It's been forever, I know

Hey guys!

If anyone is still checking on here to see if I post anything, thank you for your dedication.  For anyone who hasn't, I am glad that you didn't have to see that I have no life

OK, now what do I talk about?  My life is actually kind of boring right now.  I'm starting school...eh..eventually.  I'm actually kind of excited!  My history is gonna be da BOMB this year!  I'm learning all about the West v.s. Communism!  Plus, it also teaches you how to detect Communism.....amazing.

Yeah, besides school starting my life is pretty much void of anything entertaining.  So I am gonna talk about things that aren't concerning my life!

This is REALLY random, but right now I am listening to "The Show Must Go On" by Queen, and in the verses, Freddie Mercury just totally reminds me of Barry Manilow!  It's INSANE!  Don't believe me?  Well then listen to the dang song yourself!

He does TO sound like Barry Manilow!

Now, if you have absolutely no IDEA who Barry Manilow is or what he sounds like, this is completely pointless to you.  But you can just listen to the song anyways, it's really good

Yeah, so the reason I'm bringing-up Queen is because recently I've become quickly addicted to their music (I guess I am going to be talking about my life).  I mean, I've always loved Queen, but I honestly only knew like three of their songs.  How sad is that?  But I can't say that anymore!  My mom had a cd of a bunch of their songs and I started listening to it yesterday.  I like immediately fell in love with it!!!!!  I have been listening to it over and over again!  I am so excited to get my new iPod, because I am going to PUMP it with Queen music!  Plus, I'm having a party soon, and I am gonna BLAST IT, BABY!!!!!  WOO HOO!!!!!

OK, I had to change the paragraph because I was getting way too hyper. 

I might as well elaborate more on my new iPod, huh?  I have nothing else to talk about

Last Friday, I ordered myself a brand new iPod!  My old one, to put it nicely, is a dinosaur.  I mean really, the poor thing's battery only lasts for 30 minutes tops.  So, as sad and painful as it is, I took the liberties of replacing it.  It stinks, though, because that iPod got me through the hardest part of my life!  I know, this sounds really weird because I'm talking about an inanimate object and all, but it's true!  But anyways, the new one is an 80 gig iPod Classic...but it's refurbished, so they made it all pretty again   Now if you're wondering "How much better is this new one than your old one?", lemme put it this way: my old one was 2 gig and couldn't hold any videos.  Does that explain it better for you?  Yeah, I thought it would.

Hmm...I'm trying to think of what else to say. 

OH!  I know.  I used to have my whole "Maria's Song of the Day" thingy.  You know what, as I just typed that, it occurred to me: that segment name is so lame!!!!!  I was, what, 15 when I came up with that?  HA!  Total failure.  So we're gonna shake things up a little bit and change the name.  Now, what to change it to.....how about "Songs Needed To Survive"?  Nah, that sounds like something they would say in like "Lord of the Rings: The Musical".  It's like Gandalf comes out singing and is all like "You neeeeed to destroy the riiiing, and you can use this song to surviiiiiiive!!!!!".  OK, ADD moment right there.  Alright, I'll change the name some other time, I changed my mind. 

But anyways, the song.  Didn't I kind of already give you guys a song?  I don't care, I'll give you another one, because I'm so nice

This song is called "Under Pressure" by Queen, and this song pretty much makes absolutely no sense.  I don't care, though, because songs that make sense are just totally over-rated.  OH!  And while you're at it, listen really closely to the tune of the song from like 2:54 until 3:24.  It sounds so FAMILIAR to me for some reason!  I want to see if anyone recognizes it and can tell me what song it's in.

Pressure! Pushing down on me, pushing down on you...


OK, I'm done for today.  I'll hopefully post something else very soon. 

BYE!!!!!

The Depth of My Mind

Hola everybody! 

Okidoke, for some reason I started feeling pretty deep yesterday afternoon.  It is very soothing.  But then last night when I wanted to be deep by writing in my book, I couldn't do it.  It's terrible, I'm NEVER going to be able to finish writing that thing!

Now today, I am going to try and make up for all of that on here.  It's pretty much going to be just a random draining of my thoughts, so if you feel like it's boring, please don't feel like you have to read it.

Recently, I have been pondering on different scenarios of how God puts people in your life for a reason.  None of the examples are the same.  Each person is in my life, past or present, for a different reason. 

There was someone I used to know who I really cared about, but throughout my time of knowing him, he really hurt me and broke my heart.  It was a long, painful, and messed up time in my life.  I was really stupid for letting it happen in the first place.  So, mostly last year and some of this year, I had wished that none of it never happened.  The thing is, now that I think about it, if none of it happened I wouldn't be the same person that I am today.  That scenario made me a stronger person, a smarter person, and hate to say it, a more confident person.  I really feel as if God put him in my life to, I guess, teach my a lesson the hard way.  I think it was what I needed, because after that I kind of get a whole new perspective on life.  It took away my naivety that was pulling me down so hard.  I really hate admitting it, but I am kind of glad that it happened to me when it did.

After that situation that I mentioned above, I met a friend of mine who helped me so much with the recovery without even knowing it.  I mean, that was a hard wound to mend, and it helped so much to meet someone so nice and friendly right after the situation I just went through.  That was a year ago, and to this day I still feel as if he's one of my best friends.  I guess what he helped me with will always stay in my mind.

I also met someone else, another good friend of mine, who was another large amount of help to me.  I was going through a semi-depressing, confusing, and bi-polar time in my life.  None of my other friends really had much to say about it, but this person did.  This friend understood what I was going through, and really helped me get through it.  It took a little while, but throughout the process I really felt closer to this friend.  They really helped me, and I will be eternally grateful. 

Within the past few weeks, I had some, let's say "troubles" with a very close friend of mine.  I felt as if I was losing this friend.  I did something I never thought I would have to do--call this person out on it.  It really made me upset because of things that I felt I had to say.  At first, they didn't really understand why I did it.  Then last night this person said that what I did really helped them and changed them.  That meant the world to me to know this person felt that way. 

The point I'm trying to make is that most people in your life don't just come in and out for nothing, it's always for a reason.  It could, and most likely will, take some time and thinking to realize what that reason is, but it's worth it.

Wow, how's that for deep?  It really feels good to be able to say all of that.

Alright, I'm done now.  If you decided to read this, thank you.

A Sad Loss

Hello everybody!

The reason for my title is because in the past week we have lost 4 icons in the entertainment business.  It really is a sad thing, but mostly shocking. 

The first person to go was Ed McMahon.  He was a very big TV icon who has been around forever!  That wasn't too much of a shock to me, though, because I honestly thought he was already dead.  I know, that's really bad, but the man was like a million years old!

Next was Farah Fawcett.  That was kind of a shock to me, considering she was only 60 years old.  Poor lady.  She was a very good Catholic, I heard.  Everyone will miss her, she was a huge 70's icon.

The same day, which absolutely caught me by surprise was the death of The King of Pop, Michael Jackson!  I was upstairs in my parents' room, and my brother came up and he's like "Michael Jackson's dead!"  I was SHOCKED!!!!!  The only thing that came out of this for me is that now I am obsessed with Michael Jackson songs.  It's very sad, but I don't care because I am enjoying it! 

Now the worst loss for me was Billy Mays.  On Sunday, after I came out of Mass, I checked my phone.  I had a text from one of my friends that said "BILLY MAYS DIED!!!" and I did NOT believe it!  Then while I was at a party later that day, I heard someone else say that he died!  I was like "Did he seriously die?" and they said "Yeah".  I was actually kinda sad!  But honestly I was more scared than sad!  Four people died in 3 days!  That was SCARY, man!!!!!  After he died, I realized that I was really gonna miss the guy.  He was the King of Infomercials!  I will never be able to look at my tub of oxy-clean the same way again.

I know I am really late with all of this, but honestly I don't care. 

So on Monday night, I was thinking about all these people dying.  They were all huge icons!  I wonder who is going to go next?  What other big stars are there that are worthy enough to be called icons?  I can't really think of any right now, but I don't feel like thinking.  Comment if you can think of any.

So I added more songs to my playlist.  And yes, some are Michael Jackson songs.  You will be hearing a lot of him for awhile, because I am addicted to his music right now.  I am ESPECIALLY addicted to "Billie Jean" for some odd reason!  It always makes me want to dance.  LOL!

OK, well I'm done for now.  Goodbye world.

ALIVE!!!!! Oh, and other things, too.

Hey hey hey!!!

Yeah, it's been a little while since I posted something last.  Oh well.

So on Thursday I went to this AMAZING festival called ALIVE!  It was INSANE!  I saw four different bands: Seabird, Seventh Day Slumber, Anberlin, and Super Chick.  It was so much fun!  The music was great, I hung out with my friends, and it was just all around awesome!

Besides music, they also had a water slide and a lake and stuff like that.  Now there's a funny story about the water slide.  My brothers went on it and they're like "Oh my gosh, you HAVE to go on the water slide, it's SO much fun!"  So I decided to go on it.  IT WAS THE SLOWEST WATER SLIDE I HAVE EVER BEEN ON IN MY LIFE!  I'm not even kidding you, it was SAD!  And to top it off, I kept getting stuck!  It was terrible!

Well that's about it for ALIVE.  Except for the fact that I got a sunburn.....BUT I ALSO GOT A TAN!  I am no longer white and nerdy....I am tan and, well, nerdy.

OK, I found this video the other night and it is honestly one of the best and funniest youtube videos I have seen in my life!

Best Video EVER!

OK, I guess that's it.  Oh, and yes, I changed my blog playlist again....BECAUSE I WANTED TO!

Um....maaaaaybe

Hey hey heeeey!!!

Alright, so yesterday my anonymous fan person asked me if I could post one of my old songs on here.  Right now I'm still debating if I should or not.  It's been so long since I wrote them and they are really weird and pretty stupid.  I'm thinking about it. we'll see. 

The thing is, I have only let like one or two people see my songs, and that was enough.  The reason I wrote these songs was because of a confusing and stupid situation.  The songs are kind of personal right now, but posting one or two might help in the whole venting-to-soothe process.  Yeah, it can be a good thing now that I think about it.  But I'm not going to post it in this blog entry, I'll post a new one today. 

Alright, I've made up my mind, I guess I'll post one.  Just gotta figure out which one to post.

Why can't I write a decent song anymore?

Hey guys.

OK, so last night I was talking to my friend about something, and she said it was so interesting that I should write a song about it.  I was thinking "OK, I've written songs before, let's try it".  Later, I had my notebook and my pencil ready to write a song, but nooooo!  I couldn't think of ANYTHING!  I mean, I knew what to write it about, just not how to put it.  I mean I was completely CLUELESS!  I felt so....empty!  I guess the things I was trying to say just wouldn't sound right as a song.  Or I would write it and it would be totally cheesy.  Well, it's not like anyone's gonna see it or anything, it's just....I don't like cheesy songs! 

I used to write SO many songs back in 2007.  I mean every WEEK almost I had a new one!  I guess 2007 was just such a hecktic year that I had more to write about than the past two years.  Plus, I had more of an imaginaiton back then, too.

So, as you might have guessed, I gave up.  I have no patience. 

OK, I'll post more later.  Bye!

Um.....INSERT TITLE HERE.....yeah, not so much

Hello readers (if there are any of you left)!

Yeah, nothing's really happened since my last post.  But I'm sure I'll fine something to talk about.

I'm sitting at my computer desk drinking my white chocolate coconut cream coffee.  Yeah, it's really good! 

I have a cough......and a cold.....and asthma problems.

I want to play "Say Goodbye" by Skillet on the piano, but I can't find sheet music.....gotta learn it on my own now.

Right now I am addicted to the song "Urgent" by Foreigner.....it's weeeeeiiiiirrrrrd.

OK, you're probably wondering why I am saying all this random stuff.  It's leading to something, I swear. 

I am going to post a random video for you guys!  And when I say random, I really mean random.  I guess you'll just have to watch it to see what I mean.  I bet you're wondering what this has to do with me, though, right?  Well....I am the girl with the brown hair in the video!  And my friend is just as strange as I am! 

The world's most random video

So what do ya think?  Yeah, it's special.

Um, well I don't know what else to say.....that's a first for sure! 

OK, I'll post more soon.  Bye!

Strange Dreams......

Hola mi amigos/amigas!

So yeah, the past two days I've been having some pretty.....well let's just say interesting dreams.  I seriously think it's because of my inhaler that I've had to take before bed the past two nights.  What, do you have a better reason than that?  Yeah, didn't think so.  OK, anyways, I'll tell you about my dreams......well.....some about them

Thursday night's dream was really, I mean REALLY weird!  There was this movie that was like a horror/thriller type movie that possessed people when they watched it.  The people would like have to sit on these weird mat type things while watching the movie, and it was so CREEPY!  It was like the occult!  And the movie ITSELF was pretty creepy, too!  The main character died like 5 times in these terrible brutal ways!  I just woke up HORRIFIED! 

So last night's dream wasn't scary, just a little strange.  But yeah, I don't really wanna say what it was about, because......well, I just don't want to.  I'll just tell you that I thought it was real, but too good to be true, and it was really great, but I know it will never happen.  Yeah, so there ya go

OK, while you're reading this you might have noticed the change in music on my page.  I kind of figured that people were getting sick and tired of my selection of Michael Buble songs.  It's understandable, not many people my age enjoy big band swing.  So I changed it to something.....well different.  It's my montage of 80's songs!  I recently went down to Columbus, and I made a cd with all of these songs on it, and I can't stop listening to them now!  It's so funny!  And I have seriously been walking around singing these songs!  Like last night, I slept over at my friend's house, and I kept singing "Urgent".  She was like "If it's so urgent, just go".  Yeah, she doesn't understand this curse that has been bestowed upon me by my mother.

OK, I need to start a new paragraph to explain this one.  This curse I'm talking about is that I sing like all the time!  And if someone says something that reminds me of a song, I start singing that song.  And if it's not the exact words, I just make up words to a song!  So yeah, I'm sure you can see how that gets annoying sometimes.  I used to always hate it when my mom did it, now I'm doing it to.  It's so weird.

Alrighty, I guess I don't have to post "Maria's Song of the Day" now because I just totally changed my blog playlist.  So that saves me the time of thinking of a good song, going to youtube, getting the link, and posting it on here.  HAHA!  I know, I'm making it seem like a big deal, it's not.

I guess this means I'm done for today!  Hope you enjoyed it!  Oh, and as summer comes along, I should be posting more often because school will be out. 

See ya later!
Maria

AMERICAN IDOL FINALE!!!!!

Hola everybody!

So as you can tell from my title, it's the day of the American Idol season finale!  It's between Adam and Kris, and I REEEEEAAAAALLLLLY want Kris to win!  Sure, Adam's voice is better, but WHO CARES?  Is this show ever really about talent anyways?  I mean, Fantasia (I call her Mantasia) won!  LOL!

OK, so last night's Idol was very interesting.  The contestants were sang very well.....there was just one thing that really annoyed me:  THE STUPID WINNING SONG!  Kara Dioguardi (however you spell that) co-wrote this song called "No Boundaries", and it is RIDICULOUSLY STUPID!  The lyrics don't make sense, the whole over-all message is lame, and it's just BORING!  I wrote better songs when I was 14!  Heck, I wrote better ones when I was 13!  And if you know me, you know that's not a good thing.  So yeah, I had to hear the stupid song twice last night because both Kris and Adam had to sing it.  And to make it all worse, I have to hear it AGAIN tonight!!!!!  So stupid, I'm telling ya!

Tonight they are gonna pick the winner and I am really excited!  But the stupid show goes on for 2 hours, so that means there will be PLENTY of singers singing, as well.  Now if I'm lucky, it'll be good.  The thing is, I'm sure they'll have at least one stupid little diva pop star singing.  I am NOT looking forward to that!  American Idol should only allow GOOD singers on they're show, and everyone else should just sit in the audience. 

I think my rant is over.....OK, moving on.

So yeah, the dance is on Saturday and I am SO phsyced!  I have my dress (it's red!) and I just want to skip Thursday and Friday and go STRAIGHT to 5:00 Saturday night!   I am aiming for dancing with 40 guys this year.  Last year I danced with 20, but this year I am gonna look a heck of a lot better and I know more people!  So yeah, it's pretty much gonna be the bomb!

Alrighty, time for a song!  Oh, and the annonymous person who keeps commenting, I am glad that you liked my last song! 

Awesomely awesome song!!!!!

OK, well that's about all I have for now.  Gotta go practice piano.  Later!!!!!

Maria

I did it again, did't I?

Hello people who still look at my blog!

I have been SO busy lately that I haven't posted in forever!  SO SORRY AGAIN!  I am really bad at this.

So I guess the last thing I mentioned was the dance, huh?  Well it was a blast!  Both were!  And I have another one in a couple of weeks: the one where you dance with all the guys (girls if you are of the masculine gender) that you can!  I am SO stoked!  I have a dress and EVERYTHING!

So what's new with me you might be wondering.....

Well right now I am trying this weird diet for the heck of it.  There is this list you have to follow that tells you what to eat for each mean each day.  And seriously, this is making me HUNGRY!  It involves a lot of protein, which is supposed to hold you over for awhile, but yeah....not so much.  I ate chicken, like two pieces, for lunch today.  Two hours later, my stomach's growling!  Yeah, EPIC FAIL!  So now I'm sitting here eating half a grape fruit and the juice is splashing all over the computer screen....always smart.  The ONLY reason I am doing this is because it's only for two weeks and it says you will lose 20 pounds.  FAT CHANCE.....no pun intended. 

So today I need to give you alls a song, huh?  OK, this song is AMAZING!  I know some of you will be like "Ohmagooooosh, what is that?", but yeah, DEAL WITH IT!

BEST SONG EVER

OK that's all I have right now.  BYE!

HI!

  Hey guys!  I've totally lost track of my blog posts!  SO sorry I've been off for so long!!!!!

  So not much new is going on on this end.  I figured out and fixed the situation in my last blog post.  Just had some help from friends and then I got through.

  Well, no I guess I'll just talk about stuff that's been going on recently.  Tonight I'm going to a Father/Daughter dance.  I've been going for the past 6 years!  It's always a lot of fun.  And then in March I'll be going to another dance.  I have some funny stories about the last dances I went to.....I tend to have dress-code problems.

  So last April I went to my first dance.   I got a nice non-formal dress to wear.  So I got to the dance and all the girls were wearing formal gowns and had their hair fixed and EVERYTHING!  I felt SO weird!!!  And to top it all off, no one asked me to dance!!!  Can you say "social reject"?

  Then in May I went to another dance.  It said it was a "semi-formal", so I though "OK, so I guess I'll just wear somewhat dressy but not formal clothes."  So I get there and YET AGAIN all the girls are decked-out with their fancy-schmancy dresses.  UGH!!!!!  You see, at the April dance there were only like 12 girls, but at the May one, there were like 45!!!!!  I felt SO wrong!

  This dance coming up is a specified formal dance, and daggonit I am gonna get a formal dress!!!!!  I'm gonna go in there and be all like "BAM!"  Yeah, I'm a little hyper.....who cares?!?!?

  Well I guess all you guys have missed "Maria's Line of the Day" and "Maria's Song of the Day", huh???  Yeah, I thought so.  First we'll start off with "Maria's line of the day":

  "I told my doctor I broke my leg in two places...he told me to stop going to those places." ~Henny Youngman

  Yeah, you gotta love those Henny Youngman jokes!!!!! 

  Well now for "Maria's Song of the Day"......but I have waaaaaay too many to choose from!!!!!  So I have a new segment for you guys.....

*In announcer voice* "Introducing.....Maria's Recent Life Song List!!!!!"

*Applause*  (Notice how I improvise!)

I'll give a title to each song.  But you guys have to listen to the song to find out what it is!!!!!

My "Feel-good" Song

My "Addicted to and Don't Know Why" Song

My "This Song Totally Explains What I'm Going Through" Song

My "I Need To Rock-Out" Song

My "Why in the WORLD Do I Enjoy This Song So Much?" Song


  OK!!!!!  So now you guys know my latest songs!!!!!
 
  Well, that's all for now.  I'll try to post more often (and this time I'll really try LOL).  Bye!!!!!

Some thoughts from me...

Hey guys!

I know, I'm a little late with updating.  But anyhow, I have a bit to talk about.

So recently I've been having these dreams about someone (a guy, OK I'll say it).  I've had about four in the last week.  Now the first one was pretty good.  He really liked me (a little too much, it was getting annoying).  Then he proposed to me!  Weeeeeiiiiiirrrrrrrd.  I don't know what I said, though. 

  The next night I had another about him, and this time we were OK, then he got mad at me for some odd reason that I don't even know what it was.  Then we made up. 

  Then two nights later I had such an AMAZING dream about him.  I mean it was GREAT!  We were hangin and having fun like we usually do, and then it came up to the point where he was like "Do you think I'm boyfriend material?" and I said "Yes, of course you are!"  We decided that we would go out, but wait about a year before we did.  I was perfectly fine with that, I mean I was actually very pleased!!!!!  Then I woke up.  It seemed so freakin REAL!  I was depressed the WHOLE day because it wasn't real. 

  Now last night I had another dream about him.  During the whole thing he was mad at me.  He wouldn't listen to me, he wouldn't really come near me.  I kept saying "We need to talk about this, I'm sorry!  We need to figure this out."  But he didn't listen, he seemed so mad.  I started crying, he didn't care.  Then I woke up, and I was really upset.  I wondered what this meant.

  I am serious thinking that all these dreams mean something, but I don't know what.  I've been talking to my friends about this recently, some are saying one thing and others are saying a different thing.  To me it seems that these dreams show what each option that I have.  I don't know, it is really confusing me.  I mean, I know that they're only just dreams, but dreams can seem SO real that you wonder if they're based on real things.

  But anyhow, I've been thinking about it recently.  Right now I don't think too much about it, but last week that's all I thought about.  It is so weird!

  The bottom line is that I have been pressured recently, and it got on my nerves.  Peer pressure can really mess with your head. 

  Well that's all for this entry, I am going to start working on another one right now because I have more to say about a different subject, and I don't want to defeat the purpose of this one.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Hey everyone!

I cannot believe it's Christmas Eve!  My mind can't exactly fathom it, seriously.  This year went by fast, but it was amazing!  I will get into my year more on New Year's Eve.

But anyways, this was a pretty bland Advent this year.  I was so busy with other things that I totally lost track.  We didn't make Christmas cookies this year, it was upsetting.  I didn't even get to help decorate the tree.  So I am hoping that tomorrow is great!  And I am celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas to get my fill.

I made a playlist today of Christmas songs (which I will post on here).  It has new versions of songs and, of course, the amazing old versions!  They are the ones that started it all and I am in love with them!  I am listening to it right now (turned up really loud).  I may wanna turn it down considering I am playing Tran-Siberian Orchestra right now.  Naaaaah, I love it!  I'm turning it up, baby!!!!!

OK, so back to subject.  Tomorrow I am excited because it will be the first time I'm singing in the choir for Christmas!!!  Then after church we are going to our grandparents' house for the rest of the day and night.  Our family is coming over there too, and it will be so much fun!  We'll probably play Rock Band a lot of the night!  I asked for a camera for Christmas, so I will hopefully take a bunch of pictures and videos. 

I just love Christmas, it is really great!  It is my favorite holiday!  I love the music so much, so I am gonna change my whole playlist to Christmas music on here!!!!

Well, Merry Christmas everybody, and I'll see you all after Christmas!!!

I have solved one of life's mysteries!

Hey all!

  OK get this.  So yesterday I was at WalGreens and there's this lady in front of me in the line, and one of the things she is buying is shaving cream.  And guess what the brand name was.....BARBASOL!!!!!  I was thinking "YES!!!!!  IT'S ALL SO CLEAR TO ME NOW!"  Now all I need is a magic mustache, and all my dreams will have come true. 

  But seriously, why in the heck would he write a song about a brand of shaving cream???  I have listened to that song so many times, and I am going to note some parts of the song that may give the reason for the very odd title.

"I thought I made it home, but I threw it all away."  -He obviously thought he brought home the barbasol, but he accidentally threw it away.

"I feel sick, I feel nervous, I know just what I did to deserve this." -That's because you ate the shaving cream you turd head!!!!!

"...bloody nose, consequences of what I chose." -He cut his nose with the razor because he chose to shave with his eyes closed =P

  And that is why David Cook named his song "Bar-Ba-Sol". 

  Well that's all I have for tonight because it's after 10 and I am soon to be kicked-off.  Later!

Hey guys!

  So right now I feel sick, like SERIOUSLY!  Like sick to my stomach, it just SUCKS!  It's 12:14 and I have already finished more than half of my school!  Awesome!  Now I can write my blog, go lay down, and possibly puke if I need to.

  Yesterday I had a piano lesson and I absoluetly FAILED!!!  It was like an epic fail, seriously!  He wasn't very happy at all.  That wasn't fun :'(

  Soooo...how did you all like my last blog entry???  Was it good?  Did ya like the songs???  LOL!  Well I am gonna post a really good song today.  It's a David Cook song called "Bar-Ba-Sol".  Now honestly, what the heck does "Bar-Ba-Sol" mean?!?!!?  I keep wondering!  I want you guys to comment and tell me what you think it means and why in the world you think he named it that.  What is it, like an inside joke or something?  It's like "This one goes out to little Bobby from 8th grade." and he's going "YEAH DAVID!!!  You remembered our joke!".  I mean COME ON!  David Cook, pleeeeaaaaasssse tell me what "Bar-Ba-Sol" means!

Hello!

Hey guys!

So how was your guys' Thanksgiving?  Mine was fun!  I stayed up 'til after 1 A.M., so I've been pretty tired the past few days.

Oh my gosh, I canNOT believe that it's two days until December starts!!!  The year went by WAY to fast!  Soon I'll be moving, then I'll be 16 (which rocks, btw lol), then...oh it just went by too fast!!!!! 

OK, yeah so I forgot that I used to have "Quote of the Day", so I might as well do that now, huh? 

"Is this the moment where I look you in the eyes?  Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry." ~Permanent - David Cook

I just LOVE that song!!!!!  It's so amazing!  David Cook's new cd is just GREAT!  If you get a chance, go out and get it because it's worth it.

Alright, so today I am gonna post two MORE "Maria's Song of the Day" links!!!!!  These are great!

HEY! Been awhile!

Hello guys!

  Based on popular demand, I have decided to continue my blog and probably post in it more often.  It's kinda cool that my friends and someone I possibly don't even know (still don't know, apparently my "SHOW THYSELF" blog didn't amount to jack-squat) is reading about my life.  I mean, during the summer it was interesting, but not as good after school has started.

  Well, I could always talk about the not-so-happy things that go on in my life.....like the moving   So I think that I could be moving sometime soon, and it's not so fun.  I mean, it's for a good reason, cuz everything happens for a reason, but it upsets me at the same time.  I have so many amazing friends, and a lot of them are fairly new, but I am gonna miss them just as much.  I am not sure exactly when we're going, but I just really want to go after my 16th birthday.  I mean, how stupid would it be having my birthday there???  Um, pretty suckish if you ask me!

OK, so recently both David Cook and David Archuleta released their new albums and they are totally AMAZING!  I bought David Archuleta's cd the day it came out and David Cooks the day after it came out.  IT WAS SNOWING FOR PETE'S SAKE!  Geez!  LOL!!!!!  But anyways, I absolutely love the songs on both of them!  So in honor of the two Davids, I am going to post TWO "Maria's Song of the Day" songs, my favorite song from each album!  YAY!  How lucky are you guys???  LOL

Favorite David Cook Song

Favorite David Archuleta Song

So probably by the next entry, I will have a story for you guys!  Me and one of my closest friends wrote it!  It is really weird, but I wanna share it

Well, if I have anything more, I will post it later, I just wanna get this up really quick so I don't let you guys down anymore.

HOLLAR!

If My Life Were A Musical.....

HEY YO!!!

So have you ever wanted your life to be a musical???  I think that it would be totally cool!!!  Now it wouldn't be all happy-go-lucky mushy gushy like High School Musical if it were MY life, though.  Yeah, I'm not that fortunate, and that's a movie so they make it like that   Anyways.....I got this random idea to try to explain what my life would be if it were a musical.  I have no idea how I'm gonna do this or how it will turn out so bear with me and I'm sorry in advance if it sucks.  OK, I don't know how to do this.  Uuuuhhh, how about I'll just metion the songs that would be in my life's musical.  THERE we go!  LOL

"Dear Maria, Count Me In" (the song of my life)

"All We Are" -OneRepublic (one of the biggest songs in the musical, used for the upsetting scenes lol)

"Crush" -David Archuleta (big part of the musical, it's the looooove theme lol.  I know, I'm dorky)

"Through the Fire and the Flames" -Dragon Force (I don't know why...I just rock like that lol)

"SuperGirl" -Saving Jane (I am so super it's not funny)

"Balance" -Axium (you're my sense of balance for the rest of my life....it's a strange situation)

"Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" -Paula Abdul (I enjoy just partyin' around lol)

"Don't Stop Believin" -Journey (this would be like the ending song, cuz everyday I gotta tell myself this lol)

"Beat It" -Fall Out Boy (again, cuz I just rock like that)

"Disturbia" -Rihanna (I find myself all the time just singing "bom bom be dum bom bom be dom dom" lol)

"I Will Survive" -Gloria Gaynor (I have many situations where I need this song in my mind lol)

"Shattered (Turn The Car Around)" -OAR (I need to stop turnin' the car around)

Yeah, that would be the soundtrack of the "Maria Cook Musical".  Although...there might be bonus tracks, but only on certain days (lol).

So I think for "Maria's Song of the Day" I will put on of my soundtrack songs!!!

CLICK HERE TO HEAR A PRETTY OFTEN SOUNDTRACK SONG

OK, now you know what songs are in my life!!!  If you can think of any to add (I want more from the peeps I know!!!), comment and tell me 'em

LATAAAAAH!!!

Election Day tomorrow...I am very scared for my country

Hey guys,
Due to anonymous requests, I am posting another blog.

Tomorrow is Election Day and I am PRAYING and FASTING that Barack Obama doesn't win.  I probably wouldn't be able to recognize America if he won!!!  It is scary.

So our group the Pro-Life Youth Congress has a youtube page with a video about our group on it.

PLEASE WATCH!!!!!

I thought we did a pretty darn good job, don't ya think???

I absolutely CAN'T believe it's November already!!!!!  It's crazy how the year flies by, isn't it???  This year was amazing, though!!!

So I guess in honor of my past traditions, I need to post a "Maria's Song of the Day", don't I???

CLICK HERE FOR THE ONLY JO BRO SONG I LIKE

So I went to a Right To Life dinner Saturday and it was so much fun!!!  Near the end me and my friends took all the balloons and sucked the helium out of them and sang songs and said funny stuff.  It was hysterical!!!  Then yesterday I went to a Sarah Palin rally and she was DA BOMB!!!!!  You gotta love her!!!

Well, I really don't know what else to say right now.  Hope you (you know who you are) are glad I posted another blog entry =D 

If you don't mind, anonymous person, please tell me who you are cuz it's driving me crazy that I don't know!!!!!  LOL

Latah!!!
