Newly Discovered Music: Jessie J & DEV

Thanks to Vevo I've found some new music that I'm kinda digging right now. There are two songs I found, one by a girl called Jessie J and the other by a girl called Dev. Honestly, after watching both of their videos back to back I noticed that they are very similar artists. Some of their song lyrics are almost identical even. I really don't have any background info on either of them but I'm pretty sure that Dev is the female singing the chorus on that 'Like a G6' song. A lot of people think it's Kesha I heard.

I said this the other day on Twitter but to me Jessie J seems like a mix of Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Lily Allen. I don't know if anyone else would agree but they're who I thought of when I saw her video. Both girls have this sort of "tough girl" badass thing going on. Or at least it seems like that's what they're going for. Anyway, judge for yourself.

Stuff I Like: Tattoos

I've been wanting a new tattoo for a while now (currently I have 2) so I thought I'd make this little post about tattoos. I like guys with tattoos but not too many because then it just looks crazy. I also think that there are certain places where tattoos just aren't appealing. The MOST unattractive place for a tattoo in my opinion is the face (see Gucci Mane).

Anyway, right now there are two tattoos that I'm thinking about getting. One of them is a quote: How beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken. The only thing I need to figure out for that is the exact placement I want and what kind of font. The other I want on the back of my neck and it's kind of a mixture of different sized stars and maybe hearts but I can't settle on a design yet so I'm waiting. As soon as I get everything figured out I'll be all good.

Here's a few pictures of the tattoos I'm considering:



This is actually the first tattoo I saw that made me want to get a neck tat but I would have to switch the butterfly with something else because I already have a butterfly tattoo on my shoulder.

I considered something like this too but I'm not sure if I'd want something that big (notice it's the quote I want too).

I'll let you know when I decide....

Some People Are Idiots!!! re: DADT

I was on Twitter (as usual) and I came upon a tweet between two people that had nothing to do with me that annoyed the hell out of me (another reminder that I need to stop clicking on things on twitter). No doubt the annoying tweet was from a republican and they were having a Twitter convo with a very liberal person. They were talking about DADT and the not so liberal was asking about bedding for the soldiers now that DADT has been repealed. Meaning where are the gay soldiers going to sleep now because apparently gay and straight people can't share bedrooms or whatever they call the sleeping quarters in the army.

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. In the army, men all sleep in the same area and women all sleep in the same area, correct? So why should that change now? Didn't these people share sleeping quarters BEFORE anyone knew if they were gay or straight? And it wasn't a problem then so why should it be now? This person on Twitter questioned whether men and women would now have to room together. Again, stupid. I don't see what's so wrong with a gay person and a straight person of the same sex sleeping in the same room. What the hell do you think is gonna happen?

I swear I can't take this ignorant nonsense.

What Do Atheists do for Christmas?

I was sitting in the tub today and I had a thought, what do atheists do for Christmas. They don't believe in God or Jesus right? So obviously the birth of Christ would mean nothing to them. Aside from enjoying the day off from work, what do they do? I'm really curious. Do they sit at home drinking egg nog and talking about how stupid we all or for believing in some made up holiday? Do they still exchange gifts but in the name of something else other than Christmas? Is there any kind of celebration? I really want to know but I'm too lazy to do my own research.

What do you think?

Stuff I Like: Christmas Songs

With Christmas just around the corner I thought I'd make a post about some of my favorite holiday songs. My favorite Christmas CD is Nsync's Home for Christmas. Maybe it's the 90's teenage fan girl in me but I just love that CD so much. I have to listen to it every year around this time. My favorite song in there is In Love on Christmas. Why? Because it's a great song, duh. Lol, but anyway I think it's a good album all around.

Another one of my favorite Christmas songs is All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey. I really don't even know the names of any other Christmas songs that she's done. I also like the song This Christmas that has been remade time and again but the original by Donny Hathaway is the best version I think. Anyway, here's a few videos for your enjoyment:










Happy Holidays!!!
