Dirty Pop

So I'm sure most of my fellow classmates are somewhere around the 90's rage of babies.. with the exception of a few.. but anywho. When I was younger, I was literally OBSESSED with Nsync, like it wasn't just a matter of me liking them.. I mean I had Nsync bed spred.. Nsync lunch pale, backpack, all of my note books had Jusin Timberlake's face alllll over it. I mean, thats not a bad thing, but that's besides the point. As the years flew by and I became older, I got out of that stage, and it has led me to my thoughts today.

What kind of music will my children be obsessed with when they are about six or seven?

hopefully it's not justin bieber.. someone please tell that child that he just can't sing. As weird as this is, I hope my children are in love with classical music, or at least an artist like Allen Stone, who sing about things going on in the world, and not just "baby.. baby.. baby.. oooo" or "leeme see dat booty work". What has music come to today? Are people even listening to half of the lyrics of rap songs? Im not saying I dont like rap, but every now and then when I'm bored I'll actually listen to these songs they play on the radio. It's all about someone getting laid, or some dude talking about some girls ass. What happened to Nsync music? "it's tearing up my heart when I'm with you, and when we are a part I feel it too. and no matter what I do, I feel the paiiiiinnn. With or without you!" nothing in that songs disrespects a woman, or even hints to the fact that "hey! I totally just want to bang you!" Maybe it's just me, and MAYBE I pay just a little bit to much attention to lyrics of songs these days. but here you go blog.. here are my feelings.

thanks for listening.

Sources

One of my sources is from the internet, well... actually most of them our, and it seems like a really great source.. but with Hazing as my topic a lot of these sites I'm finding are more opinion based and less factual, so.. It's just really annoying.. Like i've kind of yet to find a source on Hazing and hazing prevention that actually gives me good info, or facts and not just what someone thinks about hazing. If I wanted an opinion about hazing.. trust me, I've got a few. thats not what I need. I'm REALLY behind in this paper.. and maybe that's due to the fact that the majority of my sources are only internet sources. but like.. who has the time to read a book these days? not this girl. HELP.

He ain't Heavy He My Brother

I'm not sure if anyone else in our class is a part of the Greek community here at MTSU, but if you are... You were forced to watch this awful video this last Thursday.

Okay, first off, this was a video about Hazing, since PIKE at UT just had to make one of their pledges butt chug a beer and it almost killed him.. We all have to go through these 'anti hazing' events to reassure our new babies that we won't make them do thing like this.

The movie starts out pretty hilarious, I actually was laughing pretty hard because of the funny things they were making the guys do. . But very quickly it gets disturbing.. They start to beat the pledges with wooden paddles, until they can't take it anymore, and every time they are struck they must yell out "he ain't heavy, he my brother". Now how this makes you a closer brotherhood-- I'm kind of confused.

My sisters would never make me do anything that would make me feel so small and insignificant, they always loft me up and make me feel like I'm one of a kind. This movie was so extreme, but the sad part about all of this, is that this actually does happen, especially I the African American fraternities.

At the end of the movie, one of the main characters were being forced to run for hours and hours, and finally his heart gives out and he has a heart attack and dies.. And where was his brothers? Running away from him without even calling 911 until after he was dead.

Sarcastic little Dana

After reading Dana Stevens article where she basically is just bashing Johnson's article about how TV makes you smarter, by saying that TV doesn't make you smarter. She just flat out disagrees with him by pointing out his main points, and then gives specific examples as to watching tv really isn't helpful. She also touches on commercials and if you think about it, most people now a days don't really even watch commercials because we have learned to tune them out, or fast forward through them. I feel like when she talks about Johnson's graph or chart that he uses is "hilarious",she may not just understand where he came up with that graph and how it shows the difference between the complication of modern day TV and what they watched back in the days. I never really realized how important TV was to a lot of people, and honestly I had never heard of this "tv turn off week" so maybe TV is important to me, and I just never knew it!

Gangnam style

So I'm sure everyone has seen this new video that is surfacing around on YouTube these days called Gangnam Style, where this Korean man is dancing around like he's ridding a horse.. And if you haven't seen it, I suggest you do. Apparently it has become the most view video ever.. Now that seems a bit hard to believe, but then again it's hilarious. So a few nights ago when another one of my friends in Facebook posted the famous video, I traveled over to YouTube and started watching other videos that it suggested to me after I watched this one.

Let me just say, Koreans know how to get down, and I never knew this! I spent about an hour watching different K pop as it's referred to, videos and I must say I am now a fan.
Even though I don't speak Korean, or even slightly understand it, I still enjoyed watching these girls who were absolutely beautiful dance around and sing in these almost too high pitched voices. it's funny to see that even their pop music is suggestive and has women prancing around barely clothed in their videos, just like in America!

Movie time

This weekend when my boyfriend came home from school he wanted to go see a movie. So after we argued about what movie to go see, we finally decided on the new horror movie called The Possesion. Let me first start out by saying if you a scared very easily by demonic things and such I wouldn't even go near this movie. I normally can handle those exorcism movies because usually they are fake, or overly dramatic to the point of being hard to believe. But not this time.....

Not only was I tightly grasping Jonathan's (my boyfriend.. Well fiancé but that's still so new for me to say) hand out of love, but I was holding on for dear life because I was so scared! The most thrilling part of this movie is of course when the demon completely takes over the little girls body and starts to run rampid through this hospital she is in, and she runs into the mourge where all of these dead bodies are laying just faintly covered with sheets.... And all of a sudden you see her standing underneath this red emergency light and she starts chanting almost this one phrase "help me daddy, I'm scared" over and over again... And then she goes silent, and BOOM! The lights go off and it leaves you like " where the hell did she just go?!?!?"

Of course, there was the stereotypical black guy in the theater with us and when this happens he stands up and yells "awh hell naw, she gon get yo ass." that made everyone laugh and helped lighten the mood! Over all I loved this movie, it actually felt like something I could actually believe would have happened! GO SEE THIS!

Baby grive me one more try..

Now I know you're probably wondering why my title says "grive" instead of give.. Well it's solely because for the last four, extremely long years of my life I have worked at an Asian restaurant. Most Chinese people have a hard time pronouncing certain words or in my boss' case... Every word in English. So the other day when I was working I was talking with my boss and she was trying to name a song to me.. Sort of like a guessing game.

She would "sing" a few words and do a little dance.. Now even though I knew what song she was asking about after the first time she showed me, I kept saying "no.. I don't know what you're singing."
Without fail, Lisa, my boss, starts to sing the new maroon 5 song that goes as follows. "..got you stuck on my body, on my body, like a tattoo -ooo and now I'm feelin stupid, feelin stupid, runnin' back to you -ooo.." there's more, but this is what she kept singing. Her version was more of something along these lines.. " got oo struck on my brody, on my Brody, like a tattrrooooooo.. Now I is stupid, I is stupid ruhnning bat to rooo"

It's safe to say I was laughing so hard to the point of tears. I love my little Asian family and all of the funny things they do, it's just crazy how much othey LOVE our culture, and the things you wouldn't think they'd enjoy.. They do(:

I found these memes on Chinese people so I thought I'd share!
