  • Adam Lambert

    You all either saw it, or heard about it. What was the big deal about Adam's AMA performance? Welllll, why don't you watch it and form an opinion in your mind first? He's definitely here "For Your Entertainment."I know what you're thinking. WHOA! Adam, what are you thinking? But think about it... even if you hate it... you REMEMBER it. You won't forget about Adam Lambert after seeing this performance. Personally, I think this performance fits PERFECTLY with the song. It goes along to the lyrics, and if you don't like the performance then you most likely don't like the song either. Adam showed the world that he's not afraid to be himself, and get a little crazy. As soon as he said "Can you handle what I'm bout to do," he kissed his male band member. He's bringing something different, and Glambert is indeed standing out from the crowd.If you can't handle what he's bout to do, then maybe he's just not for you? No need to make a huge fuss about it. He doesn't care if you don't like him, he's not here to make every single person like who he is. He has his fans, and that's good enough for him. The man has chops, and can sing his heart out. You cannot deny that fact.In a Access Hollywood interview after the show, Adam says "Female pop artists have been doing provocative things like that for years. The fact that I'm a male and I get edited and discriminated against could be a problem. I won't be surprised if it gets edited." If you'd like to see the rest of this very classy interview, here it is!



    I agree, Adam. You work it.

    What do you think of Adam Lambert's performance? Over the top? Maybe. Fun? Definitely.

  • Dear you,

    Like the great Michael Buble says, "I know someday that it will all turn out. You'll make me work so we can work to work it out. And I promise you kid that I'll give so much more than I get. I just haven't met you yet. I might have to wait. I'll never give up. I guess it's half timing, and the other half's luck. Wherever you are, whenever it's right... you'll come out of nowhere and into my life."
    Where are you? I've been waiting for you all my life. I'm not exactly sure what's taking you so long, but I'm getting a little restless. I long to know the feeling of a kiss. It's the hardest thing to wonder what it feels like to press your lips against someone else's. I wonder what it's like to hold a hand. To walk into a room clutching his hand, letting everyone know he's yours. You're his.
    Every guy I've ever liked hasn't liked me back. Just once I want a guy that chooses me, that realizes that I'm special. That I have something to offer him, and the world. The guy that thinks I'm cute, and can't stop thinking about ME. I want to be his reason for facing another day, or for waking up in the morning. I know it's not too much to ask for. I know I deserve it. I know I'm not exactly pretty, and I'm not exactly skinny. But I DO know that I'm a good person, and everyone deserves to find love. So, to you... I'm still waiting for you. I know you're out there. You have to be. Once I find you, we can play with nerf guns. We can make a fort in my living room. We can have a snow ball fight. We can slide in the mud. We can have a water balloon fight. We can pretend to be secret agents, and watch Saturday morning cartoons.
    To all of you out there, this goes for you too. If you're having a little trouble... especially at night because that's when the thoughts come... they ARE out there. There's somebody out there, somebody somewhere, to show you the tenderness you need. Yes, that was a David Archuleta quote. What? You thought I'd leave his name out of this post? All I'm saying is, I know what it's like. When you get lonely, just remember. You're not alone in your loneliness. I promise you, they're out there. They're waiting for you. Never give up hope, and I won't either :)
    Love, me.

    P.S- I can't wait to meet you.

  • Halloween

    Hey there! I haven't updated in a while, so I figured I'd tell you a little bit about my Halloween. I really wanted to dress up this year, cause it's always so much fun. I also really wanted to because I thought of an awesome costume idea :) Wanna see? I'll show you my costume pictures, and just some other things I did during this time of year!






    I was a bag of leaves! :D I took some leaves and taped them ALL to this shirt that I made out of a garbage bag. Then I just had fake leaves made into a crown, and a necklace! I gave out candy and stuff, then later I hung out with my most of my best friends! We watched Freddy Vs. Jason and Carrie!
    I also made some Jack Skellington cupcakes a while ago to get in the Halloween spirit!

    Then I went to a bunch of Haunted Houses, including the Fright Fest at our theme park Darien Lake.

    They put "blood" in the fountain with "dead bodies!"

    I play in the leaves with my 4 year old niece while we're supposed to be on a walk :D


    My pumpkin was also a Pac Man themed pumpkin, but I unfortunately don't have a picture. So, what are some festive things that you've done lately? What were you for Halloween? Let me know! I'd love to hear about it!

  • Kentucky Fried Change.

    There are people in your life that can change the way you think forever.  You don’t always understand the point they have on your life, but they almost always have a reason for being there. I have had many people in my life that have made a difference in who I am today.  Someone who has hurt me in life, has taught me to stand up for myself and know who I am. I've learned not to let anyone take advantage of me, because it will make me incredibly unhappy.  Musical artists like Jason Mraz and David Archuleta have made an impact on my life, even if they don’t realize it. Their music has gotten me through times when I thought nothing could make me feel better.  Then there’s always my mother, who has protected me in times of trouble and made me feel safer than any other.  Some people’s names you have since forgotten, or maybe you never knew their names at all. I met a lady that changed my life. This will be about her. I don’t know her name.  I don’t know where she came from, or where she went; but I do know where she is taking me.

    My mother and I decided to get some dinner for my family. We decided to get some KFC because my brother needed mash potatoes and macaroni and cheese. He needed soft foods because he had just gotten his wisdom teeth out the day before. We left the house and headed for our candy apple red van. My van fits perfectly between the brightly colored leaves this time of year. We arrived and decided on what to order, then pulled up to the window slowly to wait for them to hand us our food.  As we were waiting my mother said, “Julia… where did she come from?”

    The car got quiet for a minute as I looked up in awe to see a lady standing there. She was a little plump, with light brown colored skin. She wore a baggy gray sweatshirt that seemed as if it hadn’t been washed for weeks. To accompany her sweatshirt, she wore gray sweatpants that seemed like they didn’t fit her as well as she would have liked. I looked down a tad to see that she was standing on top of rocks, with no shoes on. Her feet were dirty, and I’m guessing they were also sore. As I looked closer I realized she had some diamond earrings. I’m not sure if they were real or not, but they seemed as if they were her most prized possession either way. I still hadn’t said anything as the lady sneakily made her way to the dumpster area.

    At first I thought she was just finding a place to hide; a place to stay for a little while. She shut the doors to the secluded dumpster area very slowly, as she stuck her head out through to check for others. Soon we could see her rummaging through the dumpster, almost fully inside of it, searching for food. Finally I said, “Mom, we have to help her. We have to give her something; she has to be so hungry.”

    My mother then replied with “How about we give her the change from dinner? I have 5 dollars.”

    It turns out I also had 5 dollars in my pocket, so I pulled it out and handed it to my mother. Eventually we got our food, which now seems like it took forever to cook. We pulled away then pulled right up next to the dumpster area. I got out of the car and the lady seemed to have noticed. She came out from behind the gate right away. I’m still not sure if it was because she saw I was standing there with money, or because she thought she was going to be in trouble. She looked up at me with sincere eyes as I handed her the ten dollars. At that point I said, “Get some dinner please.”

    She replied with a weak smile on her face and said, “Thank you so much honey.”

     Her voice surprised me. It sounded so elegant, so beautiful. She was so genuinely thankful. I could tell at that moment that she wasn’t on drugs; she was just a person in need of some help. My eyes started to get watery as a smile slipped across my face. She took the money, and turned her head as tears came down her cheeks. I got back in the car, and didn't run around to see where she had gone. I'm not sure what she planned on doing with the money, how can we ever be sure? Still, at that moment I was sure that giving her that 10 dollars made me feel better inside. Maybe she had kids at home, maybe she went to buy a bottle of alcohol, maybe she went inside KFC to buy some chicken. That didn't matter. What I do know is that she showed me how blessed I am to simply be supplied with dinner for the night. She made me feel lucky just by having a pair of Converse on my feet. Although she may be grateful for coming across me that day, I am forever thankful for her.

    What do you think? Have you ever met a random stranger that made an impact on the way you think today? Take this time to thank them. Would you ever give a homeless or poor person money?
