a relationship, I see it all the time, where a girl becomes too overprotected (more so than usual) and they begin to not make since.  They text their boyfriend, and beg to spend every waking minute together.  Although I have no boyfriend, I always see these types of things happen to my friends.  The girl often becomes paranoid and wants to keep her fella to herself, and not let him hang out with their friends... so weird.  Girls, get real... if your guy likes/loves you, he will be faithful, and he'll have a life.  Sorry, but just because you're dating someone, that gives no excuse for you to control their life as well.  Let them be an individual, and enjoy life, and you should do the same.  And I wonder why a fella has not taken interest in me... I'm so wise ;) hahah I see these types of mistakes, and changes happen all the time in relationships, so obviously, I know what not to do for the future. 

So, now that I am done being Dr. Phil for the evening, let's share some music for today... in honor of Tyler, a song from Anything Goes, the first show that I worked alongside TyGab. :) 

Stay classy folks.

Wish Wednesday...

Here it tis, our first Wish Wednesday... and what do I wish for? Hmmmmmm

I wish for happiness. It seems simple, and not even worth mentioning, but it's important.  Pure, simple, happiness.  I want my friends to get along, no drama, just happy :)  I know I'm cliche and whatever, but it's my wish.  I want our Dollar Burger Night tonight to be grand, without any drama.  I want happiness from my family... I want us to get along, and have fun!  No fighting over dumb games or the computer.  I want happiness.  Is that too much to ask?  I want to have fun doing the simple things in life, as well as living on the edge from time to time. I want to be me, and have fun!  HAPPINESS. :D

So, there you have it... my wish.  It may change from time to time, but for today, happiness will do :)

Have a great day, and here's a song to deal with happiness...

Tips Tuesday/Jonas Day...

So, as promised... it's "Tips Tuesday".  What shall the tips be today? Hmmmmm....

Well, maybe we'll start with some simple ones...

Tips for Facebook...

• Ladies, I'm not sure why you feel as though you should post provocative pictures of yourself.  You're making yourself seem skanky and gross.  Keep your photos classy and funny.  Facebook is not some hookup site, it's for networking and keeping in contact with people you meet-- not telling the whole world that you're a skank.  No offense.
• Mirror pictures... while yes, we've all had them... try to keep them to a minimum.  They're very Myspace, and odd.  
• The sideways snarl... it's not that cute. We've all done it.  Now, let's stop it. Come one people, we can be more clever with our facial expressions.  
• Status updates... although it is amazing that you're getting so much done in a day... do we really need to know where you are all the time, and how many times you've gone to the store today?  You know what I'm talking about. :)  Be creative with your statuses, don't just always complain about your job and that crazy ex or yours. 
• Please, post cool pictures and music.  I love seeing what kind of music people listen to... it also introduces me to new songs and bands.  I also love looking at pictures, just to see what people look like now, and what kinda cool stuff they do. You know you love it too!

So, there are your tips for today.  I hope you enjoyed them... they'll get better as time goes on, promise!

Also, today is Jonas day "WeStayWithJonas" is trending on Twitter... today is 7/05... which is a classic Jonas Brothers song (7:05).  I remember the day I met them... so awesome.  Yea, I was like 16-- So?  I'm 19 now, and I can still jam out to "Mandy" or "Burning Up".  It's okay.... I love all types of music, and I'm not afraid to admit it. 

Gosh, they're still cute. :)

Happy Jonas Day!

MUSIC MONDAY/ Happy 'Merica Day!

HELLO Bloggers and fellow celebrators of Independence Day!!!

Today, we celebrate America's independence, and our freedom as citizens.  We often times take for granted the freedoms and rights that we have as Americans, but on today... we should definitely remember all of these things and soo much more.  Remember all the hardships our forefathers had to face, and the life that we are living today.  Today is not only about fireworks, hotdogs, short shorts, and drinking... it's about us.  It's about what America has gone through and the people who have served as well.  But while this blog is not very political, we shall share some music, fashion, and whatever seems fitting for today's 4th of July-ness!

Some Americana Clothing....
