Breaking Bad

Image
Breaking Bad is a crime show aired on AMC. This show is by far the most close up, in action you're probably ever going to get, to any real drug cartel. The story follows the life of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), he starts of a teacher stuck in his annoying cycle of life, and that's when he meets his former student Jesse Pinkman (Arron Paul) who wants nothing to do with Walt, but he persuades Jesse to work with him in this nasty industry. The show is really pushing the question "Who is actually bad?". Thorough out the story we see a change in Jesse and the puppet master, Walt. Where Jesse, really doesn't want to do the things that his "partner" wants him to do, and in Walt we see that the industry is really changing his views on family, friends, and how to conduct business, in a work that costed him more then he wanted to pay! Rate: 9/10

Edgefest

Image
Edge Fest is a yearly event, this event was held, this year, at the Toyota Stadium in Frisco. Having been in Dallas for over 20 years, it seems to be a event where people have to force themselves to actually go to, and it is evident that, undeniably, this event has flowed into the main stream. The line up includes BECK, The Avett Brothers, Grouplove, Bastille, Cage The Elephant, New Politics, The Neighbourhood, Switchfoot, MS MR, J. Roddy Walston & The Business, Chvrches, Kongo, Bear Hands, and Smallpools. I wasn't able to attend, however I watched it, and the show wasn't that bad as I thought it would be. I will be trying to go to this event next year! 

iPhone 6

Image
This phone is said to be the most revolutionary phone that is going to be in the market. It's said that it will be a screen size of  4.7 or 5.5 in. To start more ruthless competition with Samsung's more lager phones. Taking the more sleek deign of the Samsung galaxy 3 with curved edge, instead of a rectangle like design. By the looks of it apple is making drastic changes to stay in the game,which they have too!  I just wish for Apple to stay different, and not give in too much, to the way phones are headed!

Levitating Cars

Image
The future is closer than it seems! Floating cars maybe it our near future, in China they are working on many projects to make it available to the general population. There is in fact a levitating car from  Volkswagen, and is merely a prototype then a real thing ready for retail! This is very fascinating, with the evolution of our modern day items we can change what the whole world thinks about technology! Even though it is not the final product, we are well on our way to a new revolutionary world where everything in technology is possible! Concepts for floating cars:  

Steve Grand

Image
Steve Grand is an up rising LGBT singer who started of as a model from Chicago. Who is credited to being a country singer who has some American flare. He excelled in modeling which heavily contributed to his success in the music industry! His upload of All American Boy on YouTube cost him about 7,000 dollars, but have gained 2.8 million view to date! This song is really touching! The song starts of with him and some friends around a campfire, and their is this guy with his girlfriend. Steve likes the guy and they have a moment of romance, which the "straight" guy seems to like, but he chooses the girl instead of Steve! You can view his website below: www.stevegrand.com

Nicki Minaj

Image
The female rapping sensation has taken the whole industry to a whole another level. Even though there has been other female rappers she does it with a certain level of class that can not be compared. Some of her views have been considered  racy, but that's what make her so interesting...able to not censors any thing and to let them know exactly how you feel! On a side note, she is planing to have her wedding in a hot tub, so there's that!  http://mypinkfriday.com/

The Gay BFF

Image
I really feel that women have tried to turn gay people into accessories. The thought of this kind of angers me! Even though I am a person who cares for fashion and other things that you may like does not mean that I have to give you advice on everything you try to put on. Sometimes making some gay people feel like second-class citizens. For me, you should see me just as any other friend that you have because thinking we come with all theses features, in the end your just going to let yourself down!

Lana del rey- West Coast

Image
Lana Del Rey has been busy this year with her tour, new album, and this new song titled West Coast. She as always includes smokey vocals and nice instrumentals, but I wonder will it be enough? On her Born To Die album she gave us something new and exciting, I hope that she can keep her fans craving more of her. The song captured me lyrically, and gave me something on the same spectrum of her last album (that I love). Which takes me back, should we love it or should we hold out for something that differs from her other songs? Looking at the big picture it's only the start of something that I know will be fantastic and hopefully venture out-side the "normal"!

Chick-fil-A

Chick fil A is an American restaurant founded in 1946. The net worth of this restaurant is 4.0 billion, which confuses me! The Chick fil A's I have been to had bad customer service and the food was fresh, but the taste was off. It created a type of bitter taste with no flavor. I, (as always) have high expectations for any business  I visit. Grant it, it was the first Chick fil A I visited, and you can't judge a whole establishment on your first visit, but a first impression is hard to take away especially for a customer! Chick fil A-- 4 out of 10

Florence and the machine

Image
Florence Welch was born in Camberwell, London. She is a stellar performer who enchants the crowd with her powerful indie voice and smooth vocals that are loud (even live!) Welch's music has been apart of my life since the beginning of their band in 2006. Her performance skills excels any artist that I have seen live, and the emotion she put into it, is just astonishing! The overall experience she creates is hard for any artist to reach, let alone exceed. florenceandthemachine.net/‎

Christina Perri

Image
Christina Perri is an song-writer who has written many successful songs with a kind of sad pop or piano rock. I remember when she fist came to view of the world, she was a waitress who played and sung songs beautifully. Perri has never failed to me as a singer or a performer who is coming to Dallas,TX May 9th at House of Blues. I adore the way she put lyrics together to create euphony!  Link below:  www.houseofblues.com/venues/clubvenues/dallas/    

Coming Out

It's something we (gay) people have to experience, and my parents are Christians which make it 10 times harder! I had it all planed out, I was going to tell them when I was out of the house with no one to chastise me for what I believe in. That, however, was not the case! They where looking at my chromebook bookmarks and found that I starred the Human Right Campaign and Gay list daily (new for gay people). There is still a weight lifted, and a feeling of relive not having to hide who I am to anyone, but there is unfortunately the after math that I have to deal with! They, as you probably could guess are angry with and at the situation. I try to look at the bright side that I don't have to hide my identity anymore, but still it's a struggle!

Noah Movie

Image
This movie follows (Russell Crowe) Noah who in a world ravaged by sin and destruction is given the task to save his family and each animal species. The movie does a great job at the build and the climax-tic tension between certain characters. The real thing that carries this movie is the strong cast because at times you say "I saw that coming!", but by no means is it a bad movie.

Career Planing

For people who are preparing to venture out into the real world with responsibility and heavy independence. What are your plans? How are you going to achieve theses goals? What should you be doing now to secure your position in the future? Find out what you like to do (if you don't already know). Trying different things, even things you think you wouldn't like...create some type of plan to start gearing your life toward goals, and set them high because the higher you set them, the more you will strive to reach it. Even if you don't get there you will see that you got farther then you ever thought you could!  You have your goals! Good. What are the steps to working toward your career? Every job is different, but usually it's a good idea to get involved in your particular field right away. Take internships, volunteer for that job. Anything that is related to your filed you need to be in it! For me theater is what I love, I volunteer, I have an internship this summer. ...

BOSSY

If you didn't know many celebrities are trying to ban the word bossy because they say it discourages girls from speaking out or being the leader. Said from the likes of Beyonce, Jennifer Garner, and Jane Lynch. The thought of trying to ban a word from someones vocabulary is just absurd! When you try to do that, you are impeding on the right of freedom of speech. I see the idea behind it, but their are so many other words that discourage girls. Why don't we ban those words too? Simply put, I am not against this campaign, as long as no one is coming in my face and telling me what words I can NOT say!  You can read reasons not to ban bossy here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mary-dalton/5-reasons-i-will-not-b_b_5044633.html
