Go to Your Zoos!

     So the topic is zoos. I am going to tell you why it is so important to visit your zoos in your area. So everyone loves animals, right? And we hear all this talk about global warming and how all these amazing animals are threatened or endangered. Can you imagine your life without hearing about polar bears, tigers, panda bears, snow leopards? Wanna know what you can do to help these animals and conservation efforts all around the world?
     You could go to WWF and donate money to which ever animal you want to help and go about your day, or your could GO TO YOUR ZOO! Going to the zoo not only gives you something to do with your family, friends or significant other, it gives you a chance to see and learn about the exotic animals all around the world that you would only see in magazines. Zoos are the very things that fund and head conservation projects around the world. They also save species with their breeding programs and release back into the wild programs. They are the perfect solution to save the world and make a fun day out of it!
     While your at the zoo, you will learn about other animals that need your help and ways you could help them. They give you ideas to how to go green or what you can do in your own backyard to save some local species. If that isn't enough to pack the car up and go, I don't know what will convince you. Support your zoos and in turn save amazing exotic animals around the world. Sounds good to me! Well thats my opinion! Let me know what you think!

The Must See Musicals!

     Hi again! The topic of choice this time is musicals. The is a misconception about how musicals are not cool and lame but I have 2 that are amazing for anyone! And if your thinking it is Rent, it is not. The first one is a classic. With a combination of opera and rock and roll, The Phantom of the Opera is about a love triangle with Christine Daae,  Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny and the Phantom of the Opera. A lot of you probably know the basic concept of the story, but just describing it doesn't give you the full beauty of the music. visual effects and the love story behind the musical. I am not giving anything away but if you wondering what to do this summer with your time (and money since shows are using pricey) then check your local theaters and see if Phantom is coming to your town. 
     The second muscial that is a must see is Wicked. I am new to Wicked and i saw it last summer with my family. People were trying to describe it and tell me the concept of it so i had this idea of what it was going to be like when I went. They were soooo wrong. It is a definite comedy with a love story and action/passion in it. So for those who have never heard of it, Wicked is the story of the wicked witch of the west and the good witch when they were younger, before Dorothy dropped in. I'm not going to give anything away but it is sooo good you have to see it. It is great for anyone, even if you don't like musicals. The music is upbeat modern and something you would put on your ipod to listen to everyday. 
     These musicals are must sees that you need to bring your family, friends or significant other to. So check if any of these musicals are stopping into your town and buy tickets now, because they go fast! Well thats my opinion. Let me know what you think if you have seen them!

Movie: The Other Guys

     So I'm a little late on watching this, but I just saw The Other Guys staring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. It is this comedy about the New York detectives competing for the top spot as the cities heroes.  The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson are the rock star detectives in the beginning but after a stupid stunt, they both die and the positions are left for the next detectives to take. 
     Will Ferrell character of a accounting nerd is amazing. He plays it well. Every line he says was funny specially the ones that involved describing the wife (Eva Mendes) as plain and fat. Mark Walhberg's character is a bit over the top. It is definitely exaggerated how angry he is and I don't know it that was on purpose or not. He is not the best when it comes to the laughs alone, but him and Will together had some really good comedic moments. Also the boss, played by Michael Keaton, was hilarious. The lines where he unknowingly quoted TLC lyrics were hilarious. 
     Overall, this movie is packed with plenty of laughs and has a decent storyline. Will Ferrell outshine Mark Wahlberg but together they make a good comedic team. I would reccomend this movie to anyone. Its definitely worth your hour and a half. Well thats my opinion! Watch it and let me know what you think!!

Demi Lovato

     So I was on E online today reading about the latest celebrity news (my guilty pleasure) and I was reading about the newest happenings in Demi Lovato's life. For those who don't know, Demi Lovato is an actress on the Disney channel and also a recording artist with 2 studio albums out. She is an amazing singer with a voice beyond her years. 

     So recently she has had some "emotional issues" that have been very public. Those "emotional issues" have been revealed as an eating disorder and cutting. E online has been covering her story and have been very supporting in their press. The reason I am writing about this is because I am furious about the people who comment on her situation. There was this picture of Demi coming out of LAX airport where she was smiling and looked amazing. But no, people start commenting malicious things like "she is so fat" , "The coke was keeping her thin. Now that she's off it, she's ballooning up." and " She looks like a tramp with her bra and boob hanging out. Yep...a fat tramp.". Seriously, I couldn't write these mean things about someone I knew, let alone don't know anything about. This fetish in Hollywood about being skeleton skinny is really driving me crazy! Honestly I will post the website at the end so you can see the picture for yourself but she is nothing close to being fat and she looks beautiful and healthy. 

    It just really upset me that people would say these thing to a girl who is skinny and beautiful plus just got out of rehab for emotional problems. The internet is one thing to blame, since there is no real name to the comment or picture so they hide behind that and feel they can say whatever they want. To those people, I feel so sorry for you. Support your fellow girls that go through the same self esteem issues you do. Demi - I support you in your recover, you are a beautiful person and an AMAZING singer. Keep it up girl! Well thats my opinion, let me know what you think!

Femme Fatale : Britney Spears

     Britney Spears has come out with her 7th studio album! Femme Fatale is definitely a continuation from her Circus album with the dance-pop sound. Unlike other dance-pop Cds where the beat can start to sound the same and the songs are all alike, each of Britney's songs bring something different to each track.
     Unlike Britney's Circus album where I though needed more singing and less bass, Femme Fatale gives a good combination of both. I love her voice and I'm glad she is finally showing that off again. In songs like "Criminal" and "Trouble For Me" it is more like the "old" Britney but there are plenty of great songs on this Cd to make you get up and start dancing without skipping tracks. Right now my favorite is her latest single "Until the World Ends", the beat is AMAZING, but that could all change the more i listen to the Cd. My only disappointment is not the Cd itself, it is that Britney didn't write any of the songs. I don't know why but that bums me out a bit about Britney as a artist. Hopefully she will take some time this next album to put her own words on the tracks. 
     This isn't Britney's best Cd ever but it is definitely better than her last 2 studio albums (Blackout and Circus). I would recommend Femme Fatale to any one who loves a great beat and to those die-hard Britney fans that have been disappointed with her latest stuff in the past like i have. Get to listening! Thats my opinion, let me know what you think!

Threadless Tees

     Hi! Threadless T-shirts is the topic today. I found this site from a Facebook side ad. It is this website that has people submit designs for t-shirts, bags, phone covers, umbrellas and actual art, then people rate them. If the design gets a certain rating, then Threadless will print it on whatever for everyone to buy. The designs can be stupid, ironic, funny, cute, meaningful or abstract.
     I have bough several shirt from this site now for myself and as gifts for my brothers and my boyfriend. They might be a bit pricey at $20 a shirt and $45 a hoodie but they have good sales often that bring the prices down to 10 or 15 per shirt and 25-35 a hoodie. I love the animal shirts and the designs never get old. I got my little brother this Harry Potter inspired shirt that was awesome and he loved it. It's finds like these that make the site a great find!
     They get new designs in every week and they will reprint popular ones once they sell out. You can even participate in scoring the designs. If there is a design you come across that you love, you can tell Threadless and you can have them notify you when or if this design gets printed. For the one of a kind, soft, tagless, shirts, this site is a must for your wardrobe.Thats my opinion!  Check them out at www.threadless.com and let me know what you think!

Go Radio's New CD: Lucky Street

     Hi again! I'm here to talk about one of my favorite new bands out there, Go Radio. They formed in 2007 when Jason Lancaster left Mayday Parade (sad day). His voice is low but amazing and can definitely can belt it out. Their first CD was an EP called Do Overs and Second Chances. It was an awesome start with a breakout song of "Goodnight Moon" where Lancaster's voice gives you goosebumps, it's that good. Their new CD, Lucky Street starts where the EP left off. Every song shows off Lancaster's amazing vocals.
     My favorite songs on the CD is 'Fight, Fight (Reach for the Sky)' because of how catchy it is. Other stand out songs include 'Why I'm Home' because his voice is beyond great in this song., 'Redemption In the Verse', 'House of Hallways',  and 'The Truth Is'. These are only standouts but I listen to the CD all the way through without skipping a song, they are all great.
     I may be biased because Jason Lancaster is one of my favorite voices out there right now and Go Radio is one of my favorite bands but that shouldn't take away from the amazing lyrics, tunes and vocals on this CD. If you have never heard of the them, you should at least look them up and give a listen. If you are a fan of the old Mayday Parade, this band is a must. I recommend this CD to everybody, including my parents. Well thats my opinion. Let me here yours!!!
