Decided On A Title For This, I’m Calling It: Movie Talk……Yeah That Should Be Good!!

I’m not quite sure what it is that I want to title this post yet, but by the time you guys read this, i’m sure I would’ve come up with something. Alright so i’ll be honest, i’m a little lost on what to write today, I had something earlier and at first I thought it was starting out alright, but after a while of writing it…….I don’t know I wasn’t feeling it as much. What I was originally going to write first, was all about bad movies………well not to the extreme, I was gonna write how there’s two different kind of bad movies, you have the bad movies that you know are bad, but you still kinda enjoy in a way and then you have BAD movies to where, they just leave you completely disappointed after watching it.

With what I just said though, I was trying to explain how with me……….i’m not a super movie fanatic the way other people might be, so movies rarely leave me disappointed. It’s different with me, if I like a movie it will stick in my mind for a very good while and if I don’t, I just don’t watch it again, simple. The reasoning for why I wanted to talk about bad movies is because yesterday, I came across a video and it was a review on the Powerpuff girls movie, I don’t know if any of you know about the Powerpuff girls, but it was one of my favorite shows growing up as a kid and they made a movie about it.

Just to give you a quick synopsis on the whole thing, the movie is based around 3 girls named Blossom, Bubbles & Buttercup and they all have superpowers, now you might be asking “Why do they have superpowers or how did they get it!?” That I can tell you……….it all started in a laboratory, there’s this professor he goes by professor utonium (but he’s just referred to as professor in the show and movie) he goes and tries to create perfect little girls to pretty much have as his own, but before he created them, he had this monkey I guess as a pet or something.

Long story short, while the professor was creating the girls, you know adding sugar, spice and everything nice……..the monkey wasn’t happy because I guess it was feeling neglected and jealous, I can’t really remember everything about the movie because it’s been so long, but to sum up everything, the girls were mean’t to just be normal, but also not at the same time and well the reason for them having superpowers was because the monkey went crazy in the lab and started destroying everything and he made the professor accidentally drop this Chemical X into the mixture of where the girls were being created and that’s pretty much how the Powerpuff girls were born.

The whole point of me explaining that was because that’s how I came across the youtube channel, he was reviewing that movie, by the way the channel is called Channel Awesome, however the one reviewing the movie I just mentioned goes by the name of Nostalgia Critic and the way he does things is he just does what his name says, he reviews a movie (all the throwbacks mainly) and sometimes tv shows as well and criticizes them, saying whether he liked it or hated it. The good news is he actually didn’t mind that movie. The bad news is, the movies he did mind were movies I actually enjoyed as a kid and still enjoy on occasions, those movies are: The Cheetah Girls (the first one) Inspector Gadget: The Movie & Camp Rock 1 & 2.

Yeah he really hated those and what I was trying to get at before was that when it comes to movies, I don’t really hate the bad ones even if a lot of people see them as bad. I just watch them and if I don’t like it, I just move on and watch something else. I don’t really sit down to talk about what I didn’t like in a movie, because I don’t really know how to criticize movies anyway. I may be able to do it with music, well at least when it comes to my favorite artists, considering i’m more of a music person than I am of movies. So if I were to say I don’t like something, it would be more with music and other things of course than with movies, only because I feel I would do well in that department then in the movie genre scene, if you get what I mean!?

So that’s all I was trying to say in my other post that I haven’t finished, although I don’t really have to now, because I pretty much summed it all up here, I actually think a lot better than I did earlier………so yeah, I guess I ended up telling you about it anyway…….huh never mind. P.S. I know I may have sounded weird explaining the show well movie, but I promise this was a real thing, the Powerpuff Girls was awesome!!

Now Playing Ashley Tisdale, Song Of The Day/Night: Voices In My Head

Now before you ask, I just want to let you know that i’m actually having a pretty good night, although i’m super tired, but I needed to write a blog post because I didn’t yesterday, so if I have to stay up until midnight or even later I will, if it means posting something new, it’s only 11pm at the moment, but it is close to midnight and I normally try and fall asleep around that time so i’m hoping I don’t make this blog post a long one.

The reason for this title here, is because I just listened to Ashley Tisdale’s new single Voices In My Head and I loved it!! Now a lot of you might know of her and a lot of you might not, but that’s okay no worries, i’ll tell you a bit on her, like for one, she’s mainly known as an actress, you might’ve heard of the movie called High School Musical……yeah Ashley plays the character Sharpay Evans, she also starred in Suite Life Of Zack And Cody, she had her own spin off after High School Musical called Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure, so she’s pretty much apart of the Disney Channel circle, well she was.

She’s been in a whole lot of other movies, she also I believe directed and guested starred on a show called Young & Hungry, which i’ve watched, but haven’t finished watching so I have to catch up, even though I think the show finished already so I think I just have to watch it, but yeah Ashley’s known, but I don’t think she’s super big, but she’s known.

Anyway back to the song, which again is great, really great……..well to me anyway, I don’t know if you guys are gonna like it, but if you want to hear it, i’ve added it for you if you’re interested, I loved it though, had a big smile on my face while listening to it. I only heard it once, buuut once is enough to get me to like it and it’s Ashley of course i’m gonna love it!!! I’ve been waiting for new music from her for soooo long and finally she’s released a new single, how amazing is that!!? Okay caaaalm…….caaalm…….alrighty, okay.

Like I was saying, Ashley’s great and her voice is great as well, now her voice isn’t like everyone else’s, but I still find it to be very unique, it’s not like super powerful, but I find her voice is still very lovely. Now although a lot of people know her as more of an actress and of course a lot of people know that she has a voice on her because of High School Musical, what a lot of people don’t know is Ashley did and does music as well, besides her singing and starring in High School Music (1, 2 & 3) She actually had two pretty good albums (in my opinion).

Her first album being Headstrong, which is a classic and one of my favorite albums to go back and listen to, whenever I want to relive part of my young years (i’m not that old don’t worry, still young) I still have that album til this day actually (there’s a story on the first time I owned it, but I won’t bore you guys with that one…….I hope i’m not boring you guys now) Headstrong released back in 2007 and her other album Guilty Pleasure released back in 2009, was also pretty good. That album, i’d say was a little bit more on the mature side, more than headstrong was, but I liked that it didn’t go too overboard, however I still would say that it was mature for it’s time, just when it comes to certain songs, but it wasn’t like super bad on the mature scale, which is good.

Both albums we’re great, I loved them, like I said not only do I have Headstrong, but I also own Guilty Pleasure too, I was a pretty big fan of Ashley, not like super, but a big fan, you know sometimes you have those artists that you love and then you have your all times favorites. Ashley Tisdale is on my favorite artist lists, so there’s all time favorites, favorites, artists you like and then you have the “ahhh their alright” kinda artist. You know what i’m talking about…….and if you don’t, well then don’t mind me, i’m just in a really good mood and have this crazy amount of energy for some reason and decided to write my blog post for tonight all about Ashley Tisdale and you know what I don’t regret it, because this is actually the first blog post where I knew everything I was gonna write.

Probably my quickest one too, I started this close to 11:30pm and it’s around 12:30am midnight at the moment and that may seem like a long time to you guys to write on a post, buuut for me, it’s not, I normally take longer and that includes on shorter posts then this. I don’t really have much else to say, although it’s practically 1am……update it’s now around 1:30am as i’m finishing this so i’m just gonna leave this post here and get some sleep now………I hope you all have a great night/morning and or evening.

Now Playing PVRIS, Song Of The Day: Same Soul

Okay so, i’m not quite sure how long this post is gonna be, i’m hoping it’s not too long though, but we’ll see. I wasn’t quite sure what to write about today, I kinda sat looking at my computer and all around my room, trying to think and so I just went with whatever was in my head the most which so happened to be a song by one of my favorite bands, that I constantly mention I know, but for some reason I woke up with the song in my head so I thought let’s talk about the song and you know see what it’s about, shall we!?

So as you can see from the title the song that we will be touching upon today is called same soul and it’s by PVRIS (the band that never seems to leave my mouth, not that I mind, I don’t know if you guys do though…..hope not) anyway same soul I feel is a pretty self explanatory kind of song, however I also know that some people might have a different perspective as well as a different interpretation of the song which is cool because all songs with meaning always tend to leave you wondering what the song is about, especially when you have songs that are hard to get right away.

Here are the lyrics of the song Same Soul from the first verse to the chorus:

 [Verse 1]
Where does your body go when I leave you alone?
Would your heart know if I met you in a brand new set of bones?

‘Cause you may see me in different bodies
Hiding below with the same soul

[Pre-Chorus]
I could have walked by you a thousand times
Different places, different lives
I could have been someone you don’t recognize
Different figure, new design

[Chorus]
I’m just a body that you used to know
I’m just somebody that you used to know
I’m just a body that you used to know
Used to know, used to know, used to know

So as you can see, pretty self explanatory right!? Lynn Gunn the front singer of PVRIS talks about possibly meeting someone more than once to what we know, if that makes sense, just to explain it a bit more, in this she talks past lives pretty much. Now some may say that past lives isn’t really a thing, while others would most likely, maybe disagree, if you’re asking me whether I believe in the whole past lives topic, I would say that I wouldn’t completely rule it out. I mean don’t you guys ever wonder why sometimes we connect to people right away and why it is that some people we encounter can seem familiar to us!? It’s that feeling where you bump into someone and you just have this strange connection to right away, but you know even know each others names yet!?

In this song, I feel it relates to past lives, even Lynn herself talked upon past lives in a podcast. Having that thought and feeling as though you could have possibly met someone before, it really gets you thinking………a lot of us don’t really think on whether or not we had multiple lives before hand, apart from the one we are living now, I think that some of us or maybe even all of us had, however some of us can recall it very vividly then most of us, which is pretty interesting if you think about it.

Here’s the second verse and the pre chorus:

[Verse 2]
Where did your heart stay in all those years away?
Did I make your body shake?
Could you feel me riding through the airwaves?
In all those yesterdays were you always hiding below?
No, I didn’t know

[Pre-Chorus]
I think we’ve loved a thousand lives
I try to find you every time
Searching for those same wide eyes
That locked me in, in my first life
Do you remember my old names?
Recognize my other face?

This song definitely hints at being about past lives here, especially when she sings the lines of the pre-chorus, talking about loving the same person more than once and trying to recognize that person as they are now (I think we loved a thousand lives, I try to find you every time) she even sings the lines: Do you remember my old names!? Recognize my other face!? which to me SCREAMS THIS SONG IS ABOUT PAST LIVES…..ehm…sorry about that.

Now after looking at the lyrics again, I came to the thought, that maybe it’s not about past lives entirely, some parts could also be seen as maybe knowing someone from childhood, but then either you move away or they move away as kids and then one day you end up bumping into them again, but you don’t really quite recognize them at first, but once you really start to get to know them, that’s when it all comes back to you, you know them and are familiar with them because you use to be friends before.

You both see now though how much you as people, have changed since that time, so it’s kinda like you’re having a conversation with them, asking them whether they still remember that version of you, before you both grew up to be the new versions of who you are now, if that makes any sense at all, I really hope that did, I was trying so hard to word all that right as best as I could. Like I said earlier this song could be interpreted in a lot of different ways, but I feel this song is leading a whole lot toward it being about past lives, but that’s just my interpretation on it. I have no idea why I woke up to that song in my head, but hey it gave me the idea to write a blog post on this soooo, i’m happy.

Now I don’t know about you guys, but I actually felt this post to be a whole lot challenging to write about then my other posts. I didn’t think i’d ever come across the thought to write upon topics like this, although I always sometimes think about this topic and other topics of course, this is the first one to where I felt I wanted to put my thought on, but although it was challenging, I actually enjoyed writing about it because these are the kind of things that can get you really thinking, which is good if it’s stuff like this.

What was your most challenging blog post to write about, if you too had an experience like that and what’s your interpretation on the song that I just covered!? Do you believe in past lives, do you think that the only life we have is the one we’re living!? Feel free to share your thoughts if you like, I hope you all have a goodnight/morning and or evening.

If you guys are interested in hearing the song so that you can get a better interpretation on it or you just want to listen to it, you can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmweQs1-XH8

Happy Halloween Everyone!!

Okaaaay so this shouldn’t be a long post at all, I just wanted to share a little story that might be interesting, but might not be interesting as well to you guys. If you’re wondering what i’m talking about, i’m gonna explain now, sooo I went to share my latest blog post on my instagram earlier (the Halloween themed/Christmas movie one) it was fine, but what happened was I posted another post before it (the one before it was the video that I recorded the other day well last Friday) I didn’t realize that the sound wasn’t turned on and that I turned it off unknowingly, I thought it was only for the moment, so when I posted it no one could hear what I saying in the video.

Long story short I went to re-post that one and re share it onto my twitter and my other post (the halloween one) I also shared to my twitter and thinking I was deleting the video tweet one, I went back to my instagram and re posted that one and I went to look at my other post and when I looked at that post everything that I had wrote on the  caption……wasn’t there and I was like, wait what happened so I went back to my twitter and realized that I deleted the wrong tweet and yeaaah I wasn’t happy, because me deleting that tweet, pretty much deleted the post as well, but I shook it off and tried to re-post it again and guess what………SAME THING HAPPENED!!!

I mean the post was there for a bit and then after a little while, it just disappeared as if it didn’t want to be there or something and I didn’t even delete it. The first time okay I did, but that was because I had to re post it because the caption wasn’t there, so after dealing with that I pretty much just replaced the photo and wrote a whole new caption for it because I didn’t want to write the same caption a 3rd time, talk about it really being Halloween right!? In all fairness i’m not really quite sure what happened exactly and why my post just disappeared like that, that’s never happened before so it was a bit odd but yeah, I just wanted to share that because, I don’t know I thought it was super weird that, that happened not once, but TWICE.

I know that probably isn’t the most important thing or it might not even be weird to you guys…….buuuut to me, yeah super weird and I said to myself, first time really getting into the spirit of Halloween and that happens……..yeah i’m not posting anything on Halloween anymore, not because that freaked me out or anything…..okay maybe just a little, but also i’m not really a huge fan of it anyway………..You don’t have to say it by the way, i’m probably just over reacting and shouldn’t think of it has a huge deal, but i’ll still add it to the list of weird things that happened.

Do You Prefer Halloween Or Christmas Movies!?

Sooooo we all know that Halloween is tomorrow well in an hour or so, i’m sure a lot of you are excited and maybe some of you don’t really care, i’d consider myself in the “eeeeh i’m not really feeling this holiday” circle, but I know a lot of people embrace the spirit of halloween and everything. I haven’t participated in halloween for i’d say about 3 years now, the last time I did was back in 2015 and I was spending it with a friend, after that I just wasn’t super interested in halloween anymore, maybe i’ll get into again sometime later but for now, it’s not really my thing.

Since we’re on the topic of Halloween though, I know there’s a lot of things people look forward to when it comes the creepy scary holiday, some for the costumes, others for the candy and then you have those who don’t really care all that much for the holiday entirely, but just enjoy it because of the theme movies that come with it, which had me thinking, although I know Christmas isn’t for 2 more months, well considering that November is almost here, technically, it isn’t for another month, but even though we still have a few months or a month to go, i’m curious to know……….do you guys prefer Halloween movies oooor do you like the Christmas themed ones instead!?

I know some like the creepy scary kind and others prefer the warm and cozy feeling that the Christmas ones bring. Now if you were to ask me which ones I prefer, i’m not sure if i’d be able to really say, I don’t really watch a lot Halloween movies, so maybe Christmas movies, although I don’t watch a lot of them either, i’m more on the I prefer Christmas songs the most, I just like music, but we’re talking movies so I won’t talk too much on music here.

If I had to pick, I would saaaay……..probably Christmas movies, only because I tend to come across them the most when Christmas comes around, however I do like a few Halloween themed movies, well just not the horror kind, you know the super scary ones. I’m talking Nightmare Before Christmas kind of movies………..you know what i’ll just list a few for you guys, if I had to pick Halloween themed movies i’d go for:

(These won’t be in any specific order or anything)

  1. The Nightmare Before Christmas
  2. Hocus Pocus
  3. Halloween Town
  4. Twitches (one and two)
  5. Corpse Bride
  6. Monster House

and I don’t know if this is considered a Halloween movie, but i’d also watch Coraline, even though the first time I watched it, I had a nightmare that same night……..okay it wasn’t a huge nightmare, I just dreamt of having buttons for eyes which is very creepy if you think about it……….like seriously imagine having buttons for eyes!? Yeah no thank you.

Back to the blog post though, I also found myself enjoying the 90’s scary kids show Are You Afraid Of The Dark!? which was surprising to me by the way, because I didn’t think I would. I also enjoyed the show Sleepy Hollow, not a 90’s kids show of course, I just loved the show, weeell at least season 1 & 2, there was 4, but season 3 I try to forget and 4 I didn’t watch, they ruined a good chemistry between two great actors that’s all i’m gonna say with that show, but yeah……….so those are just a few of my favorite Halloween movies and some tv shows as well.

I know I also talked about Christmas movies, i’ve watched a lot, but the one that I watch the most when it comes on is the Grinch That Stole Christmas. I could list more, but I wanted to keep things Halloween based, even though i’m not the biggest fan of Halloween, it only seems right to do it that way so yeah. When we get close to Christmas though i’ll make another list, but with just Christmas movies aaaand maybe some of my favorite Christmas songs who knows (I might)

Anyway that’s all from me, let me know whether you prefer Christmas movies or Halloween based movies and with all that I hope you all have a goodnight/morning and or evening.

All Things Random

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well, this shouldn’t be a very long blog post, but we’ll see. I just wanted to tell you guys about a video that I just uploaded onto my Youtube channel, i’ve been thinking on this idea for some time and after giving it a good amount of thought, I decided to go for it and see what I can do with it.

You might be a little confused about the title of this blog post, but it’s actually the name of the video. So just to explain it a bit, I came up with this idea of talking about different topics but in one video, I got the idea and was inspired by one of my favorite Youtubers by the name of Lucy Moon, i’ve spoken about her on here before, can’t remember which blog post I mentioned her in though, but anyway ummm she (not sure if she still does) but she has these videos where she sits and talks about whatever it is that she’s feeling or whatever topics that she wants to talk about and I use to sit there and watch them and I  really enjoyed the way you know where it felt like you were just having a one on one conversation with someone except you’re talking into camera or just listening to the person speak.

Every time I would watch it, I would get inspired to do something like that myself, now I had this idea for a good while, but I never quite went forth with it, until I started listening to this podcast, now i’ve been thinking of trying out podcasting, but as I looked into it, I realize it’s a lot of work, so I thought maybe I should come back to it and you know just until i’m feeling a lot more confident in myself to want to move over to that side of town, in the meantime though, I can make videos talking about whatever it is I want to discuss you know, plus I felt it made sense to try it out that way first considering I have a Youtube Channel and all, I hope i’m making sense here.

I’ll try and explain this next part better, so just to give you guys a little heads up on what the videos will be about, there’s not really much to explain really, all it is, is instead of just picking one topic to talk about for a video, I chose to talk about 3 different topics and make the video kinda like a podcast, buut not a podcast, it’s not a podcast really, although i’m trying to have it to where it’s close to one, but I still obviously have to work on that of course, so yeah that’s pretty much all it is, nothing too extravagant, you know, I just wanted to share that with you guys, when I finally decided on going forth with the idea I had in mind, I was super nervous, I recored the first part 3 times, the 3rd time was the final one, the other 2 attempts yeaaah……..didn’t go that well, well i’m sure they would’ve been fine if I just looked at them and picked up where I left off, you’ll probably remember me talking about them in these posts here: So That Went Well…….Camera’s…….. & Just One Of Those Days

So yeah, I don’t really know what else to saaay………except for if you would like to watch the video, it’s on my blog, if you don’t want to scroll that far though, i’ll leave it here for you guys: All Things Random in the first video I talk about: Dealing With Funks as well as Confidence and some other stuff too, two topics I actually wrote blog posts for, you guys might remember them or you might not I don’t know…….ummmm but yeah, that’s all I really want to say. I was super nervous uploading as well as recording it, but was a little excited as well, it’s a new thing that I wanted to try and so I hope it’s okay, it’s the first one so it’s not super perfect, but editing it and watching it over a lot, I feel it’s pretty alright. I also thought it was a good idea to do videos like that because I could pick topics from here if I wanted to and share and talk about them on my channel as well, so yeah.

Again if you guys are interested in checking out the video, it’s there for you guys, you don’t have to, but if you do end up watching it, thank you in advance and it means a whole lot. Anyway, I won’t make this blog post too long, so I hope you all have a goodnight/morning and or evening.

Let’s Talk Video Games: Bendy And The Ink Machine

So i’ve been sitting here, really trying to figure out what it was that I wanted to write about today, no kidding, I literally was going back and forth in my head saying to myself “I don’t know what to write about” I tried coming up with something, I even tried to find some kind of inspiration of some sort, but sometimes it ain’t always easy. I watched a few videos, one of them made me laugh so hard, I went back to the part just to hear it again, ummmm, but yeah…….after I watched that video, I still had trouble figuring out what it was that I wanted to write about.

I thought to myself, “okay let’s see what we can think of” I thought and thought and tried to come up with something, then I had a little idea and said to myself…….”Weeeell Halloween is almost here so maybe we can think of a theme post for it, but I didn’t want to just do one post on Halloween because I also thought that if i’m gonna talk about Halloween I would rather do it on the day of, just to keep the theme, soooo instead of talking about Halloween as a whole, I thought maybe we can talk horror games kinda. Now before we talk horror games, I just want to let you know i’m not a huge fan of them, surprising I know, you’re probably thinking “Why talk horror games then, if you don’t like horror things!?” Okay yeah, you have a point with that question if you’re asking it, i’ll try and explain.

Okay so YEAH i’m not really fond of anything scary, it’s just not my thing, buuut sometimes there’s an exception to things, like for example when a game is played by one of my favorite Youtubers. Sometimes things or in this case a video game catches your attention and although you know it’s gonna be creepy and you’re gonna be scared while watching it……….you still end watching it anyway because……..well…..it looks pretty interesting so why not!? Now the game that i’ll be touching up upon is called Bendy and The Ink Machine, now i’m not sure if you heard of it or not, but for those who have, for most people it’s probably not that scary, but we all know that some people are different so to those people it might be.

Now there’s a lot of Youtubers who play video games and i’m sure that a lot of them also played Bendy and The Ink Machine, but the Youtuber I prefer to watch goes by the name of Jacksepticeye, I watch a lot of his videos and I have a few that are my favorite, but today we’ll just discuss Bendy. I actually finished watching the last part to that game yesterday and it was pretty interesting, yeah sure there was a lot of stuff that startled me…..okay not startled, but you know like where I jumped, which I don’t like doing mind you, but don’t worry I was cool as cool can be…….okay maybe less then that.

Anytime I watch Jack play a game that isn’t normally what i’d watch, especially when it’s in the horror category, I always react to everything he does in those games when he plays them, which i’m sure a lot of people do with their favorite Youtubers as well. Even though I do get startled, I seem to somehow enjoy them still, depending on what the game is though and Bendy and The Ink Machine is one of those games, that I enjoyed. It’s very interesting and it’s also a very great game to play or in my case just watch………pfff I wouldn’t dare buy a game that would scare me, i’d watch it though, but I wouldn’t play it myself. Now for some of you who don’t know, Bendy and The Ink Machine is a game that………I don’t really know how to explain it, but i’ll do my best.

Okay so you play as this character name Henry (don’t know his last name) but you play as Henry and you aren’t quite sure why, but you end up in this very old animation studio, where of course you draw and create animations. Now if you ever played or watched someone else play it, you’ll learn that Henry the character use to be one of the animators for the animation studio, you also find that the studio isn’t quite like you remember……….and everyone who use to work there as well, have now been turned into these creepy ink people, well more like creatures, your job in the game is to find something even though you’re not sure what it is you’re meant to find, you also need to survive in the game of course.

In the beginning you don’t even know why you’re there, but for some reason you’re supposed to be there, i’m not gonna spoil it for you, because maybe you’re playing it, but haven’t finished it or you’re thinking of watching it and don’t want to be told on more of what it’s like, I don’t know…….but I will say this because it’s pretty much what you’re gonna be doing or watching in the game, you of course will come face to face with a whoooole lot of ink people which i’m telling you are super creepy, also there’s this cardboard Bendy that is very creepy to look at every time you come across it, like super creepy the smile, just everything……….oh people love pointing out how is eyes look like pac man, which they do actually, very much so.

The whole game is in black and white with a splash of the sepia effect, hopefully i’m not confusing you guys……….the game is pretty much on the old timey scale, so like the very old fashion kind of animations. It’s a great game though, even though it’s creepy and I did get scared a couple times while watching it, I still also enjoyed it, the art style of it is great, the fan art that was created in the game is incredible, very talented people, the music is super creepy, which is saying a lot because it’s meant to be a creepy game, but yeah just everything in that game, was very enjoyable, i’d watch it again…….maybe who knows.

Yeah soooo, that’s pretty much it, oh also the Youtuber Jacksepeticeye the one I talked about, he’s in it, but as one of the voice over tape recorder voices……you’ll know what i’m talking about if you’ve watched or played the game. His name is Finn in the game so if you happen to play or watch someone else play, keep a look out, I hope you enjoyed reading this, I know that it’s a long one, but I still hope that you enjoyed it, I didn’t want to not write anything today and even though I had a hard time figuring out what to write, i’m glad that this came up as an idea, anyway I hope you all have a great night/morning and or evening.

If you’re interested in checking out the game as well as Jacksepticeye’s channel here’s a playlist of the game created by Jack himself: Bendy and The Ink Machine

Can’t Get You Out Of My Head (Title Inspired By A Song)

What’s going on in my head you ask!? Nothing much just random tunes playing causing me to sing them out loud, you know stuff like that, we all get that, you know you’re just minding your own business, just doing your best to be as productive as you can and then out of nowhere you’re singing a tune!? Not quite sure where it came from or why that song you’re singing is in your head, but it is and now you’re stuck singing it every few minutes. I know that this is a very random topic, but it was the only topic I could think of, plus I wasn’t sure what else to write about, sooo I chose this to be my blog post for today.

Sometimes you need a little bit of random in your life and lucky for you guys, I can bring a whole lot of random to you, whenever i’m feeling it and today is one of those days, this won’t be a long post I promise, I just wanted to share with you all, the few songs that have been playing in my brain today so I hope you don’t mind me sharing, but anyway let’s get to it shall we!? First let me tell you what band started off…..so yeah, i’m kinda in a debate state of mind with myself trying to figure out what band started it, I feel it was the band PVRIS I told you about, but then another part of me is saying that it was Fall Out Boy, so we’ll just say although I love PVRIS………I’m gonna go with Fall Out Boy, because I had one of their songs in my head the most, plus I think it might’ve been the podcast I listened to earlier that was based around them that kicked started it, soooo yeaaah.

Anyway here are the top songs that we’re stuck in my head today :

  1. Sugar We’re Goin Down & Thnks Fr Th Mmrs By Fall Out Boy
  2. St Patrick By PVRIS
  3. Dirt Road Anthem By Jason Aldean

 

Those we’re the top songs that we’re in my head today, not sure why either of them came to mind, but they did. The one song I was most shocked about me randomly singing though was Jason Aldean’s Dirt Road Anthem, the only reason I was shocked about it was because I hadn’t heard that song in ages, plus I didn’t know if I’d still know it, buut I did which was weird. Sometimes it’s like that where, you think you won’t remember a song especially when you haven’t heard it in a very long time and when you do remember it, it can be very surprising, but yeah that’s pretty much all I wanted to talk about really, if you want to listen to the songs i’ve mentioned, I left the links to them on top for you guys.

Feel free to share if you also had a song or 2 or 3 even which ever, stuck in your brain today or let me know what song constantly enters your mind and just sticks with you like glue on your hands, you know what i’m talking about, no matter how much you try to avoid becoming sticky from that glue, it’ll just always end up happening anyway, it’s like a magnet, but not a magnet. Anyway that is all I have for now, but I hope you all have a goodnight/morning and or evening.

 

All The Love ❤ ❤

So That Went Well…….Camera’s……..

I know you’re probably confused to what i’m talking about, but don’t worry i’ll explain in a second, before I do though, I just wanted to let you know that this blog post isn’t gonna be a long one, well at least it shouldn’t be a long one. Anyway let’s move on to the post shall we!? Okay so for those who end up reading this, today I tried to record a video and normally I would record on my phone camera, but I don’t have anymore space on it sooooo, there’s that, but also I wanted to see what it would be like to use my camera since 1. It has more space, 2. I thought it’d be easier to use and 3. I just thought it made sense to use it, you know!?

So I decided to record a video after a very long time of not recording, I made sure to write down what it was I was going to be talking about in it, well just the topics I wanted to discuss that is. I then set up my tripod that I recently got for my camera and i’m just gonna say it, i’m not gonna pretend that I wasn’t…….I was super nervous recording again and when I get nervous and realize i’m about to do something after a very long time or if i’m just doing something for the first time, I laugh……nervously of course……..I also talk to myself out loud expressing how I can’t believe i’m doing this or about how super nervous I am.

Long story short, I set up my tripod, although at first I had no idea what I was doing, it took me a bit to set it up until I then came to the thought of “hmmmm maybe I should read the instructions” you know, make sure i’m doing things right. So I checked the instructions and after looking them over, I ended up getting the hang of it, I attached my camera to the tripod, I then had to make sure everything was aligned right, well at least in a way that was good enough for me and after doing that for a good while, I then hit record. Again super nervous, so my words were just all over the place, I was going off topic, because that’s my specialty and all……..but yeah so, I was recording and in the beginning of me recording I went to check to see if everything was okay and if it was still recording (it was)

I was only 13 minutes into the video from the last time I checked and sigh…………this is the part where a small amount of frustration kicks in………I guess you could say it was my need to constantly talk to where, I forgot to check to see if it was still recording because while I was still talking I heard this noise and was like……..”Wait what happened!?” went over to my camera aaaaand………yeah you probably could guess what happened……..it stopped………I was in the middle of talking and it had stopped recording………which meeeeans……….I gotta do it all over agaaain, yaaaaaaay………it was great, so wonderful……..loved it!!

Haha no, but in all seriousness, it was kinda my fault……okay it was my fault, I should’ve stopped after a few minutes of talking just to check the camera and see if it was still recording. You should’ve seen me though, I was soooo peeved off that, that had happened………I tried to record again, buuuut my battery camera, no kidding (I actually said that as I was typing though, so I wanted to add that in here just for fun…….yeah…..) anyway my camera battery, was running low so I had to put it to charge, it’s charged now, but i’m just gonna start off fresh tomorrow and see if I can get it right then, sigh……..I mean in all fairness maybe that happening was just to get my nerves out, I don’t know, but…….it’s okay, it’s cool, we’ll just start again and do it over tomorrow, no worries.

That was just a little behind the scenes story, I thought, what better thing to write about then that happening, hopefully you all enjoyed it, seee told ya this wouldn’t be that long, anyway hope you all have a great night/morning and or evening.

 

All The Love ❤ ❤

Note to self check the camera every few minutes, BEFORE you continue to go on and on……

Answering My Own Questions To My Last Post (Asked By JanBeek)

So I wrote a blog post the other day asking some random questions just to kinda get to know you guys a bit, see what kind of stuff you guys wanted to share. Now i’ll be honest didn’t quite get a lot of sharing happening, which I kinda expected to happen, but that’s okay. I did get one comment however, which was very nice, I was super happy that someone took the time to share their thoughts and answer the questions I left.

The comment that I got was from a very nice lady by the name of Jan Beek, she’s also a writer, I learned some pretty nice stuff from reading her comment, I learned that she use to be a clarinetist and about her love for classical music which was very nice to learn, because I too enjoy classical music from time to time. I also learned of a new artist name Jimmy Dorsey, I wasn’t sure whether i’ve heard of him or not so I went and looked him up and found out he was an American clarinetist back in the 1950’s, pretty cool right!? I thought it was cool.

There was a lot of other stuff I learned, like how she writes better by listening to the sound of her cuckoo clock, she explained how the rhythm of the clock helps her more with her writing which was very different, but also very interesting. I learned about her ideal workspace, what her muse is, uhhh, she talked about how she always wanted to have her own all-girl group back in the day, because with the band that she liked listening to, it was an all male group, there was a lot, it was very fascinating and I really enjoyed learning about her.

After she gave her answers, she then asked me what my answers were to my own questions, so I thought i’d share my answers as a post and give credit to her for the idea while also sharing a bit of her story with you guys. She’s a very lovely lady, but anyway let’s move on to my answers…….i’m not sure how this is gonna go, but we’ll soon see.

Okay here we go (I copied my questions here so I could answer them properly):

Question #1: For those who write, do you listen to music while your writing!? If so what’s your go to playlist or artist that you enjoy listening to, if you don’t listen to music are there any other things you like to have as background noise or do you just enjoy no background noise at all when you write!?

I do listen to music when I write, not always though, i’d say most times maybe…….sometimes though I won’t even have music playing in the background, i’ll just write in complete silence, while listening to my own voice as i’m typing what I want to say. I feel it helps when i’m saying what i’m writing out loud, because then i’m able to get everything out to where it makes sense you know!?

My go to playlist for when I write, is actually a playlist I mention before called Jukebox Typewriter…….I haven’t listened to it in a while though, lately i’ve been listening to one of my favorite bands that I also mentioned PVRIS, ummm i’ve written to their songs before, I just listen to anything that gets me into the mood of writing really.

Question #2: If you were in a band, what would you name your band, what would the genre of your music be and if you had to pick anyone (favorite artist, friends ect…) to be in it, who would you chose and what instruments would you have them play!?

Okay I might’ve reached the hardest question that I asked you guys……*takes a deep breath and then releases* Alright here we go……if I had a band what would I name it!? It’s funny I use to always think about this when I was younger, uhhh…….gee I don’t know……..I think if I were to have a band, i’d probably name it something random, you know to kinda go with my personality (hmmm actually that’s not a bad name) if I ever go making a band though, i’ll let you guys know what i’ve named it haha.

What would the genre be!? I feel with me as a person, i’d probably would go with like a mixture of pop, but with the feel of country music added to it or some kind of sound that fits more with me. I love and enjoy music so much, I always do my best to give everything a chance, but i’ve always been drawn to meaningful kind of music, I love songs with meaning and to where I can relate to the lyrics, however if I like the feel to a song and I feel it’s the right kind of catchy to me, I can jam with it too.

When it comes to the people I would have in my band and the instruments they’d play!?i’m not sure, whoever wanted to join in and be apart of it would be great and whatever instrument they choose to play would be up to them, however I wouldn’t mind having a piano player and a person who plays the guitar (preferably acoustic) because those are my two favorite kind of instruments to listen to, there’s just something about them.

Question #3: If you had to create the perfect (in your book) workspace whether you’re a writer, artist (musician, drawer, painter ect…) maybe you want a space just for reading, how would you create that space!?

If I was writing and I had to make up my ideal workspace I would like it to have a cozy feel to it, you know a place where I could not only write, but also escape to if I needed to de stress or relax a bit. Maybe also have a nice view to something, like a wide backyard or just something that when I look at it, I feel calm. I’d also go with a space where I could hang some paintings or posters, as well as have spaces for books while listening to my favorite kind of music and have it be a place where I could get lost in for a while.

Question #4: If you had a muse to write about (it doesn’t have to be writing, it can be anything) What would it be and how would you describe it!? 

Okay remember when I said the band one was hard, yeeeeeah I think this one might top it………if I had a muse to write about, it would be between maybe music and the feeling of it or maybe about love. I’ve had a few muses before, to where I was inspired to write about them, but if I had to pick a muse…….hmmmm…….I feel it would all be based on how i’m feeling in the moment, It could be about love, music, a favorite artist of mine, anything that resonates with me in the moment, so a bit of everything i’d say, I hope that makes sense.

Question #5: If someone came to you and said “Hey I need some advice” what kind of advice do you think they’d ask for knowing your own personality and how would you give them that advice!?

Last question okay here we go……..

I give a lot of advice, so if someone were to say “hey could you give me some advice” knowing how I am, I probably would give them advice on topics like……..Progress and growing, learning to believe in yourself as well as taking care of yourself when you need to, just you know, life stuff I guess. I’m not the best advice giver, but I always try my best to give the best advice that I can.

Which is weird because i’m still learning things as i’m going along and sometimes with advice you can give it to someone, but not really take it in yourself. There’s a saying that goes “You should take your own advice” when it comes to taking in your own advice, that can be hard, because it’s like some of us are able to give advice easily to people, but when it comes to taking it in yourself it’s different for some reason.

I guess when you give the advice, it may reach the person you’re telling, but that advice might come back to you a little later for you to take in. it’s hard to wrap your head around, but it’s how it is sometimes. Going back to the part though where I ask how would I give that advice, I’d just do my best to help whoever i’m giving advice to on whatever the topic happens to be about. I think it’ll always just be about doing your best and doing all you can to make sure you’re happy and going with what fits you, i’m still learning to take my own advice and everything, i’m not perfect, no ones perfect really, but I do try and that’s all I can really do.

I hope all of this was okay JanBeek and to everyone else reading this, if anyone else want to answer the questions I have, it’s there, but a big thank you to Jan for sharing her answers with me and being the inspiration or muse to today’s blog post, it really means a lot so thank you again. She has a blog site if you want to check her out, you should, she’s lovely, you can find her site here: Show Jan Some Love and Support!!

Anyway, I hope you all have a great night/morning and or evening ^_^

 

All The Love ❤ ❤
