Kenichi Ebina

So welcome to another random post. I was going to make Tuesday "Random Post Tuesday" but then I realized that I do that all the time anyway. So here is your random post of the week.

Have you seen Kenichi Ebina? He is currently on America's Got Talent and he is just so good. Before I go on talking about how amazing he is I just want to say that I pretty much gave up on most of the reality/competition TV shows. I just think that all the good judges are gone and when people vote it isn't always the talent that they are focused on. I do watch The Voice though, just because of Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. They are hilarious and make it so much fun to watch. 

Anyway here is Kenichi Ebina's audition:


I don't know if you can tell by the thumbnail but that's freaking awesome. I would just like to make a few remarks. Right before he actually starts to dance he is confused about where to put his microphone (I would be too. I mean you don't want to put it somewhere where you are going to step on it and then kill yourself). Anyway you can just tell the the judges think that he isn't going to be good. Then he does the head thing and everything else and totally proves him wrong! 

Right after the head thing he then says "Yeah I'm good." I think that is just awesome. He's like "Yeah. I'm awesome. What are you going to do about it?" Then when he does the falling backwards and getting up with no hands. WHAT THE HECK?! How is that even possible? That is freaking amazing. That probably deals with like a million and one muscles and to do it that easily. What the heck? 

Well there is my little bit of excitement. Also just because I like it when the judges are totally wrong here is a video of Terry Fator:


The quality isn't the best so I apologize for that. Anyway once again the judges were totally wrong on how much talent somebody had. Oh! You should know that this was the second season of America's Got Talent and none of those judges are on it anymore. Also Terry Fator won and now has a show in Vegas. So you should go check him out. 

I hope you enjoyed this random post where I shared some of the people I think are really talented to you. Stay classy and remember that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Favorite Characters

I have a major issue when it comes to choosing my favorite characters. A few years ago it was a huge crisis. Every single one of my favorite characters died, was evil, turned evil, was evil and died, and many other combinations that I doubt you even thought were possible! It really is my fault because I refuse to let my favorite character be a main character mainly because they don't die and what's the fun without some risk right? That's probably why they all die.

I won't bore you with all the different ways my favorite characters have died I will just share two of the worst one's with you (funny to you but worst to me). Anyway onto the stories!


Bryce Larkin = my favorite character
To start things off have you ever seen the show Chuck? It was my favorite show for the five seasons it was on air. Anyway my favorite character was this guy named Bryce Larkin played by Matthew Bomer. Anyway he was the main characters roommate in College. Anyway he gave Chuck (the main character) the "Intersect" which pretty much changed his life forever. Anyway when he sent the Intersect to Chuck I was under the assumption that he died. Then he was miraculously brought back to life by some magical new form of medicine. So that was really exciting for me because I was really happy he was alive and hoped I would see more of him. Then it turns out he is one of the bad guys. That really bums me out but I get over it because I figure I will see more of him and it will be really exciting none the less. Then Chuck shoots him and he dies. Yep. That made me sad. The end of another one of my favorite characters. To sum up: he died, he came back, he turned evil, he died again. 

Chadder the Chipmunk 
Next story! This one is extremely pathetic, just so you know. Anyway I would help out with VBS (Vacation Bible School) at my church by helping my father show the Chadder the Chipmunk videos they would always show. Well this time the video was sea related. So there was a boat with a skipper and the second mate. The second mate (if that's really what he's called) had a mop. The mop was really cool. It would be wearing goggles and hats and whatever else was needed for the scene. It was just awesome. Well eventually the wheel for the ship broke. Do you see what's coming? The only way to save them was to fix the steering wheel. So...the second mate broke the mop in half. Yes. My favorite character, A MOP, died. Pathetic. The was the lowest point of my favorite character crisis. 

My favorite characters go through a lot. Believe it or not that's not even the worst thing that's happened to them. I have had a favorite character die at least twice and still isn't dead. So there you go. If you have any terrible favorite character stories or want to hear more of mine let me know! Stay classy and remember that it's okay if your favorite character dies, it just means they are awesome. 

P.S. Why do all the cool people die?! What the heck!

In the future: Fangirling, History of Nail Polish, and a Random Post! Well, that should be interesting.

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.
~Scooby

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

Liebster Award

What in the world?! A post not on Friday? Well that's new. You're Welcome. Just Kidding. Wow. That's a lot of really short sentences...

Anyway if you read the title and are confused let my try and explain what this post is about. I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Riley at Smiles No Matter :) (<-- click me!!!). So thanks for that Riley! You should check out her blog where she writes all sorts of inspirational stuff! It will make you smile...just like the title says.

*Warning! This is will be extremely long! Leave now if you don't want to read for a long time!*

What is the Liebster Award? Honestly I'm not entirely sure. All I really know is the rules and I will share those with you in a moment. However, I'm pretty sure that it is pretty much this fun little survey thing that also gives us a chance to explore the world of blogs! Hooray for exploring!

Okay enough of my random ramblings about pretty much nothing. Here are the rules:
  1. Tell your readers 11 facts about yourself.
  2. Answer 11 questions asked by your nominator. 
  3. Nominate other bloggers (with less than 200 followers) to receive this award and make 11 questions that they have to answer.
  4. Tell them that would have nominated them! 
Sound good? Okay well lets get started with 11 facts about me you may or may not know.
  1. My favorite musical group is a five person acapella group called Pentatonix. I don't think I have every been more excited or obsessed about a musical group. Ever.
  2. I have two cats!
  3. I used to play the piano. 
  4. I used to play tee ball. I was extremely little. The first year I was one of two girls on the team. The next year I was the only girl on the team. Then I moved on to softball. 
  5. All of my serious injuries have happened on a playground. Playground are dangerous!
  6. I want to be a nerd. Maybe not so much of a nerd that I know whether or not Luke Skywalker is left handed or not, but enough of a nerd that I had played all the Mario, Zelda, and such games. Is that weird?
  7. I have never finished watching a whole hockey game even though I have been to two of them and found them somewhat interesting. I just had to leave for various reasons. 
  8. Pretty much all of my favorite characters in anything either die, are evil, turn evil, or in the most extreme case "dies", turns evil, and then dies again. Actually I think another one of my favorites might have "died" three times and is still around. Man, my favorite characters go through a lot.
  9. Speaking of favorite characters, I have a rule that my favorite character can't be a main character. That's probably why they all die.
  10. My favorite colors are neon orange and neon green. No...they don't go together very well. It's kind of sad. 
  11. I am obsessed with erasers. I have at least a hundred if not more. 
And now it's time for the question Riley has asked:

What is a topic that you can talk about for hours?

For hours?! Oh gosh that's a long time. I don't really talk about anything for hours that often because I say what I want to say and then I'm done with it. If I had to choose though it would probably be anything video related (like a movie, TV show, anime, etc.) just because you can keep watching it and having new things to talk about after watching a new episode or movie from the series. Plus if you have already seen it and you watch it again you can express your excitement or astonishment when you discover something you never noticed before. 

What is your favorite movie?

Gosh that's hard too. I have this idea in my mind that each movie has their own aspect that make them unique which makes it kinda hard for me to pick a favorite. If I had to choose it would either be Tangled or How to Train Your Dragon

If you could go anywhere in the world and with anyone, where would you go and with whom?

If I could go anywhere in the world I would go to the eastern hemisphere and I would go with my friends. Did I cheat the question by saying a hemisphere? Oh well. ...Oh alright. If I have to choose one specific place it would probably Australia or New Zealand and yes still with my friends. I don't think I am capable of picking one person to go with me. 

Why do you blog?

Well I started blogging because I knew I was going to need to rant to someone/something and actually feel like I was being heard. I was in a rough patch because I had a question in my head that expressed my annoyance with the world. It was "Who do you complain to when you want to complain about everyone?" Yeah. I was really annoyed. So I made a blog. Why do I blog now? Well it keeps me sane and its not like I have anything better to do some days right?

If you only had five sentences left to say before losing the ability to speak, what would you say?


"I only have five sentences left in my entire life?! How is that even possible what kind of disease or malfunction am I experiencing? Wait! Could I just never end my sentences and always be able to speak? That would be nice." 
*in my mind*
Sounds goo--wait! Why isn't any noise coming out of my mouth? Crap! I already used my five sentences! Gosh dang it! 

If you wanted some really deep answer I'm sorry. I don't think I'm capable of providing one for you. 

Who is your favorite character in fiction?

Um...probably Scooby Doo. If you couldn't tell by my alias. However, I have many many many many favorite characters many of which die. A lot of them also come from mystery related shows because they are just so awesome.

What is a song you could listen to on replay for hours?

Again. Hours is an extremely long time. That's like listening to a normal length song more than 30 times. I would probably get sick of the song after that long. But since I have to choose it would be Running Just to Catch Myself by Mark Schultz. It doesn't have an official music video but this is better than a lyrics video right? So the guy in the video isn't Mark Schultz. 


I like this song just because its so much fun and the lyrics are actually rather funny. Not to mention its over 5 minutes so I wouldn't hear it as many times in one hour. 

Describe yourself in 3 words!

I am weird. Oh wait did you want three adjectives? I don't do well with describing myself.

There is a snow day and school was cancelled--what do you do?

Realistically or what I wish happened? Realistically sit at home watching a movie, play a video game, maybe read, and of course sleep. What I wished happened is I would go sledding and build a snow fortress with my friends. Then go inside have delicious hot cocoa and apple cider. Maybe watch a movie or something. I don't know, the point is I would be with my friends. However, since it's a snow day I can't exactly drive anywhere which means I'm stuck in my neighborhood where I don't really know people. 

What is your favorite book, and why?

Favorite book? Oh goodness. I really don't know. Maybe Harry Potter because I think that was really when I got more into actually reading. Either that or the Pendragon series. That was a really fun series that I feel like not very many people actually know about. However, I really don't think I have a book that I've read multiple times.

What is your favorite quotation?

I don't really have a favorite quote that is inspirational if that's what you're looking for. Otherwise it would either have to be "They popped out of the snow! Like daisies!" by Mushu in Mulan just because its amazing how he says that. The other quote needs the previous remarks to actually make sense. So here we go:
"Zoinks!" -Shaggy
"Rikes!" - Scooby
"Jeepers!" - Daphne
"Jinkies!" -Velma 
"... Dang! I still don't have a catch phrase!" - Fred 
Poor Fred. I don't know why but that's the quote that always pops into my head because it's rather ironic. A quote about not having a catch phrase (or quote). ...Well I think it's funny. That's from Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword if you were interested. I really enjoyed that movie.
Oh! There's another one! Sorry I can't really decide which is my favorite... "It was the first new century in one hundred years." I really like that quote just because it's true and has this sort of excitement in it. It is from the first introduction song of Detective Conan which is an anime. There you go. Officially done. :D

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?

Nail Polish

How the heck did someone decide to create nail polish? Were they just looking at their nails and thought: "Grrrroooooooossssssss! My nails look so normal...and flesh colored! I wish my nails were like Barbs nails."  I mean what the heck? Why did we suddenly decide that us girls (and some guys) need to make our nails different colors?

I paint my toenails because I think it makes my feet look gross but recently I have been looking at my toenails and thinking that it is really weird. Why do we think that rainbow colored nails are more attractive? I just don't understand. 

How did they make nail polish in the first place? Did they randomly take some paint and put it on their nails? Or did they put wrap their fingers except for their nails and then put their fingers in some dye? Like how the heck did the very first prototype (?) of nail polish come into existence? I don't know. Do you?

Why did they decide that they needed to make it super sticky? It's so hard to get the nail polish off of your fingers when it's so sticky! When I'm trying to get it off my nails because it's pretty much gone it takes way too long! And I'm getting a arm/hand work out while I'm scrubbing it off. 

Even though the nail polish is super sticky After one stinking day it chips! What the heck?! Don't do that! After like a week all the nail polish will be gone except for on my pinky finger and thumb. How does that work? I'm not sure. 

Waiting for the nail polish to dry is also a very annoying part. It takes soooooo looooonnnngggg! Plus if you do a lot of layers you can rub some of it off. Basically it's not completely dry until like 24 hours later. What the heck! I can't tell you how many time I have painted my nails three hours before I go to bed and then when I wake up the next day I have little patterns from my sheets. So confusing.

Sad but true
People need to make an easier way to paint nails. I can paint one hand just fine but once I get to the other hand all my hard work fails. It takes forever and looks terrible. With my uncoordination (not a word, I don't care, you get my meaning) with my non-dominate hand and unintentional girly hand movements because of the nail polish on that hand I just end up failing. Does that make sense? 

Whenever I do my nails in my room I always have the nail polish remover. By the time I finish my nails my room smells like nail polish remover and stays that way for the next day. Can we please find a scentless nail polish remover?! That would make me extremely happy. 

Okay I admit I got into a little bit of a rant and started to ramble. Now for my final point that I actually wanted to make when I started this post. Why do we feel the need to make our normal colored body parts different colors? Tattoos are the same way but that's a whole different topic. Before you know it we are going to be dying our whole bodies different colors! Wait a minute! Maybe that's why the Capitol people in the Hunger Games had different colored bodies. Weird. 

Well there is your rant for the day/week. Stay classy and remember that you don't need to make your body different colors to be beautiful! "You are beautiful in every single way!" (That's a song by Christina Aguilera if you didn't know that called "Beautiful"...and I gave credit to the author so you can't get mad at me!) Don't change yourself because others want you to or to fit in. 

In the future! The history of Nail polish, YOLO, fangirling, favorite characters! Get excited!

Exam Results

So during my English class this last school year my teacher showed me this video. With AP results coming out soon I thought I would share this video with you. Personally I feel like they have taken way to long to get here but now that they are I feel like they caught me off guard.


After we watched the video we had a little discussion about whether or not we let exam results decide our fate. I can't remember exactly what was said but a majority of it was that that focus so much about your grades. If you fail an exam it isn't the end of the world. Something along those line! Let me know what you think in the comments!

I hope I helped a little bit. If I didn't I hope the video did. Stay classy and remember that I believe in you and don't lose hope!

In the future! Nail polish rant, YOLO, fangirling! What could those possibly be about?
