Random Musings...

This is probably my fifth honest attempt to keep a blog but I figure that having some down time during the summer between my internship and working would be a great time to get my thoughts out. 

The idea of these random musings came from my high school newspaper which contained a short blurb from a writer each month about different things regarding high school life. 

I like the thought of being able to write on a different topic with each new blog post and hopefully, I won’t exhaust my ideas before the idea of the summer. 

So that’s about it -- there’s no specific tag associated with this post. It’s just more of an introduction.

iPhone filmed version of Hoodie’s “James Franco” song being used for the James Franco roast!

[stian1031]

As a HUGE Hoodie Mobber, I could not be more proud of Hoodie! So what if they remixed the original, it's still awesome to be featured as the introduction to James Franco's roast! <3

October 22 is simply just too damn far away. I need MORE answers NOW.

Spotted: Hell's Kitchen 6 winner at the Hell's Kitchen 7 Finale. Yes, Dave was still sporting his funky (lovely) hats and that cast. But why is he wearing chef whites?

If you couldn't tell, I'm rewatching seasons 6-11 of Hell's Kitchen- mainly because I loved the winners from those seasons a lot.

Really? An American reality show on ballet!

Like making an exaggerated movie wasn’t enough for America. Now, they have a freaking reality show to over expose the drama that should be ignore in order to concentrate on the dance. 

Enjoy the reality TV show while I stick to watch top quality dancers and ballerinas in the making on YouTube.

I just wonder if this tumblr user has any idea what working in the ballet world is like...

The show aims not only to go behind the scenes of a leading ballet company in the US, but also to show the outside lives of ballet dancers (and what effects their occupation has on their personal lives- as we see with Christiana/Chris and Allison among others). 

No question that the Bolshoi Ballet (mentioned in the tags) has some of the highest quality talent in the world, but I doubt that the company is without a sense of drama (as it permeates every corner of life). 

The purpose is not to spend 60 minutes on solely ballet- but to open the doors into the ballet world and what it is like to be immersed in the lifestyle. I'd say that the performances and the perfection do take a backseat to what can be viewed as petty drama and silly gossip, but Breaking Pointe serves to show the process of getting to the stage and achieving that level of perfection. 

*Note: This, of course, is my own opinion of the show (coming from a former ballet dancer). Kittysha is entitled to his/her own opinion, but I ask this user to give the show a second chance.

I'm reblogging so I can voice my opinion. I think the DA producers are doing their best given that they have only been allotted half the number of episodes as in previous seasons. They do a good job giving us extras through the DA website. But I agree, it DOES feel like everything is fast-tracked. I'm going to miss the show when the season ends :(

A lot of people are mad that Christian has been such a jerk lately, but what people aren’t realizing is that it’s just his personality. Not to be a jerk, but to be rather stand-offish and quiet and soft-spoken. He has always sort of mostly kept to himself.

But you have to realize how much he has...

This is so eloquent. I'm getting teary-eyed.

No Interruption Acoustic Video

Americoustic EP drops on iTunes and Free D/L August 13

[stian1031]

Is it possible that I love the acoustic version more than the original?

Nah.

I love all of Hoodie's music equally.

I'd like to take credit for this one. An important quality for boyfriends to have.

#throwbackthursday to when this song was the biggest song out there (or at least I remembered the name of it without Shazaming it)

Looking through my last few months on tumblr, I see that I have really only been uploading photos (that come from Instagram). I should really work on other ways of updating....
