Subgenre PBR&B: Music For Hip Romantics

So there's this new label for music (new to me) that caught my attention called PBR&B. It's a genre in music that is heavily coated with copious amounts of smooth Peanut Butter.

Not really. It really stands for Pabst Blue Ribbon... Rhythm And Blues. The name comes from the stereotypical favoring of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer from hipsters. This derivative of R&B is also known as alternative or hipster R&B. Could be derogatory. Most think so. It's a little clever, but not clever enough.

Mind Blowing Music (1): With My Eyes Closed

Hey people. So this is where I share the latest songs (by exposure to my life and not necessarily by release date) I think are worth listening to. This is kind of like my first series of playlists, "Songs I've had suck in my head for days," but I wanted to change the title because this makes the songs seem a lot more intriguing, and less like... gum inflicted in your sutures or something. But ultimately, it's the same concept. Sing along if you know the words. ^_^

I'll Never Be Sober

On January 10th, one of the most artistic music videos (ever seen... by my heart) was released on Youtube. Click here for the video.

Review: My Dinner with Andre

At my local library, I found this very interesting film. All I knew about the movie was based on the cover of the DVD: a standard plate that can be found at the average restaurant. The description said that they discuss topics that, basically, are not bought up in the average conversation. I was intrigued, and checked it out of the library with much enthusiasm.

Why "The Host" is One of the Best

Like any other movie that originates from a book, this movie was an undisputed masterpiece. I watched about a week ago for my second anniversary with Red-box (free movie promo), and I had to watch it in sequences due to my schedule, but believe me when I say that I made sure to use every free moment to finish the movie. Once I finished the movie, I couldn't believe how great it was. I watched the movie 2.5 times (I fell asleep, so I can't say a full three times). If you're wondering, no it was not consecutive.

The Songs I've Had Stuck in my Head for Days 2

Aww yeah!!! Now I know what you're thinking (or at least I'm sure you've thought it just a little bit): didn't you just do this a while ago? Yes, I did. This is basically a sequel. I just wanted to share with you some more music that I have in my head. Those other ones I still appreciate, but since then, I have discovered some more songs and they are awesome. I'm excited to share so... here we go:

The Songs I've Had Stuck in my Head for Days

For the past few months, I've realized that some of the strangest songs can get stuck in my head not only all day, but possibly all week. It is the most annoying thing I can ever experience. It's okay if I actually like the song, but if I don't like it and I catch myself singing or rapping it, it's the worst. Even the songs that I actually like becomes something similar to a agonizingly horrible alarm clock that goes off every five minutes. Nothing that I would wish on anyone.

Noteworthy Content from Romeo and Juliet

In school, we read the classic play Romeo and Juliet (written by William Shakespeare). Once again, it's one of those books that I've heard of but never was all that interested in. I didn't even know it was a book! I just thought it was a play. But lo and behold, all the students were given the play in book form. We didn't have to do projects like for Lord of the Flies, so the most we did was essay quizzes and discussions.

How My Helicopter became Helogan T. Cardwell

For a while, I wanted a remote control helicopter (don't ask me why. It just felt like one of things that you can picture yourself having). I knew it would be interesting to have, since it is a flying apparatus in the palm of my hand. I figured I could use it to send messages into other rooms, as opposed to using texts, or simply my voice.

4 Things You Should Know About Les Miserables

A while ago I watched Les Miserables. I was interested in it since it received a bunch of good ratings by movie critics. Plus a friend of mine said that it was a good musical, so I decided to check it out.

Coffee: Dream or Nightmare?

There's something that I cannot come to an agreement with myself about. I started drinking coffee a couple of years ago, and I absolutely love it. However technically, I am not of the age group where coffee is suppose to be consumed, therefore I am afraid that it will be a problem (or that what everyone tells me about drinking coffee as a minor is true). I really don't see the problem with it, but I guess it is worth looking into.

Naruto Review: It Finally Came!!!

So the game finally came on Friday, December 21st, and I was eager to open it. I couldn't believe that it was finally in the palm of my hand! I even recorded myself opening it, putting the disc into the Wii, and watching the opening credits. I knew it was about to be awesome. :-p

Lord of the Flies: Inside the Book

So recently, I had to read a novel of my choice (from the list of novels selected for my class) in a certain amount of time. The book would have 2 quizzes to it and a novel project in the end. Out of the selection of books, I hose Lord of the Flies. I mainly chose it because my mother suggested it to me since she read it when she was in high school. Another reason I read this was because it was the least depressing out of the other novels (a few of the other ones were A Separate Peace, Jane Eyre, and To Kill a Mockingbird). I tried to read this book years ago, but I just couldn't get around to it. I guess it just had to be assigned to me (I don't know), but I finally read it.

The Hunger Games Review


The Hunger Games (THG) is one of the best books and movies I've ever seen. The books were well written and the movie portrayed the book to capture the drama and suspense of the story to a perfect degree. There are a lot of good things that I liked about THG, however, there were some complications that I have to mention.
