Remind Me- Brad Paisley ft. Carrie Underwood

I think I have a new favorite song,...and I'm usually not even a big fan of country!! But sometimes you hear a song at just the right time...Enjoy!

"Remind Me"

(with Carrie Underwood)

We didn't care if people stared

We'd make out in a crowd somewhere

Somebody'd tell us to get a room

It's hard to believe that was me and you

Now we keep saying that we're OK

But I don't want to settle for good not great

I miss the way that it felt back then I wanna feel that way again

[Brad] Been so long that you'd forget the way I used to kiss your neck

[Carrie] Remind me, remind me

[Brad] So on fire so in love. Way back when we couldn't get enough

[Carrie] Remind me, remind me

[Carrie]

Remember the airport dropping me off

We were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stop

[Brad] I felt bad cause you missed your flight

[Carrie and Brad] But that meant we had one more night

[Carrie]

Do you remember how it used to be

We'd turn out the lights and we didn't just sleep

[Brad] Remind me, baby, remind me

[Carrie]

Oh, so on fire so in love

That look in your eyes that I miss so much

[Brad] Remind me, baby, remind me

[Brad] I wanna feel that way

[Carrie] Yeah, I wanna hold you close

[Brad and Carrie]

Oh, if you still love me

Don't just assume I know

[Carrie] Do you remember the way it felt?

[Brad] You mean back when we couldn't control ourselves

[Carrie] Remind me

[Brad] Yeah, remind me

[Carrie]

All those things that you used to do

That made me fall in love with you

Remind me, oh, baby, remind me

Tunery Tuesday: All I Wanted Was You- Paramore

Apparently this song was in P.S. I Love You, but I just heard it on a Showtime commercial. I love Haley's voice.

"I could follow you to the beginning

Just to relive the start

Maybe then we'd remember to slow down

At all of our favorite parts"

Tunery Tuesday: O.A.R - Heaven

So I just learned what O.A.R. stood for- Of a Revolution...crazy!

"maybe i should take my time

and build this life by my own design

with no direction and it’s in between

everything i love, and everything i need

i know and i believe

everything we got is everything we need

love’ll get you higher

it set my heart on fire

i know it’s what you see

don’t wanna go to heaven if they don’t want me"

What are you listening to?

Phoenix- If I Ever Feel Better

"If I ever feel better, 
remind me to spend some good time with you

you can give me your number, 
when it's all over I'll let you know..."

*Chop Chop! (of my hair, that is)*

So I mentioned yesterday that-- I chopped off all my hair! I had touched on the fact that my hair was 22 inches long last week. But my hair is very thick and curly/wavy, and it was taking for-ev-er to actually style it, and I'm pretty lazy. But I wanted to grow it out for my friend's wedding in India. But I figure, her wedding is almost 6 months away, it will grow in some by then (my hair grows pretty fast), I don't feel like pretending to style it anymore, and I could donate it. So I decided to chop it off.

I went to Jean David Louis salon. I had this coupon that was expiring that day from Living Social. The deal was $12 for $25 worth of service- and I called before and learned that a haircut was only $27.

Now, this salon has several different locations in NYC. I went to the one closest to where I was (duh). And they were so incredibly unhelpful!!! They had a note posted saying that they were no longer accepting the Living Social deal. When I asked them about it, they changed their story several times.

First they said it was expired- but I pointed to the expiration date on the notice that they had posted that clearly stated the expiration date was June 25th.

Then they tried to tell me that Living Social had cut the deal early, and that if I had an issue, I had tot take it up with them; it wasn't the salon's fault. I almost believed this line, because there was a time when Living Social offered a coupon to a place that closed down by the time I went to use the coupon. However, they were very nice about it and refunded my money with absolutely no problems.

But then I asked if this was the case with all of those salons. I asked them to call one location- they said it had closed down. I asked them to call another one, they tried to tell me that I had to call. "No, it's your salon chain, YOU call your other location." So the guy did. But there was this other woman who worked there, who I think was the hairdresser, who kept talking in our ear (my mom joined me), so we couldn't hear the conversation. The guy hung up and started talking to the hairdresser in Spanish. He was saying that the other salon was accepting the coupon,...but the hairdresser was saying to tell us that the other salon wasn't accepting the other coupon either so we would pay full price.

Well, weren't they in complete shock when my mom interrupted them...in Spanish! She said something to the effect of "I know what you're saying you know. And I have to say you have very poor customer service. Now, I want the name of the manager of this establishment [wrote it down]... and so you know, I am reporting you to the Smaller Business Bureau for your complete lack of customer service/ disrespect for your customers." (I understand some Spanish, but I don't speak it, but this is the gist of what she said.)

So off we went to the other location, and there was this wonderful hairdresser named Angela. I told her I wanted to see how short it would be if she cut off 10 or so inches so I could donate. It looked shoulder length, so I told her to do it. But then after all the shaping/styling, and my curly texture, the front pieces are at my chin, and it's even shorter in the back! But I really do like it. And everyone who has seen it has complimented me on it, saying that I look older (in a good way), more mature, and more sophisticated. I've also heard the words "Fox", "Diva", and "Bombshell" being thrown around...talk about an ego trip! But I was a little self conscious, so it definitely helped!

Without further ado, before, during, and after pics!

Miss Long Hair Don't Care!

choppity chop!

my hair is thick! this is about half way through- you can kinda see me wincing!

the amazing Angela, shaping and styling

playing with my new do!

finished product!

I should also mention...I didn't tell anyone I was even remotely thinking of cutting it that short. I had mentioned to a few people that I had a coupon, but would only be getting a trim. I only told my mom when we were crossing the street right before walking into the salon. She stopped dead in her tracks before I urged her along as we were about to be roadkill. And I didn't tell C at all. In fact, when he asked what I did to it I purposely fibbed and said I got a trim and a blowout! So you can imagine his surprise when he came to pick me up at the train station and I walked up with a super short, curly do!

Honestly though, he did say he preferred short hair on girls! But I've never ever had my hair this short. I think he was in shock for about a day or so. He seems to like it now though!!And I love how easy it is to style- I can literally wash it, add some mousse, and be on my way!

Have you done any surprise or impulsive makeovers? Or have a hair success or horror story? I'd love to hear it!

Marry Me - Train

"Promise me

You'll always be

Happy by my side

I promise to

Sing to you

When all the music dies"

I may have mentioned this before, but a lot of my friends have recently gotten engaged. Over the weekend, I learned of three more engagements- and I'm happy for all of them! But not everyone is feeling the same...

Sunday night, I was having a "catch up" convo with one of my friends from high school. She was asking for advice as to whether she should stay with her boyfriend of a little over two years. As she explained, she wants to get married, have kids, and buy a house, and when she asked him last year if he could visualize them being married, he (looking like a deer caught in headlights) said no, and that he was scared.

She asked him again this year, with the exact same response.

He's just really happy with where they are. But he's 37, and she's 27. And she wants to move to the next level. Not right this second, but she would like some promise for the future, like getting engaged in the next year or two. She would at least like for him to be able to see them being happily married. And he simply said he couldn't do that.

I understand her point. Should she wait for him to come around? How long would it take for him to "be ready"? And though he treats her right and they're seemingly happy, she's always going to have this nagging feeling about them not moving forward, which could spoil the relationship. And she doesn't want to keep bringing it up either, she just wants him to have a different answer.

I respect the fact that he told her honestly what he feels about the whole thing. He could have easily lied to her just to shut her up appease her.
But- in the whole conversation- she never mentioned once that she wanted to be married to him. She said that she loved him, but nothing like he was "the one." Nothing like she couldn't or wouldn't want to be without him. There was nothing about him period. Well, except that she is dating him. And she can see herself married to him. And starting a family. I didn't ask her if she thought he would be a faithful husband (she thought he was cheating on her for about a month, more than once) or if he seemed like father material (she's never mentioned him interacting with kids in any capacity). So I don't know what would lead her to see herself with him long term, but I suppose she has her reasons.

I feel like her focus is off. Or maybe she just didn't express these thoughts to me and was trying to think rationally rather than emotionally. I just always assumed that if you were considering marrying someone, something should just "click" between you two. It would seem natural, and like you always knew each other. That you're able to work through difficult times together.You could make each other laugh, take care of one another and be there for each other.

But, maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic.

"Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you."

Tunery Tuesday: A Mix CD I Found!

As I was cleaning up on Sunday, I found this old CD that a guy friend gave me in college. Actually, we were driving somewhere, and I heard Nelly Furtado on the CD, so I asked him to burn me a copy. It's title: "Non Hip-Hop Popular Jawn". Yes, Jawn...like "joint".

Tunery Tuesday: S&M - Rihanna ft. Britney Spears (Remix)

  Rihanna. Britney Spears. Chains and whips *wa-pooosh!* What do you think?

Tunery Tuesday: Ghetto Supastar- Pras ft. ODB and Mya

I was really about to skip today. I'm just tired and worn out, and didn't have a particularly meaningful song for the day. But then I heard C laughing in the next room over...

C: Baby... "Uknoyoughettowhen" is trending on Twitter. You do the first two- bring your own food to the theater and use the stove for heat...
I can't even say anything- it's true!! Actually, my mom was the one who would leave the stove on for heat, in an apartment where our neighbors actually controlled the heat for the floor. But I wanted to bring food to the theater just last week! So of course I went on and found some more that I do.

UKnoYouGhettoWhen:

- you add water to the dish detergent to make it last longer
- you stock up on salt, sugar, ketchup, and napkins at McDonald's to use in your house
- the only Kool-Aid flavor you know is "Red"
- you steal your neighbor's WiFi
- you ride with the windows down in the summer because you think the AC is using up your gas
- your heart races whenever you see the cable (or PSE&G) guy on your block
- you have a big TV on the floor and a little on on top of it. The big TV broke ages ago
- you have tape around the batteries on your remote because you lost the back
- you don't have a dust pan...you have a designated piece of cardboard
- you tell your child to lie about their age when walking into a buffet (or train, movie theater, etc- my mom did this to me for the longest time!)





So...are you ghetto?!

Tunery Tuesday - Where Are You Going? DMB

Where are you going

with your long face pulling down?

Don’t hide away like an ocean

But you can’t see, but you can smell

And the sound waves crash down

I am no superman

I have no reasons for you

I am no hero, ah that’s for sure

But I do know one thing

is where you are is where I belong

I do know, where you go, is where I want to be

Where are you going, where do you go?

Are you looking for answers

to questions under the stars?

Well, if along the way you are growing weary,

You can rest with me 'til a brighter day

You're okay

Where are you going, where do you go?

[interlude]

Tell me where are you going, where do you go?

Where?

Let's go.

-------------------------------------------

Today C and I had some serious talks. I don't like having serious discussions while I'm at work, or through text/GChat. I feel like body language and undertones are important, and sometimes words/phrases/messages can get mixed up when in text as opposed to in person. Plus, we are both doing different things- and we both had to actually do work at some point.

So while I'm not too happy about the way it came up (we were talking about playing the lottery, and then BAM! "Where are we going" convos- thanks for the segway honey!), I'm very happy we did discuss it. I didn't realize there were problems. I mean, I know that we have no money (or it feels that way most of the time), but there were other things that I didn't know about. I'm happy that he felt comfortable enough to bring it up and talking to me about it, even though it wasn't an easy conversation to have. At least the lines of communication are open, and we can start working on the problems and carrying the burden together.

Tunery Tuesday & March 15

I haven't slept well the past 2 nights. I lie awake, for hours, just trying to sleep. Rolling from side to side. It's not that I'm not tired, I just couldn't sleep. I've never had sleeping problems, so to speak. But I don't like it. It leaves me feeling lethargic and generally blah the whole next day. Unable to focus. I guess it could be the time change. But whatever it is, I hope it stops soon. I really love me some sleep.

This morning I woke up and jumped into the shower. On my way out of the bathroom, I closed the door. About 20 seconds later I was in the closet looking for something to wear when *CRASH*. I thought C had broken something in the kitchen. Nope...the full length mirror on the other side of the bathroom door (that I just closed...not slammed, just closed) came crashing to the ground, splintering into a bajillion pieces.

Maybe it's true what they say...beware the Ides of March...

Tunery Tuesday: Katy Perry ft. Kanye West- E.T. (Remix)

I can't decide if I like this song yet or not. I think, like most of Katy Perry's songs, it will eventually grow on me. Because ya know, it's another one that gets stuck in your head!

[Kanye West]

I got a dirty mind

I got filthy ways

I’m tryna Bath my Ape in your Milky Way

I’m a legend, I’m irreverent

I be reverand

I be so fa-a-ar up, we don’t give a f-f-f-f-ck

Welcome to the danger zone

Step into the fantasy

You are not invited to the otherside of sanity

They calling me an alien

A big headed astronaut

Maybe it’s because your boy Yeezy get ass a lot

[Katy Perry]

You’re so hypnotizing

Could you be the devil

Could you be an angel

Your touch magnetizing

Feels like I am floating

Leaves my body glowing

They say be afraid

You’re not like the others

Futuristic lover

Different DNA

They don’t understand you

Your from a whole other world

A different dimension

You open my eyes

And I’m ready to go

Lead me into the light

Chorus:

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me

Infect me with your love and

Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me

Wanna be a victim

Ready for abduction

Boy, you’re an alien

Your touch so foreign

It’s supernatural

Extraterrestrial

--

Your so supersonic

Wanna feel your powers

Stun me with your lasers

Your kiss is cosmic

Every move is magic

Your from a whole other world

A different dimension

You open my eyes

And I’m ready to go

Lead me into the light

[chorus]

[Kanye West]

I know a bar out in Mars

Where they driving spaceships instead of cars

Cop a Prada spacesuit about the stars

Getting stupid ass straight out the jar

Pockets on Shrek, Rockets on deck

Tell me what’s next, alien sex

I’ma disrobe you, than I’mma probe you

See I abducted you, so I tell ya what to do

I tell ya what to do, what to do, what to do

[chorus to end]

Tunery Tuesday: Blow- Ke$ha (w/ Special appearance by James Van Der Beek!)

I have found a new party/dance/club anthem. I don't really understand the unicorns (or why she makes out with one at a point...weird!), but I would have some fun shooting guns of rainbows and glitter. I love it. I especially love James Van Der Douche Beek and the spoken part [at 2:41]  "ke dollar sign ha" LOL.

Enjoy!




Now, what? We're taking control

We get what we want

We do what you don't

Dirt and glitter cover the floor

We're pretty and sick

We're young and we're bored
It's time to lose your mind and let the crazy out

This place's about to

Tonight we're taking names 'cause we don't mess around

This place's about to blow - oh-oh-oh!
Blow-oh-oh-oh

This place's about to blow

Tunery Tuesday- 2Fer February!

Hello lovlies!

It's been a little while, but I'm back! With a new month, I decided to do "Flash Back February"...not that far back, but a little bit. But today, because I jsut discovered a new song about one song that talks about a town that bring back maaaaany memories, you get two! The first song is "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden. This is actually the first music video I ever saw (I didn't have cable -I saw this at a friend's house)!

Well we're living here in Allentown
And they're closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
Filling out forms
Standing in line.

Well our fathers fought the Second World War
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Met our mothers at the USO
Asked them to dance
Danced with them slow
And we're living here in Allentown.

But the restlessness was handed down
And it's getting very hard to staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
aaaaaaah aaahhhhh ooooooooh ooooooh ohhhhhhh.

Well we're waiting here in Allentown
For the Pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard
If we behaved.

So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron or coke,
Chromium steel.

And we're waiting here in Allentown.
But they've taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaah.

Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got.
If something happened on the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our face, oh oh oh.

Well I'm living here in Allentown
And it's hard to keep a good man down.
But I won't be getting up todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy
aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah.

GUITAR SOLO

aaaaaaah aaaaaaah aaaaaaah oh oh oh.

And it's getting very hard to staaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
And we're living here in Allentown.

Happy Birthday Homewrecker! And some other random schtuff

Today is Alicia Keys' birthday. I stand by the fact that she is a homewrecker. But I still like her music.

In other news, for those in the Northeast Tri-State area, did you guys see this?

how crazy is that?! Looks like from a movie!

The owner of the car, identified by 1010Wins as Pete, said he left his car parked on Friday night and that at some point during the weekend the [water main] leak began -- slowly turning his vehicle into an ice sculpture.


Many commuters braving the biting, 19 degree weather Monday, paused their commute to gather around and take picture of the cover blanketed by six inches of ice.
The New York Department of Environmental Protection shut off water to the surrounding residences mid-morning to begin fixing the pipe. (from here)

Silver lining is that NYC had to defrost his car, and pay for any damages. Which is good, because once they could open the doors, they turned it on to defrost the windows, and the windows BURST. So, they gotta get him new windows. But he's ok-- he was more upset that the Jets lost than his car being covered in ice!
---------------------------------------

Also for those in the Northeast (or who listen to Nick Cannon's radio show via web)....
Ugh. He is soooo annoying and dumb and seriously is only famous because of Mariah. There is no way he could have a radio show before her, because he's an idiot. (This is also why I don't listen to radio in the morning- the shows are either gross or filled with idiocy...but ANYway.) So I tuned in this morning and his question was this:

Ladies, if a guy buys you a drink in a club/bar (not just pays for it, but actually comes up to you with a drink), do you take it and drink it or not?

Well that seems like an easy answer: HELL NO. You don't know what that guy did to the drink. He could've put roofies in it. You didn't see it being made- obviously don't drink it.

The chick on the show said the same thing. (She also noted that the guy didn't ask you what you wanted, it's some random drink...how rude!) I understand that people have different opinions (why else would it be a topic on a radio show), and that maybe there should be a devil's advocate type, but Nick Cannon was seriously defending the idea! He shot down the chick's answer saying- oh you're just saying that for our young listeners out there. Yeah, this is a Public Service Announcement, the Early Afternoon Special, blah blah blah. But for the GROWN ADULTS out there...do you know how expensive drinks are in this city? He's just trying to talk to you, blah blah blah....

OMG.
Um, first of all the "grown adults" are the only ones who should be involved in this conversation, being that you have to be 21+ to drink. Duh. And "grown adults" are also the ones who still DO take drinks from strangers and are getting hurt/hospitalized/etc.! If you're worried about not being able to afford your own drinks, then maybe you shouldn't be out in the first place. Just sayin.

After playing a song, he came back on with a completely changed tune-- yeah ladies, don't drink the juice if he buys it for you without you seeing it, blah blah blah.

I guess one of the producers had to have a little chat with him.

Tunery Tuesday: Hold It Against Me- Britney Spears

It's true... I'm *still* kinda in love with just about everything this headcase puts out. Sorry lovelies...but it's just so poppy and addictive and gets stuck in my head! Enjoy!

"If I said my heart was beating loud

If we could escape the crowd somehow

If I said I want your body now

Would you hold it against me?"

Tunery Tuesday: Keep Your Head Up- Andy Grammer

I've been waiting on the sunset

Bills on my mindset

I can get deny theyre getting high

Higher than my income

My income's breadcrumbs

I've been trying to survive

The glow that the sun gives

Right around sunset

Helps me realize

This is just a journey

Drop your worries

You are gonna turn out fine.

Oh, you'll turn out fine.

Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know its hard,

To remember sometimes,

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I've got my hands in my pockets,

Kickin these rocks.

Its kinda hard to watch this life go by.

I'm buyin in the skeptics,

Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes

I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled

I start to comprimise

My life and the purpose.

Is it all worth it,

Am I gonna turn out fine?

Oh, you'll turn out fine.

Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.
