Sesame Street Meets Will.i.am.

Just a heads up. This is a really random post. I wrote it a while ago and just decided I would post it because why not? Plus I'm really tired. Hopefully next week there will be an better post. :)

In my Biology class my teacher starts off reading a bunch of fun facts to start the class (I would like to share some of them with you but I can never remember what they were). After reading the fun facts she then told us about a song that has been playing in her house 24/7. This is the song she played:



This song has like 25 million views and is actually pretty fun. I enjoyed it and the chorus was stuck in my head. Even right now it is stuck in my head. I don't know why but I felt like sharing this song with you. It's not everyday you see Will.i.am singing with the characters from Sesame Street. Did you think he looked really bored and like he didn't want to be there? Yeah. Me too. Oh well I'm assuming he survived. Although I have to say that Sesame Street was a whole lot cooler seven years ago then it is now.

P.S. I hope you aren't like Will.i.am in that song while reading my blog.

YOLO

Hello once again everyone! I don't know if you have heard this saying that was pretty happy. YOLO? Ever heard of it? How do you feel about it? Personally I think its rather stupid. Not because I don't think its true that you only live once and that you shouldn't live it to the fullest. My main problem is how people use it. People will say I'm going to do this because YOLO. Well yeah but should you really be fighting a bear because YOLO? I don't think so. If YOLO then you should hide in a closet until the bear is gone so you don't die and lose that one life you have! You silly silly people.

These people actually made a song about it. I found it rather fun and thought I would share it with you because it expresses my annoyance in a fun musical way.



Well there you go! I hope you enjoyed that little song. I feel like I said this before but YODO, you only die once. Make sure you make it count. Just kidding. Stay classy and make sure you enjoy your life but don't do something stupid just because YOLO.

In the future! Fangirling, Favorite Characters, and the History of Nail polish! Are you excited?

Why So Serious

I bet you think I'm going to go on some rant about why people annoy me. Well I'm not...today anyway. Instead I'm going to share a song with you because it makes me happy and I really like it.


So I really just like the chorus. It reminds me of something but I can't think of what. If I figure it out I will tell you. But when I first read the title the first thing I thought of was:


Half the time I think that's how they are going to say it but I'm wrong. Oh well. Anyway I really like this group (this is Kpop again if you didn't know so they are speaking Korean) but there is normally five people but in this one there's four. That made me sad and curious so I googled it. Apparently the fifth guy broke his nose and had surgery and is in bed rest. I don't know how I feel about that but hey, at least the song is fun!

Thanks for reading! Don't forget to stay classy and remember that you don't always have to be serious. Take time to have fun once in a while. It will help keep you happy.

P.S. You have one more day left to vote on the poll on the side. <-- that way but upward too. I will tell you guys the results probably next week!

The Fort

Talk about ridiculous prices, creepy old guy, food, dressing up, Waugh and gift, and singing ladies plus magically appearing food and sneaky waiters and waitress saying thank you very much to every one and thanking us. Think of singing "please don't eat me" from dragon song in avpm while eating

So as I said in my previous post I had a Christmas party on the first with some family friends. Every year we get together and we trade off going to each others house. This year it was our friend who is really big into Christmas. When I was younger she would always buy us each at least 10 presents. She still does now just not as much because we got rid of the gift exchange part. Anyway this time she decided to take us to The Fort. The Fort is a very fancy restaurant where two people can easily spend over $100.

This be the place.
 So before we actually left I asked my parents if I needed to dress up. The response: "YES!" I couldn't even wear jeans! That's my life! If you don't know me I hate dressing up. It's a pain in the butt. My normal outfit consists of jeans, a T-shirt, and a hoodie (socks and tennis shoes as well). My hair is also up in a pony tail and no make-up is on my face. When I'm home and know I'm not going anywhere I will where sweats instead of jeans and slippers. Anyway they said I could wear some black pants I had but I really didn't want to because they always have cat hair on them and aren't that comfortable and I'm all about comfort. So I decided if I had to go to this place and dress up it was all or nothing. Since my parents wouldn't let me wear sweats I went with a dress. I even straightened my hair and put on some makeup (I used my friend's boots that I borrowed at one point and haven't given back yet....oops). I brought clothes to change into for when we went back to her house because I refused to stay in that outfit longer than I had to.

The food:
Well once everything started we got drinks (I got water because after looking at the prices of their appetizers I was afraid their drinks would be really expensive too). We got an appetizer that had three different kinds of sausage on it. The one I had tasted like chili to me. Kinda weird. Then we got our main meals (I got filet mignon) it was very good and like $40 dollars. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. The first time I got the menu I wanted to know if they had a kids meal because I would be fine with that. Well let's just say my father said no to that too. The food was really good though. I'm not a big steak fan but that was good stuff. I would eat that again. My father got a full rack of ribs and I kid you not the stack was as big as my head. There was a lot of food and that was good too. The vegetables were also really good which impressed me because normally I will pass on them at a restaurant.



The Atmosphere:
There was this Mountain Man there that would sneak up behind you and just stand there until you turned around. The only way you would know that he was there is when the people around you would tell you. At first I didn't think he was a mountain man...I thought he was a strange Santa Claus because he had the beard and everything except for the clothes. I was confused. He was rather creepy.



There was also this group of four ladies that would go around singing Christmas carols at each table. That was really cool. They were good too.

The Service:
The service was very good (probably part of the reason it is so expensive there). You got an appetizer menu and once you were done eating your appetizer they would take your dirty dishes and give you new dishes for the rest of your meal. I was really confused at first because they took my knife and fork. When we got our main meal they gave us a different knife that seemed rather sharp to me. You would also be eating and then suddenly see that more food arrived and be really confused as to how it got there and if a waiter/waitress put it there. It was magical. Like the tables at Hogwarts. Our waitress also kept saying "Thank you very much" after we ordered. It seemed strange to me because you are the one making us the food we should be thanking you (granted it isn't free by any means but your still giving us good food). Plus it was weird because she said it to every person and it got really repetive.

Other:
After we were done eating we were given this pieces of paper. Some of the said that if you went to their store you would get a gift. So we went to the shop and got a block of fancy chocolate. That was nice. On the paper the word "Waugh" was written which I didn't really understand why it was there. Maybe that is somebody's name. When I googled it there was an author with that last name and a Waugh school district and a bunch of other people.

The prices were ridiculous in my mind. You didn't get any more food than you would in any other place yet you spent at least $40 unless you were a vegetarian. If you're a vegetarian and you get their vegetarian dish that is $20. Vegetarians for the win!

While I was eating my meal I got a song stuck in my head. It is a Starkid song called "The Dragon Song." Before I share the video you should know that the only part of the song that was stuck in my head was when he sings "So please don't eat me." I was singing "please don't eat me" in my head while I was eating my meat. Sigh. How does that even happen? On the video I would go to 5:45 if you don't want to watch that much and actually want to know what I'm talking about. If you want to watch the whole video go for it!


That was my adventure at The Fort. Sorry this post was rather long.

Nillili Mambo What?

Once again what did I just watch?


So um...I don't know if I should admit this or not but I found myself actually enjoying this and laughing at it. Especially at the end and when the guy was chasing a rooster. Nothing says gangster like chasing a rooster right? Haha so funny.

Oh yeah and lets not forget the lines "this song is groovy groovy." That may be true but considering how you're acting I don't think you should really be saying that. Just a thought. Along with "okey dokey" I think you've got a really tough song here guys...not.

Now lets get to the plot of the music video. Yes, there is a plot (I didn't notice until somebody pointed it out to me). The first dude steals the diamonds from those business looking guys (why the left the diamonds alone I have no idea). He shows it to his friend who is eating a lollipop...yes also very tough. They try to open it and get caught with the diamonds because he holds up like the monkey in the lion king.

Yes just like this.
They give it to another dude and a bunch of other nonsense happens that I don't really follow. All I really know is that there are a ton of suitcases (and of course the dude chasing the rooster...very cool).

There is also the dude that has a gone and is all confident and then when he pulls the trigger it fails. And then the people that were pointing a gun at him start beating him up? Seriously?! You could have shot him! They didn't even do a very good job at beating him up either. When you see him later he is limping (why I don't know it didn't even look like they were hitting his legs anywhere) and his lip is bleeding. Oh poor baby! Don't worry your face is still pretty even though it shouldn't be.

I like the ending though because they fail at the end and then turn on each other. Much better. Except the high pitched girl voices and screams didn't help. Oh well you were close.

Does the video make sense? No not really but I still enjoyed it because it was goofy. Just the way I like it.
~Scooby

P.S. This is the same group I did my other post on (NalinA what?) and I didn't know that until somebody told me that. It all made so much more sense!

NalinA what?

Um...What did I just watch?



Well if you aren't familiar with what this is, this is kpop. What is kpop? It is korean pop music. Why do I watch this? Well it's good music and once you get past the strangeness and the language difference the songs are pretty catchy. I will find myself singing a kpop song at school (except I don't normally know the words so I will sing the tune or if there are english parts in it those will repeat 100+ times in my head).

Anyway somehow I found myself watching this music video by this group I had never heard of before (that tends to happen a lot though because there are a ton of groups and a ton of new groups that always come out too). As I was watching this song I found myself analyzing it and therefore decided I would share.


Okay so it starts with this dude in front of some wall with something on it that I don't know. Then the dude lights a lighter and lets it sit there. Firstly, why did he light that? Was he bored and pulled it out and lit it or what? Secondly, I never actually saw him close the lid when he put it in his pocket. When I first saw that I was like "Wait! Is he lighting himself on fire?! What's going on!" Well I'm going to assume he's not lighting himself on fire and that they just changed frames right as he closed the lid, but that really through me off.

Then it goes to this other dude drinking something strange....what the heck is he drinking anyway? Then these dudes in the back ground start to (I don't know how to describe it) abuse (?) this girl and he spins a coin and then beats the guys up (good for him...actual punching! Wow!) grabs the coin that is still spinning and leaves with his entourage. Now then he is very good at spinning that coin. I wonder how many takes it took them for that to work. Did he even pay for his weird looking drink? I thought that coin was to pay for it (although I don't think that would have been enough) but then he snatched it away. Um after looking closer I have come to think that some members of his entourage were also some of the dudes abusing the girl (look at one of the dudes jackets there is an 8 on it in the background and one of the first dudes to follow. Okay so maybe that dude wasn't the one abusing the girl but he was very close and was watching. Also it would have been easier for him to beat up the abuser but I guess that's the leaders job? Who knows. But where did his whole entourage come from? One moment there were like 4 in the background and then next minute there's like 50 people following him!

There are teams. Team Black Dragon and Team Red Tiger. I'm pretty sure they are rival groups and yet they end up dancing together? Weird. I don't know about you but if I'm somebodies rival I tend to avoid them. I definitely wouldn't dance with them. Plus they are doing the same dance...that means they must have coordinated together. Does that mean they don't really hate each or other? Or did both groups conveniently plan the same dance to do at the same time? Hmm...

Now we get to the lyrics. Oh boy.

"I don't know I don't know I don't know but I'm hot, hot." I thought you didn't know? So you're hot but you don't know? I'm confused....

"You know what you know what what you know what what I mean mean." What do you mean? I really don't know what you mean... It's like they knew somebody would get on there last line so they put this in to say to question it you know what I mean! Just like when you tease somebody about what they said and they reply "You know what I mean!" Unfortunately I don't know what you mean.

"Because everything about me is perfect." Um...a little full of yourself aren't you? As I have described in the last two paragraphs no you're really not perfect.

The best part is what they say after that though: "gugugaga gugugaga" They are speaking baby speak. Maybe they are telling babies that they are perfect, I don't know, but that is just strange.

I also remember him handcuffing some girl to himself. I don't know about you but if some dude came up to me saying he's perfect and then "gugugaga" I would run and hide. I wouldn't let him handcuff me to himself. That is a major creeper alert.

So when the two group leaders meet they begin to "fight". Okay so they aren't actually fighting they are pushing each other. Eventually one gets shoved harder and ALMOST falls (even though he looks good when he falls too...sigh) and he's like "Oh no you didn't!" So he makes a hand gesture and everybody else begins to get in the "fight" as well. Once again they aren't actually fighting they are shoving each other. Lame. Then one leader stomps his foot and everybody falls over. "Oh no! He just stomped his foot! That's even worse than shoving! Everybody hide!" Seriously? So lame. Except for the other leader he wasn't intimidated...but I think he's going to need to get some new members in his group...they both are actually.

Is he having a dance off with a girl? I'm confused. Whoa!! Why is there a girl mixed in with this fight?! That's not okay! (She's even in the shoving war!)

Oh wait!! I think I understand now! The two teams were going to have a dance off and they each had to create their own unique dance. However when they got to the location and started their dance off they that they were doing the same dance! This angered them so they started the whole "You cheated! Not fair!" Well neither one liked being called a cheater so they started shoving each other. Then this girl comes along and is like "You all are lame! This is how you dance!" But she is doing the same dance as everyone else.

Hold up...why did that dude have a lighter in the beginning? You never see it again in the video.

Oh! How come there voices randomly get really high like they just inhaled a gallon of hydrogen? It's random and weird. Sometimes they sound like a squeak toy too. No me gusta.

So at the end...who wins? All we see are the two leaders finally actually fighting (but we don't see them actually land any blows we just see them make a cool "I'm going to kick/punch you" pose). And! They are in the same group...I hope they don't feel like that in real life because that could be really bad.

Okay so despite my making fun of it I think it's a catchy song. It just don't make sense. That was also a lot of ranting and might not have made much sense but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.

P.S. I'm still not smart enough to figure out how to fix the video size so bear with it.

P.S.S. They subs were wrong on the heads shoulder knees part....the person that did the subs can't type.
