Don’t Threaten Me with a Good Time… Panic at the Disco

With the exciting news of Brendon Urie’s new album, this song is definitely a go-to song for me right now. (BTW…His video of Say Amen, Saturday Night was a freakin’ awesome video.) I love the way Brendon can slay the art of crossing genres with his music and this song gets the heart pumping with his crazy beat. It makes me want to jump on my bed and dance my heart out!

Miranda Manchester, a rebellious but inexperienced 19 year old from a small town has three months to prove to her parents that she’s adult enough and deserving of her college fund.  When she goes head to head with a sexy but arrogant son of a multi-million dollar musician and loses she finds herself owing a debt that may take a lifetime to pay.

Marc Jacobs, a bored and depressed 23 year old lives the kind of lifestyle everyone dreams of but is secretly contemplating suicide. When an interesting poker game turns his world upside down, he embarks on a journey of crazy possibilities,  one which could cost him more than just his life.

I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about the goals I want for 2018. I’ve confirmed the spaghetti plate of chaos because my goals are all over the place.

Health: I definitely need to focus on my physical health. In 2017 I found myself turning away from most meat and think I’ll continue this track for 2018. I’m not going vegetarian but I’d say mostly veggies and fruits for me is the best route and my body seems to agree. Planet fitness will continue to get my money in 2018. I just need to commit to making a bigger effort of showing my face there. Continue reading →

Good Morning! Time again to see what’s on my playlist today.

1 The Logical Song by Supertramp

When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well, they’d be singing so happily
So joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me

Does anyone not have Supertramp on their playlist? Really? It’s okay. We can still be friends.

Havana by Camila Cabello

He didn’t walk up with that “how you doin’?” (uh)
(When he came in the room)
He said there’s a lot of girls I can do with (uh)
(But I can’t without you)
I’m doin’ forever in a minute (hey)
(That summer night in June)

This song is just chill and makes me want to sway and dip and parts of my body just start moving, tapping, bobbing, and…well, you get the jist of it.

3 The Middle by Jimmy Eat World

Hey
Don’t write yourself off yet
It’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don’t you worry what they tell themselves when you’re away

It just takes some time
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right

This is one of my all time favs to listen to. I don’t go out of my way to choose the song but I never fast forward or skip over it when it does play. It’s good motivation, empowering, encouraging…everything will be all right, damn it. Okay???

What’s on my playlist today peeps?

1 That’s Not my Name by The Ting Tings

Four letter word just to get me along
It’s a difficulty and I’m biting on my tongue
And I I keep stalling, keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now
Holding back, everyday the same
Don’t wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider they forget my name (ame, ame, ame)

If you haven’t heard this song…go. Now. I’ll wait until you listen to it. 🙂 OMG, this song is so freakin’ cool. I don’t know why I like it so much. I just do.

2 Strip That Down by Liam Payne

This song proves that I do find the time sometimes to update my music sometimes. It’s not to old a song. I don’t know what it is about songs that have snapping in them, I just tend to dig them.

3 I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry

Perry was born as Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson on October 25, 1984. Perry is the first female artist to get five hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in one year. Kesha was in this song’s video.

Here’s another round of what’s playing on my iphone today.

1 Stitches by Shawn Mendez

You watch me bleed until I can’t breathe
I’m shaking falling onto my knees
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches
I’m tripping over myself
Aching begging you to come help
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches

So, I’m not a huge fan of Mendez but this song is pretty cool. It’s catchy, even if it is cliché.

2 You Don’t Own Me by Grace featuring G-Eazy

You don’t own me
Don’t try to change me in any way
You don’t own me
Don’t tie me down ’cause I’d never stay

The original is excellent. Grace and G-Eazy just bring it to a whole new level. I love her voice. I crank this song up when in the car. Sometimes I even put it on repeat. It’s just that good.

3 Just Like Me by New Politics

You say you want to save the world
(just like me)
You want to find the perfect girl
(just like me)
You want to drive a fancy car
(just like me)
You want to be a rock star
Just like me

So…sometimes I just want to turn the music up, crank up my bass, and rock! And this song is one of those songs you can do that with. It’s easy to understand the lyrics and even easier to bang your head to the intense sounds.

Well, that’s it for today. Any good music suggestions?

Cheers!

We toured campuses, cottages, and schools which allowed me to learn more about the other programs within Youth Villages beyond the Intercept program which I am a part of. It was awesome. Part one of the conference opened with some great music and our keynote speaker Kevin Carroll. Looking forward to doing some shopping and later this evening some karaoke and dancing!
