So I went to Fredricksburg yesterday to visit some friends from school and they have so many shopping centers, it is outrageous. I don't know what some of my other friends who go to Mary Washington were saying when they had nothing to do. Anyway, I was very intrigued the whole time and enjoyed my trip. When down there, I went to see "Grown Ups" the new comedy featuring Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Kevin James. Now, I thought this was going to be hilarious, I mean here are five great comedians who have different styles which gives this group great dynamics. However, while I laughed, some of the laughter was forced and I found that parts that meant to be funny well...weren't funny at all. Don't get me wrong, it was an okay movie, but not as epic as me and I'm sure others expected it to be. I don't want to ruin the movie for anyone, so I would recommend that you see it, but don't expect to laugh as hard as you thought you would. Also, some might say it is because I am not a "grown up" myself and did not understand the comedy of it, but trust me, its not that complicated. Although this was a little wary for me, I still love all who was in it, even the random people in it, like Maya Rudolph.

LOL: The Critics Hate "Grown Ups"

On another note, in my quest for song covers, it came to my attention that there are some covers of "Womanizer" by Britney Spears. Here is the original and some covers to compare with:

Britney's Original



Lily Allen



Franz Ferdinand



Venetian Princess



All-American Rejects



LOL to all of these. Also, if you are wondering who that super attractive guy in Britney's version is Brandon Stoughton, of course I looked him up. Also, I'm not sure which one was my favorite but let me know if you have one!

I'll Be Gone

How many covers can there be of "Take on Me" originally by A-ha. Well here are some I found:

Sara Bareilles


Reel Big Fish


Northern Kings


Emil Bulls


Family Guy


The Jonas Brothers version was just too hard to listen to...man, it was bad. This coming from a person who does not hate the Jonas Brothers. Also my favorite has to be Northern Kings, because it is just a huge LOL.

You Were A Child

Yesterday, being the nervous wreck I am about the future, I decided to look up grad schools...even though I have yet to even start my third semester at the University. I just have that anxiety, which I imagine most people my age have. That anxiety where you do not know whether your plans will really work out and you find that you might be a failure. The time has come where if you say that you are a college graduate, it does not mean shit. You need the extra spice, the numerous contacts, the secrets, the well...everything. Maybe I am reading way too in my future...or maybe I am in the right state of mind, considering that in this world, there is no room for slowing down; what a sad fact.

Anyway, so I was looking for graduate schools and I found that you have to know foreign languages...does this mean I should take some languages in undergrad? I mean I guess I have Spanish in the bag, but the descriptions made it seem as if I need to know more than one...well, whatever I guess I will worry about it later.

So, all this talk about the future took me to the good 'ol days when kids used to say the priceless line, "When I grow up I want to be..." I was reminded of this during a conversation with my mother. It goes a little something like this:

Me: When I grow up, I want a boat.
Mom: *Gives weird look* When you grow up?
Me (to myself): I can still say that right? I mean I'm technically not a grown up.

I tried to think of what I said when I was little in response to what I wanted to be when I grow up.

1. A gymnast

• I am so far from that career right now, it is not even funny. Actually its hilarious. Anyway I remember always wanting to be one, but never being enrolled into a gymnastics class as a child. Also that was a silly dream, I think I read too deep into the Olympics.

2. A figure skater

• Also far from this dream and terribly clumsy on ice.

3. A singer

• Now this is something I could possibly see happening. I mean now and days you just upload a couple of vids to YouTube and you are set. Justin Bieber anyone?

Other than those three, I really cannot remember the others. Now its your turn...when you were little, what did you want to be?

Also a little reminder of what the future can hold for us:

Just listen to the song, rather than watch the actual vid. They aren't the same song in theory.

Do it.

Watch and Turn

So, recently...I mean yesterday, I watched "The Breakfast Club" which personally, I think is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Okay, so it is a part of the "Brat Pack" movies and it was not originally geared towards my generation, but it had this weird effect on me. Everyone always comes to that crossroads in their life when they try so hard to act like their problems are different from others, but in reality, they realize that they are just like everybody else despite circumstances. Now, if you have not seen this movie, you really need to. It is a landmark movie in everybody's young life. I might be in college, but it applied to me as much as it would apply to a high schooler, maybe even more. I don't want to be the super insightful youngen, but I mean shoot, when something like this happens tou need to talk about it.

Anyway, so how cool would it be if "The Breakfast Club" was a play. Now, I looked it up and there are some...but whatever there can be better.

Thank you John Hughes for inspiring a generation.

P.S. My fave character is John Bender...by far.

So it is finally June, which means there are two and a half months until I am back at school. While that seems long, it could pass by just in a flash. That idea is both depressing and exhilarating, because while I sometimes hate classes, I do enjoy the UVA lifestyle. But now, I should just focus on my adventure of getting mula to cover my ass this summer and this upcoming fall.

Anyway, today I took a trip down memory lane--I visited my old high school, Herndon. It was a bittersweet reunion, considering that my favorite teacher was not there, but I did find out that I will indeed have a horn over the summer! I do not think people understand how excited I am about playing the horn again! It has literally been a year and I cannot keep going on in life with out the sweet sounds of a French horn. I mean, in theory I could go on, but in real life I could not.

I do not have much to post on today, there are not any funerals to protest, I have not looked up anything I have wanted....yet, and honestly, my life has been pretty lackluster in the past day, other than my horn news. Other than that, I fully understand how great it is not to be in high school anymore and how sometimes, rules are such bullshit.

Well, I kind of do have a wish to end this post with. Could someone help me meet the Strokes. That would be prime. Do it.
