Okay, so I generally don't care about pop culture or whatever. I keep kind of up to date and I love music and listening to new music but I generally don't feel the need to voice my opinions about them with the world but this must be shared. I cannot handle what I just saw. I literally am not sure what I just saw.
Miley Cyrus recently released the music video for her single We Can't Stop. The single itself I like and enjoy listening to, but the video. The video is simply something else. The music video is something my brain can't even comprehend. So many things happened in it and the video is just interesting. No offense to Miley like you go girl, be different! But this video, I don't even know what to say about it. In it she is twerking, grinding, everything. She is making out with an oversized Barbie. She has giant bears. I don't even know! A girl cuts off fake fingers. There is this freakish computer generated white face, mask looking thing, I'm not even sure, my brain cannot comprehend the music video. And her lip syncing is just a touch off in parts of the video, but that happens in music videos. I'm not sure what I think of her anymore, I just, I'm so confused. I mean no hate to Miley but I'm completely grounded, she is so different from what I knew her to be.....
I like the song, it seems like a chill beat,something you can dance to. It's upbeat and fun. But the music video is simply so random. You can check it out on YouTube, it's on her Vivo channel, I'd link it but I'm on an iPad and I'd just screw something up.
Another song I have some issues with is Why I'm Single by Alli Simpson, Cody Simpsons little sister. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Cody, Alli seems really nice and everything but for some reason I don't like her all that much, I feel like its because just looking at her makes me feel bad about myself, haha. But again I like the song, it's a chill beat, something fun to dance to. It's upbeat and fun. The music video isn't crazy. The music video doesn't have much to do with the song though. It's basically her wearing different outfits and dancing around. And talking on a pink corded phone, which I really like. But one line I have an issue with is 'I show them my scars'. Personally when I hear this in a song I think of physical scars, if you understand what I'm saying. She means more along the lines of emotional scars, which are as important but I wish she would use a different line for this. I know, it's something so trivial. Over all I like this song though, I keep listening to it and am starting to really like it. You can check this song out on Alli's YouTube channel SoAlli.
Overall I like both of these songs!! Please understand that. Sorry for the ranting. I just had to get that out. I couldn't handle it. I so like both of the songs. This will probably be the only time I post about this kind of stuff. Have a good night!!

Summer
ITS SUMMER! I am almost at a full week of summer! Last Friday was the last day of school for my Sophomore year! o.O Its so crazy to think that I just have two more years until I'm off on my own.
On Tuesday I started my behind the wheel portion of my Drivers Ed. I have a mix of simulation and actual behind the wheel. Yesterday (Wednesday) my my first day of actually driving with an instructor. I have driven before, I have about 15 hours of driving in, but this was the first time not with my parents. Now we don't get to drive our parents car so I had to get used to a whole different car, one that was nicer then my parents car. I get to drive a Pontiac G6. It was such a pain to figure out, the brake and gas pedal are so touchy!! But the instructor said I did good and I got a B+ for yesterday, which is generally what people get. I was a little afraid of dying though because the person also in my group hasn't driven to much and well, sometimes it was a little scary :p
I have had a pretty decent beginning to summer. I have hung out with my friends and I also have soccer so I haven't been to alone this summer. Also with drivers ed I don't get to sleep until noon which is good. I really wanna start some projects but I am just to lazy, but I do have a lot of summer left and I plan on doing some cool things this summer. So I think I am okay yet to just sit around for a while.
I am on the job hunt, I have applied for some fast food restaurants but haven't got a call yet. *sigh* Hopefully I will get one, I really need some money!!
I think I need to start having a regular post that isn't just updates on my life, I will get around to thinking of some regular posts. Most likely, maybe, eventually it will happen.
If any of you are bored I would suggest going and watching some youtubers. Like Kingsley, or Tyler Oakley, or Thatcherjoe, or Zoella, or Alfie, or Marcus Butler, or JacksGap. There are a lot. oh and Casper Lee. Each youtuber is a little different, so I would suggest checking some out and finding ones you like!! If you want to check them out I will link to them!! I really like watching them!! Its something to look forward to every week. Just like watching Switched at Birth, or the Fosters, or other TV shows that I like to watch!!
Anyyy whoooo. Check out some youtubers, let me know who you like!! I'm gonna go now, have a good day!!

Bittersweet
Tomorrow is my last day of school for the year! I am super excited that I have made it through the year and now I only have 2 more years of high school!! But it is also bittersweet. I don't want to leave my friends for the summer. I am going to miss everyone so much!! I know I can easily hang out with them and get together with them but we see each other at school everyday and now we wont see each other as much. *pouty face*.
Tomorrow I just have my French final at 10 then after a couple of my friends and I are going out to lunch then hanging out after lunch.
And then tomorrow night I have to go play with the band and orchestra at graduation. This is also bittersweet because I have to say goodbye to all my senior friends, which believe it or not there are actually a couple. My neighbor is graduating tomorrow and I am going to be super sad. She was one of the people I looked up to growing up and now she's not going to be just next door anymore.
Tomorrow is just simply going to be a bittersweet day. I haven't even said goodbye to all of my friends yet!! I probably won't even see all of them tomorrow!! I made so many this year too and they have all become so important to me!! At least I know I don't have to say goodbye to my best friend, for a while I thought I was going to have to but she's staying with me! yay!! Her and I have so many plans for the summer its unreal, and about 90% of them won't happen what whatever:) I'm just glad she decided not to leave me:) because I would be very, very, very sad.
I better be off to bed!! Good night everyone!!

Be Me?
I wrote this one day in study hall, I didn't have any homework to do and I had a lot on my mind, so I figured I'd share it because I kind of like it. The explains a lot of my thoughts perfectly.
Be Me?
Everyday of your life you are told to be yourself. You are told that nothing else matter as long as you are being yourself. But how can you be yourself if you have no idea who you are. You have no idea what your identity is, and how are you able to discover yourself if you don't know who you are? How do you find your place in this world? How can you be yourself when every move you make is being watched and judged by others? How can you be yourself when your not allowed to be you? We are always told to sit up, dress in nice cloths, keep quiet, be mature, act your age, but yet we are told to be ourselves? How can we be ourselves when we are constantly told what we should and shouldn't do? We are told this is how you should look, it is how you should do your hair, you should eat this and wear that. How do you be yourself when your identity is lost, even to you? How can you be yourself when you cant even do the things you want? Or act as you please? or dress the way you want to? How can you be yourself when you can't even make decisions for yourself?
There comes a time when you just have to stand up and defend yourself. When you stand up as say No! this is what I want, this is my belief, this is me. There comes a time when enough is enough and you break that wall and finally stop listening to others and the bullshit and finally know who you really are. Not who you friends tell you to be, not who your family tells you to be, not who society tells you to be, but you are finally who you are, you are yourself. You finally can tell yourself this is me.
