Firework.

For some reason, I find myself having so much to say today.  Probably because so much has happened in the past week, and I need someone to tell it to.  But let's see...I'll stick with a max of 3 posts today, yes?  I don't want to post one long one, for that way I'll be changing subject, and it'll be way to many pictures, if any, on one post.  Which is ridiculous.  Howard says I need to find a new word, since lately I've been saying "ridiculous" a lot.  More than a lot actually, it's getting on my own nerves.  So, FIREWORK.  But before that, it was DYNAMITE.  And third came GRENADE.  Now, I'm not gonna take the credit for this observance, credit goes to it's rightful owner whoever "TheMuSiCgIrL570" is.  I was watching Katy Perry's "Firework" video and was scrolling down the comments and this is what I see:

"First Dynamite then Firework and then Grenade. What's the next nuclear bomb??"

It cracked me up, and if you think about it, this chick is right.  I can honestly tell you I am not nostalgic for the days I used to listen to the radio.  I can't stand it!  Every single song coming out sounds exactly the same, repetitive, over-catchy, and the biggest thing, is there is absolutely NO HEART in it.  Melodies are the same, beck beats are the same, there is no originality anymore.  Same with some movies.  I was watching a movie last night, and realized the storyline was everything "Pride and Prejudice" and it got me thinking, what other movies are?  Think about it.  How many movies out there are based on plays of Shakespeare and Jane Austen stories?  Hell, even some of Austen's stories were based off of Shakespeare's plays!  And honestly, how many renditions of "Gift of the Magi" must be made?  The original movie is it's best, let's keep it old, yes?  Old and Golden.  Best way to keep things.

What truely bugs me is when top charted songs on the radio which are OVERPLAYED also make the A-list for top picked songs to be placed in movie soundtracks.  So along with a completely unoriginal plot, there is unoriginal music, making the movie a debacle.  And for those of you who don't know, debacle means a total collapse. Failure.

I've yet to find that one thing I know can fill my life with passion and meaning, that one thing I love to do, so my life isn't a debacle.  I'm praying I find it soon.  Praying, hoping, and dreaming.  My friends Christian and Levi told me that they can see me being very rich and prominent, possibly famous, or being a bum living under a bridge.  They can't see me being somewhere in-between.  And I want to be a prominent figure in the business world, or culinary world, or the medical world.  But where am I going?  I know that my parents wouldn't let me become a bum, but I don't want to be a leech and feed off them for the rest of my life.  I want to be independent and count on myself.  Really, I do.  I just need to find something that I love, that can also support my lifestyle.  Because I know that it would be very hard for me to give that up.  People say marry rich, but hey, I believe in love.  And who really wants to me mercenary?  I don't.  I want the fairytale.

Speaking of fairytales and movie soundtracks, go watch "Marry Me" with Lucy Liu.  It played on Lifetime and it was pretty cute.  And I like the music.  Nice and semi-original to compliment to cute storyline.  The whole thing isn't completely original, it was predictable and the acting wasn't the best, but a great movie nonetheless.

Time for one more post, and I'm gone.
