That's Just Life

Hello everyone! Today I'm doing one of the number one things you can do to rekindle yourself with your inner child... I'm going to the ZOO! Yes my friend Shalom invited me to go to the zoo and what was I suppose to say? "Oh no I don't think so zoos are boring." Who would say that? Zoos are awesome! I might just be hyper because I had a cup of coffee two minutes ago, but I really think it's because I'm going to the zoo! I got this picture of one of the pandas at the Memphis Zoo, the zoo I'm going to. Isn't it cute? The pandas are my favorite at the zoo, they're SO adorable when the chew on bamboo and play with each other! My other favorites are probably polar bears, penguins, and flamingos. I used to be obsessed with flamingos when I was little, even though I didn't pronounce the word flamingo right until I was like five, I still loved them! It was mostly because I love beaches, and I always put flamingos and beaches hand in hand. Even though I've never seen a living thing ON the beach when I go other than people. Mostly just dead fish and a ditch some kid dug full of dead jelly fish... these are my vacations... well I got to go get another cup of coffee and get ready to go to the zoo. Bye bloggers!

In the last few days my life has been movie filled, including two movies that really stood out in the tons I watched. Those would be Shawshank Redemption and The House on Sorority Row. I started my Friday night with a wonderfully executed horror film from 1984. May I just say that the 80s, NOT a good time for movies. I mean, I don't think a lot of people slept well in the 80s. That could of been because they were trying to sleep in shoulder pads or because they thought they might die, either or! But The House on Sorority Row is no.14 on the best horror movies of the 80s. And let me add I just saw an extremely creepy picture on that list, the things I do for the bloggers. But The House on Sorority Row is about I think it was five girls who prank their house mother and accidently kill her. Sound familiar? Their remaking the spine tingling thriller which is due October 2nd 2009. If your a movie goer like myself you might have already seen the trailer on the big screen. I'll admit that the newer version looks more intense and scary, but nothing can beat the 80s. I think Terminator is a good example, who would rather see the awesome stop motion terminator instead of the all green screen and effects terminator? But back to The House on Sorority Row, after the prank goes wrong bad things happen to each girl, and they are confronted by a lady in a dark black cloak... And a clown. I honestly believe the clown was just added because well... Clowns are f*cking creepy and they really just wanted to make you scream. I'm not entirely sure about this because the version I watched was only 40 minutes, trimming all the crap and getting straight to the gore. Since I never even saw the house mother, I can't confirm if she was the killer. But if any of you think this sounds like a good movie, well in a way your right. But for the lighthearted, for your health, this is not your movie. They showed a girl get her throat slit, something that a faint person will not take well. All in all, my last thoughts about this movie were "Nicely done and good acting. Main character reminds me of that girl from Twilight who's name I cannot remember right now. Very gory, but all in all an exciting thrill ride." After watching that with my best friend, I watched very much later an episode of Family Guy which intrigued me to watch Shawshank Redemption, based on the book by Stephen King. Shawshank was great. The acting and script were wonderful, and Morgan Freeman couldn't have been better for his part. I was happy to see Stephen King wasn't as demented as I thought... until I went to his website. The next night I was wondrous to see if he had any other heart felt dramas, yet my spine disagreed. Seeing the list of movies, I saw almost every movie title that had always made me wince, every poster I shied away from when I saw it, and don't get me wrong, King is a genius none the less, but he is a reason I didn't get much sleep as a kid. It's not healthy to come up with so many blood curdling movies! Really, I would like to see more Shawshank and less Carrie. But even though I would claw my way out if I was in the same room with him, I have to say that after his movies I'm always in awe because their great. Sure I won't sleep for a week, but I will know that he has some great (yet extremely weird) movie and book ideas. So the moral of this blog, Stephen King is a disturbed genius, the 80s was possessed fashion and movie wise, The House on Sorority Row is not for the faint, and most importantly, watch Shawshank Redemption! Have fun movie going!

Alright so I was watching School Year Vlogs from peron75, or whatthebuckshow on youtube and I started thinking about my 3rd grade memories, and I knew it would not fit in the 500 characters in the youtube comment section. So, you guys can here this! Alright, so the first day of school I'm going to this school that I've never been to before, all new people, and all new bitchy teachers may I add! I went in and sat down and a few minutes later the teacher walked in. She was wearing a long blue button up type dress WITH matching tennis shoes. Also, no offense to her, but she was sorta...big. I'm pretty sure I have the right to say whatever the hell I want about her after the way she treated me though. Back to the story, after the first week I developed a crush on some cute blonde guy and had two new friends, I think their names were Natalie and Kaley. I THINK. 3rd grade is a bit of a blur, so I'm not positive about that. Well, also after the first week my teacher kept pulling me out into the hall EVERY FRACKING DAY to punish me for...nothing. I literally was a normal student, never hurt anyone, I just talked with my friends and did my work. Well she kept dragging me out there and you know I have no idea what she said because I knew I was always thinking "What did I do? I didn't do anything that's what I did! Stupid teacher. I hate this lady." Well after a few months of bitch number one, and the bitchy bully who picked on me(may I just mention both of them were fat, and I remember I was like so thin you could see my lungs then because I had had salmonella the year before)my parents had to pull me out of this god forsaken school and put me back in the wonderful Farmington Elementary, and do you know what my teacher did on the last day? She acted all nice and crap like all her bitching had been my imagination. So after my first day back to Farmington, the day of the Book Fair, once I got home my back was KILING me and I had a red spot on my ribs. Next day I find out, I have shingles. Do you know what the main cause of shingles is? STRESS. But can't imagine where me, an innocent 3rd grader who minded her own business got so overwhelmed with stress she got shingles? Couldn't of been Mrs.Smith now could it? Nooo she was much to nice! NOT! Well anyways I was out of school for a week and oh gosh, everyone in my class was too nice, I got personalized get well cards from all of them the next following days. It was so sweet! Once I got back into school everything was normal, life went on, one of my friends, Leslie, moved in the second semester, but other than that the rest of the year was great! Thanks for listening, it felt good to call that dip wad a bitch. Thank-you for putting up with my stories.

So tonight some of my friends and me are going to another friends house for sort of an end of the year party. We were told to bring a swim suit in case it didn't rain, or snow with the unpredictable weather here in Memphis. But it reminded me of when I went to this friends house and swam with her and another friend in like March. It was about 65 degrees outside, but it was SO much fun! Sure we were shivering and swimming rapidly to stay warm, but when your having so much fun to not think about the cold, it doesn't bother you anymore! You got to love spur of moment choices like that. I mean, we didn't even have swim suits! We all had shorts and a t-shirt on that we borrowed from my friend! This might sound like the stupidest thing to do, but hey! Everything is fun with friends. We could steal a car and be laughing our asses off while the cops chase us on the Memphis Bridge. So, I'm excited to go swimming, but even if it's cold, I'm sure it'll be tons of fun. Besides, summer is here! Mother Nature really needs to get some pills for her menopause, I mean it's rainy, it's snowy, how about some sunshine you old bitch?! As you can probably tell, I f--king hate the weather here. Well I'm going to go see what the weatherman-that-never-ever-is-accurate has to say! Wish me no hypothermia!

Ah painting...isn't it fun? Taking a blank canvas and covering it with hundreds of colors? Well that's not the painting I'm talking about. I'm sadly talking about getting carpal tunnel while stroking a fat brush up and down the shutters on my house. SUPER FUN! So our canvas is the shutters and my brush is an oversized fat brush that hasn't been used in years so the little hairs or whatever those things are keep falling off while I'm painting. It's not as fun as painting a bowl of fruit I'll tell you that. BUT, luckily someone is helping me! But my oh-so-helpful friend really loves breaks. Like every hour equals one break...the only thing keeping me from hiring someone to paint the shutters, is knowing you have to pay whoever you hire. I honestly wouldn't care about the shutters if they weren't faded blue. It would look cute if my house was white, but my house is those boring normal brownish redish bricks. Doesn't match faded blue at all. Were painting them like...the name has the word pearl in it...but it's like...white/tan...that sounds about right. I'm going to go see whatever the hell the name of the paint is! See ya bloggers!

Ever had one of those moments that just made you go "What the hell?" or even a WTF moment? Well I saw a picture of a cute pair of heels and was inspired to seek an insane pair of shoes. And my search did not come up empty handed. This picture might have made you go wtf, or just stare at it for a moment before reading about it. Well I can only guess that this is a photo shoot picture, mostly because you can't walk in those(literally)and only someone being paid would wear those. But, it brought me back to something that has always made me wonder. Ever since I was a little girl I've loved fashion, even growing up I've tried to be creative with my outfits and draw outfits when they come to me, BUT, I've always awed at the crazy thing designers come up with. I understand being bored, but no one will wear some of those outfits! It's crazy! Designers charge tons of money for these designs, but they're not really...how do you say...um...UNWEARABLE. I mean, don't you agree? These heels literally make you foot arch all the way up, making it completely impossible to walk on a flat surface! Who came up with this? And WHY? Don't you think sometimes designers are just bored? That's what I think. But hey, if you want to kill your feet, be my guest! So what's your opinion? Write it in the comments!

Oh my gosh FINALLY summer is here! Can't wait to go to a crowded beach with dead fish on it...uh sit through traffic at five in the morning...get sun burned...and oh! Slide through pee in fun water parks. Sounds fun right? No...summer is always full of tourists, and being a tourists too, you don't want to deal with them. Now if I can take a guess at where almost everyone is going, I would say Florida. TONS of tourists go to Florida! And going to Florida at the beginning or end of summer is bound to not be too fun because of the hundreds of flooding tourists. So, if you can't go at the beginning or the end of summer, go in the middle of the summer! Spend you first few weeks of summer soaking up your home town sun, and when you have so much time to plan ahead, your trip is bound to be fun! If your going to Florida for beautiful beaches and maybe a few water parks, DON'T go to Orlando! Do you know how many thousands of people go to Orlando? Find a more secluded town that's just a drive away from tourists attractions. Well, I just thought I would give you bloggers the heads up about Florida summer madness! Got to go tan now!

-Keep shining, Mrs.Brightside

Hey all you bloggers! Mrs.Brightside here with my first EVER blog. But like most of the things I do, it's extremely late at night. It is...2:29AM in Memphis right now! For all you nocturnal crack heads out there, I know it sucks! You sleep in until one in the afternoon and wake up with what feels like a hangover...but you didn't drink last night! So I feel your pain all you noccys. That's right I just made up a new saying. Nocturnal people are now...noccys. But I bet your asking yourself, "What's the point of this blog?" Well guess what? There really isn't. Maybe in the future, during normal day time hours, I will have something to share with you all. But at this hour, all I have to report is that Home Improvment isn't that funny! But moving on from predictable sitcoms and sleepy crack heads, I want to talk about music. Music is something that everyone likes, not the same genre maybe but everyone likes music. Music can make you feel better when your sad, make you remember a story when you can relate to the lyrics, make you laugh or cry, whether their tears of joy because the song brings back great memories, or their tears of sadness, maybe thinking of a lost love? So what kind of music do you like? Me personally am an all out vintage girl. I relate to none of my friends exactly when it comes to taste in music, I like too much sixties, seventies, and a little of the eighties to relate to them when they talk about new artists. So, I'm ending this blog with a simple question; What music can you just, mellow out to, relax and fall into a trance? Thanks for listening to my crazy rant!
