Live and Learn

So, today, I finally had the chance to hook up my external hard drive to the laptop I'm borrowing.  I was so happy to have my 10 thousand songs back at my finger tips and have basically spent many hours today tweaking, adding, deleting and creating new playlists.  I've had to create my third "favourites" playlist and it's already over 30 songs strong and different from my earlier "editions" (possibly because of a different place I'm at in my life - ooh, deep).  My favourite songs (hip hop, rap and some pop aside) usually have sad undertones and are songs I can usually sing along to.  I'm sure I've mentioned it, but I'm totally that girl you see at a stop light or driving by that is full out singing at the top of her lungs, emotion apparent on her face because she's giving it her all.  Yep, that's me.  And during the summer, it's me with sunglasses over my glasses because it's so bright.  I'm sure it's an absolute sight to behold, but for those of you who have not yet seen it (or participated in it with me), you're welcome for the mental image.  I'm also a car dancer too.  Adds to the fun!


Current song playing on my Favourites Ed. 3:

Love, love and then some more!

Can we just talk about Justin Timberlake at the VMAs for a moment?  As I was watching his medley on the show, I remembered all these amazing songs he's released over the years and how so many of the songs were an integral part and representative of my life at many given times.  Love/Stoned and My Love came out at a point in my life where I was joined at the hip with my "best friend" (though years later, I found out I was never her best friend; only her boyfriends were her best friends - uh, okay).  That was a time in my life where I drank a lot, smoked a lot and danced 5 nights a week...  We would hit Philthy's Mondays and Fridays, Louie's Tuesdays, Thursdays and/or Saturdays, sometimes Rev on Friday, sometimes Phil's on Wednesday or Sunday; it was pretty intense.  We used to have dance parties here while we got ready, often dressing alike, singing our hearts out and just acting like complete asses.  (If you think I'm somewhat selfie-lovin' now, you should have seen me back in those days). 
Cry Me a River was my ring tone on my old pink Razr and I still immediately check my phone for a call whenever I hear it. That song still makes me sad over his break up with Britney (though I totally have a huge girl-crush on Jessica Biel).
And hello, Dick In a Box?  CLASSIC.  I still watch that video and die.
Then there's his dancing...  I wouldn't say that just standing still and silent that Justin Timberlake is god's gift to women, but the second he starts to move his body, I'm in.  I think I would be one of those screaming teenage girls if I ever saw him, which is totally shameful, but so so likely.  When Jimmy Fallon introduced him as the "King of Pop" at the VMAs, I was like, "hold up, that's MJ"... but as I watched the performance, remembering these songs and the memories they held for me, I totally started thinking, "yes...  yes... YES, he totally is the current king of pop."  Totally deserving, totally inspiring and totally makes me swoon as soon as starts to rock his body.

Happy dancing,
M

Have your own little JT dance party! 

A Thousand Years

THIS

And I don't care that it's related to Twilight, it is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a very, very long time.  I almost believe in love again!

Still singing incessantly...

Singing!

Love and laughter.

Two For One

I'm not sure how I forgot to post yesterday, but happiness is all around care of the no bake chocolate pieces of heaven I made (and have almost already all consumed).

Today, I have 2 words: Glee 3D. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Singing is the best thing on the planet and I will always always always wish that I'd tried to pursue a life of singing. For now, I'll deal with piano... and staring at Cory Monteith's beauty.

Love for life.
- M!
