The question is really Milky Way or Twix. I am in IN love with Milky Way. My mother and brother like Twix. Their argument is that Milky Way’s are too nougat-y and they dry your mouth out. My argument is that a Twix is too cookie-y and not enough nougat-y. Now what’s your thoughts about it and comment. In other news Panic(!) At The Disco has parted ways with their exclamation point. I know I am sad too but the good news is they are headlining the HCT (Honda Civic Tour) and their awesome Honda Civic I have to admit is better than Fall Out Boy’s but not better than Maroon 5′s Honda Civic.Peace, Love And Grooviness

The-Nsider says that The-n didn’t suck in 2007 well I can’t blame them. 2007 didn’t suck for me but at the same time a lot happened like I really discovered music. I’m not talking about Fall Out Boy I mean across the board. I have heard Patrick’s amazing voice live. And I am preparing to move to a house where my room will be with a full bathroom in the basement. I just took the biggest test to date, the Terra Nova, and now I have to wait for the results to come in the mail. But forget all of that. Maroon 5 had their member Mickey Madden make a “Best Of 2007″ list on Buzznet.com. This list I have to say is pretty kick-batooty. So what I thought I would do is put in my ‘two cents’ on what I thought was the “Best Of 2007″ and use the same questions and catergories from Buzznet. Now I know ’07 is over but I can still do it.Favorite Single: This Ain’t a Scene It’s An Arms Race-Fall Out BoyMore to come I have huge news tooPeace, Love and Grooviness

You heard it here first the lead singer of Some Like It Hot looks like Brendon Urie. And he said he’s never heard that before So I felt all special. Now you are prolly like Wha!? well my friend Nia’s big brother, G’ra, is their guitarist. I went to their show tonight and it was AWESOME!!!!!!! We went to a real bar to the point that I have black Xs on my hands so I couldn’t go to the bar and say hey get me a drink will ya. So it was AWESOME I mean I give it a year before you’l be like Fall Out Boy who? Oh welll my fave band is Some Like It Hot DOI!? LOL! Now when this band blows up I can actually say that I heard of it like 31st I can’t say first unfortunately but I can fake til I make it. So I gotta go wash off my Xs. But I want you to know that my little friend Gyasi (Joss-ee) had on the back of his home made T-shirt G’ra VS. Pete Wentz I think that it would be pretty hard I mean it would go something like this

“I have cool hair” Says Pete Wentz

“I have cool siblings” says G’ra

“That’s true but I have a clothing line.”

“I have a shirt with Marilyn Monroe on it.”

“OK you win but only until I get a new blonder girlfriend.”

“Fair enough”

That is it that’s how it would go down and I the Gingersnap witnessing this all to make sure it would stay clean.

Transformers. The best commercial I’ve ever seen is Transformers. I know it was a movie but it must have been really expensive because there were so many commercials. I think that some were subtle but some were a lot worse. I think that the fact that it was about toys should say something I mean if you think about it then that’s a commercial in and of itself. So you think about all the people in Japan who are paying Stephen Spielberg big bucks to make sure that their precious toys have a good movie but I mean really a movie about toys? I thought it would be horrible but I thought it was amazing but I suggest that you sit as far bakc as possible my eyes hurt cause I was in the very front(those were the last seats). I saw so many commercials like Panasonic. But the movie overall was great very funny and really explosive. It like invaded your mind after you saw it. I think that Shia LaBeouf has really reinvented himself after Even Stevens I mean I loved that show but I love the new shia even more. I really suggest seeing that movie

OK So I am thinking that I might be the only one who like these songs that are just down right mean. But I have a hunch that you guys are holding back on me. I mean I listen to songs like Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today. There’s a line in that song that says ‘I hope you choke on those that kiss that bottle’ that isn’t lovey dovey in the least bit. So here is my favorite list of Spiteful songs. Beware: Fall Out Boy is responsible for a lot of it.

Never Again Kelly Clarkson Now I think everyone was surprised when Kelly came out with this Spiteful number. I mean saying things like ‘I would never wish bad things but I don’t wish you well’ I think that she deserves a thumbs up for her video too. If you haven’t seen the video then scroll to the bottom. But if you have seen it then I think that you would agree I mean she’s like making her ex paranoid. That isn’t cool. But still when I was singing the song for one of my friends she was like ‘Man what man made her mad?’ But I think she did an excellent job.

Hate(I really don’t like you) Plain White Ts This song is written by the same people who wrote the song that’s on my site now. They also made Hey There Delilah but this song is sheer hate (hence the name) but with a chorus like ‘Hate is a strong word/But I really really really don’t like you’ So if you think about that then well ‘Delilah’ must have messed up. And they are saying that all because they broke up. Not cool.

Smile By Lily Allen This song is just wrong. I think the melody isn’t that great but you hear the lyrics and you think “Man! She’s mad.” She says ‘When I see you cry I just smile/At Worst I feel bad for a while but then I just smile then I go ahead and smile’ I mean basically she doesn’t like him all that much any more. So if you think about it this song is making you take notice of the lyrics and you are like man you have like no conscience but he did treat her badly. And she said ‘When you first left me you messed up my mental health’ So you can see that she wasn’t doing so well.

Now Fall Out Boy has written so many hateful songs that I just had to choose a whole album. Take This To Your Grave (2003) This album is just mean. It’s straight mean. The opener Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Thing To Do Today, is like the epitome of mean. I think that it’s written in different Point Of Views. I think that part of the song is a girl talking to a guy and then a guy talking about a girl. I didn’t get it for a while but listen closely and you’ll get it. Sending You Postcards From A Plane Crash (Wish You Were Here) is really bad too with lines like ‘I have seen sinking ships go down with more grace than you’ I mean really that’s gotta hurt. Supposedly these lyrics were written about a girl named Janae who like broke Pete’s heart in millions of perfectly emo pieces so that we could get the songs that make us cringe but still laugh because you know that they’re not about you so you’re good. Another song that I don’t listen to as much but I remember well is called Reinventing The Wheel To Run Myself Over, is known for being a song that was quoted on One Tree Hill which was where Peyton and Pete get together and the next episode break up. Longest relationship I’ve ever seen NOT! But the song has a line that says ‘My pen is the barrel of the gun/Remind me which side you should be on’ I think that he means like what should happen should I hurt you or should you hurt me. My other favorite songs on this album is a song called Chicago Is So Two Years Ago. This song is hateful towards the end but it’s really up beat so that it’s OK to be hateful I guess But in any event I think there are two major parts of this song that make me love it. One is the bridge because it is really sped up so that you have to listen to it a lot of times to comprehend it. And then the ending is amazing because Patrick shows off his premature vocals with an A-Capella ending that has just enough site to make the list and the album.

I think that’s enough and before you ask yes there will be a Happy song list I just have to get it together. Oh anddon’t forget this Kelly Clarkson Music Video.

Well I have seen movies but not read many books. I have heard Avril Lavigne but none of her new stuff I am looking for India Arie and I think I might have found her. Well it’s (drumroll) REVIEW Day!!!! So I have music and movies no books sorry .

Music

My aunt Chanda said she heard some Avril Lavigne on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ but I am assuming it’s some of her newer music. Unfortunately I haven’t heard any of her new things except her singles like ‘Girlfriend’ but I’ll review all that I know.

Under My Skin

This album is very sad and slow. I like it because  it shows that she isn’t some girl who got a contract and then dropped out of high school and it was just smooth sailing from there. At the time she was in a very rough relation with her parents a new boyfriend that was up and down. Then songs like ‘He Wasn’t’ are fun and remind you of the more recent Avril. Other than that there are songs like ‘Forgotten’ that start off with a ghost like sound and have lyrics like “Have you forgotten everything that I wanted/Do get it now?/You never got it” the overall album is very bleek and cold. Bottom Line if you like new Avril and only the sound then you won’t like Under My Skin.

sorry that’s all I got i g2g

Sorry you guys but I was volunteering at VBS (Vacation Bible School) and I literally just got back so here it is short and sweet. And I’ve decided that I’m changing it to review Tuesday.

Books

I found a new book called Bittersweet Sixteen by Carry Karysov and Jill Kargman I liked this book because it was full of friendship gone bad. I know it’s a weird reason to like it but I think that not all friendships stay true for a long time. This book is about a girl Laura who goes to a very posh all-girls school but is on a scholarship because she doesn’t live like the average ‘Tate Girl’ (Tate is the school that she goes to). Her friends Whitney and Sophie are obsessed with their Sweet Sixteen that they didn’t notice how valuable their friendship was. Whitney and Sophie tried to have a combined SS but it ended up that they really didn’t like each other so they started to plot against each other. They put Laura in the middle of a crush on a guy and a Party when all she did was help she eventually snapped (No duh). But it ended in such a way that the friendship was better but not miraculously mended.

If you like books about ghosts but not scary ones then you might like The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot about a mediator, someone who can talk to ghosts, that is being haunted by a guy Jesse who was killed in her bedroom in California. During this series she meets another mediator and talks to a ‘mediator doctor’ but there are very attention catching plots in every book. Mg Cabot has done it again.

Twilight By Stephenie Meyer is by far the best book I have read in my life. I know I have a short life but I promise you that you will love it or I will stop reviewing. So basically I found this book from my cousin who was reading it for school and she said it was OK. So I heard a little more about it but I didn’t really think about it anymore. I saw it a the bookstore about a week ago and LOVED it. It hadn’t left my hands since last night when I finished it. Twilight is about a girl named Bella who falls in love with a guy named Edward who is a vampire. But Edward and his family don’t hunt humans. Edward tries to stay away from belle but I he can’t deny what he’s feeling. Through the course of the book you’ll find yourself wanting more because it’s kind of vague. Vague enough to make you keep reading but not vague enough to make you feel confused. It made me cry and laugh and get scared but I loved that it was solely from Bella’s view. Like sometimes books say “meanwhile”… or “little did I know” but this book recalled just what Bella was feeling and seeing and nothing more.

OK so books are for reading DUH! But if you don’t like books then you won’t read them. so Here are some books that I like to read or have read:

If you like Harry Potter You May Like Charlie Bone By Jenny Nimmo. OK Charlie Bone is about this kid who can go into pictures and paintings. But unlike Harry Potter he was born with it instead of using a wand Charlie just uses his brain. He attends a school like hogwarts with his evil aunts and headmaster. his main mission is to find is mysteriously missing father and what happened to him.

If you like The Clique, Or Gossip Girl then you might like Bass Ackwards and Belly Up By Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain. This book is about four friends who live an elite community where everyone goes to a great college and then makes a load of money. But one girl Harper doesn’t get into the college of her choice (NYU) but tells her friends that college isn’t for her she thinks that she needs to scope out her options and write the great american novel. So her friends decide to go after their dreams too. Between a girl who tries to ski professionally, a girl who wants to be an actress throw in one girl who decides that Harvard isn’t the place for and her boyfriend dumps her so she can travel the world. It is a lot of heartbreak but even more fun.

MUSIC

Ok now music is different then what our parents listened too in some aspects it’s better and in some aspects it’s just different.

If you like Hip Hop and rock but want it in one band the you should try Gym Class Heroes. With their song Cupid’s Chokehold they combine the Hip Hop and Rock into a perfect combination. With infectious sound and sometimes odd lyrics they are OK. Like Their song New Friends Requests talks of a “Myspace vixen” and it’s kind of i dunno odd I mean they said Quote “My Man Tom Hooked us up” so kind of odd but they’re abum The Papercut Chronicles birth songs like Clothes Off with the vocal stylings of Patrick Stump(Lead Singer of Fall Out Boy) and Shoot Down the Stars with the cutest music Video.

I f you like Plain White Ts and pure pwerhouse pop then you may like The Academy Is…They have a similar sound of kind of mellow Guitar and a high pitched lead singer not too high but high. Even if you don’t like their previous albums their new album, Santi, is a different mix of music with alot of new sound not a heavy as former albums with a new guitarist(Michael Guy Chislette) they have a different sound. Even if you don’t like their music you will prolly like them as people on their website they have this feature called TAITV and they have everything from their bassist being ‘arrested’ to a wacky Horror Movie Trailer they are cool people like William ‘Bill’ Becket, Mike Carden, The Butcher(not sure of his real name)Michael ‘chiz’ Chislette, and Last and my personal Favorite Adam T.’ Sisky Business’ Siska. Laughter is sure.
