Taylor Swift goes Pop



Taylor Swift's new song Shake it Off, is something new and different for her. It's a pop song, and though most of her previous songs were pop country, this is all pop. Some people I know said that they didn't like it, but I love it! It's very catchy and it has a good message - basically that she is who she is, and you can say what you want but she doesn't care, it's just going to roll right off her shoulder. You go Glen Coco!

"I stay out too late. Got nothing in my brain. That's what people say ... I just keep on cruising. Can't stop, won't stop moving. It's like I got this music in my mind singing it's gonna be alright."
 Oh, I just love it! It's a great, positive message. Don't care what people say. Just do your thing. Keep doing what you love.
"I never miss a beat. I'm lightning on my feet. And that's what they don't see ... I'm dancing on my own. I make the moves up as I go. And that's what they don't know."
Everyone always sees the bad stuff, never noticing the good stuff. The tabloids see her as how they want to see her, partier and dumb, but she's not. She's smart and talented. They just don't want to hear that about her. It's the same for everyone. You really shouldn't care what people say about you. Just do you. So what if you go out and party. So what if you don't have a boyfriend or go on a lot of dates. There's a lot more about you than that. You are smart. You are beautiful. You are talented. Just shake it off. Shake off all the haters and be you! Not only is it a great message, it has a great beat and just makes you want to get up and dance. To be honest, I was dancing in my car when I first heard it. It's very catchy, like a lot of her songs.

Most of TSwift's songs deal with relationships and heartbreak, which have actually helped me go through my own stuff... can you say "We are never, ever getting back together!" - I seriously would sing that at the top of my lungs. But this new song, is very refreshing. It's not about relationships so much as about herself, how she's going to keep doing what she's doing, she's going to keep dating and living her life and if you want to talk about it and her then go ahead. She'll keep on doing it, not for you, but for her. That's what I love about her. No matter what, she's always going to be herself and do what she loves - music and singing and living her life. Not to mention, to sing about your relationships and put it on the line yourself instead of the tabloids is very strong of her, makes for a great song too. But this song is different, and if you love TSwift, or even if you don't, it's going to make you want to dance and sing and shake it off!

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Last night I watched Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close , the 2011  film starring Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock and newcomer Thomas Horn. I knew the film was going to be about September 11th, but I was not expecting this - a 9 year old's journey through New York City to find the lock to a key left by his father who died in the World Trade Center, is what the previews said, but it was a lot more than that. It was a sons struggle to find himself and cope with the loss of his father in his own way. Not only does he meet many different people of different backgrounds, but along the way he realizes that his father left him one great life lesson and that he can make it on his own without him. It could have done with more mother-son time, because Sandra bullock is barely in the movie, but I think that was the point. The son didn't need his mother, though she was there, in the background. He knew she was there and so did the viewer, but not until the end. The major role definitely goes ...

Shadow of Night

So I finished the book Shadow of Night ...it was amazing! I can not wait until the third installment comes out and I hope that its soon. The character development of Matthew and Diana is great. Throughout the book they find out more about themselves and each other, even though they are decades in the past. Matthew, because he lived in that time period, has to revert back to his old ways and the reader can see how different was in the past compared to the present. When time traveling, you learn that you are not supposed to alter time. Matthew and Diana left an important mark on Elizabethan London and the rest of history. Historical figures come and go throughout the book, such as Christopher Marlowe, Walter Raleigh, Queen Elizabeth and a brief mention of William Shakespeare. Diana was there to learn more about her magic, but only developed her power towards the end when a surprising character appears and helps rid her of her fear of magic. There are plenty more characters in the book, ...

Witchy Tiaras

I'm almost done with Shadow of Night ...I won't give a run down of the book until I'm done, so instead I'm going to discuss a little show called Toddlers and Tiaras - some may be aware of this show as it has been on for a few years now on TLC. I watch this show on a regular basis - 1. Because I can't help watching a train wreck happen 2. Because there's nothing else on and reality tv can be pretty entertaining 3. I can't understand how some parents can put their children through something so grueling and cruel as a beauty pageant. Now, you may think that because I watch the show I condone this sort of behavior and in turn I am one of the many viewers that keep shows like this on tv. But, let me explain a little bit. My mind works in ways that make it attracted to things that I can not explain or understand - for example I'm fascinated by the Holocaust, beauty pageants and witches, vampires and werewolves (not the Twilight kind either). Beauty pageants ...
