I'm With You

2011-09-12T12:22:00.000-04:00

Due to some random youtubing, I found myself watching Avril Lavigne's new music video for "Wish You Were Here." That video was a part of an automatic playlist and the next video that started playing was from her Live AOL sessions.

I never thought Avril Lavigne was able to sing that well live, but I was really impressed with her during these videos. So much so that I pulled out my sketchbook. I found a picture that I liked and sketched it out, and while the final outcome doesn't look too much like Avril, I think the resemblance is there. The more draw and the more practice I get, the more my portraits will look like they are intended to look. So, looks like more practice for me!

And here are a couple of those videos from her AOL Sessions that inspired my Avril mood.

Thank you Chris Moore.

Yesterday I became the pround owner of a brand new (used) car! When I started my car hunt, the first car I saw online that interested me was a bright blue Aveo. I went to test drive it, and at the dealership Chris Moore told me about this lonely Elantra that's been sitting next to the blue Aveo for quite some time. He was telling me how its original owner was an older woman who stopped driving it as soon as her husband passed and started using his car. It sat in her garage for a while before she finally sold it. I've always heard that you should aim to get and ex-old person's car since they take great care of them. I decided to take it for a spin and I really really liked it. You can't stop at your first crush though, you need to keep looking to see if its the one. I looked at a few other cars including some Ford Focuses and a couple other fuel efficient cars.

Let me tell you about one experience with a Ford Focus I found. Well, first warning sign, it was a 2010 with about 35-40 thousand miles that only cost $9000. Then when my dad and I got to where it was located (Star Auto Group in Melvindale) we walked around the tiny lot and found the car. We were looking through its windows when the owner of the lot came walking out towards us speaking Arabic into his phone and taking breaks in between is long winding Arabic convo to answer some questions. Warning sign number 2? He barely spoke English. We'll test drive it though. What if this is a hidden gem? It wasn't. As we pulled off the lot the low gas light lit up. Guess we can't drive it too much. Then I look up and notice the dome light looked odd. I push up on it to test the lights and it fell out of the ceiling! Danger sign 3: the car is falling apart from the inside out. After the brief attempt at a test drive, we walk into the building and find Chatty Cathy. He tells us about how the car is in such great shape, etc, and when I ask for a car history report, he ignores my request and hands me the title of the car and says its like brand new, never been in an accident, yadda yadda. We finally get the car history report and what does it say? Structural damage which could lead to frame instability. Goodbye Cathy.

Then I checked out Quincy and her Fiesta, which, as you know, I did not care for.

It all led me back to the Elantra.

Smells like fall.

Today was my last day of freedom. And clearly Mother Nature wanted to make damn sure I knew summer is over, so she turned down her thermostat and made me pull out a hoodie and jeans. She also swapped the pleasant summer smell for that crisp autumn air freshener. It sucks to admit summer is gone, but the smell in the air makes the anticipation for cider mills and Halloween bubble up. Listen to me whining about the "cold" weather when its probably going to be in the upper 80s later this week. I can't help it. I'm a summer baby.

I am continuing my hunt for a car, which I am starting to think is harder than hunting for Grumps. I went out to Birmingham today to test drive a Ford Fiesta, which I am surprised I wasn't crazy about. It drove a little clunky, and it was missing my beloved cruise control (and my even more beloved USB port). The owner brought her giant horse of a dog with her for "safety". The dog was big (being a Russian Terrier) but the pony tail in her hair definitely slammed the brakes on the intimidation factor. In all honesty though, I was more interested in Quincy than I was the Fiesta.

One of the best things about Nate's house in Royal Oak is the emphasis put on desert. It's thought of before dinner even enters the foyer of the mind. Today, the wondrous idea of homemade ice cream cookies came about. Nate and Pat made some kind of wonderful oatmeal raisin chocolate coconut giant cookies and we then put a block of butter pecan ice cream in between two cookies and enveloped our taste buds in something that would make the Norse Gods think mead tasted like merde pies.

Lets get this blog off the floor, shall we?

2011-09-05T00:37:00.000-04:00

I'm going to try and get back into the groove of things and get back to my blog.

I've made some pretty neat art that I want to post, and I hope to continue to make and post more art.

I don't know what direction this blog will go in, nor do I think I ever knew. It was always sort of random, and thats just how my brain works.

So you'll see some art, some of the things I like (and dislike), some tales (maybe tall?) from adventures and my ventures in life.

Stay tuned.

Today is dedicated to my good dear (one of my) best friend(s) CHELSEA KIRCHOFF. She was born 24 years ago today, and I know what you are thinking. 24?! She looks much............ younger! ;-p I enjoy bothering her about that. She is sensitive about her age. (Like the Zac Efron 30-something look alike from Real Steel.)

All in all, Chelsea is an amazing person, and I enjoy the time we spend together. I can't believe we met under a year ago. We must have been friends in a past life or something since it feels like we've known each other for much longer!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHELSEA!

Can't wait to rendezvous for some more Buffy REAL SOON!

Fun Day at the Fitch

2011-04-18T00:00:00.001-04:00

Someone returned this wonderful shirt and pants to the Fitch today. They definitely looked like they were from the 90s, but they had a receipt that said otherwise. Some might say they weren't really Abercrombie and Fitch clothing, just some "bootleg" versions with an AnF tag attached. I don't know who they are though...

As you can see, we were really productive today!

Indefinite Hiatus

2011-04-01T00:00:00.002-04:00

I've decided to put my blog on hold for a while.

Now that the semester is drawing to an end and I have finals to study for and papers to write, I think I'm going to have to focus more on my studies and less on my blog.

After school ends I might come back to the blog if I feel up to it. I'm not too sure though, because lately it's felt more like a nuisance than fun, which is why I started it.

I don't know, we'll see.

Blast From the Past: August 30, 31 2009

2011-03-28T17:31:00.000-04:00

I recently looked at my old journal I kept on my computer, looking for a reason as to why I started watching Buffy, since I have no clue what sparked my interest. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a reason, but I did some reading from when I first started and these two entries cracked me up!

August 30, 2009.

So it was a crazy day in Royal Oak. I really hope the four of us, being Amy, Betsy, Nathan, and I, get an apartment together! So much funny crap happens between us.

We went to order pizza from Green Lantern, the BEST pizza ever, and we are arguing what to put on it since we had a coupon for and XL pizza with two toppings and Nathan wanted a veg and Betsy wanted more meat. That problem solved itself when we called and the guy said that the coupon isn’t valid anymore, but we’d get the same price for the same stuff if it was only a one topping pizza, so there you go. Then when Nathan is ordering it, the guy asks if we want round or square, and Betsy, who is taking a dump, swings open the bathroom door and says “No, no, no, no, no, we are NOT getting a square pizza.” And then we all crack up.

While Betsy is on the toilet she runs out of toilet paper, so she asks for more, so I went to look and every time you opened the closet in the hallway, it would open the door to the bathroom, since they are connected. So she kept yelling asking us why were opening the door. Nathan eventually found some more toilet paper being stored downstairs for emergencies.

We go to pick up the pizza and Betsy and Nathan went in to get it, and since Nathan put the child lock on when we went to Wallmart the other day, he had to open the door for Betsy, and Amy was saying “Aw, it probably looks so nice that he’s opening the door for her,” and then you hear Betsy saying “Kiss my ass,” and the guy in the car next to them was giving them the strangest look. And then when they went inside, Nathan plopped down on the bench, not leaving Betsy any room to sit down, and must have said something smart, because Betsy smacked him upside his head.

Then we went home and had an amazing meal, and somehow Amy, Betsy, and I started talking about wrestling, which went out for hours. We talked about Lita and Stone Cold, and old matches and everything. We only stopped because Kourtney and Khloe take Miami came on so we went and watched that. Then we went out and had a bonfire, or... attempted to have a bonfire. The big log in the bowl would NOT catch on fire, probably because we were smothering the fire with all the paper that we were burning. But oh well. We were having fun just sitting out there talking. Then when we gave up trying to light the fire, we went inside and went to bed, but while we were laying there we were playing “Guess the WWE theme song,” which was fun, expect for Nathan since he never watched wrestling.

August 31, 2009.

So, today Nathan woke up before Amy, Betsy, and I of coarse, and then he came in to wake us up and did so by playing “Best of Both Worlds” and smacking Amy and Betsy’s ass. What a great wake up, haha. For some reason he let me sleep for another half an hour, and thats what is so great about him!

When I finally got up, I went out to the living room and ate some grapes and strawberries and watched Ellen with Amy and Betsy. Nathan was giving himself a haircut, which turned out--- ehhh.... He went to trim around his ears and cut off his sideburns completely, right up to his ear. It looked so goofy, so then, so he wouldn’t have such a big contrast with the rest of his hair, he shaved the rest of his head really short. Now you can’t really tell he botched it. In fact, he looks really cute with this short hair! :)

Back to the living room, Amy was talking about if we all went by our middle names, we would sound like old people. With the names Allen, Jeffery, Grace, and Ann, I think she’s right! Then The View came on and Betsy wanted the change the channel because she didn’t want to listen to those “cackling hens!” Haha!

On the way home, we went to Krispy Kream donuts and we ordered three and the lady gave us 6, for the price of 3! How awesome! We also went to Staples for the "penny sale," which must have ended since there was nothing for a penny!

I went shopping for stuff for school today with my mom and grandma. I ended up spending $129! That’s for school supplies the notebooks and pens and it’s also for personal care stuff, like shampoo and toothpaste, etc. Not bad.

College in 3 days. :’(

How fucking depressing.

HAHA.

Amy, Betsy, remember at Bets' house the other night when we were talking about wrestling again, and we mentioned how every 6 months or so we somehow end up talking about "the good 'ol days"? Here it was!! Haha.

Also, Nate, this was when Amy and Betsy spent the night, and the night Amy threw Charlie across your room, so this is the solidifying proof that Charlie was NOT left at Michigan Adventure! Therefore, something must have happened at your house!

I love reading old posts about our shenanigans! So funny!

Blah

2011-02-18T00:03:00.000-05:00

Sorry for the lack of post yesterday. I was consumed with studying for my stats exam!

Tonight I'm just blah. I need to do something creative. Play around with photoshop or something. Light my ass on fire or something.

I'm loving the warm(er) weather! It is pushing me in full force to anticipate spring time hard. I am craving shorts and flip flops and no snow.

Until then...

I think it's official, I'm a workaholic.

More Abercrombie Adventures!

2011-02-04T00:00:00.005-05:00

Yesterday morning, I went into work when I wasn't scheduled to help out my manager since some big guns were coming to grade the store.

So I got up earlier than I do for any of my classes and drove to work in a frozen car. Good thing about working in the morning is that there is always great parking available!

So I walk into the mall and see my manager and co-worker walking around. They were going to Starbucks and invited me for the walk. I joined them, and I'm glad I did, because my manager bought me a drink of my choice for coming into work just to help her! My drink of choice was a green tea soy frapp. It was delish.

Drink in hand, with about half an hour to open, I began mopping the men's side of the store. Then a girl from Hollister came and asked if I would help take out their trash, since she's never done it. I've only done it once, so I told her if she helps me, I'll help her. We got our LOADS of trash and took it to the back dumpsters. Unfortunately they were PACKED. Packed to the point where we could not fit anything into them. We still tried and broke down the cardboard boxes and just shoved it in. Then a guy came out to try to help us shove it in, but told us we should just try later after they've been emptied. Too bad we didn't have all day. So after he left, we shoved more in. THEN, some black woman came out the door and started SCREAMING at us for taking her big garbage bin that we used to wheel our trash out. We apologized, and I explained I was (wrongly) told the only other time I took out the trash that we could use it. She then put on a smile and just asked us to put it back when we were done. By the time we finished JAMMING all the trash/cardboard into the dumpsters it was 10:05. Mall opens at 10, so we figured we better wait to take out Hollisters trash and just get back to work. So we walked thru the mall to Hollister and the manager was waiting on the stoop. She then began to yell at us for being late. She was yelling at ME for keeping her employee. She said I ought to know that she needed to get back to the store by 10 so she can be in Women's 1 (since a model should always be in women's one.) She then continued to be a complete rude bitch and told me to bring them "their" dolly. First off bitch, you need to back off. I don't work for you, I was doing you and your store a favor. Second, its not your dolly, it's Abercrombies, so if we still need it, we'll use it. Now, I didn't exactly say it to her like that, but I was polite and left.

I got back to AnF and told my manager about that confrontation. She told me not to worry about it, and she is just mean and rude all the time. So I took her advice, delivered the dolly with a smile on my face. When I got back the AnF my manager was yelling at someone on the phone. Turns out she reamed that bitch a new one. Good. God, I love my manager.

Tidied up the store, then I was brought the steamer to steam some boxers. My co-worker filled up the steamer and brought it up to women's one for me. My manager told me to turn it out to let it pre-heat and when the red light went off, turn the switch to steam and come find her. So it was pre-heating for about 10 minutes, then the light went off, so I switched it to steam and went and got my manager. When we got back, it wasn't steaming, which she said was weird and to just wait a few more minutes. As I was waiting I heard these gurgling noises, so I turned around to look at it, and it started spewing water everywhere. Like projectile vomiting water. I couldn't help but laugh, because the water would come out in spurts and just shoot all over the floor. It shot water all over the new huge pictures we have on the wall, which I found hilarious, because they are beach photos, and the people in them are wet, and then the picture itself was wet. I thought to myself, 'How fun. Now they are basically 4D pictures!' I unplugged the steamer from the wall and walky-ed my manager to come help. We had a good laugh about it, then she became quite upset with my co-worker who filled it up WAY past the "do not fill past this line" line. We don't have any towels in the store, so I was brought some paper towels to sop it up. It was pretty funny. I'm glad the district manager didn't walk in to see that fiasco.

After cleaning up the water, it was time to jet from the store and to class. For only being at work for a little over three hours, it might have been the most eventful day I've had at Abercrombie!

Also, Chelsea Kirchoff has been non-stop talking about her BEST cut-out she's ever done. Go check it out!

When Snowmen Attack

2011-02-03T00:06:00.000-05:00

A slew of snowmen stampeded the Diag today. They were protesting against global warming.

In other, Abercrombie, news...
I was called in last night, since NONE of my lovely co-workers decided to come in. The only model that worked yesterday was there from 9 to 7 since no one came to work.
I scrunched the sleeves in W1 and my head manager walked in a screamed "FUCK YES. Matt, I fucking love you. The scrunching looks amazing."
It made me smile big.
Then, she asked, well kind of told me, to come in tomorrow morning even though I'm not scheduled, because two district managers are coming in. I was flattered, so I of couse said yes.
Also, I was asked to be in our store picture with other hand-picked employees. I'm not quite sure why we are getting a store picture, but I was flattered to be picked.

UM Doesn't Give Out Snow Days

2011-02-02T12:25:00.000-05:00

However, I gave my self a snow day.

I didn't go to my early classes this morning, so instead of starting my day at 9, my dad started at noon!

We didn't get the 10-13 inches we were promised though...

Finally February.

2011-02-01T00:00:00.001-05:00

Here's your chance to turn it around 2011!

Yesterday, I slipped on some ice and landed on my foot resulting in pulled muscles in my foot. At the time it didn't hurt too bad, but as the day went on it hurt more and more, and when I got home and was able to look at it, I saw it was swollen. Fun. Can't wait to walk through the blizzard tomorrow to get to my Orgo exam with my bum foot!

February is about to be one darn exciting month! This Sunday is the re-premiere of Glee, followed by another new episode Tuesday! THEN! Next Sunday (12 DAYS) is the debut of Lady Gaga's new single, Born This Way, along with her 60 Minutes special with Anderson Cooper, and her performance at the Grammys! Also Britney Spears is set to debut her music video for Hold It Against Me this month! Super exciting!

Also, my mashup, Whataya Want From Me, reached 200,000 views late last night! Flabbergasted.

Abercrombie Adventures

2011-01-31T09:37:00.000-05:00

This weekend was basically an Abercrombie fest. I worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, each day for more hours I was scheduled. I am lucky to be alive.

Friday, I was assigned to go-backs when I got there, which consists of pushing around a bin of clothes that people either a.) leave in the dressing rooms, b.) leave them piled on random tables, or c.) throw them on the ground. I was in men's one when my manager told me to keep on eye on these two shady looking middle-40s black men, just as a potential lp case. So I kept an eye on them, but then continued pushing my bin around putting back the clothes. They were in the back room, and I pushed the bin back there and when I got there, one of them said "Hell nawh." So I plopped some polos on the table and asked if I could help him. Then he went off blaming me of following him around the store because he's black and because "that white girl" (my manager) told me they were thieves. He assured me he had money and pulled out a wad on money from his pocket waving it in my face then said, "I oughtta stab you, but I'mma let you go this time..." Oh, really? Thanks for "letting me go" that time, bud... I asked him if he would like to talk to my manager, but him and his buddy left the store. Close call...

Saturday, I learned to work the registers! Finally! I loved every bit of it! I was also assigned to write down the scu numbers (by the barcode) of all the clothes on our mannequins for our inventory Sunday. I was standing on one of the tables in the canoe room, and went to step down onto a little bench which I thought was right under me (but wasn't), and fell to the ground. I wasn't hurt, since I landed on my foot, and just rolled onto my back from the momentum, and my legs flung into the air almost hitting some azn in the head. Best part, she just stood there looking at me. She didn't move when my foot was a few inches from her face, and she didn't help me up. She just stood there. It's okay lady, I'm fine...

Sunday, I was scheduled from 3-8, but didn't leave until 10:30. Awesome! It was inventory, so we had to go through the store and count every item. Then these ladies came and scanned every item, which was supposed to match up with the number we counted. Worst part, as they scanned, they DESTROYED the store. Clothes were unfolded all over, thrown onto the ground. It was a disaster. Earlier in the day, we were mobbed by an azn convention, and luckily for us, none of them spoke Engrish. There were these two little ones, running around the store, playing hide and seek tag. I was in men's three putting away some clothes in a closet, and I pushed apart some shirts to hang other ones, and

One of the little asian girls was hiding in the closet and near gave me a heart attack. She then giggled and ran off into the store.

So I nearly died three different times, three different days working at Abercrombie. I should call Discovery Channel and sign Abercrombie up for Dangerous Jobs.

I hate snow for a lot of reasons...

Remember those chocolates?

2011-01-24T00:37:00.000-05:00

These chocolates...

Well... this past Thursday an Asian called Abercrombie about the subject.

My manager told me how it went down today when I was at work.

M(anager): Abercrombie and Fitch Briarwood.
A(ZN): Herrro?
M: Hi. Can I help you?
A: Do you has find choc-late?
M: Find what?
A: My choc-late?
M: No, sorry.
A: Haz you (incomprehensible asian talk)
M: Sorry.
*Manager hangs up.*

My manager told me she couldn't understand anything she was saying so she just hung up.

Thanks Ms. AZN for the Godiva!! :)

Dive into the archives and some other shit.

2011-01-21T00:00:00.005-05:00

I made this as a part of a graphic competition last year, for promo of Gaga's performance at the Brit Awards 2010.

I guess it could also work for Grammy's 2011, though. February 13th CAN NOT come fast enough.

Gaga was recently the musical director for Theirry Mugler's runway show in Paris. For the show she released a remixed version of a new song off Born This Way called "Scheiße." It's got a great sound to it and I love hearing her speak in a German accent!

Where is the sun?

2011-01-20T00:56:00.000-05:00

Today at work I walked passed a mirror and got real sad because it made me realize how pale I've gotten.

Look at what a few dismal winter months can do! Oh, how I miss the sun and summer time.

So, with that in mind. GO AWAY WINTER. COME BACK SUMMER!

We all miss you dearly.

Babies

2011-01-19T00:00:00.003-05:00

Baby Chan and Baby Chelsea.

Adorbs, no?

Babality.

And Hermione is for Chelsea. It took quite a bit of time to make and she said to show off something that took a good chunk of time. So here she is.

Thanks Nameless Abercrombie Customer

2011-01-18T00:20:00.002-05:00

Thank you to whoever the customer was who left the $60 worth of chocolates from Godiva in the canoe room Sunday night. It's delicious.

It also served as a great motive for us workers to close the rooms extra neat and quickly, as my manager made it into a competition. Whoever closed the best got a goody bag!

I got one! Woooo!

Exactly One Year Ago

2011-01-14T00:00:00.001-05:00

I officially fell in love with Lady Gaga.

One year ago today is when I got back from my second Monster Ball.

Before those two consecutive nights, I was already a huge fan. I listened to and loved The Fame and The Fame Mons†er, but it was really feeling her passion and seeing her own the stage that made me the little monster I am today.

It was funny, because all day yesterday, I was listening to Gaga, and then while walking home from class I realized that last year, last night, she was singing to me!

Those were two of the best nights of my life (along with Pink in Chicago a few months prior, and the Lady again later in September). There is just something about concerts. Something about the pounding rhythm and the pulsating lights, it's so fantastico.

"Wow, our shoplifters are getting dumb!"

2011-01-13T00:31:00.000-05:00

Last night at Abercrombie, I encountered some pretty stupid shoplifters.

We were moving the floor sets around, and my manager was moving winter coats from the first room to the second room. There were six coats left in the front room, and she went to the back to get six hangers. Then a group of six girls came into the store. When my manager came back to the front, one of the coats was missing from the pile of coats she was moving. Maybe someone was going to buy it... no big deal. Then she saw one of the girls was wearing the same style coat that she was moving. That is when the person who was working in the first room told the manager that the girl wasn't wearing the coat when she walked in and she did in fact pick the coat up from the pile. So naturally, my manager confronted her. She simply asked her if she was interesting in buying the jacket, or if she would like a fitting room to try on other clothes. The girl got in my managers face and replied with a ghetto tone, "I already paid two hundo for dis..." That rightfully made my manager pissed, that the girl lied to her face, so she replied, "Oh, because I think that jacket was just in the pile over there that I was moving." She noticed the tags still on the jacket and asked if she could see it. The girl was giving her attitude and at first refused, but eventually handed the coat over. Once it was in my manager's hands, the girl started walking towards the back of the store. Odd thing to do if you just handed over your jacket, no? Then my manager found the sensor in the pocket of the jacket. BUSTED. The girl and her friends were then escorted out of the store.

Story number two. I was folding down the store and found a hoodie wadded up thrown into the center of a table. When I picked it up, a sensor fell out. It's not that unusual to find sensors hidden around the store, but the weird thing was, I felt the hoodie and discovered there was no sensor attached, but there was a hole where the sensor is usually attached. So our thievin' Steven literally ripped the sensor out of the hoodie, and then decided not to take the damaged goods.

"Wow, our shoplifters are getting dumb!"

The Picture of Dorian Gray

2011-01-12T00:00:00.004-05:00

I recently just finished reading Oscar Wilde's classic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.

I really enjoyed the book. It is a thinker.

Would you want to remain youthful for your entire life, or grow old with friends and loved ones?

My only criticism of the book is the extra chapters added from the book's first publishing to the second. It went from 13 chapters to 20 and while reading it, I could tell (what I think) was added because these chapters were very wordy and didn't advance the story. It did give some of the characters a decent background, and introduced quite a few minor characters, but I feel the story could accomplish the same without it.

The book has given me a great idea for a little project that I want to do in the time coming. More info on that to come!

Hold It Against Me

2011-01-11T00:00:00.000-05:00

If I said my heart was beating loud
If we could escape the crowd somehow

If I said I want your body now

Would you hold it against me?

This track is pure fire. In my opinion, progressive house and dub step are more than welcome in pop music. Weirdly enough, ever since I've been working at Abercrombie I've been listening nonstop to house remixed music and this song is right up my street. I can not wait for her album to drop.

This is just the thing to hold me over until we get Born This Way.

#blameiton2011

2011-01-10T00:00:00.000-05:00

Or Rhiannon Goedel. Whichever.

Today, after having a good 'ol fashion Jersey Shore party with Chelsea and Chan at my apartment, we departed Ann Arbor.

First, while pulling out of my excellent parallel parking spot in front of my apartment, with the WHOLE FRONT of my car already in the lane, some idiot speeds down the road and slams on their breaks and honks their horn. Idiot. I can't make the front of my car disappear...

It get's worse...

In Ann Arbor, there are lights every 20 feet down State St. Because of this, cars always end up blocking intersections because they think they can squeeze by, but then the light turns red and they are stuck blocking traffic. I was turning right onto State St., and there was not much room, so the front of my car was angled into the lane. Same idiot from before ends up speeding around me, turning right and cuts in front of my car, while flicking me off.

They then continued weaving in and out of traffic down State St., and continued causing road rage all down I-94. Driving behind them, I was wishing they would get a ticket, or something since they were driving like a maniac.

Then I heard it. PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Quick background... Last April, my van was driving wobble-y. As I would accelerate or slow down, the steering wheel would wobble. I didn't know what it was, I figured something about the alignment... Then driving down I-94 POP!. My driver-side rear tire popped. When I looked at it, it was SHREDDED. Like metal wires exposed shredded.

For the past few days, my van was wobbling again. I remembered thats what happened last year, so every time I got out of my van, I'd check the air in the tires, watching for any of them going flat. None of them looked semi-deflated at all.

Can you guess what happened?

Front driver-side tire. SHREDDED.

I pulled off to the shoulder of the EXPRESS WAY. A little bit of my van was still sticking out in the lane because the shoulder was so thin. I put on the emergency lights and opened the trunk door. I proceeded to get out the spare tire and search my van for the jack.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is driving down the road talking to Rhiannon.
R: "Hey, nothing bad has happened lately..."
C: "Don't say that, dude. It's not even funn -- OMG I almost just hit some guy broken down on the side of the road. OMG IT'S MATT BENYO!"
So basically, Rhiannon jinxed me and caused the flat tire.

Chelsea turned around and came to keep me company while changing my tire.

A cop did the same, he pulled behind me to assure that traffic would get over and not run into us. What a guy... except he didn't even get out of his car to see if I needed help and would only communicate with me via his megaphone.

Long story short, I changed the tire and made my way home safe. Weird thing is I broke down in about the same exact spot as last year. On I-94, right before the Michigan Ave. exit. Weird, no?

Jessie J

2011-01-07T00:00:00.004-05:00

Jessie J is a new artist that I discovered recently. She is from Essex, England and it's evident that she hops out of bed and turns her swag on. She most recently won Critic's Choice Award at the Brit's 2011. Past artist who won that award, which in return boosted their career, are Adele and Florence + the Machine. Hopefully it does the same for Jessie.

I found out about Jessie because I found out she was the reason many UKers don't like Cher Lloyd. They claim Cher is a cheap rip off of Jessie. I don't find much in common between the two. At all, really, besides they both rap and can sing. They are both talented in their own rights.

Jessie has something most popular artists don't today -- a great voice. I've become a fan pretty quickly, and am anxiously waiting for her debut CD.

Here she is singing Price Tag, one of her songs that I fell in love with on first listen. Check it out!

If you're too school for cool.

2011-01-06T00:00:00.005-05:00

I started classes yesterday.

First class of the day was philosophy. I really wanted to take a class with Nate, so I decided to take this one with him. Introduction to philosophy. It's taught by Dustin, who is basically the male version of Pocahontas. The class seems okay. It was just an introduction to the introduction course, not bad. It was a whole lot of "How do we know that this desk is really here." and "It's raining, sunny, and hot outside. How can you say I'm wrong? Maybe you're wrong." Interesting...

He kind of looks like that, only with hair past his butt. Side note, when I google imaged "native american male" I found a bunch of provocative photos with half naked buff young guys posing in their headdresses. Congrats Twilight, you made Native American Males into a fetish.

Organic Chemistry is going to be a toughie. Fortunately, I've got the "best" teacher at UM for the course. She was very excited and loves chemistry. Hopefully some of her enthusiasm rubs off on me.

Stats. I'm unsure how I feel about this class. My professor reminds me of Betsy's dad, and seemed humorous today. The subject doesn't seem that hard, yet I've heard that it's not an easy class -- that UM makes it harder than necessary. We'll see.

I've got Comm today, so we'll see how that goes.

Now. Here's a fact for you.

Books are RIDICULOUSLY expensive. OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive.

The total cost of all my books this semester is $300.

THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

"The Best This Table Has Ever Looked!"

2011-01-05T00:00:00.001-05:00

I worked in the morning at Abercrombie on Monday, and I LOVED it!

1. The kids are back in school, so that means no obnoxious middle schoolers messing everything up.

2. The parents are back to work, so that means no obnoxious adults messing everything up.

Plus, it was the morning, and the creatures apparently only come out when it's dark.

Since the store was in pristine condition, Danielle (one of the store managers), had me "audit" the jean table in Men's 2. Auditing includes perfectly straightening the jeans and size-stickering them, making sure we have a max of two jeans per size out on the floor, with one pair stacked on top of the table, and the others in drawers below.

I had to do 6 different jeans, and it took me about 2 hours to finish the table.

When I was finished with the left side of the table (first 3 jeans), Danielle came over and said they looked "beautiful" and took a picture of them to send to my other managers to show them how nice the table looked. And I quote, "This is the best this table has ever looked!"

Later, another one of the managers came to work, Mandy, who is a stickler when it comes to folding. She even complimented my jeans!

Two of my coworkers also said the jeans looked great, and then we placed bets as to how long it would remain parfait.

Unfortunately... I left soon after, so I'm not sure how long my hard work remained.

100,000

2011-01-04T00:00:00.000-05:00

Yesterday my youtube video hit 100,000 views.

I was beyond stocked when I found out.

This is so exciting! I can't believe my video has been watched over 100,000 times.

Heres to 100,000 more!

2011 - Year of the Unicorn

2011-01-03T00:43:00.002-05:00

The year of Gaga.

Much like 2010 was, 2011 is going to be HUGE for Lady Gaga. I, for one, am excited for Born This Way, as I'm sure are the millions of other Little Monsters out there.

2.13 and 5.23 couldn't come sooner.

This is my homage to the Lady. I made this back last Septemberish while Illustrator was still new to me. It's probably the best thing I've made on Illustrator since though.

Ps. Also going to be a big year for Momma Pink! Can't wait to see her baybay.

Speaking of Pink... Guess who just reached 100,000 hits on youtube!

Whataya Want From MEEEEE!!!

2010

2010-12-31T17:53:00.003-05:00

2010 was been great. Fantastic. I would have never thought that I would do many of these things in my life, let alone in ONE YEAR. I'll try to do this in chronological order...

I saw Lady Gaga twice in two days. Went to Frankenmuth over Spring Break with Nathan, Betsy, and Amy, which is where I got my Guess leather jacket that I am in love with. We also went to Tony's and ordered the 1 pound BLT sandwich. I saw the Black Eyed Peas -- and didn't have to pay for the concert! Went to Tiger's opening day celebration at Cheli's Chili with Sheri, Kevin, and friends. I went to Kensington beach the first warm day of the year. I babysat Jemma/Demi the goat for a weekend. Bleached my hair! Went to Chicago with Nate on the Megabus (and it only cost $3ish!). Visited with my Polish friend Maggie Polka. Went on the Sky Deck at the Willis (Sears) Tower. Rollerbladed along the beach. Nate and I found the Blizzardmobile in Chicago and got free blizzards! I met Katharine McPhee (who told me the name of her baby in The House Bunny and told me that I have gorgeous eyes.) Meet Nathan's cousin Jason and his fiancé Milana (who is such a great and inspirational person) from Hong Kong. Explored Downtown Royal Oak with BB and Danny. Got a job at Cranbrook Summer Art Studio, where I met my new bff Chelsea Kirchoff! Went up north to Betsy's cabin, where I got so tan I was basically black. Became buddies with Hugh Jackman's son Oscar at Cranbrook. Went to Florida with my family and Nate and, again, became black. Was an extra in Hugh Jackman's movie Real Steel. Found out that I was pretty enough to sit with the "pretty girls" and "upscale" people during Real Steel. Saw Lady Gaga for a THIRD time this year. Ran into Taris Tyler (HJ's stand-in) at the Gaga concert, which made my and Chelsea's night. Went to NEW YORK CITY for the FIRST time and had the time of my life. Went to the Jackman's house for lunch, and then to a park to play soccer with Hugh and Oscar. Got my picture taken by the paparazzi and found it online! Found Swatch (from Project Runway) at Mood Fabrics. Went to Sleep Hallow and ran through the infamous cemetery (away from the Headless Horseman of course...)Was a pirate AGAIN (for 3 years in a row) for Halloween. Made a mashup of Pink and Adam Lambert's Whataya Want From Me, which ended up burning up the internet and was even featured on Perez Hilton's website! Went to Necto for Betsy's birthday and had a blast. Went to an advance screening of Psych. Finally met and hung out with Chandler Kirchoff (Chelsea's fun brother). Found out my mashup of Whataya Want From Me was the "year's best mashup" beating even Glee! Saw excellent movies, such as Black Swan, Salt, Toy Story 3, Inception. Listened to great music, such as Cheryl Cole, Pink, Gaga, new Christina Aguilera, new Rihanna, new Katy Perry. Got a job at Abercrombie and Fitch. 2010 was a great year, and it's going to be hard to top. Bring it 2011.

First Day at Work

2010-12-20T00:21:00.000-05:00

Went into work yesterday, see my manager standing at the door.

Me: "Hey!"

Her: "Where's your plaid..."

"Umm... I don't have any..."

"Oh, because that is what employees are supposed to wear."

So looks like I'm going to need to buy a plaid shirt for tomorrow's shift.

I said the tagline about one million times.

Hey, what's going on? Check out 8 and Fierce, they make great stocking stuffers!

Usually followed with the customer asking, "What?" in reference to no one knowing that 8 and Fierce are the store's fragrances.

I only worked four hours and my back was hurting so bad.

Looks like I'm going to have fun tomorrow!

Come visit me 6-11.

Paris is Burning

2010-12-16T00:16:00.000-05:00

Figuratively, of course.

As of 12:30 (hopefully sooner) I will officially be done with my final required French class at UM.

As I walk out of the testing hall, I am expecting to hear a hallelujah chorus being sung.

I am so excited to be done with language courses here at UM. I've reached the level where, instead of learning French, you are now learning things about France (like how it was during WW2... ughhhh).

I love the language and hope to continue to practice and develop my speaking skills, maybe a trip to France would help?

PS. The photo (above) was taken right after fireworks, and while the Eiffel tower is still lit up. Its not really burning...

Study Tips

2010-12-15T00:00:00.000-05:00

With finals coming up, I've been studying a lot, and for anyone reading this going through the same hellish situation as me, here are some tips:

1. Disconnect your internet.
2. Disconnect your cable.
3. Isolate yourself from everyone.

Crap post? Blame it on finals...

X Factor Finale

2010-12-13T00:00:00.011-05:00

Congrats Matt Cardle!

He was one of my favorites from the beginning. His heavenly falsetto and charm won him this competition! I am really excited to see what comes from his career!

I am ecstatic that 1Direction did not win, but I'm sure we will be seeing more of them, along with the runner-up Rebecca Ferguson. Neither of them were bad, per say, but 1D weren't up to par (unless your a 12 year old girl) and Rebecca, while having a gorgeous voice, was lacking a personality.

I hope Matt and Aiden record some sort of duet. I love Aiden's unique voice and his quiff. Aiden is the best! Plus these two are clearly bbfs and adorbs together!

Saying all this, let's not kid ourselves... Cher Lloyd was the true winner of XF7. We (including us in America) will be seeing a lot from this girl. She owns the stage with her attitude and charisma.

This one is for CK.

2010-12-10T00:13:00.000-05:00

I saw this, smiled, and thought of Miz Chelsea Kirchoff.
Two of her favorite things.

And Begin the Complaining...

2010-12-09T00:24:00.000-05:00

I hate the ends of semesters.

It requires too much studying. Too many papers to write. Too many presentations to present. Too many exams to take. TOO MUCH.

Can it be over yet?

Entre les Murs

2010-12-08T00:42:00.000-05:00

I watched this movie for my french class and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

Remember that movie, Freedom Writers with Hilary Swank? I've never seen the whole movie, but from what I understand of it, it is about her dealing with "difficult" students and helping them overcome their struggles.

That is basically what this movie is about. It is about a teacher struggling with students with bad attitudes in intercity France, and helping them overcome obstacles in their lives.

I really felt connected with a lot of the characters in this movie, a lot of the students and the teacher himself. I put myself in his shoes a lot during the movie, trying to guess how I would react to the multiple insane things the students do. It really opened my eyes. If I were planning on becoming a teacher, I think I would love/hate to work with kids like this. I would love to see all the hard work I put in to the students pay off at the end of the year. However, you see in the movie how he vents to other teachers when they don't try and how he can see so much potential in them, but they don't show initiative to learn. That would frustrate me to no end. Also a lot of the students talk back to him, and at one point he calls two girls skanks. The students respond by calling him an asshole and he then defends himself by saying teachers are allowed to say certain things that students aren't. I disagree with that. I think that students should be able to say anything teachers are. Its all about fairness both ways.

Anyway, it is a great movie and I suggest you all watch it! With subtitles, of course.

Vlog!

2010-12-07T00:00:00.012-05:00

I'll let the video speak for itself.

PS. I'm officially a moose. At least for the holiday season.

X Factor

2010-12-06T01:52:00.000-05:00

This weekend is the X Factor finale!

INTENSE!

Only four left... Cher, Rebecca, Matt and One Direction.

I'm rooting for Cher or Matt to take home the big V.

I know for a fact, even if she doesn't win, we will be seeing a lot of Cher Lloyd in our future!

Chelsea Kirchoff has not stopped singing Nicki Minaj's Check It Out or Roman's Revenge.

She is an avid fan, so this post is dedicated her her! :)

She's not the only fan though, as I thoroughly enjoy me some Nicki too.

I listened to her album and there are some seriously hot tracks. Fly and Blazin' are definitely top of the list for me, so CHECK IT OUT. ;)

We watched her MTV documentary tonight, and it just makes me like her so much more. You can see how sincere, selfless, and genuine she is and other parts how the bitch boss can come out. The footage all seemed very real.

One of the reasons I really like her is because she admits to always putting acting first (which is why she always makes her infamous wacky faces), and that Nicki Minaj, as we all know her, is a character played by Ms. Onika Maraj. During an interview, she was asked if she is playing the role of a rapper right now, and her response: "Maybe.... Maybe I was just auditioning to see if I could kick everybody’s ass and then I’ll gracefully bow out and say 'I’m done…next role!'"

I'm not sure why, but for some reason I love her answer.

Broken Toe

2010-12-02T03:17:00.000-05:00

The other day I was admiring my christmas decorated apartment when I stubbed my toe on my couch.

I legit think my toe is broken, but I don't have time to check it out and/or worry about it because of the stress over my bio paper. Luckily it is due today, so regardless if I am happy with it or completely finished, it will be off of my mind as of 5 pm today.

Then I can focus on my broken toe.

Black Friday

2010-11-29T00:00:00.000-05:00

This year, Thanksgiving day I wasn't so sure if there would be a need for early morning shopping -- until I was looking through the circulars are saw an add for a 42 inch TV at Walmart. The sale started at 5 AM and the circular said that there would be a minimum of 5 per store. 5?! I needed to get there early if I wanted to get one! Chelsea and I decided to go to Walmart at midnight, and just wait in the line for the TV until 5. Sounds horrible, but it really wasn't.

We arrived at Walmart a little after midnight and there was NO parking. I had to park on the grass at the very back corner of the parking lot. When we walked in, we were in awe. Every single aisle was filled to capacity. You had to squeeze in between people and duck and dodge to get around. It took a while to find the line, due to uninformed (assumed temp) employees. When we finally found the line, we found a Ripley's Believe It Or Not! book and popped a squat to read it. The best part was that we only spoke in a british accent the whole night. We sat in line until about 3, when my dad came to stand in line for us so we could go to Target.

Target opened at 4, and we got in line around 330. Chelsea and I found Nate and Betsy in line, so we stood with them. Those 30 minutes standing outside in the FREEZING weather felt at least ten times longer than those 3 hours inside at Walmart. Target is notorious for having the WORST lines on Black Friday. Luckily for us, we had a game plan. I would run to the furniture area for a computer chair, and Chelsea would run to the kitchen area for a nice set of pots and pans. The doors opened and we bolted. We found our objects and made our way towards the checkout. We were one of the first people there, so there was no line at all. We were in and out of Target in 15 minutes, top. BOSS.

After Target, we went back to Walmart to swap with my dad again. We got the TV, pulled around to the back of Walmart to have them load it in my van and enjoy the rest of our shopping day.

Kohls was next to buy clothes to my family. We got everything we needed, so decided to wander around the mall for a while, waiting for my dad to finish his hockey game. We got a Red Bull from Charlotte's Russe, which was just what I needed to not zombify on the way home.

Next stop was Briarwood mall. We picked up my cousins to come with us, and made our way around the mall. First stop was Abercrombie, only so Chelsea and I could get a nice whiff of Fierce. While making our way around the store, one of the employees approached me asking if I wanted a job. Cha-CHING! Perfect timing, my bank account is starting to whither up. I've got an interview with them tomorrow. Wish me luck!

My one goal was to find an sweatshirt, but a very specific plain "boring" comfy sweater. Problem is... NO ONE HAD THEM. I find one and only one at Sears. I fell in love with it, but was so sad that was the only one I could find. I walked through so many stores... Abercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle, Pac Sun, Gap, Banana Republic, Express.... NADA. I didn't see anything I liked. The only thing I semi-liked was these cardigans from AE. Not much caught my eye this year.

I was virtually sleepless this past weekend. Last Wednesday I woke up at 9 for my class at 10. I didn't go to bed until 7 am Thursday (I will talk about that adventure later...), planning on sleeping until the late afternoon to stay up real late for shopping. Problem was... my dad woke me up at 11, so that plan went out the window. The only sleep I got later was a 15 minute nap before going to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving Dinner. Then I didn't sleep at all Thursday night, then went on a shopping extravaganza. I took a 2 hour nap after finishing shopping before going to my friends house for Thanksgiving Dinner pt. 2. Then went to Betsy's house for some games. I finally got to bed around 1 am. Let me do the math for you... In 63 hours, I only slept for 6.15 hours. DEAD TIRED = ZOMBIE in the mall.

In X Factor news...

This week 2 contestants were sent home. Katie and Wagner!
FINALLY WAGNER IS GONE!
Next week is the semi finals and the following week is the finale! This season RUSHED by.
All the judges, except for Cheryl, only have one contestant left... this is getting tense.

Sorry!

Sorry for the lack of updates last week.

Chelsea came over to our apartment, and we went on various adventures which explains lack of post of Tuesday.

Friday was Black Friday which meant I didn't sleep at all because I was at various stores. So when I got the chance to be at home, not at a store, you bet I slept!

Black Friday adventures coming Monday...

Gobble.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Eat that gobble gobble.
Fill up on tryptophan, and get that nap out of the way!
It's practically black Friday!
