Music List #3

Songs I cannot STAND:

1) Your Body us a Wonderland - John Mayor
* I cannot stand this song because first of all I do not like John Mayor. Second his voice in this song and the melody just throw me away from this song.

2) Dirty Pop - N'Sync
* I did not like it the minute I heard it. I am not exactly sure why. Either because it sounded different from their first album or I just did not hear it when all my other friends heard. And because of that I now hate it. Weird reasonings I know.

3) Papa Don't Preach - Kelly Osbourne
* The way Kelly sang this song, to me, sounds as if she is trying to be someone she is not. Kind of like copying someone else's work. So that right that was a thumbs down for me right away. I think this is the main reason why I really cannot stand this song, on top of the fact that I do not really like Kelly Osbourne's work. And even as I am typing this, I now have this song stuck in my head!

4) Invisible - Clay Aiken
* Even though I thought Clay was going to win American Idol, when his CD came out I did not like any of the songs, especially this one. I think part of it had to do with the fact that he was getting a whole lot more lime light than Ruben (the winner of American Idol) himself. Because this song became over played it died out quickly and came onto this list.

5) (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - Britney Spears
* I think the reason this song is on my cannot stand list is because she is redoing a song that I really like the orginal way. I also cannot stand this song because I think at this time, Britney Spears was trying to become someone she was not and this song tried to represent that. (From the album, "Oop's I Did It Again".

Music List #2

For me, when it comes to songs about sex or drugs, I do not listen to what the lyrics mean as much as I do the melody and how it makes me feel. Here are five songs that came to mind.
1) A Little Bit of Ecstacy - Josie
When I hear this song, it makes me think of the club Ruby Sky and when I have went there to dance. It also makes me feel a little sassy. The first time I heard this song was in the car on the readio with my dad.
2) Must be the Ganja - Eminem
I love the way Eminem sings this song. The melody, his tone of voice, the ryhtym. It all goes together so well, and for me its very catchy! The first time I heard this song was at a party recently.
3) I'm in Miami Bitch, The Bay Edition - LMFAO
Again, this song is very catchy. This first time I heard this song was in a club and it just made me want to dace!
4) Best I Ever Had - Drake
This song reminds me of my friend and I when we take a drive and whenever it comes on the radio or ipod we just start singing it.
5) Hotel Room - Pitbull

Study Tip #2

My next study tip would be to go to sleep early and get a good nights rest if there is an important thing going on in class the next day. For instance a test, or you are giving a speech. This you will be well rested and more prepared for class.

Googlin' Myself

When I googled myself I got this:
~ about ten different links to results on gymnastics meets and there scores
~ a couple youtube links
~ a link to some people following me on twitter
~ a link to white pages
~ a link to a news article about my father and I when I was very young
~ and some links to some polish websites (some were like a facebook or myspace)

I do not like the twitter links so much, just because I do not like twitter. When I found the news article, it made me smile and brought back very good childhood memories.

Music Memories #1

I remember listening to Roy Orbison since the age of three. My mom always played "Pretty Woman" in the car. I also remember listening to Elvis Presley, and the oldies station. When I began school, I remeber the ear of Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera, N'sync, and the Spice Girls. If you did not have their CD's or cassettes you were not "cool". I even had their stickers! As time moved on the "now" CD's came along, which had all the hit singles from the radio and MTV. I began listening to the radio more, like 101.3 and eventually was is now today Energy 92.7. My parents would not let me listen to radio stations like wild 94.9, so thats when I got my first Ipod. Then I began to put music on there that I liked. Soon after that, I did not need the radio as much since I had my Ipod. And this is where I am today. I find new music through Itunes, dance clubs, friends, and even the radio when I am in the car.

Study Tip #1

I like to read and write down the most important aspects that I read. This way I can really remember what I have read. It is also a short cut to refernce anything I may have forgotten.
